Valentine's day is a hallmark generated holiday that's sole purpose is to justify overpriced flowers and candy.

The only good part of this day, is that the actual good tasting candy is made in such mass for this day, that you can get them for dirt cheap the next day.
So is mothers day and fathers day.
Candy isn't manufactured on those days as much as V-day. I prefer a handmade card on Mother's Day from my son. I don't need the rest of the stuff.
So are handmade cards and flowers. So if your son doesn't want to celebrate mothers day with you cause he feels he should show you love everyday will you be ok with that?


Yup. Cause I don't need a single day to be told I am loved. It's more meaningful if it isn't forced. If he makes me a card, it's nice. If not, I am not going to throw a fit.
Lol, I'm not talking about not just getting you a card. I mean not acknowledging the day at all. I think when ppl bitch about Valentine's day it's cause they are bitter about it in some way. If you don't want to celebrate it that's fine, but don't be a hypocrite and celebrate other "made up" holidays cause it benefits you. I'm not a mother and sometimes mothers day does annoy me, but I do have a mother so I spend it with her because I know it makes her feel special. When she dies, I won't have to worry about it. I'm not going to go around spreading negativity by saying it's stupid or made up or who cares. Because for some people, it makes them feel special. It's not suppose to feel forced. It's just another holiday like any other holiday that focuses on something specific. Like Xmas or new years, or easter, or whatever other holiday out there.

For the record I am single this Valentine's day.... I'm not bitter about it. I even came into work with a shirt with little hearts on it. I'm feeling love f rom friends and family.


What happened to your man?


I found out about some things he has been liying to me about.
Sorry to hear that......was he the aqua guy or was that another Leo lady? Hope you are okay?



😢


He was a Pisces. May be another Leo. Or maybe confused with an Aqua guy friend I had that I may have mentioned a few times.

I'm sorry about it too. It's sad. But I'm glad I know the truth so I can move on. Plus his lies caught up to him so I was able to see karma take action. If he had just been upfront with me about it I would have been ok and wouldn't have gotten my heartbroken. It's all good. My Venus is in leo..I'll find someone new lol

I hope he didn't cheat on you

Wishing you luck with moving on to better times 🙂

It's just another day. Actually, it's kind of an annoyance. Tue's always one of our date nights and it's super easy to do whatever we want cause it's a bliddy Tues so no one's out en masse. Not tonight.
Think of something to do that loved up couples wouldn't want to?
We're doing our regular, every other Tuesday thing and getting there early, in case some newbies turn up. Though, a cocktail tasting doesn't exactly scream VD to me. 😄
What's a chickentail tasting? Sounds strange


The Boy picks up shifts at a local distillery and made friends with a guy that does these cocktail tastings at the bar he tends at FT. It's a laid back, craft beer hole in the wall, but he does these clinics every other Tue.

Tonight he'll teach us six different drinks made with amaro. Last time was savory cocktails. We've done nut infused... sampled expensive wheated bourbons... Just something to get us outta the house and keep us warm during the winter.

what the hell does that have to do with chickens? looool

Just realised it's changing cocktail for chickentail LMAO that sounds like great fun. Jealous

It's meaningful when i have a special someone, otherwise... ehh..
it's meaningful everyday when you have someone you love. and they love you.
Well duhh naturally romantic.. it's like this every day for the rest of my life.. but for Valentines.... taken to a world you never thought existed lol.


my husband isn't the romantic type, but he does things that are romantic, like write me poetry when we first dated, and bought me gifts and even bought us rings, like a promise ring.

That to me is romantic




btw, what are you and your man doing later?



He's overseas working so I'm all by myself ? well I have my children but they'll be in bed shortly.


my man works a little later, he has a big meeting.

so your man is military??
No he's not. He's a Close Protection Officer.


whats that? 😕

Mine was bittersweet.

Image Not Found
Aww that little kid's face 😢

What happened?
Heard the 3 words I've wanted to hear from the beautiful Virgo man I've loved for almost 3 years now, but he didn't mean them the way I mean them. He's terrified of losing my friendship, he even........oh for fuck's sake, he's gonna be the death of me.

Image Not Found



😢. Just good friends......no romance yet ?


