I saw a comic the other day of a guy hunkered down in a circle of sandbags, firing a handgun. He's surrounded by 6 Cupids, all firing arrows at him.
That's how I feel.

I always find that valentine's day is just an excuse for pretty much everyone to make money from gullible saps. The way I've looked at it is that it shouldn't take a special day for someone to tell the person that's special in their life how special they are. If you treat them like s**t the rest of the year, being nice on Valentine's makes no difference. I would rather a bloke was nice to me all year around and forgot Valentine's rather then just went along like a sheep and bought me flowers and chocolates like every other bloke in the world. I would rather he bought me flowers just because he loved me, not because of a targeted marketing campaign!

If it's any consolation Queegle I feel exactly the same for being without a girlfriend. It's no different from last year, the year before, the year before that...

Seems more like a *mass comercialized sadness day* !
I prefer groundhog day!
I make sure i celebrate it. Makes it is easier to skip this one too.
I think it could easily be banned for those over 8 
There is always a long trail of depressed folks. 
It is like new Years to me.
I Just try my best to ignore it and it almost goes away.

Just adding my hatred of this event (well, when I'm sans girlfriend)
It's just a filler cause there's nothing big in the greetings card calendar between Chrimble and Easter, hence :
Every-bloody-where!!!!!!

I agree with Napnod. If he's not nice to you year 'round, kick him to the curb. 
Had a boyfriend during the season once. We had a lovely weekend before Valentine's day, but he didn't call the day of because he had homework. Single now and no surprise. 
anyone?

i think you are all missing the point and my heart goes out to you. i am sure there is a story behind valentines day, just because it became commercialised like chrimbo and easter doesn't mean it has no meaning.

The point is we're all without sig oths and rather miffed about it. The anti-commercialism is a by-product.

I bet you wouldn't be campaigning for an end to valentine's day if you had a partner though...
k who used to denounce the whole thing right up until I got myself a fella

I am not without (happily) but did not want to go on about that
I still do not like the idea, because on the whole it seems to upset more folks than it *gives* a good day to.
Or I am just surrounded by depressed folks. 
I am even a romantic it just does not *do anything* for me, or most around me. Even kids seem to get slighted and upset

Wampus Posted Feb 13, 2003
I would still denounce the holiday if I had an S.O. because it forces me to spend $70 for a dozen roses that ordinarily cost $10.

Creachy: That bus comment better have been about frequency.
Kelli: Even with the one time I managed to have boyfriend and Vday at the same time, I still wasn't happy with the comercialization.
Philosophical question: Why do I dump/get dumped before major holidays?

it just ges to show the sad state of human kind when a good joyous day comes round and it is regarded with malice and bitterness. smile people, it is all we have left.

Well I'm not as virulent when I'm with someone, but I do still believe in the big commercial conspiracy. When I have a partner, I always make my own card/try to find an original present. But to be honest it does leave me all rather cold. Wouldn't you be more touched if your sig other came home one day unexpectedly with a gift to let you know how much he loves you, or get the usual card/flowers/chocolate because it's valentine's day and they feel they have to?

I hope he doesn't get me roses - they are stupidly expensive now 
He often buys flowers without any real reason so I doubt he'll be spending a fortune on them now.
I am intending to wake up and extra half hour early and give him a present that'll keep a smile on his face all morning *nudge, wink*
