Best post/username combo ever.
Gross.
I’m assuming you’re thinking along the same lines as me, and if so, thank you for saying it.
NO LIE! Quite fitting!

I barely remember Valentines day exists. I figure it’s a couple’s holiday; as a not-in-a-couple person it’s not something that applies to me.
Regarding Christmas, the think to worry about isn’t being single, it’s being alone. With sufficient friends and relations around everything’s fine.
Can’t remember the last time I wasn’t working/gave a damn. I’ve always bought my mom and my wife flowers for the day, but beyond that, eh, so what.
Hey, it’s Cheap Chocolate Friday. I’ll go to Target and buy a stack of boxes; should last me quite a while. Oh, wait, I’m also a diabetic. Damn.
I like your style!
Just another day.
Even when I was married, neither of us were interested in doing something ‘special’ that would involve going to overly crowded restaurants and paying too much for dinner.
I get depressed on Valentine’s because all the incessant advertising and crap reminds me that my spouse is dead.
But while he was still alive we didn’t actually celebrate it. Well, maybe we’d pop a movie in the DVD and watch it together, or do a little something special something for each other, but not the cards-chocolate-spend-money thing. But we didn’t just wait for Valtenine’s to do that, we’d do that from time to time for no reason at all (well, we loved each other, I suppose that’s a good enough reason).
Make sure you do some light warmups and stretching before you pat yourself on the back so much. You don’t want to pull something.
I’ve never particularly liked the day. It’s a bit of a burden quite frankly. Although I don’t mind an excuse to go to a nice restaurant. Regular humans can understand why being bombarded by stories of all those in love while you’re home eating ramen alone might be depressing. It has nothing to do with what’s written on a calendar or who wrote it there.
Sorry for your loss, that’s sad. But good on you for having done it right when you could.
Loved the Energy Drink to prepare to explain to mom why I’m still single.
Eh, Val’s day while single? No biggie, done that a whole buncha times. If you can get over the general social pressure to be in some sort of couplehood at any other time of the year, this day should make no difference/
??? The thread is literally titled “Being Single on Valentine’s day”. Not “Being in a different location from your HUSBAND on the actual day of Valentine’s day”.
Alone=Alone. But, I didn’t even really think about it like that. I was explaining how you can always celebrate V-day in other ways. Buy your dog a new bone, take your friend a Latte, call your Mom. In fact tomarrow I am delivering flowers to the graveyard and afterwards I’m reading to the English as second language kids at the elementary school. If you have to be alone think outside the box. You might enjoy yourself.
Nm, dbl post.
Doesn’t bother me a bit. When married or dating, it always seemed forced to me. Impromptu lowers or gifts to say “I love you” are SO much better! I also have to say I think it’s kind of silly for people to measure how much their partners love them by whether or not they remember Valentine’s Day or anniversaries.
I have never been in a romantic relationship on Valentine’s Day.
I never minded being single on it, we don’t bother with it but today being the 14th here caused me quite a lot of grief, there were so many flower bunches on my crowded train home my nose is still dripping hours later and I have had one hell of a headache.