It was never really on the cards considering we're both male & only one of us is into boys. Our relationship is very complicated and there's too many grey areas between us. I believe he needs me around because he's been having a tough time at home and I've been there for him 24/7 whenever he needed comfort, but there's something he's very hesitant to say. He was holding back big time but unfortunately my Piscean crystal ball is on the blink these days. I can't understand this. First time in my life I've ever said that.

And I've never forced anything out of him, he's always opened upto me in his own time. I don't think he even knows what he wants anymore. My head hurts.
Oh no 😢. I can tell you are mad about him, I thought you lived together. He isn't gay ?

What are you going to do ?


Nah, I told him I was gay from the start because I didn't want to pretend around him, and he told me he's fine with it as long as I don't shove it in his face all the time. Opposites attract. I'm an ancient Fishy soul with a nurturing nature and a wicked sense of humor. He's an energetic fireball Leo/Virgo cusper who needed to find someone who can bring out the best in him.

Over time we got close, and then got closer and even closer to the point where he completely forgot what he said to me back then. It seems like I have that effect, on Virgos especially. I make their almost-impenetrable defensive wall disappear without a trace.

But it's reached a point where we've developed a powerful emotional attachment, me more so than him obviously, to where we don't know where to go next. I've tried to turn my feelings off and they always come back with a vengeance. Doesn't help that he's the sweetest guy in the world, just a beautiful man in every sense of the word. And I guess I underestimated myself as well - got my confidence knocked down several levels by my stupid ex years ago. No freakin clue what to do next.

What a dilemma

Good luck with this

I go back and forth. Sometimes Valentines day is special and sometimes it's not that important. I think it also depends on relationship dynamics. I dated a guy where Valentines day didn't matter to me, but in a different relationship Valentines day was more important to me with that partner. I don't know why. Maybe because he was more romantic and it made me appreciate Valentines day more.

Another scenario for people after being with one partner for so long that romanticism sometimes will lose its spark and Valentines day is an opportunity for partners to come together again. It can be a reminder for those who are not naturally inclined to be romantic to make an effort for their loved ones.

And, yeah, it is a holiday that boosts the economy too. The markets suggest that Valentines day is all about spending money on loved ones. I don't think Valentines day has to be about spending money, I don't care for lavish gifts, as long as some thought was put into it. Anything handcrafted is appreciated. Or a poem. A nice walk in the park. Spending more time together after having a busy week. Maybe making a red wine cake together and enjoying it afterwards. Or something unique/different that we haven't tried.
I can agree with all that. When I was younger I used to like it. I'm a romantic at heart. My ex hubby used to turn up after work with the cheapest last minute flowers he could find. I kind of used to think I wish you hadn't of bothered at all tbh because I feel you've only done that because you think you have to. The worst thing about that is he knows how much I love flowers, so I have my favs and I often buy fresh flowers for the house.

I do like it. I'm not saying it's the only day I can show my love and treat my wife very special because I am capable showing my love and treat my wife very special the whole year whenever I have a chance to show it, not just Valentine's Day but I'm still going to celebrate Valentine's Day no matter what because I can.

If other people don't want to celebrate it, that's fine. It's their life they can do whatever they want and If other people get annoyed or whatever the fuzz about it because other people wants to celebrate Valentine's Day. I guess they can ignore, take a break from the internet for a day and go somewhere else where they can't see those people celebrating Valentine's Day. I don't know do whatever they think is the best for them.

I appreciate small gestures, although no flower bouquets. Dead flowers are better left uncut, and within a beautiful garden. After all, what a poor declaration / demonstration of love that is -

Dead flowers to symbolise how short lived and fleeting your love would be ? 😆

Simply spare me the awkward public displays as well, which leaves me gagging. To receive them, and to witness them.

That's nice and you're right everyone has their own opinion. I agree if you're not a fan then just swerve the internet for the day lol I have haha not because I'm not a fan, I just don't find it necessary to share everything on the internet. I don't really need to read how much you love your wife/husband partner whatever lol

Thank you for asking, and I have kept to the guidance of the reading in regards to the Water Bearer. 🙂

I have been keeping my distance, despite still being able to sense their tug. It dwindled away for the most part, up until their birthday as of late. Then I felt it in full force yet again. It is a strange thing, and I do so wish to believe it to be false, but when others do think of you, I believe the weight of their thoughts do transmit itself in one form or another.

