Anti-Valentine’s Week 2025 Full List: The week of love has come to an end, and now it is time to observe the Anti-Valentine’s Week. While Valentine’s Day is associated with love, affection, and gestures of romance, anti-Valentine’s week is a light-hearted celebration for those who may not be enthusiastic about romantic festivities. People celebrate this counter-celebration week with playful gestures, acknowledging a spectrum of emotions beyond love.
The week starts with Slap Day on February 15 and ends with Breakup Day on February 21. In this article, let’s know all about the days after Valentine’s week:
Anti-Valentine’s Week 2025: Full List

It is a tongue-in-cheek observance for those who have been wronged in relationships, whether by betrayal, emotional distress, or being made to feel unworthy. On this day, people exchange symbolic slaps by dismissing negativity and poking fun at the over-the-top romanticism associated with Valentine’s Day.
- Kick Day (February 16): Following the slap comes the second day of the week, Kick Day. This day is an occasion to humorously signify kicking away negative feelings, taking action to improve your life, and celebrating positivity. On this day, participants kick out negativity, embrace possibilities, and have a fantastic day with tongue-in-cheek messages, quotes, and memes, encouraging a step towards a more positive mindset.
- Perfume Day (February 17): Amid jest and banter, Perfume Day is observed on February 17. The day steps in as a breath of fresh air and emphasises the importance of surrounding oneself with positive and delightful fragrances to uplift the mood. This day is also the perfect time to pamper yourself, indulge in the luxurious world of perfumes, and explore new scents.
- Flirt Day (February 18): Celebrated on February 18, Flirt Day is about embracing the lighter side of interactions. This day invites individuals to engage in fun conversations and be confident. For singles, this day is a perfect opportunity to let go of their hesitations, take chances, and indulge in the playful art of flirting without the weight of serious commitments.
- Confession Day (February 19): As the name suggests, this day is all about confessing your true feelings. This day is for those souls yearning to express their partner, crush, or beloved their emotions, guilt, or a mistake they have been carrying in their heart for a long time. Whether positive or negative, Confession Day can be a nerve-wracking but exciting opportunity to have open communication with honesty.
- Missing Day (February 20): Missing Day is the sixth day of Anti-Valentine’s Week, observed on February 20. On this day, individuals acknowledge and express feelings of longing for something or someone special that is absent from their lives. Missing Day is a chance for people to reflect and recognise their sorrow over losing someone very close to their hearts in their lives.
- Breakup Day (February 21): The last day of Anti-Valentine’s Week is Breakup Day. Ending a relationship is probably one of the most daunting parts to deal with. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been with someone for a few weeks, months, or years, one thing is certain: it ain’t easy. But breakup day is the perfect moment to walk away from relationships that are no longer serving you.
Whether one chooses to celebrate the day of love with roses and candlelit dinners or indulge in the playful spirit of Anti-Valentine’s Week, the key is to find joy in whichever way feels right.
