Hey everybody

Single and alone this valentine's day? Don't fret, so are a lot of us!
I believe that a little humility once in a while is a good thing and this is the thread just for it.

Post your videos, forever alones, or whatever!
And remember, love stinks ;)

To be honest I've never felt any pressure about being single during Valentine's Day since where I come from it's mostly about celebrating having friends, not that special someone. When I was a kid everyone gave their friends Valentine's Day cards in school, too. I don't know if kids these days do that, though.

So, if you're single you can celebrate with your single friends. :heart:

Meh... I just need to stop working so damn hard and give meetup groups a few more tries.

Only after failing that would I consider sinking $$ into designing and building my very own custom lovebot.

Most of my life has been single during Valentine's day, but I refuse to be bitter about it. I am happy for all those in love that get to celebrate it today. Maybe it is commercialized, but I don't see the harm in reminding lovers to reaffirm their bonds for one another.

This is really more-so how I look at this day; it's not limited to so-called couples or exclusive-relationships;
send a greeting (and/or) card to your buddies, your brothers and sisters, and even if you're an isolated only child like myself, you can even send a Valentine-Greetings (and/or) card to whole entire groups of people !

Why, I even though up something amusing, and that is to make a Valentine's Card/Greeting that you then print out from a Laser-Printer on Stock-Paper (or cardboard-paper or whichever kind of paper it is that has the same thickness of your typical greeting card that you might get from a store), make hundreds of copies, then go about walking through anywhere with lots of business(es), hand them to all of the workers/store-owners/managers/etc.

Valentine's Day is bull. Just like Halloween. A day to make money off of candy and flowers.

Only holidays that matter are Thanksgiving , Christmas and Easter. FAMILY TIME. Religious time. FORGET THE COMMERCIAL !

I accidentally forgot what day it was and might have interrupted a date by texting them. I've never celebrated Valentine's Day, so I always forget about timing my messages around then.
