You have no fucking idea what it's like to NEVER get experience romance or non platonic love from someone, ESPECIALLY on Valentine's Day. Same! I’m 40. TBH what I miss most is the Galentine’s day parties my friends used to have before they all got married. We’d drink fancy cocktails or shakes when we were younger and watch the highlights of all the best chick flicks and play board games and eat an insane amount of chocolate and snacks. IMO Valentine’s Day is a day to show the people you care about how much you love them. My mum was in an abusive relationship and only 4 years ago did they get a divorce. She never received flowers or chocolates or any sort of romantic gesture / gifts. I agree. I'm probably going to have this convo soon with the woman I've been seeing for a couple months. I'm big on Christmas and birthdays with a special someone, but after 20+ years in two marriages, I just really can't seem to get fired up about Valentine's Day and Sweetest Day and the monthly anniversary stuff as being anything "epic" just because of the date on the calendar. Don’t allow a single relationship you might not have yet make you feel lonely one day out of the year. Because you aren’t alone. And when 24 hours is over and a new day begins, rush to the nearest store and stock up on chocolate because it’s 10X cheaper the day after. Not a holiday like Valentine's day. It's too specific to one person in your life. Most holidays aren't like that. Plus you could unintentionally make the person feel BAD about not having anyone to celebrate that day with. I don't see any good reason to ask unless you like them You only don't have someone to spend it with until you do. Enjoy having the time to focus on getting better yourself and before you know it someone will come out of no where for you to fall in love with. Plus you have enough time to try and find someone else who wants to not be alone on Valentine's day on a dating app. Stay strong !
