Is Valentine's Day a happy or sad day for you?

[begin_within]

[TZ]

1. sad.

I've never been dating anyone on that day. It makes me feel depressed when normally I don't think about my aloneness overly much...

[Left Is Write]

2. It's pretty neutral to me.

The huge marketing push annoys me sometimes; the message appears to be that your loved one doesn't truly love you if he or she does not provide you with candy, flowers, and jewelry. I also get annoyed at the jacked up prices for candy and flowers on February 14th, and I wish that so many people (men in particular) weren't pressured to buy these things just to match up with a date on the calendar.

3. It depends...

I'm going to my favorite bar. If any of the three cute female bartenders are working...especially the one that is flirting with me, it's going to be a good day. Otherwise, it's going to be a sad bottom of the glass sort of night.

[AlCzervik]

4. That was my Mom's birthday so it's bittersweet.

she would have been 68 this year. Anyhow if she thought i'd be moping around the house being sad all day she would have kicked my ass so i don't.

[Danger Mouse]

5. Not so good. Had two relationships end right around there.

[AwakeAtLast]

6. My daughter was born the day before

well actually, an hour and a half before - so it's a very happy day for me!

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. Neither

I couldn't care less about it. :shrug:


Although the cheap candy after the fact is pretty cool. :P

[Danger Mouse]

9. Liar!

[RevolutionaryActs]

10. Really, I don't care.

:shrug:

[Danger Mouse]

11. Sorry, it just seemed like the appropriate thing to say.

I hate Valentine's Day with a passion.

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. I suppose I should care.

They want me to care, being a young single woman, but I don't. :P


:hug:

[lizerdbits]

8. Just another day

I've been in relationships on that day and I usually request no big deal be made (never a problem as men don't seem to like the whole idea), though chocolate is welcome anytime. :) The 15th is better- super discount on Reese's hearts! :9 (Like I need any.)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

12. Sad

And it probably always will be

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Neither, but...

if DU rolls out those goddamned hearts again, it's gonna be a real pisser. :grr:

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. Awww, I like the hearts.

I'll give you all of mine, 'kay? :loveya:

[Danger Mouse]

18. That's because you get eleventy billion of them.

Those of us who don't aren't as happy about them. :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. I do not!

:o

[Danger Mouse]

22. I bet if they do the hearts this year you'll get a whole bunch.

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. That wouldn't be fair to you

And it'd be misrepresentative of me.

But it's terribly sweet. :loveya:



Really, it's not the hearts themselves I dislike. It's the way Loungies turn into fifth-graders about them.

[RevolutionaryActs]

25. Ahhh, yes, I understand.

They do get a little over excited, don't they?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

37. you better buy me one

:)

[Midlodemocrat]

47. Aw. If they do, I'll make sure to send one your way.

[bikebloke]

16. Just another day.

But then I've saved money on flowers and dinner out, so my survival cache has grown a wee bit.

[jobycom]

17. If I have someone, it's a good day. If not, it's just a day.

I don't get sad about other people's happiness, or depressed over arbitrary celebrations of things I don't have. If I'm seeing someone, I live up the day and take what it gives me. Otherwise, I use the time to plan for Mardi Gras, or spend it with my kids. I leave brooding melancholy for others to enjoy.

[Lady President]

19. Happy that it's on a Saturday

I won't be celebrating, but I'm glad that it's on a weekend this year. The women in my office can't "complain" all day about it. For example, "I have to go all the way to the lobby to pick up my flowers." "I'm going to be so tired after dinner and drinks on a weekday." :eyes:

[no name no slogan]

21. Just another day

It was the day my ex-wife and I consummated our relationship (and two days before her birthday). However, it doesn't mean a whole lot to me these days. I'm not in a relationship, and not really looking either, so it doesn't mean a whole lot.

[abq e streeter]

24. Sad because unless you're a stronger person than I am

it just drives the feeling of being isolated and alone deep inside you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. It's usually a happy day for me...

Especially if my husband is extra tender...

Sometimes he makes me a Valentine...

And I love that!

I don't require, nor do I ask for, flowers, candy, or diamonds...

[Drunken Girlfriend]

27. Valentines Day

It's neither a sad day,or happy day for me.

Just another holiday really,and I think it's highly overrated.

