According to records, Single Awareness Day was established as a result of social isolation. In 2001, Dustin Barns, a high school student, decided to form a group with his friends so that instead of being sad and depressed about being singles, they could use a day to celebrate singlehood. The singles certainly hated Valentine’s Day and hence chose February 15 as a protest Valentine’s Day and started selling candies and chocolates at a huge discount. The aim was to inform as many people as possible about Singles Awareness Day.

However, this tradition was passed by Dustin from high school to Mississippi State University, where it got very popular. February 15 was copyrighted in 2015 as a single awareness day, and since then, this day is being celebrated by singles around the world.
