Teacher's Pet Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Happy Valentine's Day to everyone........ I know this day sucks for most of us, so just vent here.... We're all in this together! Just remember something..... Valentine's Day shouldn't be a reminder about how we "don't have love", it's a reminder that we CAN love. Much love to all. -tp pass the chocolate and scotch.
silentcharon Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Mmm, it's a triple whammy for me. Last year, my ltr bf of 7 years dumped me three days after my birthday on the 1st. Then my recent ex dumped me the day after my bday this month. Then valentine's day, of which I have been single for twice now. Strangely, I'm faring well. I'm getting my mom a card and some flowers!
KittenMoon Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I can deal with not having someone on VDay, even after my ex of over six years ditched last year two days before. What's gonna kill me I know is when I hear about all the nice things the male halves of my coupled friends (most of them) did for the female halves. I'm practicing my pain-masking smile as we speak. Ta hell with love.
suchislife Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I found a dance studio about 6 weeks ago with incredible dance lessons. I'm going to a special Valentines dance class tomorrrow night and I'm wearing a pink top with a sparkly heart on it. Not my usual attire, but I'm feeling rather quietly sassy these days... I was worried about a month ago what I would do on this day. Not anymore! Wearing a red sweater to work and sending all my close friends an email with a cool Valentine animation... I'm just glad that my heart is mending... I told my personal trainer about someone I met last weekend at a play. She asked if I liked him, and I said, well, there where no arrows through my heart, but then again, that hurts! He is a nice man and I may never hear from him again, but it was calm and fun and we just talked... You never know, and I'm not settling! Happy Valentines Day!

C'mon over. I'll do something nice for ya. -tp it's sex, if you didn't know already.
LucreziaBorgia Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 My valentines day will be spent running around town looking for a dentist. I was eating a fortune cookie last night, and broke one of my back teeth in half.
Road Rage Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 LucreziaBorgia Just remember, whatever is handed to you, hand it back with twice the enthusiasm;)
RocketMan2 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 well I feel like a bag of sh*t, hows that? Maybe this is a good thing though, maybe its what I need. She isn't going to make a big win-me-back gesture today at all, why would she? She hasnt for either anniversiary which has passed since the breakup. Maybe ive been secretly holding out for today in the hope she would. Theres no more 'events' left to happen now, so I've got no excuse. God its been like...six weeks. SIX WEEKS. I spent every second of every day with this girl. I can't just let it go. I can pretend to myself that im not bothered simply because ive got so tired of acting bothered, but its all a front really. Im not even slightly over her. I miss her so freakin much. Why is my heart in control? I know she wasnt all that and theres so many reasons why i shouldnt take her back, but Id still do it in a heartbeat. Not that my heart does actually beat any more I might go out tonight, i dn. I don't know if i can handle seeing so many couples, but maybe its a good opportunity to meet someone new.... Who knows. Sad Rocket
sb129 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Not wanting to rain on anyones parade, but a friend of mine found out his dad died today. He hasn't seen him for two years, and now has to fly 18000 miles to attend the funeral. I am counting my blessings today...... As long as you have your health and people that love you (not necessarily SOs) you are a lucky person.
shockandawed Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Well said SB, My sincerest sympathies to your friend. Rocket, Chin up!!!!! I don't know if I would go out anywhere there are alot of couples at tonight. Did you rent Swingers yet? If not, take the earlier advice, get it and a bottle of your favorite liquor. You will enjoy it. It's either that or go over to TPs place, he is offering to do nice things for people on VD, LOL!!! You never answered about your nurse? My nurse sort of fell through thanks to my psycho ex texting me during a date. But when you least expect it, I have found myself somewhat smitten by an attractive young lady with a wicked sense of humor.....too soon for a date on VD, but Shocked finds himself wanting to work this one..A sort of awakening...........

