V-day is okay. I imagine I would be depressed if I were single, not that anyone should be, but that's just me. When not single on V-day, I feel there's too much pressure surrounding the day. There's just too much pressure. lol.

That's my opinion.

The candy is nice. Actually my favorite things are those chocolate-covered cherries 🙂

P.S...guys are hard to shop for on V-day. It's such a feminine-oriented holiday!

Vday to me is being romanced. Not so much about gift giving but the actions your partner carries out to make the day somewhat special and memorable (ending of course in a good sexual romp). I think it is a good day so long time partners can 'remember' the good things about the relationship and to focus on reasons you came together in the first place. Those things should occur everyday but unfortunately life seems to get in the way and so much goes by the sidelines. Vday should occur from both sides (gender neutral). I think a woman can be just as romantic...as Star says, a steak dinner with candles and a beer waiting on the table for when your partner comes home would be considered the ants pants by men.

echo on the pressure thing. As the days pass toward V-Day, the pressures, hopes, jealousy, envy, hate, despair, and just about any other emotion wells up in the not-so-lucky ones.

Actually, I think VDay was made so that there would be a candy-holiday almost every month.

oh, jackbutter. I'm just stopping through and then I have to go for a couple hours (but will definitely be back later)--but anyway, take heart--valentine's day is annoying even when you're not "all alone". sometimes it is worse being technically not alone, but feeling all alone.

oh, and twinkee--at least your bf ended up getting you stuff. Mine called me after he got off work and told me he hasn't had time or money to get me anything. I spent a pretty good chunk of $ $ on him too. I said, "i'll call you later". so i'm giving him a couple hours to come through in some way. he's done things like this on my birthday, too. how depressing
