If you are one of those people who assiduously followed Rose Day, Propose Day and then had some grand gesture to make on Valentine's Day, this post is not for you. This is for all the singles out there who footloose and fancy-free – who would rather celebrate singles awareness day rather than something as schmaltzy as V Day.
It can be irritating to be single, while simply everyone else wants to show off their shiny, happy, lovely relationship.
They were going to be alone on 14th February – worse they were going to have to explain this to couples expressing sympathy and/or curiosity.
Perhaps it was a love than died. Perhaps it was love that was never birthed. Perhaps this is just a face incapable of happiness.
You don’t need a valentine to be happy, says this post.
Single, but hopeful.
Single and ready to mingle said this tweet. Wonder if anyone swallowed the bait there.
About their single status and other life problems.
This is a pretty broad appeal – to anyone willing to be their Valentine.
Someone suggested this: be unlovable – to save money. Sounds convoluted but could work.
Being single on Valentine ’s Day sounded good to many of the tweeple.
Sometimes being single may not help one keep out of trouble.
Those in love seem convinced that their love will never die. It does, however, die. Alas.
Singles can do a lot of stuff alone – well maybe not all of that stuff.
All the love and the hearts and flowers can get a bit much – particularly if one is single.
…Just way creepy!
Staying at home can be a lot of fun as this Twitter user suggests.
Remember we all die alone suggests this tweet as an antidote to feeling awful about being alone. While that is true, I am not sure that that is much consolation for the single person feeling alone and left out on Valentine’s Day.
