Okay...so this is the first Valentines Day I am actually dreading, for a couple reasons.
1) This is the first Valentines I actually care that I don't have anyone to share it with and
2) There is this cute couple in one of my classes that I sit by (he always gives her shoulder massages or plays with her hair--Jealous!), and I have the class on Mondays...so I just know it's going to suck that much more to see them on Valentines Day. And I wouldn't be surprised if she came in with flowers, or some cute present from him....*sigh*
Anyone else out there dreading Valentines Day like I am?

It may be better to get the Valentine's day idea out of your mind. It's just a date on the calendar. It's Valentine's day because you allow another person to tell you it is Valentine's day. But it really is just any other day. When you have someone to call hunny in future, everyday is Valentine's day.
Hey, maybe it's perfect excuse for you to skip class for a day although I won't recommend you to. That would just be like running away from the problem.
Come to myLot, so many of us will date you while you are in here.

I understand it's just a calender day, like all the rest. But I guess it bums me out a little because everyone who does have someone is going to show it one way or another, whether they are carrying around flowers, balloons, or a giant teddy bear.
I can't skip class that day We have an assignment due lol.

I am definitely dreading Valentine's Day. Everyone in my inner circle has a special someone but myself. I often think I must be defective or unlovable. They say there is someone for everyone out there but I'm beginning to think that does not apply to me. I have even tried online dating and that went nowhere fast. It has been years since I have been in a relationship, so the answer is YES I am dreading Valentine's Day.

I feel like you! All I seem to attract are pigs, or nice guys that I,unfortunately, don't feel that way about. I wish I could meet my 'one' fast!
I could never do online dating, to shy and I probably would never get the courage to meet up with someone.

I'm over that sort of stuff. I never really "celebrated" it anyway. The meaning is all mskewed and the event is over commercialised.
Don't fret over it sweety, you're really not missing anything. Send me your email addy in a PM and I'll send you something cute to make you laugh.

Awww, you sweet little chickadee! I don't want you to be sad.
You are soooo young and so bubbly, and have so much going for you right now, it just breaks my heart to hear you are so down in the dumps.
I haven't celebrated Valentine's day in 15 years..I've been divorced that long and I'm better off for it, so it doesn't matter to me. For Christmas I always buy myself a gift to give to me, from me, haha. I think for Valentine's day you should buy yourself some flowers and put them all around the house and cheer yourself up. Flowers in the house are just beautiful at this time of the year and brighten up the house. Go to the movies with a girlfriend. There has to be someone you know who does not have a significant other. Or, go out to dinner. Call an old friend, rent an old movie...just do something to take your mind off this. Your turn will come, I promise you.

I think most married men would be dreading Valentine's day. As this is another one of those not-so-real holidays that greeting card companies would like to make special. That if they don't do something for their wives, they'd get he11 for it. I think love shouldn't just be celebrated in one day, it should be everyday.
Maybe you'll get lucky and the class may be called off.

I usually do, but what I do sometimes now is do something special for myself. Since no one does anything for me, I do. On your way to school drop by a store a by yourself a few roses and carry them around and if anyone ask who got them, say I'm not sure.
Or say you did. Who says it has to be someone else that gets you something. We can get something for us. I do!
Buy yourself something you been wanting, I do! This will help lighten your mood, it does mine. lol

I am sorry to hear that you will be spending Valentine's Day by yourself. I have been there many times before also and it is not a good feeling to spend it alone instead of with a partner or something. I have my husband to spend it with this year and I am very grateful for it.

I've been with my husband 10 years now.. married for 8. We rarely celebrate Valentine's day anymore. It's over rated and commericalized. I know how you feel though. I was just like you all through high school. Always so jealous of the other girls who had boyfriends and walked around school with flowers and stuffed teddy bears. It was difficult. Seriously Valentine's day is a big crock! Like I said, it's all about commercialism and I refuse to feed into it. I love my husband every day of the year, I don't need a special day to show him that.
