| Valentine's Day Posted: 2/7/2008 7:27:20 PM | Valentine's Day is especially hard for me for many reasons.
I usually end up working every year on Valentine's day. On one hand, that's ok, cause i don't have a so called 'valentine' to call my own. As a plus, I get to pick the the men and women (mostly men) who wait until the very last minute to get their significant other something for Valentine's Day.
One thing about working on Valentine's Day, and at least the week or two beforehand, is that I work at a jewelry counter. So, I am the one that helps some pick out the perfect piece of jewelry for their mates. Most of the time, I deal with it pretty well and can brush it off. Then I meet that one guy who has a heart of gold, obviously taken, but making me wish I had someone special....that's when it gets hard.
As for finding true love around Valentine's Day...I don't think I would want to. There is too much pressure on being in love and everything, that I would be afraid the feelings wouldn't be real. You know? I would feel like I was being caught up in the hype and commercialization of it all. Does that make sense?
More power to the ones who do find true love this time of year, but I doubt I'll be one to find it.
With all that said, I do hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day ...whether or not you have a significant other to spend it with.

Because their expectations of what constitutes a functional relationship will be backed about 5000 miles up Tradition's ass. | |

| Valentine's Day Posted: 2/7/2008 9:24:42 PM | | This has always been a real bad day for me because my brothers and sisters have alays hand that someone special and they always kinda rubbed it in my face that they had someone and i didn't, and trust me it hurts every time, so to keep it short I Hate Valentines day | |

alot of people break up on this day as well Ahw, Boy would Dat be the 'Epic *B I T C H SLAP* of 'looove'
*Thinking,racking brain - "hmmm, have i ever had a love end/die? on V.D.?" ummm, "Nope" - don't think so , would think i would recall such. *pffft* NM (No Matter)
V.D. aint even in My 'Top 3' of Favorite holidays.
~HALLOWEEN~ : #ONE (ya get to *Dress Up* , go frolicking through zee night, under zee Moon, get FREE CANDY!)
*BIRTHDAYS* : mine? blahhhk , not so much. My Loved Ones'? Big Big BIG DEELio!
April FOOLS Day : Used to be #1 - now ... resigned to 'observer'. Still *fun* though.
I can't even recall ONE ' V.D. ' , that even registers on 'My Scale'. Not 'Good'. Not 'Bad'.

| Valentine's Day Posted: 2/8/2008 12:28:58 AM | I have decided this year that Valentines Day is a good day to exercise a little social freedom. I'm going to send one to that special someone and a couple other someones who just happen to float my boat and damn what anyone else thinks. And I urge everyone else to do the same! JF | |

I honestly think if I stopped hating altogether, I would end up doing one of those Wicked Witch of the West "I'm melting" sequences, and dissolve into a puddle of lager and liquefied cynicism.
Also, V-day is for retards, and I stabbed your god in the the face with a pair of chopsticks. | |

| Valentine's Day Posted: 2/8/2008 9:32:11 PM | People seem to have abizarre view of what love is...... Its no tsomething you find or that is waiting for you... Its a state of mind a decision you make to love and to find someone else who understands and also is ready to love......
Love is something you choose to ....
The hardest part about love is finding people who actually understand what it is...
Ypu need to some tough work on yourself and find out what it is you could love about another person what needs do you expect to be met and most of all can you love another person inspite of their bad points can you give love when others are at their least loveable
can you endure
I dont know too many happy love songs or love stories, and yet people are still being child like and inmature looking for souls mates and true loves and some people actually are able to find someone who has the ability to love equally and it can feel like a match made in heaven, but we dont know how those stories end up or how long that state of being actually lasts.
In the last centuary mena nd women married and were obligated to simply stay together regardless of feeling and something magical happened quite often they actually learned to love each other, inspite of all else and that is love.......
In this selfish world people sit around waiting expecting that they are somehow entitled to find a saint who automatically loves everything about them and makes them happy with little or no effort and struggle.
Get to know yourself in depth honestly, and that means taking into acount everything your other partners have told you is wrong with you and take it seriously, you dont have to change it jsut accept that you a full of unlovable traits, and that another human being has to put up with alot from you and you will need to do the same.
Its time to be humble and be truthfull if you cant find love perhaps its becasue you cant give it
Now that is the problem, | |

| Valentine's Day Posted: 2/8/2008 10:41:07 PM | Had to revist this thread again just to see if there were any more positive comments other than my own. There are now a few more. I will not likely have a date for Valentine's Day and I'm also working anyways. But next year I will. In the meantime I will just send out a few cards - both real and virtual to a few people I know just because I feel like doing something that I really haven't done in ages. Like since grade school when we used to send out cards to classmates and it was no big deal back then. Happy Valentine's Day to all!

| Valentine's Day Posted: 2/8/2008 11:16:21 PM | | Ooooh! I have a new hot fattie neighbor who I hope is a bachelor. I washed my bathroom curtains and conveniently left them off this evening. I suspect if he's half the voyeur he seems to be, he'll have viewed my disrobing and catch the hint. Who doesn't have a hot Valentine in mind for this spring?!? Love, Titus | |

| Valentine's Day Posted: 2/8/2008 11:34:18 PM | Not me, Valentine's Day is the first step of a big change in my life as I will be spending the day moving to another city...away from a city that held so many memories of me and my ex fiancee (we got engaged there)...but she ran off without giving me any reasons.
Valentine's Day for me is a new step forward hopefully career-wise and relationship-wise (if I happen to meet someone there) | |

| Valentine's Day Posted: 2/9/2008 7:09:48 AM | | I agree with dnguyen4. I think people force the issue and try to set deadlines to find someone just so they can say they aren't alone on Valentine's day. When they do this they accept less than what they deserve in the end. I agree to do what I normally do and hope that special one finds me or I find him. Good things come to those who wait! | |

| Valentine's Day Posted: 2/9/2008 7:21:20 AM | In my opinion, it really is just another day. It's what I call a "Hallmark Holiday."
Not saying you shouldn't acknowledge it with a card or something small if you are dating, but to me it's really not important if I'm "with" someone on Valentine's Day or not. Have you ever tried to make/keep reservations on that day? It's a pain that I just avoid altogether.
If you find yourself lonely on this day, consider volunteering to help with the Valentine's Day parties at your local elementary school. It's fun, as well as fulfilling. Children can touch your heart in a way that no man ever could. I'm NOT saying I want to be single forever -- just saying that there are other ways to spend Valentine's or any other day that can bring you joy as well.
Good luck, and I hope you find what you're looking for. | |

| Valentine's Day Posted: 2/9/2008 7:22:53 AM | I dont want to settle either to just have someone on V day...I love the day and the specialness of it marking the day we honor the one we love,it could be anyone tho friends,little ones ,co-workers doesnt just have to be a love,love..But its just sad to buy yourself chocolates LOL if you do that might as well wait a day and get them half price LOL I sound really cheap...in past relationships I was very giving and it has always been very speical to me..I feel a little sad I dont have a special one this year!!but never say never Happy V Day everyone!! | |
