Valentines Day

How do you make it through Valentines without feeling oh-so-alone. Everything about this day reminds me of my ex. It was probably one of the best nights of our relationship. This year tho he is spending it with someone else and is doing romantic things for her. All my girlfriends have boyfriends and I've been at a complete lost with this "holiday" coming up next week. What to do???

I know exactly how you feel. Been single for a long time apart from the odd few months here and there. Most of my friends are married or attached and keep giving me details on how they are spending their Valentines Day.
I'm sick of seeing adverts for roses, champagne, love CD's etc.. and turn the channel over.
So I thought no this year is going to be different, I'm buying myself some flowers, a nice bottle of wine and I'm going to spend time in my own home celebrating the fact that I can do exactly what I want. If on Valentines Night I wish to spend it in my PJ's with no make up watching rubbish girlie programmes then so be it.
It's taking me time to love myself (still struggling with that one) but hey, I can cope on my own and I am a good person. I have great friends (which will probably be arguing with their partners either later that night or the day after!!) So all I can say to you is enjoy because at the end of the day we are the only ones that can get us through this horrendous day!!
Smile even though you dont feel like it and be happy that you can do exactly what you want to do when you want to do it. Be that a bit of a Bridget Jones, of dancing in your PJ's whilst enjoying a bottle of wine. Even if you do still feel bad at least you can giggle at how silly you have been that night.
Good Luck..

Im right there with ya sister. Valentines Day is my favorite holiday. Last year my b/f gave me a HUGE puppy stuffed animal and on the arm it said, "I love you". I have it on my bed still. My b/f and I broke up on monday and we still live in the same house! Its hard b/c he walks by me like I am invisible. He told me he didnt love me anymore. So, know that there are others that are feeling the pain right with you. I wish that we could spend it together so we would understand how it feels. All my friends are married. Im the only one who isnt.
Hang in there kiddo....as I will too.
NOPE YOUR NOT ALONE...me too..lol
dont worry we will be fine trust me...just think is just a regular day no big deal!!!!
good luck
Yeah, this Valentine's Day is going to be rough. The only guy I ever had around for this day was my husband. Never had anyone before or after. I'm always conveniently single and, although I'm not one that needs all that romance given to me with gifts, it would be nice to get flowers just once.
I thought I would have someone around, too, but we broke up. It sucks too because I had a card picked out for him. Glad I never bought it. I dread this year because I work with a lot of young people who will all be getting flowers, etc. and I'll have nothing as usual.
Still - I've decided to go to a wine tasting singles' night next Friday. Never been much into this kind of scene, but it won't hurt to try it, right? Been sad enough and maybe, if I do this, I'll get those flowers I always wanted next year. :)
Happy Early Valentine's Day to all of us!

Look at it this way, it is just one day out of the year that celebrates couples. The rest of the 364 days should be about celebrating YOU. I work for the largest greeting card company in the world and I personally think Valentine's Day is overrated and I just see it has a moneymaker for my company. My ex and I were together last year over Valentines but this year I am spending it with the cutest 6 year old girl in my life which is my daughter. After 2/14, all of us singles can actually say "I did it, I made it through the most difficult day of the year for singles and I am stronger for it".
Keep your chin up!
