    I've never had date on Valentine's Day. Any relationship I had usually ended before or started after. Though, I don't really care.

    The way I cope with it: I think it's stupid. If someone loves me, or anyone for that matter, needing a special "holiday" to go all out and be romantic and what not seems flakey. Why need a special day to do something like that for someone you love? I personally aim for someone who makes me feel like that everyday.

    Also the fact I don't consider it a real "holiday."

    I will be lonesome in the relationship aspect. The way I cope is to just have hopes that I'll find someone special in the future. :slight_smile:
    I'm also very happy that I am a member of this forum. EC has helped me in so many ways.

    I think it's a stupid "Hallmark holiday" to begin with, but yeah, I don't have anyone. :frowning2:

    Been alone on every valentines day so far but it has never bothered me. Its just a stupid day for people to make money. I agree with Pillshere, no one should need a certain day to show someone how they feel. I just see it as another day and continue with my daily business.

    I won't be alone.

    February 14 is just another day to me. It comes and goes each year, just like any other day on the calendar.

    Studying for my stats midterm tonight.

    Unless people are going to start getting up in the middle of answering multiple-choice and then making out, I think I'll be fine.

    Just another day to me, I've never really understood why people spend 5 dollars on a card and another 20 on flowers. If you're gonna buy me something, get me something useful! :lol: I don't really think there should be a day dedicated to appreciating the person you love, it should be like that every day.

    It'd be cool if EC did that matchmaking idea today. (I've been told by others I'm "forever alone" girl :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: )

    Anyway, I'm gonna cope by taking a nice relaxing bath, wearing a nice dress, applying to a job at the Vet Hospital (please pray/hope whatever you do that I get it... I'm broke and living with my parents lol), having a gal pal spend the night so we can play truth or dare. I'll probably come out to her too (she won't care but even if she did she's stuck with me lol). So I keep busy mostly. May even treat myself to some coconut ice cream and I'm gonna have an EC romance... :wink:

    Also chocolate helps!

    Also, there are alot of sites that'll help you with creative ideas if you're single on "Single's Awareness Day." I found some of them to be quite useful.

    Happy Single's Awareness Day ya hopeless romantics! :wink: ~<3

    Normally I don't really remember it's valentines or care that it's valentines, but this year is different, because I've found someone I want to be with and I'm not with them, and doubt I will ever be with them.. It's very depressing, but I've coped by keeping busy all day. Sorry I sound like a right moody mope-about, I'm not normally, I just feel really low at the moment because of this.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!! (!) (*hug*) :eusa_clap

    ---------- Post added 14th Feb 2013 at 10:40 AM ----------

    This year has sucked, as I have been away from my wife now since Oct 21 of last year and this is the first time I have been alone in over 14 years. I am also getting sick. So I will spend most of the day in bed, before I go to work. ugh. :icon_sad:
