Wow I've had my best faux-Valentines yet - five faux-Valentines messages from fellow singles and tonight, a comedy show ie. "Lonely Hearts Club". I can't wait!

I'm going out to get drunk with friends and strangers off the internet.

I was all depressed after coming home from work and sitting here all alone . But just to know that the Hoff still loves me just brightened my day .
Thankyou.

[Doppelganger]

[princess_kitti]

maaaan im usually such an upbeat chirpy bubbly person .... but even i was brought down a few pegs yesterday

especially when people kept asking me what i got and i answered nothing and then they were genuinely surprised .... im like .... ok there is soooo a spanner in the works here

valentine's day made me what i hate most - bitter and twisted .... fortunately it was only a 24hour bug haha

 

[OhSoBec]

I ended up having a brilliant night.

Lots of drinks with not so close friends.

 

[shorza]

I love the Hoff almost as much as the Germans.

 

[lady grey]

^^ haha that makes me dizzy

as for valentines day i think its best if we just just forget about the one day a year we all get it shoved in our faces we are not part of a lovey dovey realtionship & and move on

 

[ButrosButros_Grantos]

Bah, Valentine's Day is made to feel people bad. Is was invented to make people think the can be original and romantic by asking their so to marry them on said day, some people decide to do this via newspaper ads...

I cannot think of anything less personal than putting an ad for your so in the personals it is foolish and people that do this deserve to be shot.

Seriously though, it's one day of the year, think about it, how does it matter to be single one day if you're single for the other 364?

That being said I had a lovely valentines day.

I hope you don't mind me quoting your frown post here MP:

Ok

The deal about hating Valentine's Day is not because if I was in a relationship (god forbid) that I would choose to celebrate the day with lavish gifts, or make it some huge gala event, more that it is all about the choice.

If you're in any way in a partnership with another person, you have the CHOICE whether to celebrate it, and yes, a lot of it is a load of schmaltz, schmuck and any other commonly used yiddish derivative.

When you're single, you feel as if every petal of every flower of every bunch that is delivered to every person is slicing through your heart with razor sharp edges. Because you know that for every well-meaning (and yes it is appreciated ) dismissal of the day by someone in a relationship, that implies that they don't need to celebrate - because they have that every day.

"hastily scrawled love-note on office paper"....NEWSFLASH...that is about a million times more romantic than anything that has happened to me in oh, probably near on 2 years. The last time i took a guy home he vomited in my bed and that about sums up my lovelife. Vomit worthy.

So, to sum up, it's that ability to disregard days of love like Valentine's day that stings; that implication that you don't even NEED a special day, while some of us in single land would die of coronary arrest if romance reared its ugly head on one day alone.

And I normally don't mind being single .

Apologies, this should probably be in the rants thread or single thread, but it's appropriate for here too I guess.

I guess that was what I was trying to get at with my last discussion topic about romance in movies. It's not all the time, but just occasionally, popular culture, like valentines day, serves as a stark reminder about what I'm missing out on by not being in a relationship. As I've said before, mostly I'm quite happy with my single status. But every now and then, I feel a little pang of longing. I mean if someone as dorky as Napoleon Dynamite can get the girl, maybe, just maybe there is something actually wrong with me that I can't get it right

Nevertheless, I had a nice enough day yesterday. Sometimes it's enough just to know that your friends love you.

^ I know exactly what you mean. I generally love being single but yesterday it got me down