Theres no more 'events' left to happen now, so I've got no excuse. Sad Rocket Rocket, that's EXACTLY how my mind has been too, as you probably read in my other thread on this forum about "stupid valentines day and romanticizing". I've been hoping that today (or tomorrow as tomorrow would be our 1 year anniversary) that he'd make some grand gesture. It won't happen. He did send me a "Happy Valentine's Day" email...to which i replied what's so happy about it lol This definitely sucks. Glad I got snowed/iced in today so I didn't have to go to work and watch the people get flowers. I'm working from home, instead. :-)
hurtbeyondwords Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Well here's to another Valentines day under my belt. Who knew that I would be back on this forum after a year. I hope everyone can find positives in their day. Im trying...
polywog Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 My first VD alone in 10 years:eek: ... but it hasn't been so bad, really. I'm painting away getting ready for a show at the museum, my gallery director is raving about my work and has offered to help pay for mailing out our cards, & wants to buy a piece, and best of all this morning my exbf's brother went on and on to me about what a fool my ex is to break up with me and how upset their whole family is. And I had an appt with my therapist this morn which was helpful. Still, I'd like tp to please pass me the chocolate and the scotch if there's any left.
magichands Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 It's already f*cking Thursday in Australia. Get over it.
guin_girl Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Well, I'm looking for the positives... so here goes: I work with all men... so I didn't have to see any flowers go by...my coworker is married, his wife went out of the country this week, so he's alone toomy bosses wife gave all of us chocolate valentine's... I don't have to share it with anyone... heheheI haven't too much of a morbid urge to "cyberstalk".I did receive a "happy valentine's day" text from one male, cool, he thought of me first thing in the morning.I also received a "happy valentine's day" text from my bar... not sure if that's good or bad... hehehehI saved money, I don't have to run around buying stuff and wonder if it's good enoughAnd best of all, this day will be over in 6 hours!!
shockandawed Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 GG, If I had your text number I would have texted you also. Since I don't, Happy Valentines Day!! Thats for everyone else as well!!

AriaIncognito Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I've got a few positives for today: 1.) Most of the stocks I own are UP :-) 2.) I got to sleep later because of an ice/snow storm which caused me to be able to work from home today 3.) I didn't have to go to work and see everyones flowers delivered for Vday (though I suppose some could come tomorrow huh so prob not out of the woods on that one) 4.) I got done 2 loads of laundry and have 1 load of dishes going in the dishwasher now. 5.) I've got dinner cooking in the kitchen 6.) i was more productive here working and doing all the above, than I would have been at work. So, that's that. Happy (we don't got any) Valentine's Day everybody.
magichands Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 PS- back to the unVD avatar, Now! Only three hours to go, mate. You'll survive.

We know what you are going through, putting so much time, effort, and energy into a relationship that doesn't go your way. Perhaps you might want to read the collective works of another young, sad man who went through the same EXACT thing as you. He was head over heels for a fun, exciting, attractive woman, and in the time they spent together, never thought life could get any better than it was, until it all came crashing down on him, and he wound up crying about it on a website for months until he realized he was way too good for her. Perhaps you've heard of him. His name is Teacher's Pet. Go read some of my oldest posts, I think you'll find some comfort in knowing you are hardly alone in this. And hey, come to NJ, we'll hit some clubs, and I'll introduce you to some nice girls who'll show you how they pee, and one fascinating lady with horrible bowel control. (See, now you have to find my old posts!) -tp delirious from a 17 hour work day yesterday
Author Teacher's Pet Posted February 15, 2007 Author Posted February 15, 2007 From one male Coper to another..... My story, in a nutshell.... http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t96226/ -tp here to help
Author Teacher's Pet Posted February 15, 2007 Author Posted February 15, 2007 Well, I survived Valentine's Day. Most of the girls in my office were wearing the customary red and acted all cheerful, spreading their love around the office. Well, something was spread, because today I'm sick (again)... I have a cold and can barely speak. Around noon my cell phone goes off.. it's the bar I work at, asking me to work the night shift. I did. The bar was dead until about 10:30pm (everyone was out at restaurants), but then we were packed, and yes, most of it were young couples around my age bracket (late 20's - mid 30's).... All so happy, horny, and (thanks to me) a little drunk. I got flirted with by an older English woman (50's?), who was quite attractive for her age. She had never been to the bar before, so when it was empty, we just chatted for almost 2 hours straight. Was kinda fun. A couple of the girls flirted a little with me, too, but they were friends of one of the other bartenders, and since we all basically know each other, it meant nothing, though it was a fun way to pass the evening. The last 2-3 hours of the shift were crazy (I work alone behind the bar), but a good time was had by all, and I made a sh**load of money. (To all you would-be bartenders... make friends with the other bartenders you work with, and they will bring their friends out when you work... friends of bartenders tip just as well than bartenders themselves - my tip bucket, which usually fills up with mainly 1's and 5's had quite a few 10's and 20's in it, but I think everyone realized I was the only person in the bar not getting laid that night!) Not such a bad outcome for working 11am - 4am between 2 jobs. (ugh!) I guess the one thing I didn't need to hear were the last few couples (some of the regulars) at the end of the night yapping. "C'mon, honey, let's go, some of us want to get laid tonight!" Or, when the girls are shooting pool, and the men come to the bar to get drinks "Dude, you have no idea how hard I'm gonna hit that tonight!" (Meanwhile, if he sent his hot little chickie to the bar, they would have paid 1/2 price for Ladies Night...duhhhh) Ahh, the pleasures of being a single bartender. And so, my story continues. -tp Ladies Night, every horny bartenders fantasy.
