I personally can't stand it. Even if I didn't have SA I'd still hate it. I find it too commercial plus if you loved someone you'd make an effort all year round not just because it's Valentine's day, Christmas etc
I would enjoy it if I had someone nice to spend it with. But, since I don't, it's just another reminder of my loneliness.

It seems a lot of us will be in that same boat. I hope someone remembers to bring snacks.I would enjoy it if I had someone nice to spend it with. But, since I don't, it's just another reminder of my loneliness.
I took a girl out to dinner on Valentine's Day one year, but the restaurant was too crowded and we couldn't get a table for a couple of hours. While we waited, she made me (yes, made me) take her to a jewelry store in the mall. "Buy me diamonds," she said. "It'll be fun," she said. So I did, and she was happy, but I still had to take her back to the restaurant for dinner.
I can't help but wonder how much more she would have enjoyed those sparkly little stones if they'd been a surprise gift on some random day of the year. An expression of love means so much more when it comes from the heart, spontaneously, and not at the command of a calendar or a TV commercial.
I'll be alone this year, again, as I have been for many years, and will likely be for many years to come. The day means nothing to me anymore. As ImNotMyIllness has already said, I would enjoy it if I had someone nice to spend it with. But, since I don't, it's just another reminder of my loneliness.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with that lady, GraybeardGhost. :sad:
I am a woman and even I think that is extremely rude to ask your partner to buy you diamonds! :thumbdown: Sorry you had someone treat you like that Graybeard.
Thank you, Blue and Something-Vague, but that happened so long ago that I've learned to laugh at both the absurdity of the situation and my own folly, and forgiven the cheek and the expense. The dinner was really good, as I recall, and her smile made up for all the rest.
Can you recall what you both had for dessert ? :bigsmile:
