Valentine's Day can be tough on people – for people in relationships there is significant pressure to make grand romantic gestures. For single people there is the feeling of being left out and feeling alone. The week of mush kicks off a whole week before Valentine’s starting with Rose Day.
Marketers are cashing in on it all, with a whole week for romance beginning with 7th February for Rose Day. Then there is Propose Day. Chocolate Day, Teddy Day, Promise Day, Kiss Day, Hug Day and then Valentine's Day.
This is the week when the price of roses is really high.
With all the red heart-shaped pillows and the teddy bears and the other stuff being bought, this is a time when some will make money.
For some who hope to make an impression on a special someone.
The rose is the queen of among flowers – I was taught this in school, I recall.
Other flowers will not do the job that beautiful red roses will.
Each rose colour is supposed to represent something: yellow for friendship, red for love and so on.
Are high – among couples as well as singles who hope they won’t be single for much longer.
Why should boys be the only ones to give roses? Girls should do the same.
Rose Day is not for single people.
…That have suffered heartbreak.
Rose Day or any other day --- it’s all the same.
With all the mushy romance on display, singles would rather just disappear for a while.
Some singles are sad… to be single.
Bernie! It seems as though the Bernie and his mittens are just made for memes – of all sorts.
Perhaps this is a day for singles to play pranks on others.
But not participating. This image of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma has become a huge meme recently, so it was bound to appear.
One organisation had a unique fundraising idea: they offered singles the option to have creatures literally take a dump on their exes. Useful way for those singles who had their hearts broken, to celebrate Rose Day.
