Meh, 95% chance I'll be single then. Doesn't bother me much, as I've never had a girlfriend before anyways. *shrug*

Maybe someone will care enough to get me chocolates... Ha! :lol: Funny, right? Not gunna happen, unless I ask my older sister to buy me some chocolate. :roll:

G'luck to all of you who actually care a lot about being single on VD!

I'm glad to be single for that, because the last thing I need right now is some whiny b***h telling me I'm a bad person because I didn't get her flowers for an imaginary holiday.

It baffles the mind to imagine that you are single

Most women have an issue with being called a whiny b***h. At least in my experience

Quoting MidlifeAspie for Truth and for the ROFLing that I'm doing.

I will be. It will be like every other day I live like the weddings I go to or the date swaping party I went to last year.

I came here to say this:

You single folks should not let a corporate holiday invented by the greeting card and flower industry get you down. Being single on VD is no different than being single on any other day. And being single is always better than being in a bad relationship.

I have never understood how people buy into this corporate event. Yes, I know: "It's about showing your partner that you love and appreciate them." To me, receiving something for Valentine's Day is meaningless: The motivation for the gift is a commercial holiday. A gift of a Reese's Peanu Butter Cup on a random day of the year is far more meaningful than a romantic evening on Valentine's Day.

I have no boyfriend but I'm talking to numerous potentials. If ALL of them fail to wish me a Happy Valentines Day I will be mad.
I don't want all the chocolates and flowers and crap though, just "Happy Valentines Day".

To me it is the romantic thing. And I dont really view it as a mass-consumer thing. Sure there is mass consumer stuff going on, but it is still a romantic day. I love getting flowers.

But if you are single, the day means that you have to sort of take stock of it and console yourself about it. It is a day to face the fact that you are not sure what to do with your life, being single is just a side effect of that.

I feel the same way but I'm practicing Voluntary Simplicity so I'm less materialistic than most. I also hate shopping & have no clue what to get anyone unless they tell me directly & if they're going to have to to that; it would be easier for me just to give em the money instead. I rather be romantic with my partner in other ways when the mood suits & I do NOT want to be required to do it because it's a holiday. I HATE pressure

Well, I've never had the combination of having a girlfriend and it being Valentine's Day. After almost half a century I think that it would be nice, for a change.

I might not be single but if my bf's mother doesn't change her tune, I won't be able to celebrate it anyway. Parents suck. D:

Yep, another guy that will be alone on VD, signing in. My 28th year without any Valentines card of any kind.
