This was very straight forward and even amusing! Heehee! ;>]
I'm sure a lady would like to be treated like royalty on days other than the 14th of Feb and her birthday. That could be very so, but most women need to have their own esteem and positive reflections towards themselves without being arrogant and vain.
I suppose society still likes to dwell on their assumption how "single people are loners." If there were a singles bash, it'd be more of a party! ;>D
Oo! I like what you said about arrogance and vanity! I think that could be said for guys as well. Yeah, you're right. A singles bash would probably be more of a party! That's ridiculous about society labeling singles as loners. But that's what society likes to think, I guess. I don't consider myself a loner. I just haven't found the right person yet, that's all.
Thanks! You're also awesome and I'm glad I met ya! It's a privilage to be friends with you too. hehe! Yeah, gotta love society and the zany media! I guess people will believe anything they see in movies and on TV. I think that's why so many people are desperate to marry so young these days because they see all the celebs doing it. Plus, they've got friends who are dating amd marrying, so they wanna be a part of it too. They don't seem like such good reasons to date or marry. I'm going to some day because I want to, not because everyone else is.
im mad about vday cuz of a certain someone LOL but not about the day in general... i haven't had a a valentine in two vdays now :( hope you have a good day tho :)
He stood ya up today? Are you serious? Jeez! I sure am sorry, really. Well if you need to vent or anything, everyone in my fam says I'm a pretty good listener-- or reader in this case.
That's exactly my take on the whole issue. Why single out one day in particular to show you care? I'd much rather do things when they're not expected of me than when they are.
You're absolutely right! People are always expecting a surprise on Valentine's day. So the surprise isn't really a surprise. I mean, we all act surprised when we get something on Vday. Pretty wild. Me, I'd spoil my significant other more than just Valentine's day. I think that's how some people view Christmas too. We're all alot nicer to each other during December, but the other 11 months of the year, everyone's like,"Get outa the way and don't bug me! Humbug!" haha! Man, I think Americans have gone all chicken soupy in the head these days.
Why not be good to each other all year round, then step it up a notch on holidays? Holidays help me break up the monatany of life. I pretty much live from one to the next...
I don't mind Valentine's Day even though I don't have anyone to celebrate it with! I agree, it doesn't make sense for couples to put so much emphasis on a few days a year like Valentine's Day, birthdays and anniversaries. I wouldn't mind having a boyfriend who didn't acknowledge Valentine's Day because it's not important to me.
Whenever I do date or am married, it won't really matter to me if she'll want to celebrate vday or not. Heck yeah, I'll love taking her out and all that, but more than just vday. But I'm also the type of person who likes long walks and movies, all that stuff. Sappy, I know, but I'm really more into that than going out alot. Yeah, I really don't mind valentine's day either. But I think too many people get caught up in the hustle and bustle of it all and, strange as it sounds, forget why they're celebrating it in the first place.
Maybe that's the trick. We never forget what we're celebrating because we do embrace these attitudes all year round. So when the special day comes it's not so much of a "Ok I gotta do this because Hallmark says so" as a "Cool, this is one day or a weekend where we can really get in there and focus on this wonderful thing..."
When I was single I used Valentine's Day to practice the art of agape (universal love for all). As for only treating your girl special one day of the year?
I don't know about you, but I can't afford to be a princess every day of the year. We treat each other well all year - we have an amazingly blessed union... but that's one day a year when I get to be showered non stop with love and presents.... Time and money are in short supply these days, it's not possible to act like this every day. We do little things off and on all year...
Ok, I think I've found a way to stop rambling and be succinct. While we are good to each other year round, and while there is the occasional present and tons of affection off and on through every day, Valentine's day is a day in which I can get a 24 - 48 hr concentrated dose..

All labels are ridiculous. Society can be preposterous, too.
Aw! I believe you will! You're such an awesome gentleman and I'm damn pleased & grateful to be friends with you! ;>D
