Valentine's Day is coming around again and...

Post Reply New Topic

I will be as miserable as ever as I've never had a friend that's a girl, a friend, not a girlfriend, a friend. I feel like I am slipping into a bad way as I just keep eating and eating. I know I have a problem but when you constantly grab another Bagel and then leftovers from dinner without even thinking about it what do you do? I think I've gained 20 lbs. since Thanksgiving and I am now out of shape.

I'm just sick of feeling like I am inferior to girls and I have no idea how to talk to them...How do lonely guys cope with not having someone in their life come Valentine's Day...I just hurt so much right now, especially when I see all the love on Valentine's Day going on and I can't experience it.

f**k valentine's day.

I never had one with anyone so don't feel alone.

It's just one of those days created as an excuse to buy crap for someone you think you're in love with.

But I still hope you don't look at life as miserable as you do. I don't think it's too bad being single then again, our culture makes it seem so.

I am just focused on the candy. For me, V-Day is a dress rehearsal for Easter (my favorite candy holiday).

I heard St. Valentine used to write love letters to a 9 year old girl he had an infatuation with while he was in prison. It was the warden's daughter.

I don't care if I have an actual girlfriend but I'm sick of feeling lonely, I try so hard but I just don't know how to do it and I have no confidence, no self-esteem, and no social skills (because I feel like I'm a undiagnosed aspie) and I have lost motivation to do everything

Before that it started as an ancient roman pagan tradition.

Men would put their names in a box and girls would pick the names. Then which ever name was picked, the girl would sleep with the guy who's name was chosen for a whole day.

The christians decided to change it to celebrate the St. Valentine. So instead of picking cards up for sex, they picked up cards of what the saint would've done and then incorporate the very acts the saint did into their day.

Meh...christians always ruin the fun.

Valentine's day is a pretty senseless holiday and if I had a girlfriend, I might ask her what she thinks of it with a view to not do anything special on that day (unlike more personally relevant dates such as the anniversary of our first date or something). So it doesn't really bother me being single on Valentine's day much more than any other day.

I don't understand why people even care about valentines day. I've never had anyone special on valentines day all my life, and even if I did, it wouldn't mean sh*t.. just another day.

I was wondering when yet another valentines day thread would turn up this year.

It sucks not having anyone in general if you want them, but please don't let something stupid like valentines day get you down... I mean is it really that important?

You could always celebrate Singles Awareness Day (SAD) on that day if you want.

My Friend. I feel for you. I will be wearing black,
on this, The Day Of Doom.

I wish you to find peace and comfort on The
Day Of Doom, in spite of its darkness.

I wear black for you, on this 14 Feb,
The Day Of Doom.

May your soul find peace.
