My Valentine's Day Story

Post Reply New Topic

So I tried to break the trend, by actually doing something on Valentine's Day. I asked a friend to dinner and a movie. She said she'd rather stay at home.

I appreciate her forthrightness, but it still hurts knowing that given a choice between hanging out with me, and being alone, she chose the latter.

f**k MY LIFE

Things will get better. I've had similar Valentine's to you. I was Charlie Brown without his charm.

Try not to despair, sir.

Things will get better if you don't let the sadness overtake you.

Read a good book. Hang out with us on WP.

Make yourself some popcorn, and watch a good movie. That's how I've survived my loneliness.

She could be depressed and just not feel like being with anyone. She could have plans for something she likes to do at home. She may be tired. She could just enjoy her own company. She may be waiting for a guy who she likes in a romantic way to call her, since you are friends and not in a relationship or dating that is a viable choice to not hang out with friends so you will be free for a love interest to call. She may have thought you were trying to take your relationship with her to a romantic level instead of a platonic one.

Then again, she could just be one of those "worthless liars", or maybe she just didn't want to put herself in the situation to be judged horribly at a future time when something comes up at the last minute and she has to cancel. Since she is a friend she may have heard you talk about your feelings about how bad women are who won't go out with you.

Someone not accepting a date isn't always a reflection on you. Many times it's about something they would rather do or how they feel physically or maybe they have something else going on.

And as a result we BOTH spent the day alone.

Happy motherf****ng Valentines Day, indeed.

I understand you're pissed.

There will be next year.

Trust me, I've had years of "No Valentines."

Just pursue your life in an honorable way--and you'll find the right person. The person who is right for you.

Count yourself lucky. I'm married and my husband spent the day elsewhere playing D&D.
