Ninja'd. My exact feelings toward valentines day. Also, very few even celebrate it here in Norway.Mortai Gravesend said:

Lol, same. Well, exchange FiM with Adventure Time Valentines Eve special. It sometimes makes me feel like I wish I had a girlfriend or something, but not really much more so than the rest of the year. It's just a normal day. Oh, and it's also the anniversary of when Hanna is not a boy's name stop updating. So sadAidinthel said:

I may not be single but I might as well be, so I'll be crying into my pillow most of the day then probably getting asked out by one of the many guys who think my Facebook relationship status is a hoax and that I am in fact single, then feeling like an arsehole when I have to turn him down. Fun!
THAT my friend is the best plan for Valentine's day I have ever heard! But what will you be shooting them with? A water pistol, a nerf gun, and actual gun or are you going for irony by shooting them with Spidey's webs?RedBird said:
Playing the ME3 demo (though possibly not because of time zone differences). I've seen all the shit people have been peddling for Valentine's Day and concluded that I'm not missing out on much.
It's a Tuesday, so I'll be at work. I will probably dealing with the constant displays of affection by dating colleagues by inhaling large amounts of solvents. Ether all the way, baby!
Edit: whoa hang on, theres an ME3 demo out that day??!! I'll have to keep my senses a bit sharper then. Evening sorted!

While I don't begrudge any of the happy couples their day, (I've been one of them myself often enough) I'll just be having a normal day. Even in relationships I never saw the point really. I have no problems taking a girl out to dinner but paying twice as much as you usually would to sit in a really busy restaurant is really not that fun. Just do it a day or two later.
Also, I think this is relevant.

Probably playing games in which I shoot, burn, slash, stab, pillage, destroy and run over a selection of soft-squishy sprites. I will also be drinking and cursing my ex who left me for a Navy dropout in an attempt to absolve myself of responsibility for my own bitterness (which wont work, as usual)
Either that or I will pop open a few beers, watch some porn, do some drawing and play the games I alluded to earlier and do my best to ignore it.
Considering I was supposed to meet a girl a few nights ago but she cancelled with mere hours to go, I'm surprisingly calm. This is third time in only 2 months this has happened to me and the second time the excuse: "I got really drunk last night and so feel awful today" has been used. Ladies? Is this the 21st century equivalent of "Sorry, I'm washing my hair"?
On the whole I would say I am at my worst around this time of year as it's a sore point and it rams home the fact that I have been desperately unlucky with women over the years. OK so it's a cynical exploitation created to wring more dosh out of us sentimental types but it's also been a source of humiliation and stark reminder for me too.
On the flip-side, I have heard of one or two groups in the past that, on Valentines day, actively try and split couples up. That is absolutely bang out of order! OK band together and unite in your singleness if you want (and I am sure there is irony in there, somewhere) but don't ruin someone else's happiness because you're a jaded, loveless misanthrope. I'm all of that and more and I don't set out to break people up!
Anyway...

well if I weren't a romantically active person only single in title(as I haven't chosen to associate a title to any one of the women I'm dating yet... though it's about that time again) I would choose my favourite way to celebrate valentines day, going out to find a lonely woman and introduce myself to her, after all finding a woman is easiest on this day of all days due to the simple fact that a lot of relationships tend to end before this date in a year, and valentines is the lonliest day of the year for a lot of people, it's almost impossible not to end up getting at the very least a date on that day... Or if I'm feeling antisocial, GET DRUUUUUUNK! 2-3 40s of vodka, one night, no worries!
I'm in a relationship because it makes me happy. I wouldn't be properly happy when around her if I couldn't be close to her. I've already dated her once, but we were naive at the time and it failed pretty hard. I went through another relationship after that failed and that ended pretty well. I'm a very honest person. Like, bluntly honest. So I explained everything to my ex, how it was, how I felt, so we're still friends.The Cool Kid said:
My gf is not a vic secrets model. She has an underbite, but she has the most fantastic smile. I like to see her happy. I like to make her happy. It wouldn't matter how she looks. If you have ever thought someone to actually be beautiful you would understand. I tell her everything, if I don't like something I'll tell her. She doesn't shave her armpit hair? Don't care. She has the beginnings of a belly? Don't care. As long as she's not over or underweight, I don't care.
She is my best friend. And all a relationship takes is mutual understanding and some honesty. Not the other day she said that if I wanted to go "mess with" people she would be okay with that. I wouldn't, and I said that I would probably be uncomfortable if she did, but she can if she asks me because I can't hold her to anything. Seriously, it's shit like that that goes a long way. Complete honesty. Breakups are fairly simple if you have a mutual understanding. It's all about being able to talk about anything with your partner.
The thing that you don't seem to get is that relationships are great! And it doesn't matter if they fail, because you learn from them. It's okay to get hurt because you were loved. You can learn a lot when you spend an entire week not being separated from a person. Adding that up to 2 or 3 and you've learnt enough.
Maybe it's just me, but I can learn life stories in a day.
Having such a pessimistic view on things means you will never trust anyone.
As for the whole emotional support thing, I don't need it. It's easy to be single. I have plenty of friends and people to talk to. I can deal with my own problems. It's just more fun to hold someone close when either of you are having issues. That and getting drunk together is epic.
On Valentine's Day I'm going to a meeting with my new boss and some other people to talk about how my last two weeks have been (They love me). Then I'm going to draw a face on the side of my hand for giggles, go to my old school, ask a girl who is like a sister to me be my Valentine (whom I'm crushing on pretty hard), get rejected (I'm asking her cos I know I'll get rejected), feel a little down, get reminded of my ex and go home to listen to music which reminds me of her and cry.

Oh, also acquire KFC and game the rest of the time....

The only time it becomes a big deal is when people try to tell me it's a big deal.
Anyways, I'm still rather impressed with myself that I managed to spend Valentines Day last year with a girl. Now that I think back on it, it was one of the cute things where it was a disaster that ended up being fun.
She smelled nice. We got kicked out of a movie, drove to her friends house where I met her friends brother who just got out of jail, had a romantic evening at Ihop, went back to her friend's house and watched Red, went back to her house where I made out with her for the first time... Yikes, that was a year ago.... Well, she was still a *****.
What were we talking about? Oh, right. I don't know. Maybe I'll man up and talk to the girl I've thought was cute in my class. If that most likely blows up in my face, I'll probably go about my day as I normally would, only getting slightly annoyed at the inevitable girl on Facebook saying something along the lines of "hate", "alone", and "Valentine's Day".
