So an interesting debate at work this week has been what people do on valenties day? loads of people were saying we go for a meal or do somthing special, whilst a few others say they dont believe in it as its a pile of ol' tosh...... :censored:
unfortunately :cry: i sit in the group of singles in the office, and we were debating whether we should all go out as a group.
And then someone suggested we went to a singles party, but i was a little worried we would get there and the place would be empty.
What do are other peoples plans, and if you are single would you consider a singles party?
can't choose in this poll coz as it falls on a week day I shall of course be spending it with His :inlove:
We are arranging a meet though for the weekend for some valentines fun innocent

us too!
were not going out anywhere on valentines day! nice romantic meal once the kids are asleep!
It's a wednesday- so I'll be fighting.

Personally I think Valentine's Day was thought up by Hallmark because their sales were down in February and for couples to look smug. I have toyed with the idea of the 'singles' thing but I'm fairly sure I'd get there and be old enough to be everyone's Mum.

well as im now single i will probable be doing bugger all. Always used to go to resturant when we had money or i would do the whole AL Acarte dining experiance at home if we didnt.
As H-x said great time for Hallmark
H dont think you would be everyones mum..think they have a really good mix of ages..and anyway, old as ya feel and all that?? (or the cuteness of your ass, in which case youre 21!) biggrin
must admit when i was with someone used to spend a fortune on her for valentines so can see where you and wineman are coming from re intenrational hallmark day..perhaps everyone should just get really drinkies :beer: instead
It is funny - just last night I was thinking of starting a thread about V-day - but asking if people send cards or buy gifts for their swing-shags/fuck-buddies/play-partners.
Personally I think it is a bit creepy to do so - but then I have never bought into the commercial aspect of V-day and so associated it with 'lovers' not 'bonking-bed-buddies'
if i sent to any1 u would definitely get one polo redface

I'm married and will be doing the same!!!! rolleyes
Actually, I shall be in Paris with the other half on a 3 day short break lol
We spend all year showing each other how much we feel so we don't need a special day to show this.
However, we do like to have a night to ourselves (no kids wink ) but always do this either the day before Valentines or the day after because we refuse to pay the ridiculously bumped up restaurant prices!

I get what you're saying here but I kinda like the nonsense aspect of sending cards through the post all year round to my mates/fuck-buddies/play-partners but I make my own most of the time (unless I see a funny one) cause I don't like the commercial aspect either. I'd never thought of it as creepy before though... I just like nonsense and getting a card through the post rather than a pile of bills totally makes my day. :smile:
Am not really that fussed on Valentines Day, maybe it'd be different if I wasn't single but even when I've been in a relationship it's not that big a deal for me. I don't think I'd go to a singles night... part of me thinks I would feel a bit of a saddo but either way I'd rather be home talking bollocks here or out with the girlies talking more bollocks. wink
I generally buy Mr J a card but he doesn't buy one for me. I spend the day finding little notes around the house biggrin :rose:
It is an evening which we always spend together, be it a nice meal out, or a take-away with a nice bottle of bubbly. Our life is generally manic and so yes, valentines is generally our night which is solely for us without interuption wink
I think maybe sending something a bit naughty to your fuckbuddy/swinging partner is ok. Lovey-dovey would be worrying and for me, would signal the end of the sexual partnership.
I'm not fussed about V Day this year being single. It's just another day. When I was with someone, it was nice to do something special to show our appreciation of each other, so yes, I guess I've been sucked in by Hallmark!
As for a single party on V Day - brilliant idea! Not for me, mind. It's midweek and I have no money or babysitter and what would i wear!?!?!?

Polo you cynic! lol
I would send a play-partner a card or flowers on Valentines Day, not as a declaration of anything but as a bit of fun. Being nice to people doesn't have to be reserved for wives/husbands etc. The flowers would be delivered with a note like "I loved it when you did ******** let's do it again soon!" Not "I love you!"
I don't really like the commercialism of valentines day when advertisers are trying to make me feel that if I don't spend a fortune I'm a crap partner, but I will happily make a fuss of Mrs Kiss as it would seem very strange not to, it's engrained.
I prefer more unique offerings like writing a poem and making the card myself - I'm not cheap, I just prefer the personal touch.
BUT I do think it can be a good opportunity for shy people to send flowers or a card or tell somebody how they feel.
We dont tend to make a big fuss of Valentines day as we say our "I love you's" before we go to sleep every night. It may sound a little corny to some but it does make for a good nights sleep. There are other ways to show someone you care about them. Although we do buy cards now and again.

My ex was in the usual 'it's all bollocks and I don't need one special day to tell you how much I love you' camp ( meaning I'm not paying overinflated prices for flowers so don't even ask, woman ) rolleyes
Thing is, he never told me much the rest of the year and only ever bought me flowers once in over 10 years and they were flowers I hate confused
I'll most likely be working, doubt I'll get any cards or flowers so the actual day means shit to me.
For all of you 'loved up' couples who ARE doing something romantic, good luck to you and I hope you have a wonderful time wink
Single doing nowt
Those who are doing something have a nice evening :thumup:
Although I am single I wouldn't fancy the idea of a singles club on Valentines' night, but then I wouldn't fancy it any other night either lol
Wednesday is live music night at a local club, so work/mates permitting that's where I'll be.
In the past I have 'conformed' to V-day and bought cards/gifts for partners. I've always considered it a bit overated but it's what you do in coupledom. I have never gone out for a meal on V day though, prices are hiked up and I imagine the food wouldn't taste quite so nice. confused
I wouldn't even consider sending a FB a card though :shock: Not even a jokey/dirty one..it just doesn't feel right.
There are always at least 4 cards in the house on V-day though, the ones I send to my kids (anonymous of course) and the ones they make for me biggrin ( although, thankfully, my son has outgrown the idea that he wants to marry me! :giggle: )

mm yeah am beginning to wonder whether a songles night would be a good idea..although i imagine going with a few friends could be very amusing. lol
my housemate went speeddating with her girlie friends and they invited me, but i declined...i said that as there was like 5/6 of em, i would end up paying 20 quid to chat to her mates..not really the point is it! :lol:
Well with it being half term I am taking the kids down to see their new cousin and it's my daughter's birthday the day after. I may or may not be back up north to spend it with the tart. All depends on how my sister is doing. So as yet I have no idea what I'm doing for Valentine's day dunno
being single has nowt to do with where I'll be, it's work that rules that....
I'll be in a hotel near Wembley, alone :cry: unless any lady feels equally alone and needs a night out wink
Phoenix waits for the tumbleweed to blow by
well hopefully i will be taking him out for a surprise meal combining valentines day and his birthday - surprise becasue he doesnt yet know ive found out that his birthday is the 13th.....he has tried to keep it a secret coz he doesnt want any fuss but i found out by the power of snooping cool i wont make a fuss but im certainly not letting it go unnoticed boink
Well we were going to go for a meal but since we got our move date, we've decided not to bother and save what would have cost around £80. We know how the other feels and don't need to go out for a meal to prove it.
Bottle of wine and an early night will do the trick just as well I think wink
*Her*
Well, have to say, I will be spending the day on my own, at work, and then in the evening celebrating my birthday, on my own, seeing as I am single.
Still if anyone (female) cares to celebrate with me, they are more than welcome.... lol
