This topic is for moping, whining, whinging, and complaining about being single only.

No complaining about your boyfriend, girlfriend, spous, whatever. If you have someone you don't belong in this topic.

No trying to cheer us up either.

Just whining, whinging, complaining, being a pain in the ass, and moping about being single on the most romantic day of the year.
 
Not really mopey, yet. But come the end of the week, I might be.

This year has been better than many though, it seems like the ads for Valentine's this and Valentine's that have been running less frequently.
 
Im not single but I was for a long time and to be honest with you I loved it - in a strange kind of way! Valentine's Day never got me down because it's a load of commercial crap anyway! Or am I wrong?

You are right and you are wrong. It is a bunch of commercial crap, that I don't really give a damn about. But it's one of those things that rubs in the fact that a person is single. There are some people who enjoy being single, there are others who don't. For those of us who don't... well it sucks to be reminded what a loser we are.

Not that I think I'm a loser, except when it comes to meeting women.
 
I hated it the first couple of years after my wife passed, but now . . .

Fuck it. Just another day. I try not to think about all the big red hearts in shop windows and the grossly intrusive, sappily meaningless commercials on TV.

Guess I'll change my tune if I ever find someone again . . . .
 
Well, I'm moping. Not just out of loneliness but sickness as well, but still wish I had someone to hold onto.
 
Mope, mope. The man of my dreams said that I was a dream girl, but he wanted to wait 2 more years before getting to know me, so he could finish his degree first...

(If that's the case, why did he put in that ad NOW???) :rolleyes:

Anyway, I've got the remedy... *points to sig*

If it helps my now Fiance said, when I let him know I fancied him, the exact same thing yours said (except he wanted to wait three years).

My response? Asked someone else out on a date.
I was mid-shag with *them* when the phone went...

The rest is, if not history, then easily guessed at...

*bitch* *moan* *whine*

Being single sucks. At least I've passed the point of crying myself to sleep every night. Thanks a lot, doc. :rolleyes:

Didn't Thee say no trying to cheer up us mopers!

Mope, mope, mope.

Actually, I'm not entirely mopey, got through Valentine's unscathed so far. Although a girl at work did say my eyes were the color of aquamarines (which are her birthstone). Very strange. No she didn't just outright say that, we were talking about gemstones, specifically getting your ashes turned into a diamond after you die.

Exactly.

I lived for 9 years as a single person within a long established marriage, until we separated and then divorced amicably and in all that time, even the 22 years before that, Valentine's Day never bothered me. In fact, I have always viewed the day not as one to tell one specific person how much you love them, but as one where I remind all the people in my life who are important to me, just how much I love them.

The secret is not to dwell on the romantic aspect of VD, but to revel in the chance to tell many people that you love them, hand out single roses, tiny boxes of individual chocolates if you wish, miniature drink bottles...to many loved ones. The look of surprise and pleasure on their faces, makes it all worth while.

Make it a day of celebrating what you do have, not what you don't.

Wasn't trying to cheer anyone up. I was encouraging them to go out and shag around a bit :p
Anyway, it's all over now, isn;t it?

Valentines Day sucks ball. As much as I try to cover it up with cynicism, saying how its all commercial etc, it would just be nice to take part. Give someone a card, flowers and chocolate. Go down in the morning to check the mail and find something there. That sort of thing.

Walking through town several times yesterday (and at night), everybody is a couple. Every person is holding hands. It sucks.
