It is the pressure of the holiday, love. It hits all of us at least once if we live long enough.
In my case, no romance, I will spend time with mates and then do uni homework in the best company of all, my two black lab mixes!
I have been alone before, and yes, it has arsed me, but I am sure I won't be without a love for long, so I keep a stiff upper lip and do things that make me happy.

You feel sad because you think are alone. You are not alone.

If you truly are alone with no friends, no family and no co-workers; alone in the truest sense of the word, you will find that if you look inside yourself and consider your origin and have peaceful love-filled thoughts about who you are, you will find that you are, in reality, never alone and you never were.

You are fit and healthy and that is a good place to start to know yourself within, since your body has no complaints to distract you from finding the goodness in yourself.

If I were you, in all practical sense, if you have the means, buy yourself a Valentine card and your favorite flowers and enjoy the day as best you can. Love is in your future, keep looking for it in all you do.

If you are feeling brave and full of love, why not ask someone to be your Valentine for the day?

An anonymous gift or note to someone that you like or care about may help you through the day, as well.

I think the problem is that there is a desire for there to be a special person, and you have completely forgotten the most important person who you will spend Valentines Day with!

Buy yourself some chocolates, pick some flowers, get a good DVD, and make yourself a nice meal.

What would I bring to the party if I was there? - why do you only miss that on Valentines day?

I know how you feel. I broke up with my bf 7 months ago after being together for 7 years and I couldn't be happier. It is the best thing that I have done in a looonng time. Still I am bummed that I will be alone on v-day. Get together with some single girlfriends and watch a sappy chick flick. Try to remind yourself that it's not always a bad thing to be single and enjoy the day.

I'm married now but when I was single and if my friends and I weren't with people, we would sometimes get a group of single friends together and have a "singles day" dinner - if the mood felt right to do so. Honestly though, Valentine's day is really hyped up more than it needs to be and it's really not that big of a deal.... :) Don't fret...

Don't feel sad, go and treat yourself to something nice, cook yourself a nice meal and watch your favourite program or movie.

Or go out with some single friends who you'll have a laugh with, you never know you may meet next years valentine ?? :-)

Happy Valentines day for tomorrow :-)

Be special to yourself first. Then buy a card and pop it through anyones door or leave it under a car wiper blade if its dry! You'll have done a special treat for someone man or woman and they wont know it. I'm a wiccan and if you a good turn you get in the roundabout way three good things happen in your life. Try it and see.

Corporate culture seeks to create "needs" for their products to generate revenue, and the social culture (no pun) buys into it. Being single on February 14 doesn't make you a failure any more than a woman without kids is a failure on mothers' day or someone without xmas presents is a loser, yet we're told to think that.

Don't believe the hype. Spend time with your friends or make more, and if you are alone and need something to do on the 14th, go and rent a movie.

Being alone isn't a bad thing or a sign of a character flaw.

> Maybe tonight its a movie
> With plenty of room for elbows and knees
> A bag of popcorn all to myself,
> Black and white with a strong female lead
> And if I dont like it, no debate, Ill leave

Only natural to want to spend it with some one special and more so if you are fit and healthy.

Just let your imagination run riot, with a bottle of wine to drink by the end of the night you won't give a damn. Anyway you are special yourself so there you go enjoy your own company and read a romantic novel.

Exactly, be glad you're healthy. All of the "Hallmark" holidays stink. Valentines Day is a reminder to singles that they are alone. Don't let it bother you. It's a holiday motivated by the greeting card industry. My husband and I don't even acknowledge it. It's just like any other day.
