I have to agree with honeybunches. I never had a valentine, so I would love to just have a girl, my girl with me on that specail day. Just being with someone you care about a lot on holiday and events is good enought.

It's supposed to be so happy because it's a day of love and mush, and love is happiness.  But for single people, they don't really have anyone to love, and seeing all the people in love, especially on this day just makes them sadder. If you focus your attention on somehting else besides your lack of love, it can be happier. I've found voulenteering at an old folks home, showing your family how much you love them, and then buying yourself chocolate and something shiny helps.  Especially the chocolate part.

go ask her then. It really, really sucks to be alone on Valentine's. Believe me, I had 17 alone Valentines and I knew. \n\nThis Valentine I have 95% to be with somebody. He has been my bf for 9 months. He's in Texas right now but he will be back in time for Valentine, unless, God forbid, something happens to his mom.

I am coping with one myself. One way I cope with it is to send him gifts for Christmas and other holidays just as if he was here. Another thing I do is talk a lot to him on the phone and on instant messagging. We send e-mail and e-cards to each other as well. But in the end, there are three important things to remember in a relationship: trust, love, and loyalty. By acting like the distance isn't that far, the time passes a whole lot quicker and before I know it, he is going to be back in two months!\nI hope this advice has really helped you out!

Well, since Valentines Day is over, maybe you can celebrate St. Patrick's Day!\n\nGo to a dinner show, or a dinner dance, or a local hang out that offers 2-for-1 specials.\n\nWe have a local restaurant that has steak and lobster for 2 with a special dessert that you share.  It is a lot of fun, and they have cozy seats so you can snuggle.

Not a doctor by any means, but the first thing I would determine is why I was depressed.  The solution depends on that.  Not to be mean, but just because it's V-Day is not a really good answer.  I would think that it might be something deeper.  Just a thought.  In addition, I think that the worst thing you could probably do would be to be alone.  Call up some friends.  Go out and have a good time.  Don't sit at home and pity yourself.  I don't know if this is what you're doing, but if it is, STOP :)

I'll always reward myself with little present, spend myself to watch moving "egg: funny movie, meaning full movie", get a close friend go traveling...etc. but what important is yourself must think positively, make yourself happy, do the thing that can make yourself happy. if you can switch your mood positively. go to find a good book to "clean" your sad & lonly heart. Be happy, coz there r still someone care about you.

I think you need to learn how to be with yourself for a while. I understand how lonely it can feel, but if you can't learn to deal with yourself, how you can expect you deal with others.\n\nLove yourself, then you can know what it means to love others.\n\nYou can't always expect to have someone else always be there for you. Your always going to end up alone anyway, so its better to get used to it.

Try not to dwell on it. The more you spend time thinking about it the worse the situation will become. Loving someone doesn't always mean being with them so be as supportive to him/her as possible without becoming more emotionally involved. Focus on other aspects of your life that get you out of the house and spend time with other friends. It won't be easy to get over not having your love returned in the way you would like but you'll have to or you might risk losing your best friend.

Do you feel like there is something missing in your life? Odd to answer a question with a question, but think about it. Yes you have friends and family around you that care for and love you. But is there that ONE person, or even just some one a little extra special? You could also just b going through a really tough time right now. And I know that nothing can suck more than having a bad day and coming home to an empty house(and cats don't count as some one to come home to.) If you want to stop feeling alone then don't be alone. Surround yourself with fun and up lifting people. Do a girls night, don't eat alone and don't keep to yourself. You're feeling down, so tell those people who care and I promise they will help. Who know you better than the people that you love and care for? So it's those people who could probably offer the most help and support in a down time for you. We all have those times when we're feeling down, so you're never alone when it comes to feeling down.

Just go through it like any other day... No big deal. Chill out. You probably feel bad not because you need your friends that much but because you haven't found that special someone. But I see no reason why this has to be the accent on Valentine's day. Until you find your other half, it's just a day in February. Go chat online, you'll find a lot of people like you and perhaps you could even meet The One. Hugs!!

This is good, that you've come to this conclusion by yourself.  Now, you need to go on with your life.  Date other people, or go out with your girls.....keep him off your mind. Maybe between you and him it just wasn't meant to be, and it seems that you've accepted that fact.  Maybe you'll eventually find love in someone else.  Who knows.  In the meantime, enjoy your youth, while you still have it.  Have a good time, go to some concerts, or festivals.....whatever.  This is your time to party.....and maybe, just maybe, you may find the love of your life.  I wish you the best of luck............

Everyone i guess, always gets the feeling of being lonesome. It usually happens when you tend to act on your own and it seem that you don't wanna trust outside. You lock yourself in your own world. TRY TO OPEN UP TO LIFE; TO THE WORLD itself.Celebrate life at the moment, by seeing the presence of others. Once you do this , you will find people around you who accept you, recognizes you and loves you just the way you are.

I have got no valentine.\n\nSo, as ususal, I would just sigh looking at those couples having a wonderful time, and I would again ask God - "Why me is alone?"\n\nOn getting no answer as alwaya, just come back from there, try to concentrate on studies, and get unhappy...telling myself - "Tommorrow is going to be great.."\n\nSo, its better to look at those people having good time, and hope that someday even I will be happy..but dosent make much of difference.

I have been alone for the holidays for a couple of years now and yes, it can be depressing -- when I allow myself to be (was actually feeling it a bit today, myself).  In the past, I chose to make the day about myself and being good to myself with all of my favorite things -- food, movies, a good book (great wine) -- include those things that you love in your day.  A day to -- first recognize the holiday, of course -- and then pamper myself and appreciate all that I do have rather than focus on what's missing.\n\nSome people deal with loneliness by giving to others -- I plan  to spend Christmas this way. Others need to take care of themselves before they can give to another.\n\nSpend your day by doing those things that are important to you. If spending time with your son is important and he happens to be with his father's family -- then make it about your son and plan/create a fun surprise for his return.
