    there's a lot of money to be made on Val day and that not having someone on Val day could be earth shattering for some but not for many

    agreed, i call all family and friends up to keep in touch but not ever did i "feel" lonely on val day

    i don't know, maybe i didn't grow up in an atmosphere that val day is super important, that the entire day would not be entirely centered around val day

    I got divorced a little over a year ago and I still feel lonely.

    I don't need V day to remind me to call my loved ones, but that's just me.

    ^This.

    Besides Valentine's Day has more meaning to me because it's my dog's birthday.

    I don't, actually. If you want to buy yourself some chocolates and flowers, take yourself out to dinner at a fancy restaurant, light some candles and soak in a hot tub, that's your choice.

    Doesn't mean I can't ask, why a person would want to.


    Sorry to hear that, but....

    I'm taking my nephew to see Spongebob (while his daddy takes his girlfriend to the movie too).

    Ok so the posts are contradictory with each other, that's because I need to convince myself that I can be happy without that special someone, so that whole sundae thing is just to mask how lonely I really feel inside.

    Everyday is Valentine's Day for my hand. It always gets to eat, gets nice lotions every day, and is always appreciated.

    Gotta agree with this. And if you're single on Valentine's day, think of it this way: either you save a few bucks on frivolous gifts or you get candy all to yourself instead of having to share.

    I love being single. Means that I'm not wasting time in a loveless relationship because I know "the right one" is still out there. I just have to find him/her/it/whateverpronounappliestoturtles....

    I'm married and I can tell you Valentine's Day is stupid. I shouldn't need a day for my loved one to give me a card and chocolate's to show appreciation. I think it should be done through out the year. If I want a box of Russell Stover's or Whitmans, I'll pick them up at the grocery store, the grocery store also sells flowers year round (without the mark up of valentine's day).

    For everyone else https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXH3Gnvxpw0

    Who? You? Are you coming onto me? I'm flattered but it's a bit strong. Really, I mean it's nice but you're going too fast for me. You know what I think we should slow down. Okay really let's you know, let's just maybe put a pause on it I mean, we should really just, okay, no, it's not working, I'm sorry, I'd like to say it's not you it's me but it really is you.

    It's not easy being a giant talking cat. Do you know how much God-damned prejudice there is against me? And no matter how many dead things I bring people or how many times I stick my ass in their face it doesn't lessen the ire. It's not my fault my pee smell doesn't come out!

    What the fuck was this thread about? Oh right, lonely saps feeling bad on one of the most commercial and ironically heartless holidays ever because America's corperations said they should. I just hang out with my friends who are also not spoken for, and bing bang bang-again, we're not lonely anymore! Perfect system. Better than the inumeres... inummerab... countless years I spent getting cards 'n' shit for girls I was interested in only to be embarrassed with the cold, icy-hot hand of rejection and also their arms.

    My plan for V-day:



    What's the point in plans? They ruin any hope of excitement, though I'll prob'ly just steal someone else's chocolates,
