Why do the singles hate this holiday? They're under no obligation. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!! you want to feel looked down on, degraded, left out, insulted, alone, and all around in a bad mood just for some stupid holiday. Ya think maybe that might be an issue that goes a little beyond just February 14th? It's only a day. If you obsess about it, you'll only make yourself feel bad. I have good friends who actively bitch and moan about Valentine's Day every year and I know it comes directly from years in high school where girls would patrol the hallway with their ridiculous balloon bouquets and make everyone else feel bad about it. But you're supposed to get over it and grow up sometime.

I'm single too and I personally don't see a difference between Feb. 14 and Feb. 15. Somewhere in the world someone is getting some and I'm not. Big Deal.
I'm going to do what I do every Wednesday, get drunk and play poker

I actually like Valentines Day and I've been single for all 22 in my life Why? Just thinking about the sheer amount of cash those in relationships have to spent on the very definition of a Hallmark holiday always makes me laugh

But you're supposed to get over it and grow up sometime. So wait, now i can't complain about it? I graciously stayed out of this thread because I am trying to not obsess over it. But to say that it's easier on single people is total BS. If people stopped making a big deal about it, then maybe people wouldn't complain about it.

I'm still confused about the "easier on single people" thing, but I have no issue about buying stuff, so I just don't get that mentality anyway.
I just think it's a lot of complaining about nothing. On either end.

But you're supposed to get over it and grow up sometime. I had a great Valentine's Day ... last year. She cried because I was "so sweet," and she had never had anyone be that good to her before. That brought a tear to my eye, and the rest of our day was spent doing what people in love do. Of course, I'm still bitter about my break-up from 2 1/2 months ago, and as much as I respect your opinion, Kar, nothing anyone says is going to change that fact. So if I seem less-than-chipper, or less-than-sober, this coming Wednesday, I have an excuse. I f***in' loved her .... *sniff* .... now I have to get all emo. And it's not because of some high school bullshit, and it's not because someone made me feel bad years ago. It's because someone is making me feel bad right now, and she knows it, and she isn't doing a goddamn thing about it except rubbing it in. OK, sorry to go off on a rant. But that's what I'll be "obsessing over" this week. Didn't mean to fly off the handle, but ... yeah ..... I'll go now.

I hated Valentines day with a blinding white hot passion during my teens. The prancing high school celebrities got to me too. Now that I don't have to prove my social worth to anyone, this holiday is far easier to bare. Along with the fact that my birthday is a month away. I still get annoyed by all the holiday posturing, but things are better for me than they used to be.

And further more... *hugs* I was just relaying a story about my friends - married to EACH OTHER, incidentally - who insist on tormenting others because they were tormented before. They launch into big, spittle-flecked rants about how "you should treat each other nicely every day, not just one Hallmark Holiday" and then go on to cheat on each other and fight constantly 365.

Yo I hate Valentine's Day. Mostly because of what I think Karisma said (haven't read the entire 7 pages here, just skimming) because if you were single/ugly/unpopular where I went to high school on V.D., you were treated even more like a loser than usual. Now, I wasn't unpopular, I had loads of friends....but I WAS single and ugly, so.....in my case, 2 outta 3 WAS bad. Even embarassed the hell outta myself one year....junior or senior year of HS, I forget which. One of the girls in the group of friends I ate lunch with, I had a huge crush on for a few years. We'd gone to a couple movies and stuff together, but they "weren't dates" (Thats basically slang for "I still paid for everything, but it wasn't a date to her"). She was depressed for all of January because she hates Valentine's Day, and I'm wondering why because she was a pretty cute girl, and she made a point of saying how no one has ever gotten her one of THOSE STUPID ASS GIANT BALLOON DEALIES you were just talking about. So of course I save up $10 by not eating school lunch for a week (Come on, it was high school.) and buy her the most extravagant one available, hand wrote some stupid letter from me to be attatched to it where I told her I really liked her, was tired of seeing other guys treat her like crap (She had some real bad boyfriends) and I wanted to treat her like she deserved, etc etc bla bla bla, and arranged for it to be delivered to her during our lunch. So the thing comes RIGHT before the lunch period ends, she gets it and looks all happy, then sees who its from (me, duh) and looks dissapointed. She gets up all quick and goes back to class without saying a word (We usually took our time and walked all slow and talked together) but then right before she dissapeared she turned around and smiled at me, so I thought there was hope. So, naturally she tells me later that she didnt want to embarass me by saying anything in front of the other kids, and she appreciates it but "wants to stay friends because you're such a great friend and I cant afford to lose that, now let me keep going out with guys that put things in my drink at parties and take advantage of me sexually" It's all good, though, I win in the end. She got really fat after high school.

One thing i hated, there was this girl who i liked (she was hot & popular so there was "no chance in hell"). I told a mate about and HE WENT AND F***ING TOLD HER. Since then till i left ridicule (she went and told her mates).

/sigh........ just got dumped. I don't know if it's considered "dumped" when she comes back home after going to see numerous funerals for family members (body count: 8 in the last two months) and says she's just not in the right mindset for a relationship of any sort right now, and to not wait on her....
It just sucks, is all. We had plans to go away for a couple weeks, too.

I can't decide which one of these to give: Or What would you guys suggest? The First screams "It isn't you, it's me." The Second, "It's all your fault."