I may very well be talking out of my arse, but then so be it. 😆

I might not have a lover

But I'm loved by many

Coworkers gave me a valentines send off party n feel very much loved in other ways than romantic by many people. I'm fortunate that way😉

I guess that's my lesson
you should have been the aquarius moon, like Princess Diana.





i'm loved only by my family and close friends.
I have stellium in 10 or 11th

Something to do with groups of people?

Hah WonderWoman14, never mind me. I merely have an unconventional view in regards to floral bouquets. Although, for their purpose in interior design, decor, or purely for aesthetic / ambiance, I could and would approve of seeing them as so.

I suppose it would all be a matter of context.

Given the choice, considering how expensive beautiful bouquets are. I would rather that money be spent, on a gift, that I would be able to use, time and time again. Be it perhaps a hard to find perfume, a delicious multiple course meal at a hard to reserve restaurant, or a short trip elsewhere, etc.

Something which carries great memories, or at least something in which I would be able to pick up from time and time. Knowing and remembering that the gift was representative of a given memory, of and with them.

Bouquets, die, and we throw them out. What a waste of beautiful flowers and of money, such a temporary expression of love.

Something which carries great memories, or at least something in which I would be able to pick up from time and time. Knowing and remembering that the gift was representative of a given memory, of and with them.

Bouquets, die, and we throw them out. What a waste of beautiful flowers and of money, such a temporary expression of love.

I guess I've never really thought about it in that context because I rarely received flowers as a gift.

I enjoy buying them for the house as they smell devine and look so elegant.

I agree as a gift I would much rather something lasting. I'm a sentimental person. I keep memory boxes too. They can contain anything from a pebble from a beach to a wrist band from a concert. Also an experience like a fancy restaurant or a weekend break is a treasured memory to.

I have never cared about VD but what annoys me most are single people who act is if they either don't care or actually care too much and get annoyed badly. When annoyed they want to celebrate VD with their friends and families and tell the whole world that they enjoy being single and eating Pizza. lol

I have known girls who got offended because they didn't get a Happy VD text from their friends. Seriously? Do they feel any better if their friends wished them a Happy VD considering they are still single the next day?

To me VD should be only celebrated by couples and people who are about to get together or confess their romantic feelings. If that was the case then VD would be less of a hallmark holiday.

Some people say VD is about every kind of love which I think is bs. If so then what is Christmas for? I have never received a VD message by a guy and if I ever did, I would never talk to this guy again. Stop bitching and accept that VD should be about romantic love only. Other than that it would be just a ...... hallmark holiday.

Neutral.

I appreciate small gestures, although no flower bouquets. Dead flowers are better left uncut, and within a beautiful garden. After all, what a poor declaration / demonstration of love that is -

Dead flowers to symbolise how short lived and fleeting your love would be ? 😆

Simply spare me the awkward public displays as well, which leaves me gagging. To receive them, and to witness them.

Well yes when you put it like that :/ I love buying fresh flowers and I have them in my house throughout the year.


Hah WonderWoman14, never mind me. I merely have an unconventional view in regards to floral bouquets. Although, for their purpose in interior design, decor, or purely for aesthetic / ambiance, I could and would approve of seeing them as so.

I suppose it would all be a matter of context.



What you said has really made me think and you're right. I Never thought about it in that context before.



Yes for the purpose in interior design etc it's context is different.

There are plenty of women who would want floral bouquets, merely because they would not want to be left out. They wish to be apart of the masses, if they see another lady carry a beautiful bouquet, they want one just as beautiful, if not bigger. Men, then feel the pressure amongst them, given one man was able to amass hundreds of rare roses, therefore it becomes a competition.

The meaning behind the gesture becomes lost in a case of competitiveness, and an ability to show others 'how lucky and in love' they are. It would no longer be about each other, or the love between them.

That is something in which I have always found ironic. 😆

Now this I totally agree with. I avoid social media on Valentine's day for this reason.
