What valentines means to a single person..
Jump to: Newest in thread
I love the fact I don't have to look around for a card and present for valentines. I can kick back in a department store and watch the men panic buy.
Also on Feb 15th, retailers will sell their chocolate cheaper, so I can buy more and not share it with anyone.   |

There is so much hype with valentines and I think it just puts a huge amount of pressure on people.
I don't particularly like being single at the moment but that has nothing to do with Valentine's Day.  |

Yeah, I have no interest in it. I find it a bit weird that we have a day to celebrate love, surely in a relationship you show your partner you love them all the time?
If I were in a relationship I certainly wouldn't be buying a load of tat, or spending a ridiculous amount on a dinner that would normally cost half the price any other time |

"I love it. Why not?! Buy me flowers, take me for dinner. I'll love it.  "
Just on the one day?
If it takes a certain day of the year for somene to show you how they feel there's something wrong  |

Oh no. I'll want it on the other days too but I'll appreciate and will enjoy the valentines meal and all the extras the restaurants do. Don't see the problem with making someone happy. In return id make sure my date was very very happy |

We never make a massive fuss for valentines day. We have a maximum spend of £20 and but each other gifts we actually want rather than soppy crap that'll go in the bin. We do buy nice cards and have a nice meal though. I think there is far too much hype around it, and I really don't understand people who spend hundreds on flowers and jewellery. Madness haha |

Happier than any other day they show you how much you mean to them?  |

We ignore it but one thing that gets me;- people moan about being single on Valentine's day and say it's for the couples... Wasn't the whole point of Valentine's day for singletons to let their crushes know how they feel (even if it's anonymous?).
I mean, where's the fun in getting cards and gifts from your partner? Wouldn't it be much more interesting to get something anonymous from, say, the postman or the stalker down the road?

"Just another day.."
I agree, Valentine's is just another day, another money making thing.
If your with someone you don't need Valentine's Day to show affection, you can do all time!

I don't see point in sending anonymous to people though?
What's the point if you are never going to make it known. You may as well bite the bullet and take the chance! |

It means fuck all to me as a single and never meant anything when I was in relationships, it's a farce and a money making scam...I'd much prefer receiving little tokens (not material things) or gestures of love throughout the year rather than it all being on one day of the year for the sake of keeping up with everyone else or appearances! But yes, if I don't get birthday presents, I will flip my lid!!! |

that would depend on whether the other occasions had as much thought put into them...
I think the issue is that in long relationships the romance tends to dwindle. And this is an easy opportunity to take advantage of. And if the man doesn't take the opportunity given to him on a plate, I think he's a mug.
I like detail. My favorite restaurant would put my favorite dessert in a heart shaped dish on Valentine's for instance. I appreciate touches like that.

There's something fun about anonymity, but yes, it does need to be seen through at some point.
I remember giving one of my mates a bollocking when he bought 40 red roses for a girl he liked but never owned up to it.
A chancer then took credit for it and she ended up with him.
He's a hopeless romantic but is shy and that hinders him. |

To be perfectly honest if you need a special day to tell a partner / girlfriend / boyfriend / wife or husband how you feel about them your sort of missing the point really.
Feel sorry for some folk who may feel lonely brought about largely by marketing hype
Swinging is the answer !!!
Maybe we should have a st. Swingers day !! |

never been one for it, i just think its a way for making us spend unnecessary money. I dont see why you need a special day to tell someone you love them etc, you can do that any day
ill be spending it this year with something i love, in a club listening to trance, haha |

id rather spend a little on the day than spend nothin on the day at least receiving something makes them kinda special to you as well as them
but i have been known to do a meal before or just after the time of valentines day but i always get something on the day
as much as over the years i have sent enough people some loverly poems to them on valentines day even though i dont know them at all
to me its the thought that counts the most and i have made some peoples days much more special on the day |

It means that on the 15th at 19:00 the co-operative (who do nice bouquets that last ages by the way) they reduce the flowers to the maximum reduction. Last year I bought myself a £20 bouquet for 6 quid!
I'll have my friends daughter again so my friend can do something with her bf and we (my daughter and I) will all go out for a meal then home to watch disney films, (they're 6 and 5 years old!) |

Never and will never be into this... single or not i just think its bollocks!
If you love someone tell and show them daily. Not once a year and be all lovey dovey in hope you get a present and card that turns out to be what you didn't really want!
Or buy something in hope you get a shag. |

I have sent a dozen red roses and a card three times in the past to 3 different girls i fancied but nothing ever came of it, seems like a waste of time and a waste of money so i don't bother anymore. |

If I ever get with someone and it seems serious, I will make it very clear that valentines/Christmas/New Years/birthday proposals will be declined |
