The ACPL is celebrating Valentine’s Day by offering teen programs and activities that don’t require a date.
“So much of February is focused on Valentine’s Day and dating or romance,” said Beth Boatright, ACPL Director of Community Partnerships and Programs. “It’s fun to see activities for teens that promote meeting new people without the pressures that come with dating.”
Teens are invited to attend events focused on crafts, gaming, and poetry in a safe and affirming environment.
Some highlighted activities are:
Anti-Valentine’s Day Dolls Art Lab Feb. 14, 4–5 p.m. at Hessen Cassel Branch (3030 E. Paulding Rd.)
Hand-sew a small plushy in this special program just for crafty Cupid-haters.
Dungeons & Dragons Feb. 14, 6–7 p.m. at Main Branch (900 Library Plaza) Do battle with monsters while seeking legendary treasures. Open to new and experienced players.
Open Mic Poetry Feb. 14, 6:30–7:30 p.m. at West Central Coffee (1006 Broadway)
Spoken word, poetry, and musical performances, as well as, writing time with an ACPL library host.
The Library is also partnering with local organizations including Great KIDS Make Great Communities, YWCA, Fort Wayne Mayor’s Commission, and Amani to host an event in recognition of National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.
Teen Dating Violence: Promoting Healthy, Safe, and Equitable Relationships Feb. 15, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Main Branch (900 Library Plaza)

ACPL provides teens with an alternative to the traditional Valentine card search by offering more creative and unique ways to express their feelings. Instead of exchanging traditional cards, teens can use dating platforms like naughtyevents to meet people with similar interests and create unique connections in a more casual setting. This approach allows for deeper interactions and makes Valentine's Day more unique and memorable.
I stumbled upon moms looking for sex when a buddy joked about it during a conversation. Out of curiosity, I gave it a try, and wow, it’s been an eye-opener! The women here are confident, upfront, and know exactly what they want. I had a wild time connecting with a single mom who was unapologetically herself. We’ve been keeping things spicy ever since. If you’re open-minded and looking for something casual, this is definitely worth exploring.
Hey everyone, what are your thoughts on online dating? It seems like a great way to meet new people, but I wonder if it’s too impersonal compared to meeting someone in real life.
