It is just another day to me. My mom always got me a card though. And the candy specials the day after are a real treat....................

Take a different view. You dread it because you feel alone? Many people are alone, so keep that in mind...not everyone is part of a "couple". Suggestion....go out and buy yourself, whatever you are wishing someone would buy for you....flowers? chocolates? a meal in a restaurant? a card? a new sweater? You'll be surprised how good that makes you feel....really! :)

I don’t pay too much attention to it. I’m not romantic and neither is my husband. I don’t think it has much to do with love. I think Valentine’s Day is about merchants selling candy in heart shape box ... and other stuff.

It's definately not fun if you're widowed or divorced, and don't have anybody special in your life. But, my girlfriend, Carol and I always give each other a small box of candy and a card. That helps.We're both widowed. I have a harder time at Christmas, b/c I have no family here, and many of my loved ones have died.

I remember many years ago the fallout from not coming home with the traditional flowers and heartshaped candy box. Thought I'd never hear the end of it. Now every calender is circled in red for that day and all the PC's are programed to give fair warning that the day from hell is back again.

Yes i can relate to it being dreadful although i'm married i never know what to get my wife , flowers and Chocolate don't quite cut it any more , a dinner out is always nice but even thats tough when you'r on a tight budget..

Think about this one. My sister died on Valentine's Day 2 years ago. Her husband was upset the Valentine's Day the year following her death. He married again & his new wife was upset that every Valentine's Day her death is lurking in the back of somebody's mind. I usually make my better half a home made Valentine's card, cartoonist and humorous, and sometimes a gift.

I think it is fun for kids... No big deal for me and my hubby.. We are broke, so it will be a spaghetti night I am sure. I am worried about mom... Papa's Birthday is the 12 and v day is the 14.. It is going to be a tough month for her.
Side note.. I am having nightmares about him... Is is still her but he is not him... i am sure it is stressing over mom and the Month of Feb.... But I havent been able to sleep.

I'm being deluged on the TV, in the newspaper, and in every kind of store with Valentine's Day promotions.
NOT having a husband or BF, nor any good guy friends this year to give at least a card, I'm feeling left out. BUT, if there is ever someone in my life again (or, rather, WHEN), we won't need Valentine's Day to say "I love you".
NO, Pej, you aren't the only one.

Bob I know what you mean. However when I was a single person. I did not worry about Valentine's Day. I just wished the people I worked with and/or people that I happen to be talking to on that day, Happy Valentine's Day. Most of it is commercialism anyway. So as I always say, "Don't worry, Be Happy!" And, "Happy Valentine's Day to you!" Your aka pal Tabbie Tabber
