gopher Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I thought I'd start a thread for those of us not married, in a relationship or dating someone... What are your plans for Feb 14th? Are you sad that you aren't in a relationship or relieved? I have my kids that day and have no major plans...maybe a movie with them or bowling. It would be nice to be in a relationship, but I'm fairly content, so it won't be a sad day...
not_a_happy_camper Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 more money for the card companies................................ never been bothered by Valentines day much. Would be nice to be with someone. But I'm not. It's a day like any other. I always think its nicer to do special things on days other than Valentines............that way you know the other half isn't just doing something because it's valentines day, but because you really are that special person!
belladonna Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Theres some bands playing nearby that I want to see but don't know if my other friends will want to go (as they have boyfriends). And it's on a Saturday so I have to do something! lol. So I have no idea. Maybe I'll see what my friends at school will be up for, unfortunately they are not so into live music. It's not a big deal, but is just annoying because it's on a Saturday night and my closer friends will be doing stuff with their bfs. Bah.
griffinchicken53 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 i'm not fond of the day. I've never dated anyone on Valentine's Day. Society seems to look down on single people on this holiday. My high school years i'd sit at home on valentine's, prom, etc and sit in front of the tv and eat. I'd like to be with someone, just so many more guys better than me.
D-Lish Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I won't even acknowledge the day. It's just another day to me. It's been years since I was seeing someone on V-day. I'll be staying in that night- because all my friends are married or in relationships- so nothing will be going on.
amaysngrace Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 This falls on Valentine's Day this year in case anyone's interested: http://blip.tv/file/151630
OpenBook Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Are you sad that you aren't in a relationship or relieved? Definitely relieved!! :bunny: I'll celebrate the day with a nice bowl of those little candy hearts with "Eat Me" written on them. It does seem like there's an inordinate amount of V-Day commercials this year, all aimed at men wondering what to get for the objects of their desire - Vermont Teddy Bear, Pajama-Grams, Proflowers, Russell Stover Candies, etc.etc.etc. C'mon people, we're in a recession here!!
blondesmiler Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 i'm not fond of the day. I've never dated anyone on Valentine's Day. Society seems to look down on single people on this holiday. Yes society makes Valentines Day very difficult for single people to go out and do anything and your kinda look at as a sado because you don't have a date. It sucks. But this year I have booked to go to this singles party in London, over 300 people, been to one before (not on Val day) and it was just good fun being around single people for a change so am looking forward to it.
Frankasy Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Well I've spent a few St Valentines days lately single so it isn't really that big of a deal. Not long ago I had high hopes that finally after years, St Valentine's Day would approach me as in a relationship, serious one but now it's impossible. Actually I'm kinda racing against time to find on e of my ex's number and hook up with her for a while but it would be anything serious. If I don't find her number in time, no big deal.
Ross PK Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I've always been single (not by choice), but for some reason Valentines day has never bothered me.
griffinchicken53 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 it wouldn't be so bad except you go to the store and everything is pink and red, balloons and flowers everywhere. Wal-mart, kroger, target, even stores that don't sell the stuff suddenly has the stuff everywhere. and like someone said you can't turn the tv on without seeing something about love and all that other crap. at least i can get on the internet and not see it.........aw crap !!!!!they got it there too.
tinke Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 blondesmiler, just curious, are you going alone?
redmelon Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I am very recently single and dreading next weekend, and V-Day. I have never been one to care much about this holiday, but considering my new and surprising single status, it is going to shine a light on my sadness. I am not really sure what to do with myself, as all my friends are attached at the moment. It seems I will find myself sitting at home with nothing to do, and that is depressing. I know I should have a better attitude about it, but I can't seem to change my perspective. As I said, this is all quite a new thing, and the 13th will mark one month since the end of a very serious relationship and engagement. I am still nursing some pretty deep wounds and V-Day just adds insult to injury.
A4DDL Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Sad and relieved really....I'm torn about it....on the 13th it will be a year since I found out that my ex-husband was getting married again. I loved him so...although he hurt me emotionally and mentally quite a bit. It is a blow to know he's found somebody else to marry, and I haven't. B/c of him I lost all my friends and most of my family too. Oh.. it's gonna be a lonely day. I haven't been able to start dating again for fear of being hurt. However, I'm relieved to think that at least it won't be me again that HE gets to hurt. Maybe I'm fortunate after all he's out of my life for good... I just wish I had a friend to share that day with.
alphamale Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 What are your plans for Feb 14th? right now? nothing really Are you sad that you aren't in a relationship or relieved?... i'm happy either way...being single and being attached both have their good and bad points
kittykatz Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 A bunch of my friends and I are just spending the day together cuz a bunch of us are single. Plus it gives me a chance to get out of my dorm where all my roommates are paired up.

sunshinegirl Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I am having coffee with a friend in the afternoon, and then babysitting my awesome nephews and niece that night so my sis & her hubby can go out on the town. Those kids are a great antidote to any V-Day blues I might otherwise feel. I love them to pieces.
Isolde Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I'm a little sad but only because I like someone right now. Actually, I'm so busy with schoolwork that I probably won't notice.
knaveman Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 What?! There's a day for that too?! Will there be free porn and beer?

It would be nice to be in a relationship, but I'm fairly content, so it won't be a sad day... Hate Valentine's Day. Especially in my country, this occasion is so overrated. Guess I just feel left behind coz I'm unattached. I even remembered being absent in the office on that day coz some of my co-workers have partners, and 2 of them are lovers--and they're in my social circle, have lunch during lunch breaks, when we leave the office, I'm already getting used to being the pathetic 3rd wheel. I'm so glad when I got another job, got to see some new people without having to hang out with the "lovers" more often. Though, i know they're my friends and they have my best interests at heart, I'm so happy to move on without them (bitterness talking here:laugh:) Boy, I'm so glad there are so many single ladies here in my new job and we can relate to each other being loveless in V-day.
LouiseC Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I can't stand Valentines day, in fact I hate it with a passion! The last 3 years I been with someone, but never done anything. I refuse to allow a card company dictate to me when I should be romantic. My birthday is 2 days before it, and I always told him not to buy me flowers for either that or Valentines day - I begrudge him paying £50 for flowers that in a weeks time will be about £20. Argh! I'd rather celebrate the day we got together instead.... This Valentines day, although I'm semi with someone, I'm spending it at a friends where we'll be watching a film and having some drinks
