Single? What Are You Doing for V-Day?
Valentine's Day sucks when you're single. Don't try to deny it. Everyone else around you is happy and in love and you're the one that has to pretend everything is okay and that you actually really DO like being alone! For some people, this might not be the case. Some people choose to be single and ARE happy with their lives... for others (namely me) who are going through a breakup/heartache, Valentine's Day is just a horrible stab of a reminder that so many other people around you are in love.
I'm already tired of seeing pink and red everywhere and February's just begun.
That being said, does anyone else out there (mainly people that are heartbroken like myself) think that there should be more "power to the single people" propaganda around V-Day? Or, if you are single, what do you have planned for that special day?

i'm taken and i'm still depressed about valentine's day because my fiance has no ounce of romanticism in him.
what date is it again?
I'm single and I have a gig on Valentine's Day: I was asked to sing at a Valentine's party at the local church. But I'm doing mostly funny songs about the frustrating side of love. hehe
Valentine's Day is about love, not necessarily about couples. You can share that love with your family - aren't you glad you have them? Enjoy basking in the glow of this lovely holiday =)
I'm married and my husband and I are not celebrating Valentine's Day. We both are just gonna treat it like any other day. lol.
But in my teen years, I was mostly 'single' when Valentine's was around the corner. I just spent it with friends and family. Nothing can beat that. :)
I too just went through a horrible breakup, Well its up to you whether you want to feel miserable or not, why not have a "Singles Night Out" party with your friends. After all valentines isnt only for couples right? (:
My best friend is being ditched on Vday so we might hang out together and be anti-Valentine =)
I'm just going to go to my favorite coffee shop like usual and enjoy one of their Valentine's smoothie special all to myself. It's big enough for two, but I figure that it's better if it just me enjoying it. XD
~ Peace and Love
ive gotta bf & we both HATE valentinez day itz just silly & stoopid & anuther xcuse for consumerz to get all fukd up buying shit that duznt meen enything gawd itzan outrage against humyn dignity stop the madness ok btw every year i design a vd card that showz the venerable saint gettin hiz hed choppd off with blud squirtin everywher most people get the whole reality chek thang otherz freakout & say im justa hateful missy but i say fuk em im just doin my part for the revolushun
I am heartbroken but I'm not going to feel worse on Valentine's Day than I do every other day. I don't really care about Valentine's Day. I've had a boyfriend every Valentine's Day for the last four years and I never really did anything special with them. I think it's a stupid consumer holiday. What's more depressing to me is being surrounded by couples all the time. Pretty much all my friends are in relationships right now so it's hard to get over someone when everyone around you is in love. On Valentine's Day I'm probably just going to do whatever I would normally do. It's not like I can hang out with a single friend and complain because none of my friends are single!!
i usually throw an Anti-VDay party, where everyone has to dress in green and if you bring up anything romantic or say the name of the day then you have to do something unpleasant
i hate vday even though i'm usually with someone for it
I'm single, kind of more by choice though. I'm going to see "He's Just Not That Into You" with all my other single friends on Valentine's day :)
Single... but I don't really care... since this year it's a Saturday so I can gather up with some friends and party hard~
It's not such a bad day...
Dancing.
I was never big on Valentine's Day to begin with, even when I had a boyfriend. I think you should show how much you love someone ANY day of the year not just V Day.
Anyways, I'm going to a party a married couple I know if having. It should be fun.
I've always been single on Valentines Day and I HATE it! Can totally agree with you, except for the bad break-up. To have a break-up you have to have a boyfriend and I have never had a BF! I'll probably just treat Valentines Day like any ol other day. Probably write my future hubby a love letter, maybe even get him a card or something.
Not sure if I'm gonna be doing anything special this year. A couple of years ago my single friends and I wore all black outfits on Valentine's Day haha.
I usually ignore the holiday and pretend it doesn't exist. If I do see something V-Day related I just make smartass remarks to myself or whoever else is around. Generally I treat it like any other day but if I do have the specific thought "I'm single and it's valentine's day" I shove it quickly out of my head and think about something else. Quick side-note: I got a tattoo last V-Day!
dude. go out with your friends. fuck the ex. (I sound so powerful but I totally feel what you're feeling - my ex of 3 years and I broke up 4 months ago and I'm still not over it) But really, why are you letting them ruin things for you? I'm pretty sure not ALL your friends are taken - just go clubbing or barhopping or something. You don't need someone to be happy with yourself. It's not healthy to go from relationship to relationship anyway.
Valentine's day is such a consumer-oriented holiday. I really think the day is ridiculous. I didn't like it when I was single, and my feelings on it haven't changed now that I'm in a relationship.
My boyfriend and I are going to watch a couple horror movies on the day...
Being single/heartbroken around Valentine's Day is just as worse as being in a relationship if your S/O doesn't care or like celebrating Valentine's Day.
that's all I gotta say.
OH. I think it's better to be single around Valentine's Day anyway. You have nothing to expect. And guys would come to you to ask you. At least, that's what it would be like for me, if I were single.
I'm single and treating it like any other day of the year.
It's a gift to be single, just enjoy that.
If you adopt an attitude of "hate" towards Valentine's Day, the day is doomed from the start. I'm going on my 39th straight year of being single on Valentine's Day, and I'm going to wake up just like everyone else and put two feet on the ground...just like everyone else.
As for my "date"--I'll probably be loading up on carbs for my triathlon the next day!
I will hate this day. I hate that holiday, I am always alone and I will ruin it for everyone cuz I am alone so I want to be miserable for everyone else. I want to see tears cuz I cant make any of my own. U fucking "lovers" dont understand. Love is just a lie. Its better to be single and alone cuz the heart broke u carry as it is wont get worst. U people with love lives and arnt alone. I laugh at you. I fucking laugh at all of you cuz you people dont know what you have coming to you. U dont understand. Love is a lie and its childish. Here what I am going to be doing on that stupid holiday. I am going to be luaghing at u couples and lovers and telling you that soon u will be miserable. I swear. U people are fucking retards thinking Love will solve your problems. Fucking A!!!...Mother fuckers
