Well, because I don't know who you are or where you live I'm afraid I can't quite manage that. At the very least you have my condolences from one lonely person to another.Erana said:

No, I'm not lonely. I just like any excuse for a fancy dinner. Lobster tempura, anyone?Vanguard1219 said:
I hate it. It brings out the materialist in people. Two years ago i buy my girl a diamond necklace the day before vday. On said day she asks knowing damn well that the necklace cleaned me out "so what you get me for vday?" She was never seen again.
This was true up untill the last part. I actually broke up with her. She was so angry that she gave the necklace back to me and i was able to sell wo some guy for twice what i paid for it! It was a win win... for me at least =D.

I for one don't really know any potentials at the moment. I mean, other than my ex-girlfriend, the last girl I dated who's an alcoholic, and another woman I hung out with who is now back with her ex-husand, who just got out of jail for having another wife and lying about it to the IRS.Erana said:
I guess that's what they call a dry spell.
And just so you know, Erana, if we were in the flesh and you made that comment to me, I'd use it as an opportunity to hit on you. But since we're online and cyber-flirting is sort of extremely creepy, I'll resist the reflex.
What's lobster tempura, anyway?
I still can't get a guy to save my life and from the girls POV. It's a day where guys go out of they're way to be nice assuming that they're gonna get some that night...
Hmm. That DOES sound pretty good. I should try that some time.Erana said:
And as far as your response to the first part - that's okay. Your perplexity is the equivalent to an uneasy glare, which is the response I usually get when I make a move. If you'd reacted differently, THEN I'd be worried.
This probably explains the dry spell a bit too, doesn't it?
Well, either way, I still like Valentine's Day. It's the only day of the year when you'll see guys lining up to get those cheap condoms out of the gas station vending machine. I should take a camera phone in there some year.
Because I'm mature.
I hear you, mate.Sipher107 said:It always sucks when the girl you want to be with is with their boyfriend on vday...
like for me this year
im glad im not the only one who hates valentines day..
I just hate it because I've never had a girlfriend on Valentine's Day. Other times yes, but not on that one day. However, I still believe in it, because I'm a romantic at heart and would love to spend that day with that special someone. It just hasn't happened yet.
Bah, the day always seemed quite pointless to me. Then again, I'm terribly bitter, even for a single person. Aside from that, in my current age group, valentine's day doesn't seem to mean crap to anyone. Oh well, out of sight, out of mind in my case. Call me ambivalent to the holiday's existence.
I love valentines day when it actually falls on a day that i'm dating someone which it wont this year by the looks of it. But its a great excuse to cook a fancy dinner for someone, lay out some candles and generally be a sappy romantic for an evening.
I think the gifts think on valentines is abit silly, unless you count cooking dinner and a cake a gift.

This is kind of a weird day for me. My marrige anniverary is very close to valentines day and me and the wifey have agreed to celebrate both on the same day. I don't like the commercialism aspects of it. How guys are supposed to feel obligated to get presents and chocolate etc. But if you have a girl that doesn't expect all that and is happy that you let her know she is special to you with just a homemade card I think you have a keeper.
I think valentine's day is what you make it. It's only materialistic if you focus on the whole buying thing etc... And if you're alone (read: lonely)on that day - that is, you don't even have any friends to be with - do things you enjoy. Make a nice meal for yourself, play games, watch a film... And if all else fails you can always get out and throw pebbles at couples, it is wonderfully therapeutic.
Valentine's Day can bring out both the best and the worst in people. It can genuinely inspire couples who are distracted by everyday responsibilities like jobs and kids to take time out to spend some time together and remember why they're together in the first place. It's very easy to take your mate for granted when you've been together for a long time, so it's nice to get that reminder to say "Oh, yeah, I remember you." every now and again. (See also: anniversaries.)
On the other hand, it can turn women into horrible, savage, demanding bitches. I suppose theoretically it might do that to men, too, but I've never seen a guy screaming at his girl for "not doing enough" for him for Valentine's Day. I've seen women handed diamonds and roses and sneer "That's it?" because apparently you measure thoughtfulness and caring in dollars and cents. Who knew?

The card and candy companies tell us that Valentines Day is a special day to be kind and generous and loving mushy-wushy whatnot feelings and stuff, because they think that we believe that the best way to show affection and whatever crap is to buy candy, flowers, and a $7 card that just says "Happy Valentines Day. (insert generic poem/saying/greeting/money here)". If you REALLY had icky girly eh what feelings for someone, wouldn't you act all lovey affectionately every day, not just Valentines Day? Is there something special about that day that I don't understand? Valentines Day is more like recharging batteries. Just when you think they're about to die, you stick them back into the recharger or whatever it's called, and you get a couple more days to try to get laid and find someone else who won't constantly talk about how intuitive their cats are.
None of your poll options suit me and valentines day, My girl and I don't really get into it lol we both acknowledge it as a hallmark holiday but we still go out for a romantic dinner that night usually 
We dont spend money on pointless gifts to prove we love each other since its just the same as any other day.
So in your poll id choose " I dont really care but me and my partner do something romantic/sweet just for the heck of it anyway"

I'm a bit of a romantic softy, so I don't mind the idea of a day devoted to that special someone. Unfortunately I have yet to actually hang on to a special someone until valentine's day rolls around.
Ahh, the ever-hated Valentine's day. Funny that my last relationship ended on Valentine's day (although the reason had nothing to do with Valentine's day itself).
Man, Valentine's Day is ridiculous, especially in elementary school. Everybody gets cards from everybody for no reason at all (unless there's some highly elusive reason for straight guys to be getting cards from other straight guys).
