I think most people have some sort of love/hate relationship with Valentines day. We all know it’s a revenue generating Hallmark holiday logically, but for some of us, that doesn’t make the feelings it evokes any less real. My own personal feelings about Valentines day depend on my how I’m feeling about myself on that Feb 14th, every year, regardless of whether I’m in a relationship or not. Some years, I get an attack of the ‘oh I feel like a loser’, other years I don’t give it a second thought, whether or not I’m in a relationship. Personally, I don’t want a dude to bring home some overpriced flowers one particular day a year coz he’s gonna feel like an arsehole if he doesn’t. Not really my scene. Personally I’d prefer a bunch on a day he knows I really need em. But I think like a lot of people, I have moments in life where I struggle with loneliness, partnered or not. Sometimes those two events over lap. I think it’s all about how much pressure you put on the day…coz really, it’s just another day and if you’re cool with being single on Feb 13th, why then, logically, should we feel shithouse about that fact the very next day. It’s a shame logic and emotion are such polar opposites. Do you feel differently about Valentines day depending on your dating status? Are you anti V day entirely? Or do you embrace the sentiments behind the day and do something sweet for your beloved? What did you do this V-day?
