Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

At least unlike so many people on these forums you showed some common sense and broke up before valentines day saving you from wasting money on flowers and the like.0 -
We all know it’s a big crock of **** and that it was made up to sell cards, fill restraints and make jewelers money but do any of my fellow singles out there feel worse / lonelier on St.Valentines Day?
It wasn't made up for this, its an old tradition that dates back centuries.
Here's some fun Valentines Day facts!
It's really just carrying on the tradition, like most holidays are. I sent cards to my boyfriend and family and friends, spread a bit of love, let them know I'm thinking of them
Sadly I can't be with my Valentine though so my restraints will be empty

Facebook is not for discussions. Boards is.
Hmmm, I posted "14th February, the one day where love CAN be bought" as my status and have had nothing but likes
(and all from people who are in relationships) 0 -

When I was younger I knew a fella that broke up with his girlfriend just before Christmas one year and got back together with her in January, just so he wouldn't have to buy her anything! The poor girl couldn't see what was wrong with this.
The miserable git actually tried to do the same less than 2 months later for Valentines day, but when he tried to get back with her afterwards she finally copped on and told him where to go!0 -
I find the people/couples I know that don't celebrate VD tend to be the boring and miserable type.
Some people are just plain tight. Some can't afford to go too crazy but a card will cost 2 quid and you can get a decent bunch of flowers for a 10er somewhere.
As for me, got the gf a bouquet of roses, some jewellery and I'm treating her to dinner this evening.

“roses are straight,violets are twisted bend over luv you’re about to be fisted”.=(:-) Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude (-:)=

One of my best mates who I secretly loved passed away a few weeks ago, he had asked me out on a date a few days before he passed away (the feeling must have been mutual) so I'll be sitting in thinking about him
Very depressing day for some people, it actually shouldn't even exist.0 -

It's bollocks but it's also the cause of some really nice sweet stuff - like kids making cards, making a new relationship feel special, etc.
It's what you make it - I personally see it as a day where people are sweet to anyone they care about, not just their partners if they have one. All the paraphernalia is just a racket but little sincere gestures are nice.
It's just a bit of a laugh too.0 -

If it was just about that 'sweet stuff' you mention then I wouldn't have a problem with it either. I have fond memories of making cards in school and getting my first card from a boy.
Unfortunately like other holidays and days of celebration-Easter, Christmas, -Valentines day has been appropriated by corporate entities out to make a quick buck charging inflated prices for flowers and cards and other gifts. It ruins the spirit of it for many people.0 -

Oh yeah, Love Day in The Simpsons lampoons it brilliantly - but I just ignore that crummy commercial fake bullsh1t and focus on the meaningful stuff.Greentopia wrote: »It's bollocks but it's also the cause of some really nice sweet stuff - like kids making cards, making a new relationship feel special, etc.
