Yeah ... I'm single 
Here's something lovely ... I spent two hours last night wandering around the mall trying to help my sister pick out a Valentine's Day for her boyfriend. I must have suggested the same gift five times before she finally bought it.
Although this may not be the most vheerful thing to think about ... at least you'll be doing something productive on Valentine's Day

Why get so worked up because you are single on this FAKE holiday?
True love or a relationship should be celebrated EVERYDAY. People get so wrapped up in a holiday that is overhyped to create this false sense of romanticism, and pressures people (mainly men) to needlessly purchase stuff.
Again, celebrate your relationship EVERYDAY like it is Valentine's Day, and don't get depressed if you are not in a relationship when you see marketing materials in a vendor's display case.
I think people should really pull their heads out of their rears about this holiday.

I hate valentines day. I think it's just another excuse for Hallmark to make a card. I worked at a Hallmark for 3 years in high school/college. They have cards for everything.

This guy speaks the truth. Remeber, if there are any expectations for the day, it was all brought to you by a marketing department.

I've had good V-days in the past, with boyfriends, but if I don't happen to have someone then it's not a big deal.

Considering I spent last Valentine's Day in Dublin and this year am not, the 14th is most definitely going to suck.

Yes, Valentine's Day as we know it has been blown up into a huge marketing ploy to get people to buy things, but I think it's nice to remember that the holiday is actually St. Valentine's Day. For those of us for whom saints have meaning, there is a deeper significance to the day than just candy, hearts, and romance (or lack thereof).

I don't have one, doesn't really bother me
I think you should celebrate all the love you have in your life, not just romantic love.

I erased eveything I said trying to edit it.
and you responded.
recap: little valentine greetings prolly cost less than one US penny, and made by either a big machine, or some poor children in a third world country about the same age as Lucky Charm's own children.
Sorry if I seem like a Valentine's day scrooge....but, if you look at what is really going on...corporations are being the scrooges...forcing people into these "sad" or "depressed" feelings because they are not getting attention/gifts from a partner on this fabricated "special" day.
as a good friend would say, "bah."

I've never really liked the day, but i don't let it depress me either. This year, I actually am amused by the couples running around, trying to do special stuff...it's a bit ridiculous. The only good part of it all is the candy...and you don't have to be in a couple to eat the candy...mmmm, chocolate.

"Mom, romance is dead. It was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece."
I don't really care one way or another about Valentine's Day.
All the single girls on my floor are having a "let's get together and whine about how nobody likes us" night, but like zoney said, I don't see the point of getting all worked up about such a commercialized day. I've been single every other day of the year and that doesn't bother me either.
Plus Groundhog Day is a better February holiday anyway.
