i have feeling this ganna be my 5 time being alone with the coming Valentine's Day . i am thinking some ways to avoid myself feel lonely This year i will make myself sick on bed Anyone have their way to avoid this day ?
that's really... man, I would be really hurt if I were your partner and found out you had faked a sick day to not be near me. There's nothing wrong with a quiet Valentine's day, or even one spent away from your partner (though realistically it'd be less hurtful to him to spend some time apart before and after rather than the actual day of celebrating your love, as it's considered to be by most people) I'm single atm, so no plans for Vday
I think she meant that she does not have a partner. Why are you going to lay in bed faking sick? Instead try to go out a meet someone.
I am engaged. My fiance loves to laugh at his friends having to make a big to-do about VD, while he doesn't have to because I think VD is an undesirable problem. It's a crappy hallmark holiday, and if I need an annual holiday for someone to celebrate our love, then that guy ain't worth keeping around anyway. Where's the love on the other 364 days of the year? I would much rather he make small romantic gestures throughout the year than make one huge display one day a year. And, realizing what a cheesy sham VD is makes it a lot easier to not be phased by all the crap that hallmark wants you to obsess about in Feb. -- having a date, getting a dozen red roses (which are way overpriced compared to what they cost any other time of year), blah blah blah. So, instead of wasting the day in bed, go do something you enjoy and don't worry about those people wasting their money paying twice the normal price for a bunch of crap that will be eaten or dead within a week, just because Hallmark tells them to increase Hallmark's profits.
Instead of hiding out in bed, being all bitter faced, why don't you get together with a friend and go out for (or make one at home) a nice dinner or something fun? Or get a few of your single friends over for drinks and games or something?
Well... I can't spend V'Day with my boyfriend. We live ages away from each other due to carrer plans. But I'm not going to let it get me down, seeing my friends will make me feel better, try not to think about it too much and you'll soon wonder what the fuss is about.
You know when I first started reading this reply I thought you were talking about "VD" not the damn holiday and could not understand why you would believe "VD" was anything less than an "Undesirable Problem". It was not until I reached that part That I realized what you had been saying, LOL I was like "dang your bf is mean" saying things like that.
Whether we're talking venereal disease or valentines day, "VD" IS an "Undesirable Problem"!!! I hate seeing women (and it's been mostly women that I've seen, my guy friends tend to be happy to avoid the bs) moping about and getting overly upset about this one stupid hallmark holiday. But even more, I hate seeing couples have problems because he didn't make a grand enough gesture or whatever. I've seen this day that some people think is for "celebrating love" cause more problems than it's ever been worth. For the price of a dozen roses delivered on VD, he could send me flowers several times during the year at non-peak times -- which doesn't mean much if you're independently wealthy, but for the rest of us it may come down to either or, not both. And, frankly, I find it to be a much more significant gesture of love when he sends flowers just because, instead of because he is expected to on VD.
keep your head up, girl. dont dawn on your surrows...it makes it worse! go outside or hang with people who make you feel happy. you wont be lonely for so long
To me anyways VD is just another day.. think about all the other days you have with your friends and you guys can hang out and search for the right one. Love will strike you .. when you least expect it. Don't let VD's bring you down. Its just another day with a "label" PG
Dont avoid Valentines day! Just spend time with family or friends, or go out and party. Just dont avoid it. But if u want to have a date as a trusting friend to help u find 1 or take a risk if ur not a risk taker, and ask a guy u like out, if hes not single, find someone u like nd think u know him as well as u think u do. This is my advice (dnt have to take it)
not faking sick , but make myself be sick , you are right , no partner and my sweet love is trying to put me aside or want me to leave , we fighting and fighting a lot these days which we still havent come up any solution of how should we do . But i am preparing for the lonely Valentine already and lonly Chinese New Year withut my love with my side . The Chinese New Year is 20th Feb . Happy Day for the kids but not ' big kids " like me . I just hate ppl making the pracital jokes of letting their kids ask me lucky money ( which means when is your big day of wedding, only married ppl give lucky momeny )
ppl will be crazy busy during this Valentine's day for its so close the Chinese New Year , ppl just busy with shopping for gifts ..and most of my friends seems just making me more sad for they just like to asking why i would be alone and where s my lover going ? Sorry to say that sometimes i just really dislike theiry curosity and interference of ppl's privacy . Plus most of my friends are with 'someone' .. poor me..
heh when I was in Middle school I always got kinda bumed out I never had a valentines. But now is just a nother day in my book I dont care for valentines day anymore and dont think I ever will. All I can say. ;O
Getting married killed valentine's day for me. Said he didn't believe in it. then he stopped believing in anniversaries, my birthday, Xmas presents for me (but he still wanted and got them) and so on. this year it's valentines day on my own for me and I feel good about that...gotta love yourself cuz nobody else really will.
from now on , i hate all the anniversaries ,.. i never feel happy from any of them , especially the Valentine's day ..always me alone .. Today is Valentine day here ..and i am feeeling so lonely .
I hate all special dates too. But it has more to do with my general lifelong hatred for the symbolic... Well, now that I'm thinking about it, it's related to my social inadequacy. The more socially adaptable people are, the more they care for symbolic dates.
