I'm bothered by Valentine's Day, but not because of the day itself, but because I'm alone. And unlike many people on this thread, I've always been single. I'm not going through a phase of a few years of being single, I'm not just out of a relationship and happy about it. I'm glad other people are happy with being single (on Valentine's Day and other days), but realistically for me, it's just another way for the world to mock me. To show me something I'll never have. I would like to be able to say someday that I at least had a date for Valentine's Day, or at least for any day, but I'm hard-pressed to even find people to go with me to even a concert for example. A concert that literally everyone I know will be attending. And I still go alone. And it's assigned seating for some of them, so it's not that I can go then find people once I get there. The last concert I went to was the first time in a long time that I actually went with someone. I guess I can just pretend that it was a date.
