    "Valentines Day" does not enhance nor does it increase the virility of my love-making or hot monkey sex! My love making is potent throughout the entire year.

    I don't care for Valentine's Day. I'm 33 and single and loving it. Valentines day, to me, is just a day thought up by the greeting card industry to boost sales after christmas. I agree with a lot of other people. I'd much rather get a gift or flowers "just because" not because it's a expected.

    LADIES LADIES! We're still young! Don't let the commercialism get you down!

    True it would be nice to get a bouquet of flowers delivered to the office but it's just another day.

    If you're single then enjoy the freedom you have and the money you'll save on valentines day, and if you're taken then concentrate more attention to your anniversaries or more sentimental things instead of materialism or "status" of being in a relationship.

    I'll be your valentine!

    *sigh*

    Yet another V-Day and I'm single. Every, and I mean EVERY, relationship I've had in the past always ended before Valentines Day. The timing was always great.

    I'm 28 but I'm not in a rush to find a guy. If it happens, cool. If not, oh well. I just don't want to settle for any old guy b/c of my age and whatnot.

    It mostly leaves me feeling lonely.

    I am 34 so really wanting that side of my life to start. I ended a 4 year relationship a year and a half ago and Valentines day was never a big deal with us before, but now it just seems to highlight that is the missing piece for me right now.

    I think I've got everyone beat here. I've been single for almost 15 years. That is about half of my life - I will be 31 in March and the last time I had a boyfriend was at age 16. Does that make me sad? Sometimes. Not today, though.

    Is there something wrong with me? I used to think so. Who do you know has been single for that long, especially during those particular years of their lives? I never planned it that way, that's for sure. I have met guys here and there along the way and have gone on a few dates, but no relationships ever blossomed from them. They just weren't the right ones for me, or vice versa.

    I know I am a good catch, I just need to find the right person. Some people are lucky enough to find that person earlier in life; others have to wait. I will say, though, that I'd rather be alone than with the wrong person.

    QUOTE:
    "I am 23 and literally ALWAYS single...my coworker told me if i don't date soon ill never get married because i'm too used to being alone, and my best guy friend told me in a nut shell that because i'm too quick amrt and witted(to counter-balance their lame pick up lines), independent and not needy that ill never have a boyfriend....oh and that i look dumb because I have blonde hair, blue eyes and big boobs, so they are in shock when smart words come out of my mouth(wth?)...both are oh-so-grand to hear one week before valentines day. Yes, i'm ok being alone, but i don't want to be alone forever, why would being smart and independent be a bad thing??? What guy wouldn't want that? And shouldn't you find someone that compliments you instead of completes you? Maybe thats why the ivorce rate is so high in America because everyone is trying to find someone to make them complete instead of being complete on their own? Oh wel...happy vday everyone lol"

    [/quote]




    I'm the same age as you but I KNOW that in a few years they're gonna love the fact that you're smart and funny!
    They just need another couple of years to date dumb girls and realize there is nothing stimulating in the conversation. this is not a fantasy. it will happen, i promise. so in the meantime if you dont want to be excluded then go to dinner with one of your good friends! and most importantly enjoy the ride!!

    Hey, it isn't that great for us non-single people either...

    My boyfriend texted me "Happy VD! Will you be my valentine and/or ride to work?"

    So romantic.....

    VD?!?!? That's not good. You should get tested. *wink*

    I'm not resenting it this year, however in the past I did. Whats worse than having a guy (now ex) who refuses to do anything for Valentines day. Even worse at the time I worked at a jewelry store. I'm married now.. but back when my ex wouldn't celebrate and all my customers and friends want to know what I got-- I would have rather been single and known I wasn't getting anything from a "signifcant other" than be with someone hoping and being let down.

    Gotta add, I enjoy buying gifts from my husband and mom. So this just gives me an excuse to spend a little extra on them.

    I'm not single this Valentines day but I have been, planty of times. But I've always been a huge fan of Valentine's day because I NEVER let it revolve around a man, when I have a boyfriend, I'm not concerned with what he is or isn't doing for me and when I don't have one, it doesn't matter. My family always celebrated Vday together, it was a big holiday in my house and among my friends so as an adult I'm always confused when people are so sad or angry on this day. I always associated vday with spending time with the ones you love and making sure you all know how much you appreciate each other. No matter the man I may or may not have in my life, I focus on making vday as great of a day for myself and all of my loved ones as possible. Love isn't about my boyfriend spending tons of money buying me flowers I dont want or candy I dont need, we should always be showing each other how much we care-there's no right or formulaic way to celebrate it. My bf loves valentines day-he's a sappy romantic and I love it because we do things we don't normally do and we set aside more time for each other, which is always a struggle for us. I also love to celebrate with my friends and family and splurge on gifts I think they would enjoy. I hope everyone finds something to enjoy about Valentines day, regardless of relationship status.

    Simple thought: I think, therefore I am ..... single. Don't judge me by my Avatar pic..... that's meant to be a joke.

    :flowerforyou: Happy Valentine's Day anyway! :flowerforyou:

    I am not single (never have been single for very long), but we've never made a big deal about Valentine's Day. We do stuff for each other throughout the year, so there isn't any pressure to buy overpriced flowers or race out to dinner.

    So I'm not really into the fuss of Valentine's Day any more than a lot of single people are out there.

    :sad: indeed! I know the feeling--all my friends found boys, but between really not being that impressed and not being pretty enough for the ones I did like (and, being painfully shy), I wound up being someone's backup for prom. Of course, his first choice said yes. Meh.

    I live in Ohio and we not only celebrate St Valentines Day but also Sweetest Day in October. I always said Sweetest Day was a third less serious than St Valentines Day and more palatable for the guys.

    I call all my friends and family and wish them a Happy Valentines Day, or they call me, and that's about all I've ever done for February 14th... including the 17 yrs I was married. When you are romantic 365 days of the year you don't need a special day to show someone you care.
