Valentines Day is going to be a long one.... Beachchick: I know it's a commercial holiday. I know that it's another way for Americans to buy MORE junk, full of hearts, flowers, teddy bears, etc....
I can't help it, I LOVE iT! My Parents were engaged on Valentines Day...so it's twice as special for me.
I love the holiday especially when I have someone special...to spend it with. Yes, I know the rules, we should treat our significant others special EVERY DAY. Not just once a year. I know, I know....
I still like breaking open the champagne...having a romantic night...and enjoying that person even more on THAT day.
Yes, I'm bummed, that this year I will be alone. No flowers, no champagne...no card. I don't like chocolate, and going out to dinner isn't necessary, but spending the evening in bed with a bottle of bubbly isn't all bad.....:)
Anyone have any advice how to get through it alone? I would go out with my friends, but the ones near me, are married, and all of my single friends live out of state. I'm starting over in so many ways.
I broke up with someone not that long ago, and although I don't want him back, I will be sad, if he shows up around me with a date. I am happy for him either way.
I am happy for anyone who finds love....
Maybe I'm being a hopeless romantic....but I don't want to let that part of me go....
Any thoughts from the group? Batman, you usually hit the nail on the head......
Anyone else a little bummed out?

Re: Valentines Day is going to be a long one.... saddad: Well considering my STBXW and I were married on Valentine's Day 9 years ago, it's going to be a tough one for me. We're about 6 months separated, (still living together), but I know she'll be going away for a long weekend with her boyfriend to celebrate the holiday. Yes, he is the OM that caused our separation, so that just adds to it.
It really isn't bothering me right now, but I know it will hit me when it gets here.
I do have someone that I've gone a few dates with, but I really don't want to lead this person on since I don't think we're right for each other. I'm not going to let the holiday increase her expectations of us as a couple. I hope she doesn't have any big plans for us.
Maybe we could be each other's Valentines Beachchick? ;) :-*
Re: Valentines Day is going to be a long one.... blueyd1: Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
I wrote this in a blog last year for Valentine's Day. I was single at the time, and here were my thoughts:
Happy Valentine's day everyone! I actually don't mind being alone today; because I realized that I am so loved by my friends that the fact that I don't have anyone serious in my life is really not that big a deal.
So, I'm celebrating the love of my friends today!
My best friend once told me that when she met her fiance, she knew she was going to marry him because it was so easy with him. There was no second guessing, no wondering if he was going to call, no questioning his feelings. I guess that's what I'm looking for. I'm game for witty banter and intellectual debates, but I really don't like playing mind games. If you're interested, let me know. If you're not interested, then just move on. One thing I've learned from my past experiences is that I am strong enough to deal with heartache. I know it's hard for you men to tell a girl that she's not the one but, trust me, it's much easier to know for sure than to sit and wonder. Just be honest and upfront, that's it.
So, I will celebrate my friendships tonight and I know how lucky I am to have these friends in my life. And if I ever meet a guy who is as easygoing as my friends, then I will know I found someone special.
Well, it's almost a year later, and I now have that someone special who I've been loving for the past 6 months.
So to all of you -- enjoy this holiday of love by celebrating the love of your family, friends, and SOs.
We all deserve some good old-fashioned TLC; candy and flowers on me!!
