Happy Valentine's singletons! Now let's get pissed!

[Idlemessiah]

Hey in the UK it's not been V-day for almost 4 hours. I didn't even notice. I think the only time it was even mentioned today was when my flatmate said we probably shouldn't go to the cinema till tomorrow as it'd be packed out with couples.

Probably also helps that I don't go clubbing. Nightclubs are a nightmare on valentine's day. Actually nightclubs are a nightmare any time IMO.

Now, to destroy the French!

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

Feh, I prefer to see today as "Singles' Awareness Day".

Bonus if your a misanthrope! ^.^

 

[Phlakes]

Wait, that's today? I thought it was Mass Effect 3 Demo Day. Good thing there's no one whose present I could've forgotten.

 

[Silent Anima]

I'm too tired to get pissed. Maybe later. Meh, I'm too young to really care about getting in a relationship right now. Well, it's not so much lack of caring. Not too many of my peers are mature enough to have a relationship yet.

The captcha called me cute! =3 I think it's hitting on me.

 

[Right Hook]

Hey man, it's all good, I had two test today, don't think I bombed either one, I'm feeling good now, you all take 'er easy for me, I know you will.

 

[natster43]

Not getting drunk as I don't drink often and am going to sleep. Stupid laws against drinking under the age of 21. I actually had a pretty good day despite being single. Well cheers everyone else.

 

[RatRace123]

I've got a fever. So in addition to being forever alone, my head is now very hot.
So, yeah that makes me pissed. Maybe not for the whole forever alone thing, but I'm pissed off today anyway.

 

[Fijiman]

Spoiler: I can survive Valentines Day without being bothered at all because...

I don't and can't drink so that option is out of the question. I am, however, pissed in the American sense of the word. Was only able to use my computer (using laptop right now) for about five minutes before the internet decided to become stupid and not wouldn't work for about an hour and a half at which point I just decided to turn the dumb thing off.

 

[Berithil]

My day pretty much went: get up, go to work all day, come home, eat dinner and watch some tv/ get on the internet, go to bed. Tomorrow: get up, go to work all day, come home, eat dinner and watch some tv/ get on the internet, go to bed.

Meh, Valentines day is just another day for me. As I'm single by choice, it doesnt really hold anything for me, and I go through the day without suffering from the common morose state many singles are plagued by.

 

[NoOne852]

Eh, today just went by. I am at the usual point of the day now where I don't really want to do anymore homework, video games aren't really appealing this late, and I am left with figuring out how to spend my time.
I was reading Katawa Shoujo in times like this, but I read through that so now I need something else to occupy my spacious mind. Perhaps I shall look for some more reading material.

 

[Sandytimeman]

You guys shouldn't feel too bad. I've been in the same relationship for eight years and have yet to be surprised with anything on Valentine's Day by my boyfriend v:

Well hopefully he is doing something right to get you to stick around! :3 I made a Valentine for a person I like...but pathetically, they arn't even home tonight for me to give them.

and before anyone asks, yes its a pygmy goat...idk she likes them! xD

 

[Axyun]

Well my friend, I do drink for the taste and enjoy some quality single-malt whiskey. And I hate being drunk so I only drink one small glass and call it quits for the day.

I'm single but I'm happy. I can't stand people and have no desire to be in a relationship. I value my freedom and do not wish to compromise it.

Cheers

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

Meh. I can't drink, so I'm just curling up with a 3DS and a new copy of Tales of the Abyss tonight.

I don't like alcohol, anyway.

 

[Loop Stricken]

So, turns out I didn't drink nearly as much as I'd planned.
I guess I didn't care all that much, in the end.

... I don't remember what I have been doing for the past, what, seven hours, but it didn't involve getting up from my chair, it seems.

Alas.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Loads of singles on Valentine's Day.
What actually bothers me most is that all the girls get each other cool stuff like chocolate and crap, just cos they're friends. How come THEY get to get cool stuff even when they're single? How come culture means I can't get or give anything cool from my guy friends on this day?
*shakes fist*

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Eh, it wasn't as depressing as I thought it would be. It might be that I finally don't even care anymore, so.....yay?

I just worked in the morning, went to the gym, went back to work, and ate some dinner. For the past hour or so I've just been drinking Guinness and traveling around the internet, very exciting day that I've been having.

 

[Klagermeister]

I'm single, but I had a Valentine.
My 2 friends and I sang "The Longest Time" for her on her doorstep, followed by a flower bouquet.
She thought it was really sweet. And so the relationship seed has been sown...

 

[Sonicron]

... Oh look, I missed it! As always!

For people like me who're not in a relationship and really not that bothered by it, yesterday was Tuesday, and that's all. So, no reason to get shitfaced - especially seeing how I'm in the middle of this semester's exam phase.

You guys shouldn't feel too bad. I've been in the same relationship for eight years and have yet to be surprised with anything on Valentine's Day by my boyfriend v:

Wow, your life sounds hard. Your boyfriend isn't spontaneous enough to meet your expectations for a made-up holiday monopolized on to sell chocolate and flowers? And I thought my life is hard, you know, being a social pariah and all.

I'm almost 30 and Valentine's Day reminds me that I spent the better part of the past decade in a relationship with someone who has never shown me any real thoughtfulness, whether on special occasions or day-to-day. It's depressing because it's something I know not to expect with him. It's depressing because I have no expectations at all. I don't need flowers or chocolate, but feeling appreciated is always nice.

You lament being a social pariah, but what would you want in a relationship, if not affection or knowing that you are appreciated? This confuses me.
