Category: Let's talk
hi there. i am curious on the valentine day this year. any new couple? any date? how many of you are still single and enjoy alot like what i do? whats the real meaning of valentine day to you? any special memories?
Well, my boyfriend is in Paris so we don't have any contact today but I think of him a lot, that's all I can do at the moment.
Afternoon tea at the same hotel that Inspector Morse used to go to, that was jolly good fun.
well, I have never received a valentines card, but in my opinion valentines is slightly over commercialised.. sure I think there should be a special day when couples can show each other how they feel, but a special day of that couple's choosing. this morning on the radio they were in a florists shop talking about the prices of bouquets, and 24 red roses on this fine day will set you back £130! hmmm wonder how much they'll cost next week?
I sort of coerced my friend Chris into being my Valentine. He's so sweet. He got me a huge bag of M and M's. But he's not here today since he's visiting a college so I'll give him his gift tomorrow. He's also my prom date, hopefully. Also, I made up little gift bags for my friends, and one girl made cookies for the single people only.
Valentimes day is great it makes [people happy unless they're lonely and don't want to be, but why is it that people need valentimes day to encourage them to make that extra bit of effort, to go further in order to demonstrate their affection for the person they love? if you love somebody you should want to show them that love regularly and you shouldn't need a day in the calendar for this to happen on.
because hallmark decided that it should be so. another day to make money with all the cards and hart shaped chocolate and teddy bears ... oops is that the scinic in me?
I don't really need valentine's day just to send something to my boyfriend, I'll use the date when we're together six months for that.
well I'm proud to announce that our mate
Damn! Try again... I'm ecstatic...and proud to annouce that our mate Stevie proposed to his fiancee Matilda, on the stroke of midnight when Sunday the 13th, became monday the 14th and she accepted without hesitation..So we are now all invited to our 1st black metal wedding! That will be an experience and a 1/2.Grin.
well thats all very lovely and congrats to your mate and all that, but I do still think that valentines is so .. well look at people who get married on valentines day. it's not your special day then is it. not to mention, once again, the cost, grin
Thankyou he's very excited smile..I agree though it is completely...and the idea of getting hitched on valentines is so cliched and nauseating also their desperately buying into a pink and fluffy dream "if we get hitched on feb 14th the marriage will have a deeper significance we will always remember this wonderful day"
............
the cost yep its estimated that a modern wedding costs £16,000! you can buy a very decent car for that and have years of unadulterated pleasure...and she won't talk back or bring up your increasing list of faults...
well, im single now. this boy was gonna ask my out to day. he put a shout out on the radio show at my school. like, 20 of my friends woke me up calling from school this morning telling me he did. but im home sick so i missed it. lol i feel bad for him. he payed all that money to put a shout out on the school annoucments and i didnt even hear it. oh well, its the thought that counts lol BTW, i would have said no to him cause we went out two times before. the first time i broke up with him and the second time i broke up with him again, actually technicaly he broke up with me. but umm thats a long story.... lol but anyways. im single. so boys on the zone, im still free. ;)
well my cousin paid 23 grand for his wedding .. admittedly not on valentines but .. none the less it was 23 grand and she left him after 3 months
Feck! ...can I ask do you think he was trying too hard to impress with the big expensive do ...hmm its an impossible gamble really but good luck to those who accept the odds.
.......
FHSL thats sweet but by the same token do you suspect the lad was hoping for 1 last chance..he may not have recovered from your last split...
well, he really hurt me with our last split. and umm see what happend was. two of my friends told me he was gonna break up with me. so, to make my self look good (yea, that was stupid) i had to hurry and break up with him and i did. and he got mad and was saying how i never take anything serious, my music sux and its stupid how im a deaf advocate and stuff. and now im best friends with his other ex girl friend. which is weird. and i just dont like him. hes been mean to me but now hes all nice again and trying too hard to act "cool" around me. and he keeps asking me these weird questions like.... "do you own a vibrator" and "what would you say if someone wanted to sleep with you but not have sex" and theres a lot more. he just asks me stupid things and is an annoying shit. so yea. im done.
*this should have gone in the ramp board*
Oh yeah, I think that valentines is good for those who have argued or something like that to gorgive each other. Some people really do that.
