candie13 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 On V-day, plenty of girls get invitations for outings! It's a matter of them accepting it . I don't think it is a holiday for people only in relationships at all. Please give me the name of the place and the exact location, and I shall move to your planet immediately ! I think your view is terribly skewed, Fondue. This celebration puts a lot of pressure on both men and women, and unless they go out for a serious amount of time - like a year or so - no one would acknowledge it. I mean, I talked to my gfs and vented about my "situation" - I'm dating a guy for a month and a half now. He said NOTHING about St.V and I was sort of annoyed. Guess what, it is normal, it's too much pressure! St.V is about "love", man, it's about "declaring your feelings", it's as if you had a girl asking you the dreaded question: "where is this relationship going ?" In a society that praises the casual approach, if you are not in a sound, well designed relationship, you just don't go messing around with people you don't really know on St.V. Not safe, subject to too many interpretations. Hell, I'm not even waxing my legs, my expectations are so low! so yeah, I see a lot of singles ignoring St.V, a lot of people who are dating pretending to ignore St.V and only those in "relationships" celebrating.
Author 316 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 Gimme a break. Texting is LAME and cowardly. What do you think men have done since the beginning of time and right up until 10 or 15 years ago? They sprouted a set and CONTACTED a woman if they had an interest in her. They didn't use this pansy texting nonsense. Now I SEE why this newest generation is so socially stilted. They no longer have the ability to interact like human beings. Everyone else in this thread thinks texting is just fine in this situation. I don't appreciate being called socially stilted either. FYI I've talked to this girl in person plenty of times and even took her out on a casual date. My social skills are fine. You sound like a grumpy old man. lol
ASG Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Yes! I know plenty of women, thanks! On V-day, plenty of girls get invitations for outings! It's a matter of them accepting it . I'm sure if you pick up the phone of any attractive girl this week, you'll have texts from guys asking her what her plans are for Thursday. It is up to HER if she wants to spend it alone or with someone. I will give you the fact that it may not be someone that is particularly wants to be WITH, but that's not the point. I don't think it is a holiday for people only in relationships at all. I too know plenty of attractive girls and I can tell you they're not getting any invitations to go out on Vday. Or are you one of those guys that think if a girl is attractive then she will have no dating issues and will always have a stream of guys lining up? Cause reality is not like that. In my experience, and that of my friends, VDay is really *only* for people in relationships. And sure, single people don't have to spend it alone. They can go out with friends, like on any other day. But not on first dates! Also, if you go on the Valentines's Day thread, someone there said that they accidentally booked their 2nd date for VDay and were thinking of changing it!

FYI I've talked to this girl in person plenty of times and even took her out on a casual date. My social skills are fine. You sound like a grumpy old man. lol Hmm in that case maybe you should call her? Calling is understandably nerve racking for today's gen. Many use IM and Texts far to often so when it comes to actual phone conversations... well some are pretty inexperienced. However if you've taken this girl out on a casual date before then lowering the bar with texts on V-Day won't really get you anywhere. Fondue may be a little pessimistic but he does have point. What if other guys are texting her on Thursday? You'll just be one in a crowd homie. If you do just want to make her feel nice I suppose a text won't hurt. But arming yourself with confidence and calling might be more noteworthy in her eyes.
