    I have a partner but no Valentine.

    I don't do Valentine's Day, I think it's bull****, just a good way of passing off generic V-day presents (chocolates, bubbly, red roses *vomit*) as romance and making money out of it.

    Not to be all judgemental of those who like it by any means, and sorry if it sounds that way, I just never GOT it. I'm not a huge chocolate person, roses aren't my favourite, I'm too old for teddies and ****...
    If my OH wants to treat me, daffodils and some good beer any other day, over red roses on Valentine's.

    Same here, I never got a gift or a card when I was married...I'm not a materialistic person but some sign that they notice would be nice.

    No Valentine's. :( I broke up w/ my last boyfriend about 3 months ago, but I have an ex boyfriend who I have been spending my V-days with for a couple of years (even when we werent together)

    Yesterday he told me he's gay. :noway: :grumble: :sad: :frown:

    Yeah. Too many feelings...

    Wow...
    I was often second guessing my choice of calling it quits with my ex just so I'd have a Valentine's day (get dressed up, romanced etc lol) but couldn't do it lol Sounds selfish but not the greatest guy I think I at least deserved that

    No date this year but im ok with that!! My parents will be 50 yrs together this year in october and they havent had a decent valentines date....EVER!! so instead I am planning a great day for them going the whole nine with couples massage, private dinner and a show!! This is more rewarding to me than any other year :) I love them and I pray one day I can be as lucky to find someone to spend the rest of my years and love like they have!!

    That is an amazing thing you're doing for your parents! I hope they have a great time!

    I find Valentine's Day overrated, it's too planned and I hate how it can make people feel down if they haven't got someone. Spontaneous romance any other day is much better.

    I've got two dates that day, Cardio training in the morning and Strength training that evening. Then after all the huffing and puffing is over, I'll toast them both with a protein shake.



    Now thats more like it lolz

    Ladies, Valentines day is all about the mystery and excitement of what may be. We still have 6 whole days for Mr. Right to make an appearance. Who knows how many chance encounters of the life changing kind or secret admirers waiting in the wings there may be! :wink:


    Not sure why the quote didn't stay a "quote" oops. While I like the positive attitude of your post...the reality is life is not like the movies... if I met a guy in the next 6 days and they got all fancy on me for V-Day...I'd be weirded out, cuz we just met. :laugh: Just sayin...

    I do have someone in mind that I like, but at the moment we are just friends who've hung out a few times...not expecting to even see them on V-Day.

    So I'm still apparently going to the gym. Which would be better for me than dinner and chocolates :bigsmile:

    I see your point, to each her own. Personally I find life much more interesting and rewarding if lived as in the movies. Why not try it and see! :happy: Of course sometimes reality bites - bad timing, bad luck, the filler before the next Scene ..... Seriously, she who dares wins. Nothing good comes of low expectations when they are satisfied. I don't have a minimum allowable timescale for getting fancy on Mr. Right either. Yes that's got me in trouble before :blushing:

    I got the best Valentine's Day present ever a few years ago.....a DIVORCE! Yep in divorce court on V day. Not sure that the farce of a marriage could have ended any more perfectly. This year I will be celebrating with my dogs, at least they love me unconditionally.

    I've bought myself flowers for years - I enjoy flowers. Even when I was married, I had to buy my own. I don't miss him a bit, but I'd miss the flowers, so I keep buying them, lol.

    Great idea, but there so pricey on V day!!! Maybe I will get them the week later!!!

    No Valentine, but I made it a point to send valentine's to friends and family this year. It felt nice to say I love you to my special people. My tradition (because normally I am single for this day): eat some really good chocolate, make myself a nice dinner and watch a comedy or see some live theatre. This year I will be doing yoga after my Tuesday night spin class :heart:

    as a guy I do not get a Valentine's day. Society has made it so this is a day for women. No I am not being a male chauvinist but it truly is a woman's holiday. I would much rather have a nice birthday, or Christmas, or just a simple I love you.

    Vibrating gifts=the best gifts...and they are the gifts that keep on giving. See what I did there? :bigsmile: :blushing:

    Every woman should have a date with BOB from time to time - single or married :wink:

    I have seven or eight during the day, and all they're giving me is dirty diapers and slobbery kisses. I'll take what I can get.

    Nope no Valentine for me and hadn't been for years. It's all good though. I will be spending the day kicking butt trying to lose weight, plus no date means more alone time to work on myself. I do miss romance though, but alas no romance, no drama either :) I will go out and buy myself something nice the day after (a treadmill) exactly what I want no chocolates :)

    February 14th should be like the 13th floor in elevators... just skipped as if it weren't there.

    Was that my outside voice? Sorry. To answer your question.... I do not have a valentine. :)

    As I recently described Valentines Day to a new friend of mine, I call it “Singles Awareness Day.” So, yes I am in the same boat as you and have been that way for a bit now.

    There’s nothing inherently wrong with Valentines Day, made up holiday that it is, but it is the day that rubs your nose in it. Ever see a couple in each others’ arms and completely lost in each other? That lonely and slightly envious pang you get when you see them and you’re single lasts about 24-48 hours, and that couple seems to be on every corner.

    That being said, I do call upon my brothers that do have a Valentine to put some effort into it and make her feel special for God’s sake. And keep it the whole year, the way ****ens (who just turned 200 BTW) said we should about Christmas.