FhSL He sounds really immature and insecure with regard to the way he treats you far too many lads put on a show of what they see as macho behaviour, in order to show "the guys" that they are still capable and in their eyes mature,its all a matter of them feeling intimidated and unsure of the next move..they are just little boys way out of their depth
Insele87 wouldn't you be supicious if your lover hid behind the standard roses, chocolates in a heart shaped box and so on instead of them being able to admit "I was wrong can we sort this out"
....................
all that valenties arguement solving nonsense is a subtle form of emotional blackmail..and eh if I tried it..christ!....
I don't mean forgiving by giving presents. I mean having time for each other to talk it over. I don't know what all these presents mean - being together or - for those who have a long-distance relationship at least a call or a lovely email - means more to me than any present in the world.
its valentine day just meant for lovers?
Nawawawaw! I got a nice card from my mommy and Daddy and my mom gave me chocolate! Hope y'all had a lovely V-Day.
good caitlen. thats great!
well, I think it's for friends and lovers, but somehow I have too few friends so nobody gave me anything. Not at all.
well I think lovers, or potential lovers anyway - I think that if you sent a valentine to a friend, unless it was someone you'd known for absolutely ever, they potentially might get the wrong impression and that could be detremental to the friendship
Insesle... why should a lover in the wrong use
feb14th to apologise, I see that as a very empty gesture and to me it would mean very little ..if you are mature and realistic about your relationship then any day is ok for discussing and sorting out problems not just valentines.
I don't really care about sending presents, but - well, if for example your partner didn't have time for you for a long time, some people may consider this day as a day to do something together, watch a movy or things like that. I don't say that I do this but - some do.
hmm and I would want nothing to do with a creep who sees feb 14th as a valid excuse to show that he/she cares, its shallow superficial and very hurtful..
...And your right far too many do this and their opposite number falls for it every time, maybe the poor fecker's just glad of the attention.
Y'all should have been at my school. Full of boys giving girls flowers, etc etc. It was ... I dunno ... odd. However, as I'm not into that boy/girl relationship type thing quite yet, I was on the sidelines, witnessing the whole thing. Quite interesting...
And sorry In that yo udidn't get anything. XOXOXX. I only really got stuff from my parents ... but that was enough! Heh.
how sickening still the majority of teenagers are desperate to fit in and they really want and need,to believe, that their "admirers" really give a damn..they'll learn...
Well aS I already said, I'm not that kind who uses that day for apologizing or something like that, I'm just thinkig that some people might do this.
it is very true that some couples argue and fight all year round but when it comes to wedding anniversaries and valentines etc they go overboard and it's so false
Agree agree, couldn't agree more! It's all about show and looking food on V-Day for the most part. I mean, okay, not all the time. Like my English teacher and her husband were really romantic and cute about it; went to dinner and everything. Her husband seems quite the gentleman. He sent her flowers at school, and left chocolates in ehr car and so on. I think that's cute. But couples going around and being all cheery when theyr'e notmally not, and teens mooning over flowers from so-called boyfriends just for show and attention is utter nonsense!
ok ok, summary of points here. Valentine's day is overhiped by the card and flower sellers, and if you honestly care about the person you are with, you don't need a specific day to demonstrate that kind of affection. I'd buy flowers at any time of the year if i felt like it. why choose one day in the calendar year to tell someone how you feel when there are 365 in a year to do so.
Stefan your right man today I bought a bunch of blood red carnations purely on a whim,and my partner adored them..mind you I'm still hoping for a box of Geurlin sea shell chocolates..smile
well I became a part of a couple the day before actually but I guess I didn't last there too long because, well .. in the nicest way it's meant to be taken, I missed my single life which is really weird for me since I was so looking forward to a first relationship! but, no-one was hurt. we're still very close friends.
and to answer the other question I read, my Mum use to give us chocolate hearts in our lunches every valentines day, and in 93 my sister and I got a little kitty each after school! so no guess it doesn't just have to be for couples! Lol
A kitty? Awww! I woulda loved that, to get a little kitty! Awwawawaw I'm so jealous! And yeah, who says V-Day is just for couples? Whatn onsense...
I'm not missing my single life, I just miss being closer to my BF.
I've nothing to miss...Lol.
well I may start to miss my single life again. that was a factor before we got back together at least :)
liamerven.com has a great bit about valentine's day... ok. cheap plug, I'm sorry
There he goes again, branding his name about the place as if he were a tin of baked beans. There's a game on his website called Super Liam, I do wonder whether the chap has narcissistic tendencies, you know.
