This is the BEST time of year to be single, not the worst

Nope. Just my awesomeness. But it does sometimes get confused for a narcotic.
I enjoy being single and not having to worry about it. The thing I hate the most though (And as someone who works at various schools this applies mostly), is when people start kissing and smooching in public for all to see. Do it at a Restuarant, fine, but other than that, the term "get a room" applies.
Especially if your partner actually says "I want something for Valentines day."
I like the day after Valentine's -- half-price chocolates!
My husband works in a grocery store, so tomorrow I'll be getting half-price chocolates and flowers.
We've been married for 16 years and known each other for over 20 years, so we're laid back about Valentine's day. We don't get each other cards because they're just a waste of paper. We treat ourselves to something small and inexpensive we can share, such as a CD. Also, Husband's birthday was 9 days ago, and for me that's a more important date. I will make a cake later on, though I don't need an excuse to bake yummy stuff.
Yeah, I think that's kind of gross. A little PDA is fine, but making out and groping and whatnot in public is just crass.

Yeah I saw that in FB.
I think the only issue we had was when to announce our engagement on FB, but mostly because we wanted to tell everyone in person first.
V-Day is only a big deal if you make it. I think the only difference for me this year was that I got us concert tickets and decided to wait a week to give it to her today. And maybe crack open a bottle of wine.
We're annoying enough with the lovey-dovey stuff anyways, we really can't crank it up anymore.

Meh, it doesn't hurt me any. If people want to make out in public I say go for it.
I would suggest that this is the salient part of the issue: if you're the kind of person who wants to do something on Valentine's Day, it sort of behooves you to be with someone who likes doing something on Valentine's Day. There are plenty of men & women who care about Valentine's, and plenty of men & women who don't.
OK, if this is the sole area of incompatibility in an otherwise fantastic relationship, sure, a difference of opinion about the significance of Valentine's is no great shakes, obviously. And some great relationships seem to function on the basis of permanent mock disgruntlement and complaints between the two partners. But sometimes, people's grumbles are real and potentially symptomatic. Many people end up in relationships they're only partly happy with; it's up to them to decide if the good outweighs the bad and it's frequently no-one's specific fault if it's vice versa. Just needs recognising.

I also work in a grocery store. My shift started at 6 AM on Feb. 14, and almost immediately there began a steady procession of obviously desperate guys who headed straight for the floral department with an "Oh shit, I am SO in trouble" attitude about them.
I admit I had just a tiny bit of schadenfreude at that time.
Well, if you're sad about being alone on Valentine's Day, just remember that nobody loves you on any other day of the year either.
I have loved ones in my life. Why should I worry?
How...slightly disturbing.
She sends me cards for pretty much every single holiday. And $20!
Ahh, fair enough. I woke up to a few full inboxes, including some messages from people here which was fun and unexpected.
Know that feeling, the only wishes came from women who are involved.
that sucks even more.
Especially if it happened to be your Birthday,
