No, this isn’t a virtual party. Unless you decide to start one. I’m okay with that. Although I think there’s already another one going on here, somewhere in MPSIMS.
This is for those of us who are alone on Valentine’s Day, for whatever reason. Maybe you don’t have a Valentine. Maybe you, like me, actually have a Valentine, but he’s hundreds of miles away. Maybe, like my friend Rhonda, your Valentine had to work and you just plain couldn’t do anything tonight.
Give a shout ifn’ you feel like it. 
No valentine here and no plans with my unattached friends either.
I’ve ordered myself a pizza and I’m going to put a movie in and generally relax before the first hell week of the semester begins tomorrow.
All alone here too.
I went out a bit earlier with the “man of the house” (my two-year old) and got a pizza and played some tunes on the jukebox. But he’s at a party now with my mom and sisters so it’s just me, the dog, and a bathtub full of bubbles that’s calling my name.
I did pretty good most of the day, had almost blocked out the valentines day blues. But as we were leaving the pizzeria earlier a group of couples came in, all my age and disgustingly attractive. They looked like they were straight out of a beer commercial. Grrrrr. Now I’m feeling a bit melancholy and wishing I had a honey to squeeze.
The wife is on the road until tonight, but we don’t observe greeting-card-company created holidays, so it ain’t no thang.
Alone here… man of the house isn’t even two months old.
Mainly I just want a guy to hug me, give me a nice kiss and wish me a happy v-day.
It’ll be nice to have dinner with my Dad and step-mom tonight, but still… I’d like just ONE valentine’s day where I have someone to hug and kiss me and have good sex with.
I’m one of those people who believe Valentine’s day was created by coporate heads for no other reasons than to take money from guillible people’s pockets. Even in the previous years when I was in a relationship, I made it clear that I didn’t celebrate Valentine’s day and if he got me a present or tried to make the day special, I’d chop his head off (either one works 
). So, I’ve never celebrated Valentine’s day, and I never will and I’m perfectly happy buying left over Valentine’s day candy at 75% off.
The man of my house spent the whole day with me at Lowe’s and Home Depot picking out kitchen cabinets to be put in next Saturday. My son is 15.
" Maybe you, like me, actually have a Valentine, but he’s hundreds of miles away. "
Persephone - Yes my husband is over a thousand miles away also. But we were getting a divorce when he went there and now he and I are going to make up when he comes back. To me, this is the happiest Valentine’s Day there is. Roses for everyone on the board. I have two rented chick flicks, a salad, and my kitty’s to keep me warm. And his voice in my ear when he calls to say goodnight.
Hi all. Yeah, I’m alone on Valentine’s Day. Haven’t left the house or spoken to another person, at least so far, yet today—and I’m not particularly bothered by it. A day spent alone is a good thing (even if it is VD), though a life spent alone is decidedly not.
When I was a kid, Valentine’s Day was fun, because we had a party at school and ate pink and white cupcakes and exchanged those silly little 30-to-a-box valentine cards, and nobody worried about having a sweetheart.
Then, things turned black. I spent way too much of my teens and twenties believing that love and romance and sex and valentines and all that stuff were for Other People, Not Me, no matter how much I might desperately want them. I didn’t have a girlfriend, had no clue how to get one, had no hope that anyone would ever want me. (How’s that for a self-fulfilling prophecy?) And Valentine’s Day was when my nose was rubbed in it, and the despair and bitterness reached their peak. I could really identify with Charlie Brown.
Until somehow I did have a relationship, that lasted several years, some of them quite happy, and several Valentine’s Days when I actually had something to celebrate, when I wasn’t one of the left-out, unattached, unloved ones.
Well, that’s over now, for reasons we need not go into here, but it has left me with some valentinesy crap (like a coffee mug that I still use) and hope for the future. So this year, I’m just taking it easy, a little relieved that I don’t have to shop or spend money or worry about finding something to go out and do for Valentine’s Day. But there will be plenty of Valentine’s Days in my future, and, with any luck, I won’t be spending all of them alone.
