*peddles chocolates and roses to all the males running around in a last-second panic*
I am, happily for myself, slightly over three years single and detached from the so-called dating scene.
For all the people who have someone they're happy with, I congratulate you on the good fortune, and wish you best of luck.
...well, it is a day of St Valentine, celebrated over the centuries so one could say pretty much all of them holidays are silly made up things.
True, but you have to admit, cards and candy are a far cry from skinning people and then using the skinwhips to crack girls on the butt. Ancient people really knew how to party.
My other half fixed my morning cup of coffee perfectly. *gives brownie points to her other half*
What a suck up! Slap your other half around and tell um that morning coffee once a year is not good enough...
Here's some tips I wrote for my department at work. I did all of them last night...
HERE’S FIVE NEAT WAYS TO CELEBRATE UN-VALENTINE’S DAY:
1. TRY ON AND RETRY ON ALL OF THE CLOTHES YOU OWN, TO SEE IF YOU’VE GAINED WEIGHT!
2. PLAY A RIP-ROARING GAME OF DUNGEONS & DRAGONS! ALONE.
3. GIVE YOURSELF SAFETY TRAINING DRILLS, FOR WHEN HITMEN INEVITABLY SIEGE YOUR CRAMPED APARTMENT (IT’S GONNA HAPPEN SOMETIME, IT’S BEST TO BE PREPARED).
4. MAKE A LIST OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE YOU WRONG AND THAT YOU REFUSE TO FORGIVE.
5. FIND FUN WAYS TO STIFLE THE CRYING FITS, LIKE WRAPPING A TOWEL AROUND YOUR FACE AND PRETENDING YOU’RE A MUMMY!
I say we bring back Lupercalia and chuck Valentines Day in the trash.
Lupercalia
I mean c'mon! Goat sacrifices, dressing in raw goatskins and dancing, whipping the bystanders with rawhide thongs, what's not to like? Those Romans knew how to celebrate a holiday!
"If you can't be with the one you love baby! Love the one your with!! Love the one your with!!!!"
See, I have a simple reason behind why I don't do this whole silly dance.
Most relationships have, as an unspoken expectation, that sooner or later sex will be involved.
See, I do have a sex drive. It's just in park, with the emergency brake on. I lost the keys down the storm drain, someone stole the tires and the radio, the transmission is busted anyhow, it's on cinderblocks out in the front yard, and the grass has managed to completely engulf the radiator. It's there, but it isn't going anywhere; I have no interest in the world's favorite taboo subject, aside from a vaguely morbid fascination with how obsessive people actually are about it.

You have no idea how lucky you are. Mine seems to have a cinderblock on the gas pedal.
Hey Everyone,
Remember to do something nice for your significiant other today. Ladies, if he fails to do something nice, please assume he's just a clueless guy and don't hold it against the rest of us.
Hmm. Would now be an appropriate time to mention that I'm strongly opposed to Valentines Day?
I think its a great idea to do something special for your significant other sometimes but, IMO, making it a standardized holiday on which people expect you to do something special for them makes it less special somehow. Such things seem like they should be more spontaneous. On another level, I dislike how it has become yet another chance for Hallmark and such companies to sell people more worthless s%*@ just to fulfill an essentially corprate created image of the 'perfect' Valentines Day./opinionated threadjack
Happy standardized, corpratized Valentines Day everybody!

Actually, from observing the rest of our gender, I'm really quite well aware of how lucky I am.
Roughly 1% of both genders, it's estimated, is in roughly the same category as me. Most of them never realize it, since the idea of not being enthused by sex is a lot like the idea of not liking music at all; most people just can't fit their heads around it and try to find reasons or rationalize it into a phase or something.
Me? I'm just glad that I have all my time, energy, and money to use on things of my own choosing, instead of having to divide my attention between my universe and someone else's.
