I don't know why I just really hate Valentine's Day. It's probably because I'm single. Also my school has this thing where for some odd dollars, they have the choir sing some lame song to whoever you choose. I know what your thinking: I'm just jealous no one does it for me. But NO. Its all so stupid and corny. Bleh. How am I supposed to go through 1/2 an hour listening to that crap? I think its all just some cheap way to ask your crush out. Maybe I'm just too much of a downer. I wont lie though, I think the whole slipping a card into you crushes locker, is cute. Maybe some of you should try it? Although with my luck I would end up on the short end of a prank... Phew! Thnx for listening to my rant! What do you guys think about Valentine's Day? Things you like, hate, fear, want etc... Whatever ^_^
I always found it silly. When I'm coupled I feel the anxiety of having to buy something, and when I'm single I'm usually finding it plain stupid. I don't need to wait for a particular day to shower my beloved with gifts/flowers/whatever. I do it when I feel like it, and it's more than once in a year.
I agree.It should be everyday not just on Valentines.Its all too commercialised.You always feel like you have to make an extra effort on Valentines day when you are with someone.And when single,its just a constant reminder that you are on your own!
This is the first time I'm actually dating someone on valentines day. But I mean I don't really see much of a point as you should show them you love them all year long not just on one occasion
I don't like it because everyone is all lovey-dovey with their partners and I feel so lonely and jealous. -_-' Valentine's Day is clearly meant to make us single people envious.
I have the same feeling towards it. It's basically that one day a year where people can rub their love in your face and you can't say anything about it.
I think its a nice idea to do something good for someone... not only one person... kind of random kindness... and its the thought that counts... you can really have fun that day going around and doing some nice gestures... and people are often more outgoing on that day...
Amazingly, I don't feel lonely and I don't feel jealous. It's just another day. I tune out the commercial aspect of it. I've got various errands planned for this Saturday. I struggle more with Thanksgiving and Christmas than I do with Valentine's Day.
I agree that, you should always be willing to show and express love, no matter what day it is. However... ... that is what I aim to do. I've purchased 10 small boxes of candy, and put a small stick-it note on the front. On those notes are just random little sayings, like, "Somebody loves you!" and "You look great!". Needless to say, come Valentine's Day, 10 random folks are going to have their days made.
I second this. I feel the same about Mother's and Father's day. You should show them and tell them you love them throughout the year, every opportunity you get, not just on one day.
I use to hate Valentines Day but now I could care less. What I do is buy a pack of V-Day cards for all my friends I know are single and give one to each with a hug and/or kiss on the cheek =) after all why should only couples get all the love out of Valentines Day?
V-day was always lame to me. I only made a big deal out of it recently with my ex BF because I came out as Lesbian. hehe
I actually do like Valentine's Day. Yes, I totally agree with people saying "you don't need Valentine's Day, you can show your love on any other day" or "it's all about buying things, it's a Capitalistic day". I definitely agree with those people. We don't need the day, but the day is there anyways. I would just go to mall with my boyfriend, we will buy something together (a bag of crisps, or some chocolate), we go home and watch television together (it's Valentine's Day, so there's probably a romantic film ) while we cuddle up and eat what we've bought. :icon_bigg That's our idea of celebrating Valentine's Day. We don't buy gifts for the other person alone. We just do things together. =)
I always get sick on Valentine's day soooo I'm not a fan... Even when I'm not single like now. Valentine's day was only fun in elementary school where everyone gave out cards with candy to each other regardless...
I am more jealous that it is tax refund season 'cause while everyone is getting money I am just wallowing in my brokenness. Normally, I am not bothered by the holiday but this year is is different, I am accepting of who I am but I live in this small town, highly isolated from the world and I am being to panic about finding someone. I mean how do you go out an meet gay people in a bum-frack uptight small town?
This is the first year that being alone on Valentine's Day will really bother me. While others are spending time with the person they love the most, I have a dentist appointment which is quite lame. I'll probably reschedule that just so I don't have to answer any questions about my [lack of] plans for the day. I have nothing against the holiday itself though; I think it's great for people in love to have a reminder to appreciate and make time for each other. I just wish I could participate.
