Would you not do what you normally do on a Sunday? I'm in a relationship and that's what we'll be doing.

It sure isn't the same as not being alone but you have to make the best of it so you might as well enjoy the bit of self love you give yourself

Fixed it!

It's Sunday.. I'll watch Liverpool hopefully beat villa, and have a few spuds at some point

Spend the day praying the poor postman doesn't break his back Monday morning bringing me all the valentines cards that were 'delayed' in the post, poor sod!

Study until lunch, go for a long run, shower and chill for a bit, maybe go for a drive if its nice, cook up a storm this eve.

Nothing special at all!

MRnotlob606 · 14-02-2016 11:07AM

I am going to meet up with the love of my life after my barring order expires

We will sip martinis under the corsican sun as a serenade her with my own quality rendition of "Good Vibrations"

seenitall · 14-02-2016 01:53PM

I just woke up, gonna make myself the Chinesey dessert of honey bananas fried in coconut batter for breakfast

then go for a nice (and brisk - need to burn the honeyed banana calories!) walk by the sea, get some more good food in on the way, then lounge around, browse the web and plan my next holiday, and generally treat myself adoringly! It's the only way to not feel like you're missing out as a singleton

Happy Valentine's everyone!

newbee22 · 14-02-2016 02:57PM

Happy Singles Awareness day. I must gather up the energy to go shopping, going to buy myself a present!

ToddyDoody · 14-02-2016 03:09PM

I rented someone for the weekend. I used escorts.IE

Fun weekend, reasonable rates.

Not all single people though

Oh yeah I know - today is going to be the same Sunday for me as any Sunday. I will admit I do feel a bit of a pang on Valentine's day if I'm single, but it would be pointless to get upset about it imo (unless as I said, heartbreak/recent break-up). I'm single all the other days too - why zone in on just one?! :pac:

lertsnim · 14-02-2016 03:33PM

It's the one time of year i am glad to be single. The pressure I see some lads putting on themselves for it is ridiculous.

A large pinch of salt needed there too. Those Valentine legends have no proof whatsoever.

It's just another day for many - whether alone or not.

Doylers · 14-02-2016 03:37PM

Cant wait for all the offers on chocolate tomorrow, it will be my time to shine:cool:

aaronjumper · 14-02-2016 03:38PM

I'm heading out with a group of friends. Just so happens we are all free and in the same vicinity for the first time in months and so decided why not.

Party time.

Does anyone really actually care about valentines?
I always thought it was just an excuse for people in relationships to have a row!

Some people do care about Valentines. It's an excuse to be romantic. One year he sent me chocolate, a teddy, flowers, a balloon all that. It was nice.

brummytom · 14-02-2016 03:40PM

I plan to stay at home and do fuck all.

It is lovely, especially early in a relationship, but part of me does think there's an element of "it's the done thing, you have to because someone said so and everyone else is doing it". I think such gestures can be made any day.
However a day celebrating love and romance in general is hardly a bad thing.

Yeah it really can become "just the done thing" and I think that kinda ruins it. Half of me wants the fuss and half of me thinks why do I want the same thing I see all my friends getting.

You all have me thinking now about my perfect idea of a valentines day.

I'm not a chocolates and teddy kind of girl. Cook me a lovely dinner and take me to the sea for a walk underneath the stars. Buy me that book I had my eye on.

Ah well

Stealthfins · 14-02-2016 04:57PM

Think I'll go night fishing for Bass that night.
Valentine's what a load of ostentatious bllsht.
Yes I'm a single average looking guy,but St Valentine can leave me high and dry....

tomwaterford · 14-02-2016 05:43PM

I'm pure delighted for it anyway....Waterford bate kk

Hopefully going out to meet a friend in town to celebrate (I'm driving though...but fcuk it!!)

Rubberchikken · 14-02-2016 05:48PM

god don't give it any thought.
based on what i hear, a lot of those couples are out and visible just so that their 'love' can be seen by all. how many are truly sitting in some restaurant, eating some overpriced meal having paid for some overpriced flowers and wishing to god they were at home.

don't cry into the cat op, you'll only wet his/her fur. valentines day ain't worth that:)

RobertKK · 14-02-2016 06:15PM

Being single is great.

It's only the league

Squeeonline · 14-02-2016 07:00PM

Single for now.

Got up around 9, met a friend, we made jam (no innuendo, actual jam), I watched the rugby with no interruptions.

Now I'm in work for a little bit to get a head start on the week (couple hours today saves me a whole day later in the week).

I'm sure it would have been lovely to have a partner today to spend the day with, but if you need a special day for that, you're doing it wrong.

Fox_In_Socks · 14-02-2016 08:23PM

Yerra, it's one day of the year. It won't you to be single. T'is not the end of the world.

McChubbin · 14-02-2016 09:28PM

I generally don't give much thought to Valentine's Day. I've been single for nearly 7 years and whilst that is a slightly depressing fact, I don't wallow in it. My mother has a tradition of treating it as a day to show love to the family so that's what I tend to do.
Simple gestures, really- for example, last week my mother spotted a dress in Dunnes that she liked but she didn't have the money to buy it there and then. I ended up going back and buying it for her on the sly and she was made up.
My stepdad gave me a bag of Haribo and my mother rounded out the day by cooking a lovely steak dinner with all the trimmings before we all sat down in front of the tv with a few glasses of wine and some Lovejoy re-runs.

14-02-2016 09:44PM

I've never not been single on Valentine's day.
Or Christmas day. Or my birthday.

#foreveralone

But I've ordered a spice bag, which should hopefully arrive soon. At least comfort food loves me.

ygolometsipe · 14-02-2016 10:07PM

6am: poem writing - romantic themes
8am: watch all of the twilight movies

4pm: record a love song on my guitar

11pm: relax with a romantic novel

same thing I do ever valentines day.

Single on Valentines
