Does anyone think Valentine's Day totally sucks?

I'm single and I had a great V day. I even bought myself a DQ ice cream cake and cooked a good dinner. But it does help that i still have single friends to share it with.\nThere was an article today about how japan women resent V day because they have to buy men candy and the men don't return the favor.

I don't like Valentines Day, It usually reminds me of what I don't have.  Plus the people who really are in love it shouldn't matter to because wouldn't it be Valentines Day every day.

..No dear, instead go prove to yourself that you've not a loner in need !\nWhoever told u that St Valentine's Day is only to express your feelings for ur spouse, or girlfriend ?! Love is one commodity that you can gift to just about anyone :\n...Go, for example, to an orphanage in you hometown - and gift some sweets or pastries to the kids there. The warm affection that they give in return will NOT be faked - but the real thing !\nOr, visit some aged friends/relations, and take 'em out for a simple picnic lunch : Their genuine gratitude for your gesture will kindle a lot more warmth in ur heart - than even a lover's kiss ever can !\n...Life is not what u take of it pal, it is what u MAKE of it ! \nHappy Valentine's Day ! Cheers !!

For the first time I am spending Christmas away from my Wife and kids.  I know how you feel when it comes to  relitives that are a little odd, but it is a different story when you can not be there, it's that "You do not know what you have tell it is gone" thing.  \n\nI well be sitting in Iraq waiting for Feb to come around so my year well be over.  Well there is always Valentines Day... *S*

I've had mixed feelings about it.  I used to hate it with a passion because it really is a corporate holiday and at the same time I always hated it because I never had somebody in my life to celebrate it with, as corny as that sounds.  This year for the first time ever I had someone.  We didnt go all out with these extravagant presents or expensive dinner.  We just spent time together and that was enough.

Yes.\n\nHolidays are days to celebrate special things and/or people.  But a valentine need not be a significant other.  It can be a child, a close friend or a family member who needs a smile. \n\nBeing single myself - I try to make it a special day for those that I care about - I will do something special with my son or for my elderly grandfather or my close friends, etc...  I don't let the day go to waste just because I don't have a significant other to dote upon.

You don't - you get a boyfriend because you enjoy spending time with someone. Valentines day is just like any other day of the year - highly overrated!!\n\nIf you are in it just to get a teddy bear and a box of chocolates go buy them for yourself!

No, the day after so people can recover from their hang overs :P\n\nseriously, no i don't think so. Not unless we were able to get Valentines Day and Halloween off too.

jeez, way to make me feel bad, I don't even remember where I was yesterday much less last year!\n\nSeriously though, it's safe to say that this last year (closer to 18 months)have been the worst in my life. It's kinda sad because a year ago I kept telling myself, "well, at least things can't get much worse", I thought I hit rock bottom. I was wrong. \nOh, gawd...sorry for the emo crap, I should have just stopped at the dumb joke.\nI'm glad things are looking better for you though!

I absolutely agree! I celebrate them because there sort of forced on.  My family just sort of shows up every freak'n Holiday & my dad's always calling and asking "so what are we going to do for...?"  I swear they do it out of spite because they know I hate holidays.  \n\nLike you said, every day is worth celebrating, not just some designated, commercialized day.  They cost to much too celebrate, I'm a tight a** and I hate spending my money on crap i.e., easter baskets, candy, table clothes, it's all sh**.\n\nI don't mind Christmas though, not for the religious associations, I just love that time of year, the cold weather, the warm food, and the fireplace.  But that's what I do during the winter anyhow.  \n\nThe most disturbing to me though, has to be Valentine's Day.  Good lord, I despise that day!  "Oh, honey, I love you so much today.  Here's some flowers and a box of chocolates I pickup at the grocery store." F*** all that!\n\nIf you love someone so much why wait until fr'kn Feb 14 to show it.  Bring them chocolate, flowers, love notes, sing them a song, cook them dinner, every day.\n\nMan I hear you!
