valentine's day? What do you do?

[bramble]

Thanks very much Hot stuff.
Life has'nt always been easy but we've worked through it like millions of other couples.
We realized we had something good together.
We try to make the most of life together but i have to say, he is a true romantic.

No not grumpy atall, romance to me isn't about bling or huge boxes of chocs/bunches of flowers it is when he sees you've got a tummy ache and makes you a hot water bottle without being asked, or telling you, you look lovely when you are full of cold and you know you resemble a snot monster but he says you are still beautiful, that is romance to me.

Reminds me of most romantic thing mine ever did. Was newly pregnant, full of cold and had wicked trapped wind (stop me if you've heard this before) and had to get up at 4am the next day for work. Got up next morning and found pack of tissues, lockets, tunes and Windeze in my coat pocket!!
He hates being told what to do by card shops too, he is not spontaneous type except on rare occasions

[BrideXIII]

i wake up to breakfast in bed, and a cuppa....same as every other day.........only with a card............from my sons............as usual.

romantic it isn't, lovely it is.

I shall buy myself chocolates, and red wine, and give my self the day i deserve.

I am very much a romantic my dear old Dad used to tell me, I am just like my Mum, live in airy fairy land when it comes to being a romantic!

I'm not having a go at anyone on here ok! I just wanted to point something out.

It is just very very hard to be romantic when you have no partner, or even a good friend of the other gender to be just a little romantic with, share the time with, go out for a nice meal or for a drink to cheer each other up!

Valentine day is just another day for us single peeps to watch happy couples and wish we had that someone special to share it with! Same as any other so called special day of the year.

I do however want to wish you all a happy valentine's day, what ever you do or who ever you are with!
Love to all
xx Jan

Some of us GRUMPY LOT IN THE CORNER did not have a choice in the matter of being alone!!

Believe me I do understand I was alone for a very long time before I found my OH, and I do know that I am very lucky to have him. My words were meant in jest (along the lines of the Secret Santa Norty Step), I hope I haven't offended you or anyone here.

well yes I was just a little hurt by that remark. Perhaps because I am a little more sensitive at the moment, I have been going through a tough time last couple of weeks.

I have been mostly alone for many years since my OH walked out on me and the kids, they are now all grown up! I have never had a steady partner that was really there for me ever since!

It took me a few years to find another man that I could really love, only to loose him nearly 4 years ago because of mixed reasons but biggest one being, in the end he emigrated to Trinidad. We still talk now and then, still love each other but for lots of reasons we can't be together it is hard being alone when you know you have so much to offer but no one to give it to.

wishing you a lovely time on valentines anyway!

[Pumpkin Becki]

I am truely sorry to have caused offence.

I like the idea of Valentine's day - gives you an excuse to celebrate something you may sometimes take for granted (like Christmas does for families). Like most people, however, I object to the cynical price hikes on flowers, restaurants etc.

This year, J and I are going to Paris for that weekend. The trip will cost the same as it would any other time of year (in fact it'll be free because Eurostar screwed-up our last trip so badly!).

[Glutton4...]

I'll probably be in the corner with the rest!

OH is a romantic, but now doesn't agree with being ripped-off. He'll do or buy something, just a gesture, and I'll probably forget until after the day then feel bad about it!

[dexterdoglancashire]

I'm not romantic at all, poor OH, he still is, even after 25 years!

This year we are off to a do at the golf club, and as our best man is the vice captain this year, we are off to join him, both to support him and to have a lovely meal.

I can understand where you are coming from, having given up on love and romance in my late 20's / early 30's, boyfriends came and went, and I was getting desperate to find Mr Right, then I realised that I needed to stop trying to live me life always looking for something else and just enjoy what every day brought to me, enjoy the things I could do as a singleton and not worry about finding anyone, if they were meant to be in my life, then they would!

2 years later I met Mr D, and 6 months later we were wed, both being very romantic (must tell each other I love you at least a dozen times a day!) all the time! I dont need a special day to celebrate, as we celebrate each and every day together!

Mind you, Mr D, an offer of getting down n dirty in the mud on the plot sounds good, fertility rites isnt it? Just as long as no-one else is on the plot, otherwise they'd think we've lost it! lol!

*glad I think that I don't have a plot near the dobbys! lol
