makelemonade1974 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Any idea on how all of us hopeless romantics should handle this holiday? I, for one, know my ex is expecting me to break contact on this day and he's not getting a peep from me because I have taken my power back! My best friend has ditched me for a guy. Options? I'm thinking about ice cream and a sleeping pill.
PegNosePete Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Shoot some people up on online games, then watch a high octane movie with plenty of gratuitous violence and nudity. Pretty much the same as every other night, then!
Movingthrough Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Personally, I dont really care about the day, its more of the thought of what the ex is doing. Then again, we all know what they are going to be doing (for the ex's who have moved on). I saw my psych the other day and he asked me what i was going to be doing on monday, i was like monday? Oh yeah.... He told me the day was joke and never lived up to anyones expectations so it usually causes more problems then good. Its funny though, because since my break up i have had to go through all the major holidays, it is hard but then again they all are what you make it. I dont know if my ex is thinking i will contact her, but the last week she has been pinning for me im pretty sure, thats a whole new post but she is making moves now to see whats going on with me. Funny thing is, why do you care if you are so in love with someone new? Once again, more proof that when ex's move on real quick, its never what you think it is...
700miles Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Good idea that you are planning ahead!!!!!!! I recently ended a LDR...now I get to "enjoy" endless commericals and store displays promoting a day of love! ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! It certainly adds salt to the wound. But, I refuse to stay home and cry in my wine! Instead, I am planning a party and inviting all the singles I know. Nothing heart-themed...but something fun and upbeat for all to look forward to, or at least for everyone to be able to say "Going to a party" when asked about the evening's plans. Who knows...I might introduce a couple or two! The planning is a nice diversion for me. I'd like to think my ex is without plans...so makes me feel much better to enjoy the night!!
darran Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Its BS to be honest.... just a day for the girlfriend if you have one lol. I know my ex will be working. Actually... enduring my ex doing a rebound for close to 3 months makes enduring V-Day pretty straight forward!!!!

I'm thinking about ice cream and a sleeping pill. As much as I like to dismiss V-Day as just another day on the calendar, it doesn't change all the lovey-dovey broo-ha-ha going on around me. I've never once had a good V-Day...even when I had a boyfriend. So, I've made it a tradition to get either a bottle of Moscato or my favorite vino, drink my fill and sit down & watch Fatal Attraction. Maybe that's a bit on dark side, but at least it puts a smile on my face.
0hpenelope Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Valentine's Day? Oh... It's a Monday. Well, shoot, start of the work week? Really? Oh yeah, this is about Valentine's day, right? To quote one of my favorite Twitter accounts: "Nah, we don't celebrate it. Don't know who St. Valentine was, don't give a sh#t, and doubt he wants people screwing in his memory."
depplover_1980 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I'm going to wait outside restuarants and go up to couples and shout at the guy and say 'YOU SAID YOU'D TELL HER ABOUT US - I WAITED ALL NIGHT FOR YOU TO TURN UP'. Kidding.

cerridwen Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) I'm not going to let my recent breakup get to me. So, sending love to the ones in my life who STUCK AROUND. Valentine's cards and bath bombs for my girlfriends! Edited February 11, 2011 by cerridwen Because I always forget some punctuation!! geez
LostMyHeart Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I'm going to go win a Karaoke contest...on the one year anniversary of meeting the man that changed my life. Even though he is not a part of it anymore, I will hold onto the best memories I have ever had until someone good comes along to change them and takes away the bad ones.

Ajax Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I think I might go to the zoo and watch the monkeys.
Whatshername Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Ajax, that reminded me of something very funny. In Manhattan Ks, on Valentine's Day, at the small zoo there, they give the chimps a cake. I have not been there for years, but this was the norm. The largest male, would come out, swinging on a rope and beating his chest, acting fierce and wild and totally demolish the cake. Then the other chimps were permitted to have some. :laugh:My kids used to howl watching this.
Whatshername Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I am taking my daughter (who just left her verbally abusive husband), and a new guy FRIEND ONLY ice skating. We will probably get something to eat afterward.
Cee Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I'm going to a party a friend is throwing at her place. We are going to cook food and watch a movie. I think she's pretty amazing because she is living with her boyfriend and both of them would rather invite people to their home. I RSVP'd several weeks ago before I got into a relationship. So I am bringing my new boyfriend with me. I think low key, fun group activities are a great well to celebrate the day. I'm going to try to make that a tradition.
Anxiety Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I'm going to a code change class so I can renew my Journeymans license. I already broke NC by mailing my ex a card. I couldn't resist...I miss her.
gator12 Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Hahaha I will be at a get together at my friend's apartment. Funny thing is, I know my ex is going to be busy with school and lacrosse all day, as well as this entire weekend. We talked and seems that "I'm the only good guy that she ever felt safe with." Idk, I debated sending her flowers just out of kindness but I don't want to set back any progress I've made towards getting her back. Valentine's day is overrated lol. -Gator