Mind you,I have more or less been single most of my life,
with no serious commitments to speak of,and maybe this is why
I feel this way.

I usually spend Valentines Day alone,or go hang out at
the bar for a few drinks.lol

This yr,I have invited a crush over,and he's agreed to drop by.

I don't want sex or anything,but since he has already kissed me
on a few occasions,I wouldn't mind indulging in a heavy petting
situation after a few beers,if he is up for it.

I'm 30 with a high sex drive,but I am easy to please.lol

Hell,if a cute guy smiles at me,it's pretty much made my day,
so that should tell you something! lol

[Robeson]

28. What day does it fall on?

[begin_within]

31. Saturday

[crimsonblue]

29. It's just another day.

[harmonicon]

30. sad this year

very very sad

[Tuesday Afternoon]

32. It is just another day. n/t

[Lavender Brown]

33. Happy... no reason to be sad about it

If I'm single I can still give cards and gifts to other people I love.

[redqueen]

34. Both.

Just a matter of trying to stay focused on one more than the other really.

[Deja Q]

35. Neither. Should love not be spontaneously induced, and not set to a calendar?

Not even one that fathoms 'the time of the month'?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

36. very happy.. has always been a happy day for me

[blondeatlast]

38. Sad this year. nt

[billyskank]

39. Valentine's Day is a yearly reminder of what a worthless sack of crap I am.

x(

[Midlodemocrat]

48. Don't be ridiculous.

You are far from a worthless sack of crap. You will find her, your tua cantate.

:loveya:

:hug:

[billyskank]

59. Thanks Midlo

:hug:

But I've just lost all hope now, and I wish I could stop wanting what I don't have. :(

[Dulcinea]

40. Happy.

My DH is getting me a Steelers championship shirt & something chocolate! What more can life offer?

[My Good Babushka]

41. It's the kind of day..

when I have to make sure my son has all his cards filled out and all the lollipops taped in place, so he can have a happy valentine's day party!

[applegrove]

42. I get happy for other people. Doesn't bother me a bit.

[seemunkee]

43. Happy

Started dating my wife on Valentine's day 1976.

[Lucian]

44. I loathe Valentine's Day with a passion.

Whenever I see a picture of Cupid, I want to shoot him right between his goddamn eyes with his goddamn bow and arrow. Wait...I should just shoot him in the leg and make the little fucker suffer. Yeah.

[Lucian]

46. I like my new avatar.

Cupid with an arrow in his back.

[old mark]

45. I love it. All the unsold chocolate candy goes on sale! nt

[JenaLaw]

49. I would like to say 'neither'..

that it is just a Hallmark Holiday and a marketing ploy for flowers and candy...etc


but when all the other ladies at the office start getting gifts from the sweeties of their life...i am a bit sad. And once again i will not have a date this year. Oh well..next year...

[tabbycat31]

50. it's smack singles across the face day

[Shell Beau]

51. It is just another day for me. I do have a Valentine though so I guess

I wouldn't be sad. But, we don't go all out with it. We acknowledge the day with flowers or something.

[Mojambo]

52. I'd say more a mixture of anger and intense spite. n/t

[femmocrat]

53. Neither. Don't care one way or another about it. n/t

[sniffa]

54. It's a day

It'll be on a Saturday so I don't have to work so it's special this year.

We actually may celebrate it this year by going bowling. We've never been together. We're also both terrible at it except for Wii bowling which we're both awesome at.

[alphafemale]

55. I really don't care much at all about that contrived, made-up holiday.

I'll buy a few candies to give to friends at work, but it's not something I'm going to put any emotional drama into one way or the other.

[alphafemale]

56. I really don't care much at all about that contrived, made-up holiday.

(I know it has roots in a somewhat legitimate holiday.) But it has been extended far beyond the point of absurdity.

I'll buy a few candies to give to friends at work, and probably do something special for the hubby but it's not something I'm going to put any emotional drama into one way or the other.

[sfpcjock]

57. I think I get to see my honey, so good thx

And there's always dark chocolate and cappuccino if you don't right now. I think it's a good season to plan in either way O8)

[CharmCity]

58. Kind of sad. Husband dislikes me....

[kedrys]

60. Depends on whether or not the s.o. and I are fighting

It's our anniversary, so it's usually okay. 13 years next weekend. :D
