Who is looking forward to Valentines Day

Well i sure as hell not looking forward to everyone being with someone on valentines day, frankly i think we should just scrap valentines entirely, whats the point, this day is just for people who rub in the fact that they are in a relationship, and basically rub in the fact that we are single, its a bunch of cat crap

Happy belated valentines day

not sure if I'll get one this year but its not the end of the world

im looking 4ward to it(no offence). I have a GF, but its a long distane relationship, and in fact i just came from the store and bought her a card, and im sending it tommorow, but hey dude, this day is a very beutiful day, and its not just for BF and GF, its also love for ur mom, brothers, sisters, grandparents, and if u dont have a GF, dont feel fucked up, ull find some1, and u should show ur love to those people that are important 2 ur life, oooohh and my GF doesnt know i have SA, that sucks !!!!

I know what you mean....all the Valentines cards and all the paraphernalia that goes with it are all out in the shops now....everytime I see them I just growl to myself and look away...for those who have gf/bf it must be very nice but for the lonesome it's not that great. I am considering sending myself a bunch of flowers this year or buying a box of chocolates

life can be beautiful even without a partner =)

I always find Valentine's Day depressing.

It makes me think about how in all my life I have never had a boyfriend and it seems like I'm the only person my age (33) in this situation and if anyone finds out they will think I'm a freak.

However I'm more bothered by the horrible commercialism of Valentine's day. Silly cards and inflated prices for red roses that don't smell. I don't think I'd buy into it if I was in a relationship.

There are many good aspects to my life, and I try and think about the good things and not dwell on the bad. But it is hard just having reminders everywhere.

Oh well, it will be over soon and there will be chocolate Easter eggs everywhere next (mmm, chocolate).

i think its nothing but a time for cardshops to make lots of money. i used to hate oit, but this year, it should be differnt.

oo yeh umm ok.

last year it was a hard time for me. the people i worked with were organising all this stuff for thier partners .. and it hurt for me. I felt like my sp was quite bad, i cant meet anyone cause im too anxious to socialise, so im just always alone and i dont have partner.. and couldnt really picture myself with someone, so i was sad.

this year is different .. cause im improving rapidly esp this past 1-2 months .. i KNOW for sure now that i can pick up chicks easily .. so its no longer a grave matter that i dont have a steady girlfriend ya know. I could go pick up another chick right now .. and i would be .. but i cant afford to go out tonight :lol:

anyway so i think this relates to another thread i replied to recently. There are times in our lives, were no matter how hard you look, you cant see positive .. well .. maybe you can .. but you dont "FEEL" it .. and you dont believe it. Thats how i was about this situation last year. I could not have foreseen then how confident about this situation i would be today .. so you gotta just keep pushing .. until you hit the right angle .. then go with it.

Valentine's day, late 90's. I was sitting in a motel room next to the freeway in the California Desert lamenting my lame truckdriving job but thinking about the woman 1100 miles (1800km?) away that I thought was interested in me.

Instead she was on a flight to Las Vegas with her boyfriend to get married. I found out. Met the guy, he was cool, and ended up helping him get a job where I worked. He got fired eventually for poor performance and just doing alot of reckless driving. They both fell into a meth problem, ended up unemployed and living apart or from relative to relative in attics, basements, and trailers (caravans).

They had physical confrontation issues, money issues, health issues, everything that goes along with a dysfunctional relationship.

I'd get calls every six months or so from her inviting me to lunch or to just hang out. I'd go see her, she'd relate a bunch of turmoil, hint around about needing several hundred dollars for a car payment, or money for a rent deposit or who knows what. Her 'husband' would be off tweaking somewhere, skinny, unwashed, with meth lesions all over his body. Great scene to say the least.

I quit giving her money and quit doing favors for her. Haven't seen her in years, don't know what happened to him. In fact the last time I saw her she was needing gas money to drive a pick-up, with expired tabs (license) to go buy cigarettes at a discount tribal smoke shop. Pathetic.

I also quit truckdriving, went to college (university) and finished my degree and doubled my salary.

I'll never forget that Valentine's Day, but only because I will use it as an inspiration to improve my situation further. No, no girfriend now, but it'll happen because I will work to make it happen.

Yes, this is the way to think. I see a lot of people jumping into relationships with bad people for all the wrong reasons, only to pay a high price. I am married, but for a long time did not date. I had my first boyfriend at 19, who is my husband now. My sisters do not have husbands or steady boyfriend's, a lot of guys just seem to want to play around and be from woman to woman. I told my sisters that they do not have to be with a man that doesn't respect them, just to be with someone. Every valentine's day I make sure I show my sisters how much I love them, to show them that someone always loves them. This valentine use it to tell all the people, or show all the people that you love that you love them. You do not have to buy cards or flowers, you can make your own cards and cut your own flowers from your garden if you want, or even get them a little nice thing from a 99 cent store. My sisters know that I love them and I think that it makes it easy for them to let go of the bad guys that come into their lives without feeling like they have to put up with abuse only to have a someone next to their side.

im well up for it, the student union will be a right laugh on valentines day lots of flir ting which is cool, my SA is ok sometimes and at the mo im feeling good and socialising more..... so bring it on.......

I used to view Valentines day as just some BS commercialised holiday, but now that I believe that I can get a girlfriend oneday I don't think that way anymore. I look forward to the day when I'll be able to celebrate Valentines day with MY girlfriend. It may be a few years but it will happen.
