Been alone every single Vday of my life except one, & she hated Vday too so it was ok. I guess that was the only Vday not tied for worst.

I'm trying to stay on my diet anyway.

I think what they say about women's Libidos getting worse around 30 are true. I've never given a damn until now.

Not one Valentine's Day in my lifetime has been any less horrible than another. Always been single, and something tells me this year won't be an exception. Unless a miracle happens within a week.

I'm flying over to meet the new woman in my life, so will see how it all goes. I'll be travelling by plane, and my problem with them are not because of the air planes themselves, but because of all the questions/answers and unknowns in the airports. I would prefer my journey to be scripted for me, especially when I've never been there. Or someone else present me with the best available options/alternatives. I also think of too many possibilities of how to do one thing. So giving me a plan/scripted version calms me down because then I don't have to search for alternatives. I feel best travelling with someone that can make those decisions for me. I'm surprised as to how confident I feel when I travel with someone and I can make those decisions easier. I think I just need someone where I can bounce my ideas of, to see their point of view first before making a decision.

Then there is also learning all the new names I will have to learn and I dread learning them. I have no problem with direction, but memorising names are my Achilles heel.

I don't really dread Valentine's Day as my relationship problems are year-round. I'll have someone for Valentine's Day, but I expect him to be tired of me in a month or two like the rest. I think it almost hurts more to do these couple's things knowing he won't want me and will start going cold once the novelty is gone than not doing it at all.

No. For whatever reason, I've never really cared much about Valentine's Day as an adult. Weddings, I get a little wishful at, but I'm usually very happy for the couple getting married, because at least someone is capable of that.

Worst VDay was when my grandad died and 14th Feb will always suck.
I've always thought Summer Solstice was more suitable for a festival of romance. February is usually cold and dreadful in the UK and mainland Europe - late June can be pretty awesome with warm evenings, fireflies, flowers all around.

Not really. I used to hate it with a passion, but for the past few years, I have just not really cared. I've missed out on romance for the last 20 years of my life, and whilst I don't like that, I'm in no better position on the 13th or 15th of Feb than I am on the 14th. Vday is just another day to me.

I probably feel worse on my birthday. It's always the marking of another year of the romantic drought that is my life. I watch myself go from an 18 year-old with no romantic experience to a 19 year-old, to a 20 year-old, and this year will be number 21.

Funny enough, my birthday is exactly six months away from Vday. The furthest away it could possibly be.

Meh, to me it's just another workday.

Since I found out I have AS, I've lost interest in NT women anyway.

every minute of every day I endeavour to try and maintain a ''valentines'' state if I am in love with somebody so the notion that it's apparently a day where you're supposed to be more in love and put effort in via consumerism is a silly thing to me, I am not interested in a relationship for a while but I still get down knowing it's not very simple for me to cross into those swirling clouds again and am reminded constantly that others are fortunate enough to be able to be in relationships. On the inside v-day is more annoying than anything, on the outside it's even more grating, the bombardment of it all is like ha you're not involved! We're not targeting a sad sack like you, this is one ad you're not included in and one conversation you're not invited into discussing! But as for the day itself, I don't get why it exists, it's a stupid concept to me yet I'll still buy a damn card and gifts if I romance again despite considering every day a day where I must seek to enrich the one I love! I had trouble in the past feeling upset that I wasn't appreciated for the effort I put in everyday when I was having a rough time around the v-day period so wasn't as peppy as usual in my love, I couldn't understand why so many NON v-days I'd put energy into meant nothing because I wasn't up to going somewhere on the 14th, some nt's apparently hold that day ten miles above other days!
