Well, single people wouldn't have so much to worry about on Valentine's if they were secure enough with themselves. I remember my single Valentine's of my life -- going out to fancy restaurants with my friends or enjoying a quiet night at home with some movies (not from the romance genre), simply because I rarely get a night to myself.
What is the "negative side" of Valentine's supposed to be?
if they believe valentine's is over-rated, then surely they must feel the same way about christmas, halloween, new year's eve, and easter -- all of which have become anti-climactic commercialist holidays. what they should understand is that valentine's isn't attacking singledom. it's a day to recognize those you love.
valentine's was cool in grade school, right? when everyone had to send out cards and you'd have a "secret cupid" or whatever that you'd buy something for? when everyone got candy? but suddenly when everyone couples up, single people hate valentine's. and my god, what a cliche that is.
Well, I'm one of those people who dislike many holidays for my own personal reasons. X-Mas and Easter for me are very religious and I stick to that. Come to think of it, so is Halloween in ways that you might not have thought about.
HA! it's just another reason to watch porn and eat fried stuff, since we're not getting any... :/
and agreed! maybe I'm just not that sentimental... but cards? I look at it once and trash it after I know who it's from! and then I feel guilted into getting one for whoever sent me it, in the first place so, it's pretty much a viscious, meaningless, cycle.
But, I'm also very greedy too, so I wouldn't complain if someone sent me a box of Godiva truffles, or sent me a bouquet of a gazillion red roses...
Every year someone has to bitch about the dreaded V-day. It isn't all about romance or love you know. It could be the smallest gesture from a smile or hug to a full-on beautiful bouquet to that special someone. You don't have to be freaking attached.
Get off your lazy asses and get caught up in the moment!
The way my dating cycles work out, I've been single for pretty much every Valentine's Day my entire life. I still love the day because it's the day that everyone has a chance to go tell someone that he or she thinks that other he or she is special. You don't have to be in love. You could just say, "Hey! You're a kickass friend." And then you can go throw water balloons at unsuspecting couples....or throw those nasty candy hearts.
The holidays are what you make it, and if you make it sucky, that's a personal choice.
well, yeah. But V-day is like Secretary's Day. It's just a way to make sure you remind them that you care. Yah yah....another excuse to buy cards....don't buy a card....make a mix cd. Take a picture....make a porn....SO many options....though one shouldn't make a porn with a friend....that can hurt the friendship ^_^"
id just like to say that im in a relationship, and the thought of valentines day still repulses me. im not sure why, maybe it has something to do with the fact that its so cheesy, and that something which was at sometime a novelty, is now some sort of commercial whore-out.

I finally looked at both views being single as a good thing/bad thing and then at couples.

Thank you for claryfying (omg, that was totally wrong) that for me. Woot!
I feel the same way when I'm in a relationship. It's just not the same.
