>>That feeling of being surrounded by friends pissing and moaning because they're alone, while you're so independent you'd rather just remain single and still be perfectly happy.

Feels good man.

Valentines this year was miserable for me, my gf is 200-300 miles away from me and I miss her SO DAMN MUCH. :(

I got her flowers and wrote her a note, had her in tears she thought it so sweet, now that was great

It does mate. Now I will be drinking to myself.

Well today went fairly well. It is easy to pick up single ladies on V-Day

I love valentines day, personally. I just hate expensive chocolates.

Do you hate paying for them, or do you just hate them?

Expensive chocolate is pretty rad in my opinion.

Fiancé said she didn't want anything for Valentine's, and I said okay. I work in an area that has a bunch of commercial gardens selling flowers in crappy tin sheds, and I noticed the big queues at each of these things as I drove to work, and figured I might get the future mrs sebster something on the way home.

I dropped in to one of these places on the way home, parking about 100m away because of all the other dudes there buying flowers, and go into this shed, looking through whatever stock is left, along with about 50 other dudes. Some are picking out specific bunches coz they know what their GF wants, some are just grabbing bunches at random, but it seems like most are complaining that there aren't any roses left. It just starts feeling really wrong, like I’m just doing some last minute, half assed thing because it's expected, and I leave.

I get home and Valentine's Day doesn't come up. I pretty much forgot all about it until this thread.

As much as I make a point of not caring about Valentine's day, I do dislike how it kind of beats upon your head how single you are.

I've come to grow tired of being "that guy" among my friends, and Valentines day only exemplifies it further.

It kind of just sucks for everyone, no matter who you are and what your point of view is. We just do it because everyone else does it.

On the other hand, Name that Tune night was a blast.

I got a heart.

Made out of bacon.

Damn fine day.

Except for the fact that it was an almost-empty gesture and I'm still terribly alone.

But still, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacon.

FYI expensive chocolates are the same as the cheep stuff (althoew there is cheep and then there is CHEEP). I should know I was hocking them all weekend (never felt so uncleen in my life and i've done some stuff). What you are paying for is the wrapping and the brand name. Mostly the name.

I was promoting the Lintt Lindor stuff as well as the Thornton's stuff.
I stand in Asda and try to give people free stuff, "You you like to try?" gave way to, "Free chocolate!"

This isn't accurate, for esoteric, and quite frankly, boring reasons to those who don't have a vested interest in culinary matters.

Almost this.

Except she had bought me a jumper as a surprise (well confiscated one I bought myself on Saturday) and moaned about not having anything in return.

Talk about moving the frickin' goal posts.

An evening of frosty looks and complaints ensued. Thanks for that Card Companies thank push this gak.

She was as if nothing happened this morning!

Never had a date for valentines, always broken up just before or got together just after, never on the actual day. Thats fine, buy chocolate for myself then.

I was informed GC came home with a Valentine's Day balloon. I don't know to be happy or way over the top Overprotective Dad.
Who'm I kidding, when in doubt default to Danger! Over Protective Father!

Well valentines day is over and will be back in 364 days. Get over it. Its in a LONG time.

Oh, and expensive chocolates are, like, epic. I could do with some...

Used to hate valentines cos my ex was a

However this one was AWESOME!!! My current lady friend is the bomb

As my partner suffers from a chronic illness we have to take Valentines day as it comes. Yesterday, she wasn't well and so we had to essentially 'cancel' the day, however we prepare for days like those and go out for dinner on the days beforehand or after when she is well. When you are in a long term marriage type relationship it is very easy to forget how much the other person means to you, so I enjoy Valentines day. It reminds us both how lucky we are and how much we love each other, through thick and thin.

So, today is the day after V-Day. You may recall my wife told me not to do anythign because she would be working, and like and idiot I believed her?






She was working all night and it didn't come up at all. So, she was telling me the truth after all.

You know how I would be spending this day Han style? Turns out about half way through I lied to you, then I lied to you again and then before the day was out I lied to you again again!


Also Easy E how are we sure that is not your wife posting to cover up your murder?

First V-Day with new GF. I cooked. We had wine. I bought chocolate covered strawberries. Turns out she loves them.

All in all, an excellent evening.

We had some tapas and watched Fletch. It was most enjoyable.

I like Russel Stover and Dove, so medium-cheap chocolate for me. Godiva is just... not that pleasing to me. Every once in a while you just need a Hershey bar though.

I am soooo looking forward to intimidating my daughter's BFs.

You have to enjoy the little things.

Thinking about it and considering my daughter's temprement I think I will thoroughly disapprove of the good ones.

Actual conversation with 9 year old daughter yesterday:

Daughter (D): Is it true that before a boy can kiss me you have to meet him and get to know him?

Me: Uh, yeah, aren't you a little young to be worried about that?

D: I know I have to wait until I'm 19, I'm just checking.
