I saw VD and relationship together and thought something completely different ::

Ahahaha, I always call Valentine's Day 'VD,' because chances are, someone's probably contracting VD on that day. ::

 

[polishgirl]

Unaffected. And I feel really embarrassed that day, it is only that day that people see how truly lonely I am.

Hrmm....

My wife claims not to be affected, she says with us every day is v-day.....

It actually makes sense... all these years and I couldnt work it out for myself.

Valentine's has never been a different day for me. I never had a date, but I don't get bitter or something, I just don't care.
If I ever had a partner I'd show her how much I love her every single day, not only when big companies tell me it's the best time to buy a gift

^That's really sweet MrJones

Aletheia- I saw that earlier, it's cute. ::

Anyway I'm a little upset today, I had plans but have to work instead. :: I'll get over it soon, just need to reschedule I guess.

The holiday seems to upset people.
...Single people.
I've seen a couple of my single internet/facebook friends posting whiney stuff about being single today.
I don't get it.
....All this unneeded pressure that people put on themselves.

And I see 2 actual friends who just last year got their first girlfriends(in their 30's) being all snobby and poking fun at single people.

Valentines day:
The designated day to look down at being single(well....more than usual)
As if it were some horrible disease.

....I do like that heart shaped candy though.


Anyway..
Happy valentines day,my socially awkward friends.




....Ladies

I don't think you'd have posted this thread had you not felt affected by this particular day.

I didn't think about it all day though.

 

[AsTimeBurns]

I usually forget about it until the media rams it down my throat.

 

[Griffin]

Single for my whole life. It passes me by so much I don't even feel anything when I see happy couples go out.

^thats exactly right.::


I never did anything for Valentines day even during the time I was with someone. The blatant consumerism surrounding the day drowns out any significance of what it was meant to represent when it originally began imo.

Why is this thread on the list of "Hot Topics"?

 

[Predacon]

I don't think most people are bothered by it. I remember seeing a survey on some site and something like at least 60 - 70 percent said they weren't bothering on doing anything and this was with a few thousand votes.
