Valentines Day Blues

February 11 2014

I've just returned from a lovely holiday and find myself with a big hit of post holiday blues. Valentines is also round the corner a day that I can honestly say I have never had much luck on and neither have I ever had a partner to share the day with. There are few issues with personal life also, hence, I am a walking cloud of doom and gloom. I love the forums so for my first one I'd like to ask, what are your plans for Valentines day? How do I get over my bout of blues? Here's hoping that there's a lot of positive energy to go around :D Maybe I just need some ice cream ha Happy Valentines to you all x - Posted from rhpmobile

    Aww... I know how you feel. Getting back to everyday life after a fantastic holiday is hard sometimes. Why not text all your friends, facebook or whatever it is you young people do to communicate , and get a group together to go out and have some fun on Valentines Day? Besides you are young and gorgeous and it's your duty to keep yourself free to play the field!! So go and get all dressed up in your finest and go tease all the boys. "You can look but you can't touch"

    When I'm single on Valentines Day I often host/organise a singles party where we're all encouraged to share our romantic horror stories or past Valentines failures. I use it to celebrate the great things about being single and to remind everyone that we have love in our lives in many ways other than romance. Why don't you try something like that?

    We are thinking about you, and although ice cream certainly helps :), just know that you have friends who are always thinking about you. XXX

    That's the best Rhp name I've encountered! Very very good advice, and certainly one.bb I'll consider putting into place, unfortunately I'm the only singleton amongst my friends but I'll think of something. Thank you, you are also gorgeous :-) x. Hi Foxxy, I love Ben and jerrys but I might have to go with connoisseur ice cream, now that's some yummy stuff! Thanks for your reply :-) might do this again!

    I have always spent the Valentine's Day alone, except for 2013, when a nice gentleman from RHP invited me to spend that special day, and the next day, with him :-) I usually totally forget about that day when it has actually arrived, because I am too busy with other priorities. But if I was reminded, then I would call my single friends out to have a nice dinner, and spend the night chit chatting away about anything and share some laughs together :-) Don't feel sorry for yourself because of the lack of luck in that department, prior to and on, Valentine's Day, it's not worth it and it won't help anything at all! Perhaps take Meeka's advice and go out dressed up beautifully, you never know what's round the safety corner :-) - Posted from rhpmobile

    If I happen to have someone special on the day, I'll always try to make it a good one. This year, there's nobody, so it's just another day of the year. I'll get up, drop the munchkins off at school, and go to work just like always.I won't feel any more or less alone on the day.. CheersJAB

    Valentines day is kind of like romance at gunpoint...... and you girls out sooooo much pressure on yourselves and each other over it.... it's nearly a kind of bullying, the bragging over what he gave you versus what others received or did. ...... I'm single and I say.... fukkit..... I make those women in my life feel special, and will offer a token gesture of friendly acknowledgement to them..... I will also be enjoying nights out this week in the knowledge that I will be amongst the best in majority single company on Friday, when all those couples will be doing the same ol same ok drink/dinner/flowers/bonk combination out if obligation to Hallmark . :-) DG - Posted from rhpmobile

    Maybe you can join some of a ladies and spend the evening with us?? I'd love to dress you up in a pretty party dress,do your make-up and hair. So how would you like your hair done??? Straightened?? curled?? I'd say peachy eye-shadow color would highlight your eyes. The shoes?? 8" or 10" inch heels? OH bring your "friend" along too, the one in your profile pic. Such a handsome young man, could do with a make over as well. ;) That would be so much fun! AND when we're done, we'll hit the town! How about it.... Foxy

    Quoting 'Mischeviouslad'Valentines day is kind of like romance at gunpoint...... and you girls out sooooo much pressure on yourselves and each other over it.... Yes, I agree with the "Romance at gunpoint" bit. But no one responding has mentioned feeling sad about V day, have they? Please don't say "you girls". I've never cared for/about V day in my life. As a matter of fact, after what I'll be doing on Thursday night I'll probably be recovering on Friday...

