Of course most Aspies are gonna feel lonely on 2/14, I'm gonna be one of them.

My fellow lonely Aspies: Get used to it.

I'm going to be lonely on Valentine's Day for the rest of my life! I'm also NEVER EVER going to so much as have a woman as even an acquantaince...despite having crushes on females ever since I was in preschool.

Yes, a lot of us have dirty minds.

Why do you get depressed around that date? because there is some rubbish that tv is pushing down our throats - you know, that on the 14th you need a partner or you are a loser.

why not just plan to do something by yourself that day. Go on holiday, go meet family, go to the cinema and watch a film

Its not the television that causes my depression-though it does have a large influence on the problem. Why I get more depressed on this day then any other is that people will not leave me alone about it. What I mean by that is anything slandering my lonliness(I.e "YOU DONT HAVE A GIRLFRIEND! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH,"etc.) That type of stuff happens to me so much that I've just come to hate the topic of "Romance" itself. I know this isn't normal, But I want to know if theres a way to logically counter this problem.

I despise St Valentines day with a passion. It wouldn't bother me that I've never had a card, but when I was at school there was a "postal service" run by one of the classes that would deliver cards to other students for a nominal fee which was given to charity. Everyone went wild about it and sent lots of them (it was a bit of fun for charity, after all). Each year every pupil would send and receive at least 6 of them and line them up on their desks. Mine was the only empty desk in the class, and the cards I sent were usually put in the bin if the recipient figured out who they were from (pretty easy, my hand writing was attrocious). I know this is whiny bitching compared with being married to someone who doesn't love you, but it did really hurt. All the commercial fuss and lovey-doveyness displayed at this time of year just serves to remind me that I'm still not worth the effort.

Though I'm younger and not mature enough for marriage(by my standards alone), I have to agree with r_mc here. though the situation is different and the influence of Tv is a bit more crude, Its this pain I feel everytime I hear the word "love." I've had thoughts that many others think are pure insanity. For example, I had a thought recently about severing EVERY relationship I had with the opposite gender. It wouldn't mean I'm a homosexual(no offense to all who may be) or anything, but I just think that if I'm not made to have a lover than I won't have a relationship with any woman period...

It seems stupid but once you think about it from this point of view, it starts to make more and more sense. . .

I won't be lonely for Valentine's Day at all. In fact, I'd rather spend it alone, too much work, money and stress to actually go out a celebrate it.

Feb 14 is a day marked off on a calendar for business' to make a little extra money. In REALITY, this day is the same as every other day. Its actually a farce. I dont think I'd need a day to "love" someone. :roll:

Fragg Valentine's Day. It currently seems to exist to sell hallmark cards, flowers, candy, etc. basically serving as an economy booster. Oh and to make single people feel lonely, and spread the color pink everywhere. I'm a hopeless romantic who couldn't get a date to save his life...it's kinda hard to not dislike it. I'm someone who's wanted terribly to have a relationship for a long time, but it just never happens because the few girls I'm attracted to just never feel the same way.

That said, Singles Awareness Day sounds like fun.

I don't bother about Valentine's Day. Even if I had a girlfriend, I still wouldn't care. The only real excuse that it exists to such an extent as it does these days is to make money out of people.

I'm going to be feeling a little down, but for different reasons. I have been married to a beautiful woman for over twenty years. She recently told me she doesn't love me and never has. She said I'm a nice guy and all, but she knew she made a mistake when she married me. She feels trapped in our marriage because of finances and children and religion. So on Valentine's day, when you feel lonely, remember that I love someone who doesn't love me - she never has and likely never will. Where do you find a "I love you but I know it hurts you to know it" card? She'd rather be lonely then be with me. She admits to being the 'bad guy', and wants out. I feel so bad for her, and for me too. :cry:

I can really sympathize with you. Here's some *hugs* if you want them.

I'm in pretty much the same situation, except in my case we've only been married 6½ years. My husband announced on New Year's eve that he hasn't been happy in the relationship for a long time because it finally got to the point where he couldn't take it any more. A couple of weeks after that, he said he wants to separate. He's moving out at the end of the month. I don't expect him to ever come back.
