Topic: Will You Be My Valentine?

Sun 01/27/19 11:49 AM

I remember when I was younger and a guy asked me to be his Valentine and it was an awesome feeling.

I wouldn't mind having that feeling again... that to me would be even better than chocolate.







That's what I was talking about. Back when I was a child the feeling of the day was magic. So much crap gets in the way as we get older including people that need to recount the origins of the holiday.

Here is the deal the way I see it, a woman that can retain those feelings, and hopes, of youth is a woman I want to know. Take your bitterness, suspicions, disappointments, and cynicism and stick them up your azz. I want no part of it.

I don't care much about Valentines Day but that might be because I had nothing to celebrate.

I don't need much. No card or flowers. Don't need to go anywhere expensive.

Order a pizza, light some candles, play some music and gimme lots of attention laugh


Yes... lots of attention! laugh

Regardless of whether I have had someone in my life, I've always loved Valentine's Day. The energy of love and romance is something to treasure and it's at a peak on that day.

We shouldn't need a day to remind us to pay a little extra attention to each other, but sometimes while living every day life we take for granted the ones closest to us and forget to add a little romance to the relationship... so a little help with this day isn't something I see as a bad thing.

:heart: :heart: :heart:



This is interesting! I thought You found YOUR Valentine !! surprised

Oh, must have got the wrong. Message.laugh waving





As far as I know you weren't sent any message, so yeah I think you simply assumed more than what's really going on... No matter! waving

"You do not celebrate Valentine's Day Sahin?"
///
in general i can not celebrate. but if I have to give a gift to someone, I give my present on his day. I give my present on the day that she will be more happy.

For me, the first day I meet a lady is more important.
or
for me the first day I met with a lady is more important.

for example, the wedding anniversary presents a more important day.

Valentine's Day is a good opportunity for companies to increase their sales.
but it can still be celebrated symbolically.


In summary;
for me is not Valentine's Day, it is important the dear. her heart is to make happy.

Nowadays people moan when they don't get expensive presents,



I've never experienced anyone moan about a valentines gift

If it comes from the heart, very few women would not appreciate it.

it's the one day a year you can create a awesome romantic memory for her

Get to it mate, even if she's a complete stranger, on Valentines, everyone should feel loved


oh my, John, what a beautiful thing to say happy flowerforyou waving

My point was that I don’t need them to spend money to make me feel special.

Expense is not the goal.

I agree with JBH:thumbsup:
What I remember is the feeling of being loved and cherished not the actual gifts!

My plan this year is to buy a dozen roses and hand them out individually when I go walking to my favorite elderly ladies that are aloneflowerforyou

I helped a elderly gentleman find some things at the store Friday, we happened to get in line to check out at the same time and I helped him unload his cart. They had buckets of silk roses sitting there and he bought one, handed it to me with his thanks. Best Valentine's day ever!:heart:
But I say that every yearlaugh

whoa nah, that ain't to much...pfft..


Do I detect sarcasm? Why?


That should be done more often than one day out of the year, but what the hell do I know, I'm a loser at love.

I hate the commercialism of the day. Absolutely despise it. However, I do love the feeling of the day. I still remember the happy feeling when you ask the girl you like "to be your Valentine" and she said yes. It was an awesome feeling then and having a woman who wants to be your Valentine now is still kinda awesome.


Love is a beautiful thing with the right one, there is nothing bad about val


Exactly! :thumbsup:



Asking mostly single and probably unhappy people about Valentine's day on a dating/social website seems like a good way to get a mostly negative response.


laugh I see that slaphead Silly me! tongue2

I'm sure there are still some of us that are positive and are hopeful to experience romance in our lives..... eventually whoa

bigsmile


I for one love Valentine's ❤ I send my mini and grandbaby a rose and candy and of course a new stuffed animal. We are Charlie Brown freaks so it's always an adventure finding something. Then we do a movie and dinner.


Vakentibe's can be sad for some. Inspite of being singke im not loneky jusy akine for now. . The previous comment was made in jest. Whilst it was my hooe ti find a partner wmhere when i joined maby years ago. Ive had a couoke if relatiinships with winen ive met in the tmreak workd. . i stay a nember of the forums because there atecnice people here. All you lovers, have a fantastic VValentino's, i'll be loving myself!

oops


We have a choice Funky.... it can be a day we feel sad because we alone or it can be a day where we feel the energy of love in those around us. This year I'm choosing to embrace and feel the love and enjoy all the cute things that others do to make someone feel special.




Yesss :thumbsup:

That's really nice KitKat and JBH, I understood what you were saying and didn't think you were saying anything different flowerforyou

KitKat, we used to do that with the roses on Mother's Day at the resort I worked at in the Keys... it was awesome to see the smile on some of the women's faces smile2

I doubt you're a loser at it, you're one of the sweetest men I know. flowerforyou

And of course it would be nice if it's a daily thing. Valentine's Day doesn't negate the need for it daily, it just is a special extra day... just like birthdays, mother's day, father's day, etc... We honor our parents on their birthday so it's not really any different.

I had a g/f who always complained about her ex husband buying her stuff for the kitchen as gifts.

Ironically after taking her out for an expensive dinner and giving her a nice necklace she gave me a skillet for Valentine's day. frustrated

If it was so important it would be a paid holiday, sad but true.
