Yep, I'm going to say it....I absolutely despise this holiday.

Sorry all you happy couples that love it!

It's probably because I'm single every Valentine's Day.

Please tell me I am not the only one that cannot stand this holiday?

:smile: :heart:

    I've always been single so nothing special for Valentine's Day with me. I wouldn't say I despise it...it's kind of a painful reminder of being all alone though haha.

    I would probably hate it more if I didn't have kids. But I make them a nice breakfast and get them treats, etc. so I look forward to that part. And at least I only work with guys so I don't have to see my coworkers getting flowers and be all sad, lol.

    Awww, that's sweet. Someone in my office just got a dozen roses, teddy bear, chocolate and balloons delivered. Ugh! To me that's a little overboard. Even if I wasn't single, to me that's just too much.

    @Noelv1976‌ We're not getting chocolate hearts, that's the point :'(

    On 14 February 269 AD, Saint Valentine was sentenced to a three part execution of a beating, stoning, and finally decapitation.

    F*cker got off easy.

    Valentine's Day and Halloween are my absolute favorite days of the year. I loved Valentine's day even when I was single... don't need to have someone to have a good Valentine's Day... my friends and I used to have Friend-entines! Lolz. We'd get dressed up, go out and shower each other with chocolates and love. :)

    Definitely overboard! I'm a sucker for flowers though :sigh: you can keep all the other stuff.

    @Noelv1976‌ I'd rather use those calories on a few beers

    Honestly I'm glad I don't have to do the dog and pony show this year. I'm never a fan of forced "love" I much prefer to just do it throughout year.

    Spending valentine's day getting my dog's teeth cleaned, maybe getting her a fancy new toy to destroy with her newly cleaned teeth. On the 15th, stock up on cheap candy.

    Yeah, that would work for me if all of my friends weren't married. Seriously...every single one is married.

    It's probably because I'm single every Valentine's Day.

    you know what the difference between you and a calendar?

    a calendar has dates

    Single on V-Day was some of the best times I ever had when I was in college. Y'all just aren't doing it right.

    I'm married and still think it's dumb. We do cards, and maybe get a little discount candy the day after, but we don't ever go out the day of, and I hate it when he wastes money on cut flowers that are going to die soon anyway. We don't do gifts because if we need something we go get it. If you have to force romance one day out of the year there's probable a bigger issue with your relationship!

    My husband is a big proponent of not buying gifts or celebrating silly holidays symbolizing such proletariat things as romantic love. I feel terrible for all the other wives who get candy and flowers and cards are full of sappy drivel. Candy rots teeth, who really wants to clean up rose petals from the dining room table every year, and I hate it when people try to tell me I'm special with a card.

    I hate it. If you can't show me you love me all year, one day is not gonna' do it... especially since I eat chocolate EVERY DAY!!

    Why would anyone force romance, it's either there or it's not.

    There's nothing wrong with Valentines day, I love how people have said they embraced it even when single, good for you guys....much better than being bitter about the whole thing.

    When I was single, I actually renamed it Billie Holiday Holiday...I would sit around with some single girl friends and we would listen to Billie and drink gin out brown paper bags. lol.

    Ah, I'm not single, but I hate dumb people just like that one guy that won't date someone due to the different teams LOL.

    As I said, he could have made it a friendly couple's match and the winner gets to win whatever was decided just as friends do haha

    No woman will ever be satisfied on Valentines Day until men have chocolate penises that ejaculate money.
