    Sort of lol...a guy friend and I are going to see the first Star Wars movie in theaters on Valentine's Day, and then we are going to watch the rest of the series after that at his place (I'm assuming)...Star Wars marathon!! So I guess it's not an alone alone thing but it's not a lovey dovey day either haha. Star Wars > Guys

    I love Star Wars!! You're a lucky lady! ;D

    Honestly, no need to be sad. Its really just another day. Why not celebrate how great you are!!! Make yourself an awesome meal, grab a movie or go get yourself a massage! Do something for yourself.

    I remember in University, all my girl friends one year had a Single girls night of pizza and sex and the city. I was uninvited because I had started dating someone (although was long distance for the month of Feb), and the next year, I got uninvited AGAIN because I was single and they were not. lol.

    I'm single again this year, but now is NOT the time to meet someone new! The last thing I want is some guy who's needy and lonely because it's Valentine's day and he's single! lol

    I'm independent and need someone who is as well. I've never understood the people who go from relationship to relationship with no time alone in between. Jeez, I sound so bland, when really I'm the most romantic person ever (and I have the books to prove it!) lol.

    I don't understand why everyone gets so worried over being alone on a silly holiday. It is just a day.

    Just a holiday, but yep alone. Last year I had my wisdom teeth pulled on Vday and this year I get to spend 9 hours travelling home for Spring break, going to surprise my best friend when I get there. Hopefully her and her man aren't too pissed that I'm interrupting her night :P

    I'm not sure if I'll be alone in the 15th, I'm with my family, and I'm holding onto one guy and hogging him myself. :)

    I am still freakin' married (separated) and I will be spending the day alone! Well, with my 6 year old son.... so not alone, but not with my SO.

    It's just another day, screw it. Even when in a relationship I don't celebrate valentines day, because it is something that is "supposed" to happen. If a guy does something nice for you on valentines day it doesn't even count. He's just doing it because he has to. Long story short yes I am bitter and alone, but even if I wasn't, valentines is just another day.

    I'll be on my own...but we're doing Valentine's early... it's more important because it is my saint day so has a special bearing with me! :)

    We like to do it as we don't see each other much due to our jobs and it's another "excuse" to splash out with the cash a bit and do something fancy, despite making our liaisons special anyway!

    No, you shouldn't have to have an excuse, but it is nice, kind of sweet and fun! And lets face it we all like it really, those that genuinely don't are probably trying to convince themselves they don't care because they've noone to spend it with or are heartless, or cheapskates!

    When I was younger and didn't have a bf, I'd still make an effort for Valentine's day by sending my sisters, brothers and parents a card, setting the breakfast table extra special and leave them all a flower and chocolate and generally make a fuss! It helps add an extra special day in the year where we all make an effort and remind each other as a family we do care, especially when sometimes we were like ships passing in the night with our busy lives and schedules.

    I'm going to be alone only because my hubby is in Denver.

    My son used to call Valentine's Day 'single awareness day'. Personally, I think too much fuss is made about it.

    I don't think this is the case for all men... my OH genuinely gets excited about it... It's an excuse for us to do all the cheesy coupley stuff and get away with it. We secretly enjoy that...the rest of the time I try to ask for sensible presents and be demure and sophisticated/classy... we like the little bit of tackiness and sweet reminder of a little romantic valentine's surprise!

    I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, whether I'm alone or not. I don't like being manipulated into celebrating by Hallmark.

    It's not made up although origins of Which St Valentine it refers to is mixed up which is why catholic church dont recognise it, however russian orthodox too and like a number of events, it became a "tradition" as opposed to religious event as a result of Chaucer... and its a lovely sweet thing to do. Some people take it to extremes and lay far too much emphasis on it and their relationship.

    But as a fun day where we all share our love for one another, bf/gf/wife/husband and even brother/sister/parent... it's all good and lovely! :)