    I agree about the The word "GIRLS". I would like to think we are "LADIES" here. IMOE there's a HUGE difference between a "girls" and "ladies". Foxy

    I'll be recuperating with a girlfriend of mine after a night of debauchery and 4 guys... Woohoo...... BTW, hubby and I don't celebrate Valentines day, my hubby, rightly so, believes you should always show someone they are special, you shouldn't need a day to remind you to do this or even give you a reason! Ohsowet, your young, be vibrant and celebrate the fact that you have the world at your feet and a great life to experience..... I know that on top of it all is the holiday blues, so maybe it's time for a spa day and get pampered, then when you go out order some tropical drinks :). Good luck and Enjoy

    Yes I was..... based upon general experiences beyond RHP where the mainstream is a little less 'liberal' (another generalisation). ....Ironically meander, you are applying your own view as a generalisation across the wider populous. I think showing appreciation in one say if the year because you're instructed to do do.... I'd neglecting the other 364 where you can choose to. DG - Posted from rhpmobile

    The sky wont cave in if you girls dont get the red rose and box of chocolates on V Day. Some will , some wont.. this year I plan on taking someone special on a sunset dinner cruise but I'd do this even if it was'nt V Day. Seriously' I dont even rate the day as that special.. My woman is special every day Sad'ly' I know a of a few girls who sent them self flowers to the office just to look the part in front of others.. is that peer pressure or what ? Personally ' I think its just a over commercialised grab for money at the expense of the vulnerable few who feel they are missing something...

    Even when I was married and in other relationships I refused to "celebrate" the day. I'd rather ignore the day then do something romantic on any random day because I want to rather than because I feel pressured. Bodacious nailed it, get some single friends together and run amok. Be outrageous, be adventurous, do something you've never done before.

    No need to feel blue OP as really its just another day. Bless marketing for getting into our minds. Like a few said, just savour it with other single friends who's company you love and make a night of it. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Why should you feel any more single or any more loved up than any other day of the year? Just another day where other people feel they have a say on others lives "oh you didn't get anything?", " oh you're single", " oh I can't belive that bastard didn't buy you any flowers!", "he spent $300 on roses, what'd you spend?!" I'm not pro Valentine nor anti Valentine, but jeez this day comes with a ridiculous degree of outside pressure and obligations. Should be renamed "judegement day" for men and women alike. Come Feb 15 it's all forgotten about. - Posted from rhpmobile

    We don't celebrate by mutual loathing of Hallmark holidays and the fact that our wedding anniversary is only a week behind it. But the day comes and I feel a little blue, yes we agreed, but there is sooooooo much of it in your face I do feel like I've missed out. Stupid! I also feel mean when I refuse to do Halloween :( Damn Marketers!

    Me and I don't celebrate Valentines Day. Although it would be nice to receive a bunch of flowers or something Mr is not the type to give gifts. He believes every day should be Valentines Day and thus I should be adored and loved all 365 days of the year without one special day. Hell we don't even celebrate our anniversary. I'm not even sure either of us knows when our anniversary it is Taby xx

    It's just another day to me I see too many people making such a fuss about it though, I'll never understand that I guess. I figure if you love someone then make each day special except birthdays, you gotta make those 'extra' special I say just treat it like any other Friday, that's what I'm gonna do, so I'm gonna go to work, then the gym, then pick up takeaway on the way home, feed my puppy, eat dinner watching the news etc etc - Posted from rhpmobile

    I'll put a lust-spell on them and hand them out to people I want. I like this idea. Suddenly I'm the evil Queen from Snow White though, not sure how that happened but meh, I'll roll with it ;) I often do give single red roses/heart shaped chocolates to my friends/team on V-day though, with no romantic intentions or suggestions. Love making people smile, any excuse! If you get one from me, watch out, I'm evil, talented and very very twisted this year. Muuaahahaha! Ohsowet, if you like Valentines day, get involved, give your friends and family cute little tokens, giving makes you feel the love :)

It isn't actually the gift that matters, it is the fact that he has thought of you which is important. Funny, a friend of mine was only just saying to me that it's the women that ensure important days are remembered and celebrated. Like Christmas, and birthdays, and anniversaries, etc. Let's face it everyday life can be pretty mundane so it's nice to make a special occasion of some days. Isn't it?? So boys - don't me so fucking boring!!

    Two years ago I arranged to meet a man for coffee. I walked across the crossing, looked up and there he was! He smiled at me and my heart skipped a beat. That was the day I fell in love. Two weeks later we were engaged. Then right months ago he broke my heart when a girl young enough to be his daughter decided he would be a good provider for her and her kids. A world of hurt and nasty things said and done later... now we barely communicate. No I won't be doing much this valentines day - Posted from rhpmobile
