I love Valentines day when I I have someone to care about and who cares about me.
Unfortunately this year it will apparently come and go uneventfully. :(
One year I was engaged to a woman I loved very very much and she was living in Denver while I was here in North Carolina.
I got a box and began filling it with all sorts of goodies.
I Put a couple of pictures of myself in frames, my favorite shirt laced with my her favorite cologne, a CD of some love songs I preformed and recorded just for her complete with fancy label, little love trinkets I found all over town, red crepe paper lined and full to the brim with everything under the sun including that crinkly paper stuff the florists use to fill baskets with and about two bag fulls of those little red mylar hearts dispersed throughout.
I almost couldn't get the thing closed, it was that full.
She told me that when she opened it, it pretty much exploded and those little red hearts went everywhere.
From that time forward I've always had fond memories of my "love bomb" and I can't wait to use that one again!

Romance isn't just for one day a year!! Valentine's day itself is highly over-rated, I mean, who only wants to get chocolates and/or flowers and/or a nice dinner once a year? Maybe that's why I'm single...too many standards...
Naw, can't be that...could it?

I could not agree more bailey...there was another thread with relatively the same subject and as I tried to answer there, it is a great place to enforce all the consumerism between Christmas and Easter, when in fact it turns out to be a day to remind those who are already partnered to get out and spend and a time for those who are single to remind us....that well, we have no partner....
And like Christmas, it has lost it's meaning with the flood of merchandise and advertising....
Be nice all year long if you can...and keep the standards at the high level they should be at

Ah, the cursed Hallmark holiday. If the only reason somebody does something special for a loved one is because it is on one of these so called holidays (valentines day, sweetest day), it's actually kinda sad. You shouldn't have to be told what day you have to do something for you signifigant other. A good man or woman doesn't need a specific day, they do it cause they love their partner, and want to do it, not feel they have to.
I've gotten my woman (if I have someone at that time) something for Valentines day, but that wasn't the only time during the yr I've done something spontaneous or romantic. After all, if you don't even do anything on valentines day, that's worse.
With it being on a tuesday this yr, I don't see myself doing anything. I am how you'd say "attatched" right now, but we live a hundred miles apart, and I have to work ( unless by miracle I could get a vacation day, and suprise her). It is also my parents' 20th wedding anniversary.

It just makes me sad, because I think of the happy times before that I had, with my love that passed away. As Tumpa said, it only reminds those of us who are alone...that we ARE alone.

Well I guess I could actually give my thoughts about VDay. I guess it was another good reason to get freaky, only we would probably book a hotel with a nice hot tub, and really take the entire day and devote it to each other. With the busy world we live in today, it leaves little time to just lay in your partners arms, and be reminded of why you are with each other. So Valentine's Day, without all the red and chocolate hearts, is another day to reflect. Even if I don't have a date by then, it doesn't bother me, if I'm alone, then it will be another day to reflect over my romantic experiences and smile, as I honestly have no regrets. ;)

You not have a date? You seem like such a good gal, any guy would be lucky to have you in their life. Things will get better, I've learned this. Best of luck Crystal!!!!

Just keep in mind, you're an attractive woman...And you seem to be very sweet... you'll find someone.. really.. but in the meantime what you might want to think of doing is just take the day to PAMPER yourself. I'm not saying to go "CRAZY"... but as a woman, I know sometimes a little pampering can make us feel better without being over-materialistic. Put a little money aside and buy yourself a nice dress, sweater, shoes, whatever, etc. Go ta a salon, get your hair done.. if you have enough, get a "Glamour shot" taken.. that's always a lot of fun and you can try on different outfits they have and looks. Then afterwards, go out with a group of SINGLE friends.. (try to stay away from couples, too depressing) Also, some counties hold special affairs for Valentines' day like parties, social events that are very inexpensive to attend. Look in the paper or if you get one of those "booklets" on County activities...
Just an idea from someone in the same boat as you are...
Love,
Ann

Thanks guys! I am doing fine. I go out with my friends here, and yes I do get hit on, however, when they find out what I do, they run. And considering I work in a police detachment, and they run because of this, then they're probably into something that I'm not. I love life, I know that I don't need a man to continue loving it. And yes Ann, I pamper myself... lol. I don't have to spend anything on a man being around, so, I travel, go to the spa, all that good stuff. Thanks for all the lovin' folks, you guys/gals are awesome!

I find it ironic that the commerce-consumer industry always belittle religions in general, then turn around and try to cash-in on a religious holiday or day of observance and demeaning it even further until there is no trace virtually of the origins...be it of any religion the world over. Commercialism certainly has put a twist on "Romance" as being limited to one day only and to base it of merchandise....an' dat ain't de way Romance works...while personalized gifts to show affection, etc. are one thing, Romance is and should be everyday, with , as the poets say, with every breath we take...as there are about as many types of Love as there are days in a year, so should Romance find expressions for every day of the year; "it's good for the soul", of both people....I think...:)
