wlfpack81 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I'm working during the day so at least part of the time I'll be occupied. However, for that night I plan on getting a 12-pack and throwing them back while watching tv or something or listen to hard music. Link to comment
Massari Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 every V day I tell to myself... no I won't be single.. by the next one there would be misses beside me.. still no one.. so I really do not like V day.. if I had some one special .. hell yeah I would love it; dun get my wrong I am romantic I'll do crazy thing for someone I care a lot about.. but when you don't have someone.. what the heck are you suppose to do? watch other couples having a great time together Link to comment
WildChild Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 So my mom says "How do you feel about Valentine's day since it's your 25th anniversary? I told her I just don't give a s___. "That's good news!" she replied. I do love my mother. God you crack me up LOL Link to comment
Mjane Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I have to work in the eve. And I don't mind. It takes the pressure off anyone I'm dating to know that they don't have go all out for a hallmark holiday. Link to comment
lilsmc Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 v-day is no special occasion..i will probably spend that day at work blowing up about thousands of balloons, turning them into bouquetss ( i work at a party store) It's funny when you see those last minute desperate customers trying to buy SOMETHING for their girlfriends...asking you if we have anything in stock!!! its like...ummm, why didnt you come earlier!!!!!!! to me this valentines day will be just another crazy day!!!

corvidae Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 For the past few years, every Valentines day I have organised a Valentines Losers party, where all us singletons get together and have a party. It's usually pretty fun. Link to comment

It's usually pretty fun. A friend of mine worked at a radio station that threw the "Bitterness Ball" around Valentine's day. Listeners were invited to bring pics, letters, other mementos of their exes and toss them into a bonfire before going into the party "to meet their next ex." Link to comment
Mattie Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Haha. I'm well happy that I'm single. I can spend the money on myself instead. Link to comment

Kevin T Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Sounds like a lot of people care more about their money than about being in a relationship. I'm not sure if it's making a virtue out of necessity, bitterness (hey, I can relate there) or just plain avarice. Link to comment
volution Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Sounds like a lot of people care more about their money than about being in a relationship. I'm not sure if it's making a virtue out of necessity, bitterness (hey, I can relate there) or just plain avarice. I agree - it's sad the world in general has got like this. Most people seem to put Money/Career as #1 and Relationships #2 these days... Many men might put Relationships even lower, judging by how many women complain they don't pay them enough attention or spend enough time with them (eg: they are at sporting events, drinking with friends, golfing etc. far too much)... I'm glad to say that I'm one of those who still believes as love and relationship as being #1 no matter what.... Link to comment
Kevin T Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Whoa, I totally agree. But that comes with being an idealistic, romantic sap. lol (Least I'm not the only one left out there; especially among men! Good to know.) Link to comment
CarnelianButterfly Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'll take the chance to maybe get myself a cute heart pilllow or something girly thats not usually in stores. For the most part it so overly commercialized it doesn't seem important anyway. I'm actually sick of over hearing girls gabbing at each "Oh, so and so better do something special for me or I'll {insert vindictive sentiment} to him". Anymore I think its been so popularized that theres such an expectation of romance, that it has trivialized it. Link to comment
Dako Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 volution, I once put relationship before career. Now that I'm single, my paycheck mocks me for it. Read a personals ad. Career and income are often the biggest requirements women go for. Ironic, isn't it?. Women want love and attention, commitment and communication....from a guy with a solid career and good income. Link to comment
ocrob Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Dako, I think that is so funny. My ex wife hated my successful career and wanted me to quit. After being with the company for almost 7 years, I quit. I went to work for some internet start up companies and had a very rough couple of years. When she decided to divorce me, it was because I lacked ambition and she did not see me keeping a job. Can you F'n believe that? The funny thing about V-day is that it is the best day for a single guy to go out. There are many women out there looking for nice companionship. I may go out that night. lol Link to comment

Women want money, status and someone who can provide for her and her children. Men want the looks and youth. Link to comment
jflatt Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I am thinking that I will go out V-day night, maybe I can give some lucky single girl some companionship...lol Link to comment
Massari Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I am thinking that I will go out V-day night, maybe I can give some lucky single girl some companionship...lol I am up for that 100%.. but where exactly can a single guy go on V day to meet women? clubs (90% are drunk and probably looking around to get boned!!!) bars might be better.. and where else can you go? should you go out alone ? or with friends (single ones obviously ??

ScreenagerX Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I am dreading V-Day. I am 3 weeks into a separation from my wife at the moment. I still don't know whether I should try to do something or not as I seem to be getting slightly mixed signals now..................arghhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Ideally I'd like to work things out & get back together. But then I don't know if I should push the issue or not. Yet if I do nothing she will probably be upset that I don't care.............................. Link to comment
Blue Skittles Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I have mixed feelings about Vday. I've never really celebrated it, even when i did have a boyfriend. The guy I have been seeing for the past month, well he is busy with his family this week, and he invited me to come hang out but I wanted to give him some time with them, and next week my uncle is in town, so we really won't get to hang out until valentines weekend (which is what i'm calling it since it falls on MY weekend) and he has the same weekend as me, so it could either be good or bad. Either we are gonna get really distant these next to weeks and it will all fall apart, or we will miss each other so much it will be a great time. But I don't care either way. i never really cared much for celebrating it so , you know Link to comment
annie24 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Spader - maybe send her a bouquet of roses saying something like, "I know we are going through a rough patch, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and love you." Link to comment

Ahh funny, because I usually worry that 90% of the guys I meet are drunk and just want a girl who will put out for them. Lol. I suppose that's just the clubbing scene though. You might have better luck at a bar, like you said, though I do suggest bringing friends. If you go alone, it may look like you're only there for one purpose (to get laid, even if that's not your purpose), but if you're with friends, you may be more approachable because it looks like you're just out to have fun. I know this probably sounds a bit loser-ish, but I've heard of "singles night" at some bars on valentine's day that you can go to. There are also classier singles events on valentines day at places like hotels, convention centers, etc. for people seeking more serious relationships. Link to comment
Juha Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I am a romantic and always will be but I am a guarded romantic now... Ever since celebrating the day with an ex and having her dumping me that night .... I have not liked the day since...I still am romantic but I always have the worst in the back of my mind... This year I have no worry's as I am single again...Think I will just get drunk and not watch the happy couple's this year... Maybe one year I will find the right person........ Link to comment
Dreng3333 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I used to think just like most of you guys do. That V=day is an over-hyped hallmark holiday. But this year I am with someone I truly love, and I have found that my attitude towards the day has changed. i agree that you should do things for the person you love everyday, but I also think you should not let that person know it on that day too. I kind of look at it as an excuse to be overly-romantic with my girl. Link to comment

Thanks Annie. Good idea, that might be a go Link to comment
