yeah, i am currently a girl with NBSB... so far, everything is fine, i'm happy. But then Valentine's is coming again- it's going to be quite an awkward day, since i will be in school the entire day watching all those lovey dovey couples. I am happy for them though. good thing my friend also do not have current bf/gf..

Hello lady1993, I think this valentines is just another for you to spend money and commercialized to oblige every one to buy products for your love one. It's the trend now a days, but it can be akward to. honestly, if you don't feel like looking for some one, then don't. there are times for people who are literally "not looking" if not then you have time more for your self. though lonely, but not alone, besides, you have freedom deciding every thing for yourself.

It's not bad if you can't find the best man in your life. I don't know how old are you but if you think to be single entire of your life and be lonely after your reach the old age.
The bible said that being a single is a good thing but much be better to have partner to fulfill the commandments of God.

I guess you are still very young and would have lots of chance to meet your price. Valentine is not celebration for lovers only. We could celebrate the occasion together with our good friends, or siblings or family, etc. You could celebrate it romantically with your loved one after you have met the right person. Wish you all the best and good luck

I think there is nothing wrong if you do not have any boy friend. On Valentin's day, if you wish you could pamper yourself and go for a lavish treat with your other friends and could gift yourself some goodies.

I'm 35 and never had a girl friend, and never found the need.
If anything I find the concept that you need a boy friend to be happy, rather sad. You can't be happy without a guy? Then you want be happy with a guy. Guys are crazy.
You get with a guy and then you are miserable. Then you break up, and are miserable, and find another guy and are miserable, and repeat over and over.
The best thing you can do is learn to be happy... just be happy. If you get a guy later, peachy. Otherwise, peachy.
And instead of being jealous of others, be happy for them. I am glad every time I hear someone has a great marriage. It never occurred to me to feel "awkward" about it. Why should I be against their happiness?
Never be the person that can't be happy, when other people are happy. That's a bad place to be.

Suggestion. Why not have a " Thank G-d I'm Single" Valentines Bash. Get all your friends together and have a great party. And only invite single people.

NBSB? Ugh! I would be doing something about that. Online or whatever. Patty Stanger was on lastnight saying that online isn't bad. That it gives you an opportunity to screen people. Do you know what you are looking for in a man? What kind of guy you are attracted to. What type of person?

I know what you feel. I had my first boyfriend when I was 25. So you can imagine I was an NBSB too from high school until 24 years old.

When I was growing up, I have to say that this was something that really did bother me because of the fact that I was a late bloomer in many ways when it came to having a relationship. However as I've gotten older, I realize that though Valentine's Day was a holiday that did bother me, it is okay because I didn't have to go through all of the heartache that many people who started dating when they were younger had to go through during the course of their lives.

There's nothing wrong with being free of a relationship. Many are very happy that way a good portion of their life. When the right one comes along, your heart will know it so don't fret.

You can still enjoy that Valentine's Day even without a boyfriend. You must be thankful that your friends has no gf/bf also. lol. I think you and your friends can have a date , a group date to be specific. That is more fun. I am not celebrating Valentines Day also because I am in a long distance relationship. It is impossible, maybe through phone only.

Well you have a choice whether to remain single or to be in love with somebody.. it is nice to be single specially when you are still studying because you can focus on your studies.. you don't have to worry and think of other things other than your studies.. but then again being inlove is really one of the most amazing feelings we can feel.. we can make it an inspiration to excel more.. it is true that if we are in love we tend to be stupid sometimes so I. Think to be in a relationship you must be matured..

Dont worry about it, you're not the only one who is single on valentines day. And a relationship isn't the only way to be happy.

I hope you experience having a boyfriend soon... but do not fret... there are so many thing you can do this valentine's day... spend it with your friends who are also single... or with your family... my kids, husband, and i plan to just eat out tomorrow... and i remember when i was in high school or college... i did not have a bf then... but that did not deter me from enjoying Valentine's day...

No boyfriend since birth? Well then dear you are not alone so don't despair. It looks like you are still young anyway because you mentioned school. You are still a student? Then if no boyfriend comes your way yet, don't be so disturbed even if you find lovey-dovey couples around. Better concentrate on your studies first and forget about boyfriend. God will give you the best man in due time. Just pray that this best man comes at the right time while you are doing your best with your studies at the same time. No need to worry, you still have plenty of time.
You know what??? My first and last boyfriend came when I was 28. I was so choosy and could not just say yes to a suitor just for the sake of having one so I never had boyfriend when I was in school. Even after school and already working, I could not accept any man who don't suit my taste. But when the right man came along, I did not waste time. He was the man that suited my qualifications. Obviously, he was God-sent. He was my first and last boyfriend and now is my husband for 27 blissful years now. I truly thank God for him!

in my opinion, valentine's day is another invet to make the people crazy and spend their money. i don't need a special day to tell my wife that i love her, but i know that not all the people thinks like me, so i respect them, but some of them can became so annoying that sometimes i wish to send them to the moon.
By the way, in my experience i can say that when more are you triying to get bf/gf, more far away becames, and when you are not searching then it appears as it was a magic trick.
have a nice day

I am NBSB as well. And I'm very satisfied with it. If I'm in need of companion in Valentine's Day, my date is--as always had been--my family. We don't actually celebrate the day here. Seriously, we could care less.

I can see how others could be sad on that special day. But Valentines isn't just for lovers. You can also celebrate it with your friends.
Don't worry. Your Mr. Right must have just taken the longer way to find you. He'd be there soon. And you'd meet him in the most unexpected time and place.

So who cares about Valentine's day? A big part of the world is not celebrating it at all. BTW I can remember it was for a long time habit to get a card/letter from someone you do not know, so a anomynous admirer. I wonder what happened with that, how come it's all about getting a lot of presents? How come only then people seem to think their partner loves them? And if he/she is not giving anything they think love is over? How come so many are soo greedy (yes Christmas included!). If you like/love yourself pamper yourself. Give the good example. Since if it comes to that it's the same with finding a lover. If you find yourself worth it, if you think you are precious, if you love yourself for real others will.
