good_charlotte_freak2 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Is it wrong to feel hatred towards Valentines Day? Every year for me it's been the same. Watch everybody get a Valentine but me. Everyone gets cinnamen hearts, or candy, or flowers, or sumthing! But, I NEVER have. Not even from my family. Well, I got a card or two from a friend or two, but it's just not the same. I've never really liked valentines Day. I don't know why. But I wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day anyways!

DN Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Of course it's not wrong in the same way people who alone tend to avoid Christmas Day. But there will come a time, not so far away, when you will celebrate the day with those who do have partners, for you will have one yourself. You are going through a tough time right now, judging by your posts, but if you can stay as positive as you can, and not become embittered, you will come to a time when you will be happy.

hosswhispra Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I have never had a valentine myself or a boyfriend (except I am way older than you at 31...wow, that's pretty self-actualizing to admit that You know what I do? I treat myself well--I get a manicure, or I take myself out to dinner. I treat myself well...why not, right? I am sure you'll have your day when you have a valentine. In the meantime, do something special for yourself that day. Enjoy the day! hosswhispra Link to comment
good_charlotte_freak2 Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thanx guys. I'll do just that. treat myself! Link to comment
coollady1957 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thats the best thing to do, is to treat yourself to something special. The V - day can be distressing when you have no one to spend it with. Alot of us dont have a special some one at the moment. I have a few select plans for myself that day as well. Doing something for ourselves out of the ordinary can boost our moral. Link to comment
arwen Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Wow... you guys should just fly over to Holland. I know no people who actually celebrate V-day here, although the stores are filled with red hearts and teddybears... I myself have never worried about it (single or not)... So, feel free to visit my gray country! Link to comment
CarterJonas Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Nobody really celebrates v-day here in the UK either. Ok some cards and flowers are bought but otherwise it is just a normal working day! Link to comment

Serendipity1607307077 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Valentine's Day is just another hallmark holiday, so I never make a big issue of it. At school I never got sent a Valentine's Day anything! There were certain people at school who would tell me I was getting something from this boy I had a crush on... and then watch me get disappointed and laugh at me! I wouldn't take it seriously if I were you... there are more important things than worrying about if you are going to get a Valentine's card or flowers... it sounds good but really it's not worth the effort in the end!

AntiLove_SuperStar Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Just like to point out, some people who have partners and its Valentines Day...it sucks then ,too..a lot of pressure. I dislike it, even though I havnt been single for awhile. Im all for focussing on oneself! Link to comment
Raspberry Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Watch everybody get a Valentine but me. Everyone gets cinnamen hearts, or candy, or flowers, or sumthing! But, I NEVER have. Not even from my family. Well, I got a card or two from a friend or two, but it's just not the same.I've never received a card from anyone, period. Be thankful. Still, I suppose it might be worse if you're in the USA since it seems to get a lot of exposure over there. "Down here", I am rarely given any reminder of it, except for on message boards like eNotAlone! I suppose if I watched a lot of television I might get a bit stressed. Luckily I don't. Link to comment
nosoul Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 i know alot of people who dislike valentines day, myself i love it but, right now im starting not to because today sucked, i got what i wanted but not the person i wanted to spend it with.So ya its perfectly fine to hate valentines day, its not a real holiday any way its just another day for stores to make money off people. They needed something to fill in the cap between christmas and easter. or another holiday. Link to comment
