V-Day Blues

[gottabemore2life]

So while I was thinking about how awful it's going to be to actually be SINGLE on Valentine's Day... and starting to feel sorry for myself, I thought, ya know, it's just like any other day. It is any other day, just with a label. Who cares?

I have to work on Valentine's Day, and I am actually kinda glad. I won't be thinking about the fact that it is Valentine's Day that much.

But for those of you who have nothing better to do that night and don't want to be stuck home alone throwing a pity party, let's brainstorm some ideas for alternatives!!!

1. Go to the gym, shoot some hoops, or go on a run.
2. Go to a coffee shot and get your favorite cup of cappuccino and read your favorite book.
3. Go to the movies, yes, by yourself. Get a the biggest cup of soda and the biggest tub of popcorn you can buy!
4. Did anyone say "GROUP DATE!"
5. Take your mom out.

I was speaking with a guy just the other day about how Valentine's Day is a bunch of bologna any way... Why should you have to wait for a special day to tell someone you love them or that they are special to you?

It's a horrible ploy by corporate America to get more of our money.

DON'T GIVE IN!!!

teehee.

(Happy V-Day, my fellow singles)

Thanks for the encouragement. I guess us fellows tend to take Valentines Day better than the ladies. I've personally never really cared for it, although I really like the candy hearts.

I'll be working that night, filling Viagra prescriptions.

I have a sort of anti-valentine's day "date", if you could call it that. My friend is cooking me dinner, she's coming down from St. Catherine's! I am pretty excited about it! Furthermore, I am going to be at school for most of the day, so that will also help me to get my mind off of it!

HAAHahaHAHAAhaHAHA
Valentine's day for the grandparents...

Those are some creative ideas up there, gottabemore2life.

Now, that's if youre just a typical single person.
if you happen to be bitter/michevious,
there's a million anti-valentine's-day things you can do, like:

1) walk around wearing a black t-shirt with a symbol like this on it

have 20 or so made and pass them out to as many single people
around school as possible

2) if there's someone in your job or classes that you know is a jealous type and you know will get like 5 boquets of roses, order 6 for yourself and tell the florist to put different sender's names on each....jealousy will ensue.

3) write "secret admirer" notes and put them in random people's boxes

of course, this is all funny stuff, im not suggesting do any of this if it will get u in trouble or hurt someone's feelings.

 

[twebcheater]

Writing a ranty blog post about how messed up peoples ideas of love can be is a good thing to do

I dunno i guess im always single on valentines day up to this point, so i dont know what im missing anyway.

Last year, a little mexican place had a valentines day party called "Smack My (butt) And Call Me Single" where all singles got a free beer and a taco. It was pretty cool.

Hehe, I can't wait to see how you feel when you have a special guy to spend valentines day with. Suddenly it goes from "This day sucks! It's only a ploy by corporate America!" to "I love valentines day! teehee! teehee! "

lol, sorry I just couldn't help myself I'm just teasing you!

For me, I absolutely love valentines day!!! It's just another excuse to express my big heart and creativity. It's a special way to do the valentine day stereotypical romantic stuff, but in my own unique creative way!

Big Heart + Creative Mind = Happy Girl


I advise that anyone who doesn't have a special someone to do Valentines day with- they do valentines day with God. He is incredibly special and has a perfect spot in everyone's heart. Make it romantic too.
What a sweet God He is! It doesn't have to be big either. God isn't big on extravagance, He is a simple, humble Person.
You could buy a rose, don't tell Him about it, take it home, then surprise Him by giving it to Him and putting it up in your room for everyone to see!
Great idea though, He'd be so flattered and would love it! Just don't tell Him you're making secret surprise plans for Him! Don't want to ruin the surprise

Oh or an even better idea! (Jk, it's not better, it's worse! lol) if you're a girl, send me a valentine- and be creative. I love attention- but only if there's a lot of effort involved!!! I'm worth mucho effort! Go all or go home!!! lol, I'm jk, do the God thing don't pay attention to me please! Okay really I only say that to hint at the idea to a few girls here, especially from, *ahem*, cute girls like the OP.

did I make it way too obvious I would love a valentine surprise from her? How embarassing!
I am way too blunt and honest for my own good!

Gottabe - my sister and I used to be each other's Valentine dates if we both happened to be single on Valentine's day. We would get each other a card and a little gift and go out to dinner together.

I highly recommend doing this with a sister or good friend to all the single ladies - it was always lots of fun!

Haha I LOVE this mathematical equation. So true!

I LOVE this idea. Too bad my sister is married lol.

Maybe I will take my bro out though. He is always single. But, as I said, I am working (til 10PM), drat.

Brothers are a good option, too! Maybe you can go to lunch if you work late.

Hmm... I forgot. Well, I'm fully confident in my Spanish. I should be right about this one.

Thanks muchos dinero!!

Dear gottabemore2life,​

It is my regret to inform you that I have left the thread. I hope that some day we may meet again by circumstance, perhaps another time, another thread. I wish you the best of luck until we meet again. I am sure fate will have us cross paths in this big vast world of ours.​

Wow. I've heard of people having V-day blues, but it's not even until next week.

Anyway, the best way to avoid them if you're not with friends is to not turn on the TV.

 

[deliciousBass]

I'm quite pathetic in the sense that if I feel bad, I go buy stuff. So I can already see this Valentines Day being a new guitar or PS3 day.

Hmm... I have class that night. Maybe I will be distracted and forget all about that ebil day hehe.

 

[Luther073082]

I've been single for about every V-day but one in my entire life. And it still depresses me.
