‘Best Thing I Never Had’ singer passes along some advice to MTV News that might just snag you a BF on the candy-coated holiday.

With ample backing from 1-800-Flowers and the well-funded greeting-card industry, Valentine’s Day has been tormenting unattached girls for decades. So with just a few hours before the candy-coated holiday kicks off, we turned to someone we thought could empathize with the plight of “Single Ladies” everywhere, and asked her for advice on how to endure February 14 … without a trip to the therapist.

Although husband Jay-Z put an 18-carat ring on it in 2008, Beyoncé‘s catalog — packed with riding-solo anthems from “Irreplaceable” to “Me, Myself and I” — has been a balm for the boyfriend-less. In fact, the Bey Hive code would seem dictate that a real diva would never spend the day throwing a pity party. And Mrs. Carter reaffirmed that when we caught up with her on Tuesday night for a screening of her HBO documentary,“Beyoncé: Life Is but a Dream.”

“You know, for single ladies on Valentine’s Day, I’ve learned that you can go enjoy your life and have you a great old time by yourself and with your girls,” said a sequined-gown-clad Bey, after taking a thoughtful pause.

It must be mentioned that as she spoke to MTV News under cover of a white tent, Beyoncé’s back-grazing blond locks blew around her face, apparently with the help of an invisible wind-machine. We highly recommend tracking down one of these at your nearest Best Buy (or wherever multiplatinum pop divas get their appliances) before embarking on your V-Day adventure.

Most important, though, the 31-year-old Houston native told us, slipping into her Southern drawl with a big laugh, “Go and have you a wonderful time — you may meet your man that night!”
