I never thought much of it as being a sad day. I remember my second job at a company seeing the some of the girls get flowers and maybe because I was young and mainly into my career I thought awe how beautiful and nothing much while others were saying how depress or sad they felt.
A girl that I once worked with told me how her and her single friends would dress all in black and go out to eat. I love the going out w/ your girls part but I didn't get the dressing in black part.

Valentine's Day depresses me.
inspirational example:
DO YOU HAVE A DATE (FEARSOM)?
HUH, DO YOU, DO YOU, HUH?!
Then I get to see other couples giving gifts and snuggling up, plus the bonus of all the hetero-advertising, public kissing, and of course couple's specials.
It's a touch too commercial, and I seem to get no love, so to speak, from any sex/gender so I AM a tad bitter.
it is however, a good excuse to hit on guys/girls/trees that don't have anything festive about them.
(yes, I did put a pink plaid shirt on a ginkgo tree one year, and drew a big sharpie heart on it with the words 'WOOD U LOVE ME?')

i think what St. Valentine was all about was really cool. He was priest who married soldiers even though it was against law, because he believed everybody should have the right to be with someone for all their life.
I also think that it's far more romantic if a partner surprises a loved one a random day in the year, than on an almost "mandatory" day. Love really should be celebrated year-round. on those same lines, i disagree with black history month. we shouldn't need to set aside a specific month for black history, because it should be taught along with all other history!
umm. yeah, got sidetracked. but yeah, valentine's day is way too commercialized for me. doesn't really depress me though.

Valentine's Day for singles, is Single's Awareness Day.
I realize it's very commercialized and can be appear to be contrived.
But the day, for being with someone you love, perhaps expressing said love with gifts or a romantic evening/outing.
I have always been alone. Every-single-Valentine 's-Day. It gets extremely old. I don't even like leaving my house that day. Seeing how it seems like everyone has someone that loves them, but me. Yeah it's a huge pity party day for me.
If I had someone, we would spend the day, just being even more lovey dovey than usual, and that doesn't necessarily mean gifts.
I'd like to get married some day on Valentine's as cheesy as it seems. Would be a nice way of breaking my single curse

I agree I love is important all the time and we should always suprise suprise are love ones with gifts, etc not just on V-day! (:

I never thought of it as different than any other day. I've only been on one "Valentine's Day date" and it wasn't any different than the other dates I've been on. Whenever V-day rolls around and I'm single (like right now) I just think of it as pointless and a waist of time and money.

I'm indifferent to valentines day and the last two times I celebrated it with someone special I had to be reminded that it was Valentines day. Lol. Personally I don't think that you should wait for one day every year to show someone else how much you care about them.

In terms of romance and relationships, I am pretty indifferent towards it and it doesn't mean a whole lot to me.
As a massage therapist I love Valentine's Day because I make tons of money since people feel obligated to buy each other presents. I am usually booked solid the entire month of February. Don't get me wrong, I think V-day is WAY to commercialized, I just enjoy benefiting from it.

I didn't care all that much about V-Day when I wasn't single and I care even less now. I mean it is always nice to get flowers or candy or just be appreciated and feel special... why wait around and do it when it is expected. I like to be surprised more.

It doesn't really bother me. I'll probably end up on a girl date with my best friend and that's just fine by me

Though I've never had much of an opinion on Valentine's Day (except maybe it's way too commercial and guys need to love their partners every other day of the year as well) but I have my fingers crossed to find a Valentine before that day comes along!!!

I really don't care about it personally, but I do get annoyed by the pressure and commercialism. How do teddy bears holding hearts represent the love you feel for someone? Isn't doing something kind for them on any old day a much more sincere gesture?
It's just one of those holidays designed to make feel like there is something wrong with them if they are not following the exact social recipe of a night of romance and roses.

I think it's kind of a goofy, invented holiday to make people spend money. But I don't find it particularly depressing... I've just never cared to celebrate it. I really think a gift given on a normal day is MUCH more romantic than giving something on Valentine's Day (when you're kind of obliged to by society).

Everyday should be a day for surprise thoughts and acts of love and enjoyment!!!!
I dislike days like Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Childrens Day, Women's Day all these days...even Thanksgiving Day. I am one that beleives that everyday should be a day for all these things. To me all these days are just days on the calendar to remind us that some people have expectations that these days are more important than others.
I love giving gifts of just because often, to remind the people near and dear to me that I think of them often.

I hate it for commercializing love. Hate!

Most of the time I able to not pay much attention to Valentine's Day, but then there are times when it kind of depresses me and makes me feel lonely.
01/28/2011
Honestly? It does make me sad when I see all these happy couples in love and doing things together because it just reminds me that I don't have that in my life. I do think people tend to go overboard with the commercialism of it all. I mean, you only take one day to tell and show someone that you love them? Why not do it all year round and not just one particular day?
01/29/2011
Valentines day is just way to overrated, it raises expectations and then disapoints and love should be shown everyday not just 1 specific day, it should be treated like a regular day

For the longest time all the word "holidays" ever meant to me was days off from school and less homework. That still holds true these days, but now I wonder what the point is of officially designating certain national/international holidays. It's like showing people you care can only happen once a day during certain times of the year because doing that *every* day is somehow inconvenient.
06/10/2011
I dont think of Valentine's Day to be solely about romantic love. Im single and its my absolute favorite holiday because I refuse to let it be only for people in a relationship. Its a love holiday. I love my family and friends so I make this entire holiday about celebrating the ones in my life that I love, who ever said this holiday was solely romantic?
