Just Say No To Valentine's Day

 

Or should you?  Since Valentine's Day is approaching.  You're not involved with anyone.  Starting to feel a little anxious?  Stop!  You can, and will have a wonderful day.

Remember you are not alone in this.  Not everyone will be celebrating with their significant other.

What will you learn here today?  The "how to's," and the, "who cares!"  In this Valentine's Day Survival Site.  A little bit of what I mean.  Did you know that 15% of U.S. women send themselves flowers on Valentine's Day.  My response, "who cares?"  And guys, this site isn't just for the ladies.  Here's one for you.  Only 27 percent of women buy flowers for their mate.  So unless your in that group, I wouldn't make jokes about those who buy for themselves.

My mission here is simple.  After reading this hopefully you will feel much better about the, couples only day.  And also enjoy a laugh or two.

Let the laughter begin!

This Isn't To Make You Sad! 

It just happens to be a really awesome song. C'mon admit it, you like the song! If anything the clothes are pretty funky! I trust there may be some laughing going on. Hey, they aren't that funny. I use to dress a little funky myself.

February 14th Just Another Day 

Coping on Valentine's Day

The question is do you want to? Would you rather wallow away the day, covered beneath the heaping pile of blankets.
And make sure your cell phone is turned off? I mean, for crying out loud, someone may want to do something with you. So by all means, "Just Say No To Valentine's Day!"
You can go and cry like a big old baby all you want. Trust me, it won't solve a darn thing. And to be perfectly honest. I know because I have done this.
Or, you can have some fun. How you ask? Let me share some ideas with you right now. As I said earlier, I just want you to feel better. Have a laugh or two. I know this can be a very stressful day. But remember, it doesn't have to be. I want you to take a look at the many things I have provided here. Watch the video's. Start smiling! And, if you have to. Remind yourself that February 14th, is just another day. This too shall pass.

3 Choices For Valentine's Day 

1
This truly can be an "Unforgettable," Valentine's Day. If you want it to be. Your first choice is to start planning. Planning what you ask? Making it much better than you ever dreamed it could be. You are very special, and extremely capable of enjoying a day on your own. Or with a group of friends.

2Getting drunk and crying to old love songs. Although I provide a site that offers a premium line of wines. That's not the option here. Remember if you pick this choice, you will pay for it. My guess would be with a tremendous hangover? Is that what you want?

3And last, but certainly not least. Under no circumstances do you try to get in touch with your "Ex." Do yourself a favor, their not worth it. No matter how tempted you might be. Do not allow yourself to even give thought to this person. There is a reason why they are your "Ex." So when you're thinking about calling them, don't.

5 Ideas for a Happy Valentine's Day 



Still not sure you have the right mind set on this. What I have found to bring joy during what could be a depressing time. Would be to share with others. I know what you're thinking, "who cares!" Just bear with me. Allow me to share 5 ideas for a happy Valentine's Day. I truly believe this may be one of your best days this year.

1You know how you're feeling. What about a dear friend who may be going through a very difficult time? Why not prepare a basket of their favorite things. Leave it, with a card that says, from your guardian angel.

2Or, maybe someone has always been there for you. Or someone who you admire. Let them know what they mean to you. This is the day for showing how we feel about the ones we love. Take the time to find them that perfect card. If you want, get creative. Make it!

3What about your grandchild? A niece, or nephew. Plan a special date with them. Take them to their favorite restaurant. Or a movie. The possibilities are endless. They will love it!

4Play Cupid! Hear me out. You are not alone in this. I'm sure there is someone you know who doen't have a significant other as well. So Cupid, it's up to you. Send them a bouquet of flowers, or candy. Sign the card anonymous. I'm sure it will brighten their day.

5Visit a relative you haven't seen in a while. Take along a goodie or two. Something you know they will like. Spend time reminiscing. Sharing a bit of laughter if only for a little while. A few hours with a dear loved one, can make a tremendous difference. I promise!

These five ideas do not have to be extravagant. Sometimes the smallest things, can bring the biggest smiles. When we give, we in turn feel better. You see, everyone wins. You will find deep enjoyment in knowing YOU made someone's Valentine's Day special.

I Hate Valentines Day (Paperback (Trade Paper))

I Hate Valentines Day (Paperback (Trade Paper))


I Hate Valentines Day Finally theres no shame in hating Valentines Day Whether single, dating, married, or divorced, the dreaded February 14 arrives each year to ambush our self-esteem. No other 24-hour period convinces otherwise happy folk that theyre in fact social pariahs. But now comes protection from the ritual onslaught of Audens 12 Songs, saccharine cards, and suffocating expectations. I HATE VALENTINES DAY is a bitingly funny guide to getting through the Big Day painlessly, including tips on people and places its best to avoid (Indulge your chain restaurant cravings because no one will (or should) be celebrating at Harvesters), ways to take your mind off being single (Dress up like an exiled member of the royal family who has hit the skids), and last-resort measures (Invent a long-distance relationship). I HATE VALENTINES DAY charts a welcome path back to the innocent days of candy hearts. Chapter Three Emergency Dating So youve rethought V-Day. Youve deprogrammed your brain, deconstructed your expectations, and reset your meter. You judiciously considered puppies and babies and other innocent creatures. Thats great. But you still want a date for the big helliday. You just do Because, whatever, its the point. I cant say that I approve. Werent you paying any attention to the last chapter Your entire love life does not hinge on this one day. But I also understand that it is not my approval you are after. You are seeking a V-Date. Dont look at me -- Ive already got mine lined up. Every year, around February 10 or so, people stop fooling themselves. Up until this date, it is easy to tell yourself that you are FINE, JUST FINE with spending the blessed day by yourself. However, no matter how healthy your attitude, it becomes easier and easier for your resolve to crack as the day approaches. The peer pressure becomes too much to take. Friends start planning elaborate, show-offy displays of affection involving horsedrawn carriages or flying dirigibles. On the side of every passing bus, V-Day-oriented advertisements taunt you with their saccharine, passive-aggressive slogans. The final straw is always (always) the Very Special Valentines Day episode ofLaw and Order Special Victims Unit.Before you know it, all your carefully cultivated resolve is out the window. You need a date, and you have less than four days to find one. Never fear. Its totally doable. But before you camp out on the street corner with a sign that readsWILL WORK FOR DATE,you have to figure out what youre hoping to get out of it. This is a more complicated question than you might realize, and you are advised to tread carefully in your decision, lest you choose a partner for your romantic low-key evening who is more inclined to take you to a sex party or swingers club. Section 1 My V-Date, Myself So why, exactly, do you want a V-Date Be honest. Remember, no matter what answer you choose, thousands of other singlefolk are looking for the same exact thing. A. I want to g

Number one reason why Valentine's Day Stinks!
To set aside one day to express our deep love for someone, is insane. If we show the love we feel for this person daily. We can avoid the over spending, hours at the Mall finding the perfect gift, going blind reading stupid cards. Because they already know they are loved. And no amount of money can equal that feeling.
(paid for by the Valentine's Day Haters Association)

Carrie can help 

So if you're not feeling the love thing. You can still have a very festive look. Let Carrie show you how. Sure to perk your spirits!

Sign the guestbook 

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will.

My goal here is to give those who may be spending Valentine's Day alone some options. And also bring a few smiles to your face. It is in no way to minimize your situation, or to make light of it. Enjoying the 14th of February is what it's all about!
Thank you for visiting,
Chloe

A very good idea to offer this resource. You could also mention that lots of people in relationships - even happy relationships - pretty much say no to Valentine's Day as well.
