is having a partner really matters?

I am not involved in any relationship and i never get tensed about it. I am living my life happily and it does not bother me whether i have love or not. I will be in college on 14th.... have a nice time.

Having a partner for Valentine's Day is a small thing; having a partner for life is something far better. I've had my life's partner for forty-five years, counting the two we dated. I could care less about Valentine's Day. What counted to me was having a partner who said I love many times a day, touched me every time we drew near each other, kissed me in the mornings as though we had been gone for years instead of asleep for hours. Having that same beautiful husband give me two wonderful children, be willing to work to support them, and attend their special functions, as well as encourage me in my chosen work, can hardly be replaced with a once-a-year romantic card or a box of candy. Enjoy yourself - it is just another day. Fortunately, every day since meeting my Bruce has been Valentine's Day.

I don't think that it is an absolute must to have a partner in life. I lived many years without a partner and didn't even envisage getting into a relationship, but then one day,I met somebody and we got into a relationship. It happened spontaneously. I enjoy being in the relationship very much, but if we had never met, then what I didn't know, I wouldn't have missed. Not everybody feels the way I feel, but I also know single people who are quite content to be living alone and some even prefer it that way.. _Derek

I guess it depends on the person. On my case, it doesn't really matter to me whether I have a partner or not. Though it's nice to have one and to get the feeling that someone loves you and takes care of you, for me having a partner just sometimes adds up to my problem. Even I already got into a relationship once, but like you, I am contented with everything - I got the craziest but the best and very loving family and I got friends who always makes me comfortable and feel secure wherever I go. On the contrary, I have a friend who prefers being in a relationship rather than staying single. And to answer your question, no, you're not acting weird. I think it's normal to have that kind of observation especially to people like us who's happy being single. I also find it weird that whenever Valentines is coming, people will start looking for a partner so that they can spend Feb. 14 with that special someone. Others don't wanna be called losers or something like that by not having a date on that day. Being in a relationship takes a lot of responsibility most especially with your partner. I think people should take time to know each other before getting into that stage. It's a process. Advance Happy Valentines to all! :))

I don't have a partner and don't care to! I am so much better with out one in my life! I like being by myself! I don't have all the worries other people have who have partners! I have had relationships but I learnt I wanted to be alone! Sure it is lonely at times but I deal with it! Relationships are so hard and I have failed with to many! My life is simple and I like it that way!

I don't think it is a big deal if you do not have a partner or aren't in a relationship even on valentine's day. We shouldn't rush into a relationship just because everyone else around us has a partner. We can still be ocntent even if we are single. It is important that we find someone we are compatible with, someone who is the right person for us, someone we love and care about and who loves us back. It might be that we haven't found that someone special yet but they will come our way at the right time so we should wait and we can still enjoy valentine's day with our friends and family

lil toni tomrrow is for every one so sure it does not matter. I did not marry til I was 32 and it was a great and happy marriage too.I turned down a lot of frogs but was glad I had.you will meet Mr right at the right time and the right place so enjoy being single

I don't think that it's a huge deal if you don't have a partner. I don't think that it matters. I think that you can be just as happy, whether you have a partner or not.

I honestly think that whether you mind having/not having a partner genuinely depends on what kind of person you are. Some people are perfectly happy not having a partner and would actually prefer to be on their own for the whole of their lives, whereas others could never bear not having a partner, and the thought of such a thing would drive them crazy. Personally, I think that I need a partner because I want children and would never want them to be brought up in a single parent family as that might be a little bit stressful for them.

Though I am in a relationship still I do not think its mandatory to have a valentine partner.

It does not matter for me at all if I have a partner or not. I have passed all the valentines day till now alone and I never had felt anything odd or bad. I have also seen my friends who have their partners and being troubled by them almost whole year. The valentines day is probably the only day they looks happy ( leaving the starting days of the relationship of course because at the starting every thing looks perfect). I think I wont be able to handle so much trouble throughout the year for just one day. I am happy being a single ( at least till now).

greeting to my dear friend... yeah:) valentine is day to be with your partner.partner is not only sharing all ours sweet memories as well as sharing ours sad things. we can say that he/she is our mirror. they cry when we are sad they enjoy a lot when we are happy. so celebrating with them is most happiest day for all... as you said for every thing there will be a suitable time. may be that time is not came in your life till now...enjoy your single

I'm single too,for many years, and I can tell you it does get lonely, but after awhile I realized that I'm single because I'm not in love with anyone. Romantic love is something that comes every once in awhile. So, if it doesn't come than it's a normal feeling. Love is not a normal feeling compared to other feelings. There's nothing else like it, so you should definitely feel normal. It's being in love that's not normal. If it comes, it's wonderful & unique & rare. If it doesn't come, it's normal, typical and easy. Love can be hard to handle. I think you have to be in love to be in that kind of relationship. You should never be pressured by anybody to have a partner, even by someone who loves you. 'You' have to be in love too, not just the other. True love is a rare thing, and many people have been lucky in that way. Many people are just typical. They should just accept it. It's not a sad situation. There are other things in life that are are just as important, if not more. Love is a feeling & you have to 'feel' it to be in a love relationship. If not, ce sera sera (KAY-SEH-RAH).

For me, Having a partner is important. Not because Valentine's Day is approaching but because it is one way for you to feel about being a human. If you have a partner it is a fulfillment. Living alone in this kind of world wherein people are getting more selfish is disgraceful. However, finding a partner is not as easy as you thought. Everyone can claim that they have a partner but did they really have the partner that will understand and support them in every obstacle and trial that they will face in life. Don't just get a partner to say that you have one, get a partner that fits to you, that will stay to you for the rest of your lives. Again, it is not easy but rest assure that their is someone out there waiting for you. GoodLuck!!!

Hahaha. I think it doesn't matter. Though of course its better if we have partners especially during valentines day. Even during ordinary days. It's different when you have no one to turn to when you need someone. I mean when in times of troubles or when you are down due to some reasons. Although it's a choice. If we choose to be single then its fine. As long as we are happy with it.

it is good that you are happy being single. I also do not know why having no date or partner during valentines day is a big deal for some people. Before, When I was still single, I am also happy and contented being with my friends during valentines day. I think it is more fun when you are with your friends that your lover. As I have observed, people who are afraid of having no partner or lover during valentines day are those people who are single and belong to a group of people who already in a relationship. I think sometimes it has something to do with peer pressure.

Having a partner in your life is a good thing. You will be more confident, happy, you have more dedication, and inspiration. When you are down you always have someone in your side to support and give you strength. Your family is there, which is good also. Partner + family + friends = ? Think about it ! :)
