To all singles: how did you cope with valentine day?

I had to work on Valentines evening so I didnt have any problems keeping my mind off of it. I spent Sunday with friends that are also single so I wasnt really alone. I guess it would be harder to be around someone thats getting lots of gifts, just try to be happy for your sister, you will get yours when the time is right! Hugs, Tianna

I took myself to a nice fancy restaurant in the centre of the City, and gave myself a nice buffet dinner. That was very enjoyable. There was a live band music too which added to Valentines day entertainment.

Don't think about it too much. I just did a little bit of homework, spent some time on the computer, played some video games, ate and......that's about it. Just keep yourself busy and don't pay attention to others. Well, I was all by myself, so I guess that makes it easier. :* I locked myself inside my humble abode all day!

I am single for a long time and valentine's day is just an ordinary for me. You know it is only a normal day and all these fussy things about being so special during valentine's day is just a state of the mind. Valentine's day can be celebrated with love ones and close friends. I spent it with my closest friends, we were having dinner together and had such fun.

I coped with it just fine. I had the whole day to myself, relaxing and chilling. I think being single is nothing on Valentine's Day after I've spend some Valentine's Day alone when I was married.

well usually in my group of close girlfriends we will get eachother valentine's day cards or candies and that makes it a little better. I usually will just spend the day at home or with another one of my single friends at home. I really liked that it was on a Saturday this year and I basically just stayed home with the family all day. At least it's only once a year...

i never thing about it. it is just another day. only needy people think about that stuff. i am too much to think about than think about valentines, st patricks, halloween, presidents day, etc, i forgot the rest. live your life on what you want to do with it, not the commercial version of what society wants you to do with your life. it is your life, not what others dictate because of commercial crap to make you spend for the hell of it...

hii...it was like just another day in my life...i went about my routines asusual..in the evening i went for dinner with my friends..i am fine being single..but one day i will celebrate the valentines day with my partner and then i'l let you know the experience...as of now its an ordinary day for me as am single...

although i'm single i'm still happy during the 14th of february why? because of the several greetings i received from my email, friendster account, friends in real world. some treat me for a dinner..i'm still complete being single...no need to have a good relationship to have a good valentines day...valentines day are not for couple only it's for all.

Well I am single myself and an confirmed bachelor at that. Valentine's Day was not much of a craze when I was a teenager (neither did I have any so-called girl friend even then). But I do love the young generation celebrating this day; i do wish however they would not over do it; because separating after all the 'love you', 'kiss you' etc.... can be traumatic to many. I remember a young girl who talked to me one night over phone, for over 3 hours choking over sobs and tears and sharing with me the pain at having been rejected by her boyfriend. As I was quietly listening to her I was thinking about the uselessness of such OVER-SPONTANEOUS SHOW OF LOVE, if there was no substance in the emotions and promises... Such pain that tears a heart out............. Today it seems that it is so easy to proclaim loudly about one's love, but what is the use if it fail miserably the moment life puts that love to test, as it always will? All commitments are forgotten, not an iota of sacrifice or patience are seen...only the thought of making ONE OWN SELF HAPPY remains, and the moment the real question of responsibity/care/support for the partner comes, the so-called love vanishes. It is so much better if we show out love by our care, support and perseverence for one another. Chocolates may be there but only as an accessory that is not at all necessary. Mutual regard, support and sacrifices are the real chocolates.

I thought it's not that depressing. Usually, I sleep more. And when my friends go out with their girlfriend. Then it's my time. I will invite some single friends to my place spending the valentine's day together. Actually, if you can enjoy the day with your friends, it's not bad. I mean, single doesn't mean you are really single. You can still feel happy without staying with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Just relax.