Just wait until next year! I’ll need two briefcases to hold all the valentines I’m going to get!
My girl and I got going first thing this morning, as we had lots of things planned. She’s been kinda cranky lately, and I knew I’d need to give her special attention today. Displaying her wild side, she requested that I let a stranger jump her outside the post office, in the parking lot, of all places. She had me lift her top, and got going for this fellow with no hesitation. She can be a slut, but I love her.
I bought a present designed just for her, and after we got back home, I could tell she was still feeling wild and crazy. “Let’s do it in the driveway,” she commanded, and since we’ve been together so long, I had no choice but to submit. She likes being on top, listening to me grunt and swear, calling her dirty names. I didn’t care if the neighbors watched, I was gonna do a job on my baby, and get it done right.
Replacing the alternator in your truck can sound sexy, depending on phrasing.Happy Valendopes Day, all! Mwah! 
I’m alone (well, without a SO) this Valentine’s Day - for the first time in something like 15 years. My husband and I separated a few weeks ago.
I’m having a great day…it snowed in Dallas last night, my kids are happy (their Dad took them out to play for many hours today), and tonight I’ll just watch TV or post random comments to the SDMB. Life is good, and somewhat peaceful.
22 years and haven’t had a date for Valentine’s yet. It’s 6:31 pm here and I’ve yet to even talk to anyone. And I don’t care.
Yep, I’m alone here too. It’s nice and quiet, I don’t have to fight over who gets the remote and no, you can’t have any of my popcorn!
Dude- I was totally gonna ask if I could do your girlfriend too before I realized you were talking about a truck.
I’m alone because I’m sleepy. I’m not horny enough to feel I need to add my hormones to the veritable flood coursing the streets already, even though I could actually get laid tonight.
hug kiss Happy Hallmark Holiday!
Can’t help with the sex, I’m afraid.
Yep.
Girlfriend is on the road back to Bismarck/Mandan tonight. Waitin’ for a call to let me know she got home okay.
Tripler
But I got her a nice present, even if it is sent a little later than I wanted.
I’m here with the cat, and I’m actually feeling pretty positive about the whole thing. Mom and my sister are coming over for Mom’s B-day tomorrow night, so I’m going to clean my apartment, followed by a nice, long soak in a hot bubble bath and maybe something girlie, like a face mask.
I think the good karma is going to catch up with me eventually. I seem to have broken my really, really bad luck at fixing people up; in fact, one of my Russian Dinner regulars just called for advice about another one of the regulars. They met at the dinner party at my place a couple of months ago, and he hadn’t been able to get her out of his mind. He and I then plotted a special Sunday night dinner pretty much for the express purpose of allowing him to ask for her phone number. It worked, and so far things for them are going swimmingly. So right after I hung up with him, I logged onto my online personals account and got a very cheery and upbeat message back from a guy I contacted yesterday. Cool!
My first Valentine’s Day where I’m not single, and I’m still not able to spend it with anyone. Then again, I’m not of the kind who gave much attention to the holiday… always interfered with people remembering my birthday the week before. ::sheepish grin:: Either way, it would be nice to have spent the night with him. Instead, I’m being charitable and taking a friend’s shift so he can go see his girlfriend, who lives about 3 hours away.
Alone here, but that isn’t new… I don’t mind really. I’m always asked if it isn’t lonely being single. The truth is, yes, sometimes. There are some nights that I come home and I wish there were someone here. But there are as many nights when I come home and it is nice to be alone. The number of nights for either are about equal.
No SO, no prospects. Almost went to Canada with my best fiend, but there was at least a two-hour wait to get across. Went to Chinese food instead, and I bought some basturma at a Russian market.
Watched The Forgotten Mermaid on VHS, and spent some time on my anti-Bush stickers.
I’m alone this ValDay, as usual… but this time I don’t care. Because I have a deskful of Doper Valentines next to me.
I’m working on my DVDs, listening to music, and surfing the Net. Tomorrow I’m going to go to the car show. Things are looking up.
