Last year was my first planned Valentine's Day date. Bf got strep throat and I spent it feeding him antibiotics and fruit juice and petting his head while he slept all day. Then the car wouldn't start on the 15th because of the cold, so I didn't even get discount candy
This year he's proposed a video game marathon. La sigh.
admittedly I have huge plans for Vday with DH that mostly revolve around some hot hot bedroom activity, but TOM is showing signs of arrival and I am PRAYING it holds off until sunday.
Even when I was single I always held out hope that I had a secret admirer for valentines day. Never did. My ninth grade boyfriend couldn't even be bothered to get me anything. Come on!
I'm another one who has never had a Valentine for Valentine's Day... But then, I have never had a boyfriend, or been kissed, or really anything else romantic, either. But Valentine's Day really doesn't get me down because I see it as being sooo commercial and essentially manufactured by greeting card/flowers/candy/etc companies. It seems silly to me that so much emphasis is placed on this one day, especially when there's no real reason for it. If I had a significant other, I would think that it would be much more special to celebrate anniversaries and other dates that are meaningful to that specific relationship, rather than feeling obligated to be romantic on a random day just because you're "supposed" to. I sincerely hope I don't sound cynical, because I don't mean to be at all--I'm actually a big sap, and I love crazy and/or corny romantic gestures! It's just the holiday of Valentine's Day that has always seemed really silly to me. I don't feel bad about not having a Valentine at all, because to me February 14th just feels like any old normal day, heh.
