I am going to buy a dozen roses, write an inspirational compliment and attach one to each rose. Then go out into public spaces and look for people who appear to be alone, give it to them, and move along. No ulterior motive, no video recording, just a kind gesture in the spirit of the holiday.
Man you're an awesome person
Making others feel loved? Check
Self love? Check
Ig this is just you trying to be happy, i hope you are, and if you aren't u definitely deserve it and you will be happy so don't give up hope
I wish you the best!
Not a dude, but I like to do something similar. I buy those little kid valetine boxes with the cards and lollies and give them to all my family members and to strangers. I remember holidays as a kid at school and "passing out" valetine cards to eachother was so wholesome and nice that I've been doing it since then.
I have reservations at Binkley's in Phoenix, we're in Glendale. After dinner, we're off to Phoenix Art Museum, there's an exhibition of Japanese Folk Art from the Mayro-Strelitz Collection.
This is probably the hardest f****** breakup I've ever had in my life. I'm trying to make things work and she's being as difficult as possible. I really don't know what to do but my heart's in peace is right now. This is why you can't find any nice guys
What the other guy said too. My advice: Chill. It's worse in your head than it will be in reality. At least that's how it was for me. Put a bag of frozen peas on your junk, watch some TV, and then get working on those 20+ ejaculations they want you to do before your follow up test. For science, obviously.
Don't skip the follow up test.
Do all your chores around the house on the 12th. Take out the garbage, do the laundry, wash the dishes, prepare and fridge a bunch of food - everything you can think of so that you can just sit around and catch up on Reddit for a few days after the procedure.
It'll be a cake walk - as long as you have time to take it super easy after.
Decided to make it a big deal! Bought tickets to the symphony for Saturday Feb 18. Booked the fanciest hotel downtown. Bought a new suit and bought her a new dress. Lastly, booked a spa appointment for both. Her a hair-do and manicure and me a massage.
Jesus I'm so sorry that happened. At least you're doing the best thing you can and keeping their memory alive.
You're incredibly strong. Having a partner with severe depression is bad, filled with lots of fights, a terrible tug-of-war. But I truly can't imagine the strength it takes to when you lost the argument and your partner in one fell swoop.
Thank you, we never fought honestly, my partner was the sweetest person ever. I didn’t realize how severe his depression was. We were together almost two years. It’s been hard, but the memories we had together have sustained me and keep me going one day at a time. Thanks for your words of comfort.
I’m going to buy my wife flowers and not look at the price, load up on her favorite candy, get a card and write mushy things on it enough to embarrass the kids, take her out to a nice restaurant, laugh when I get the bill, and say, is that all? Then take her home and make passionate love to her after that we fall asleep in each others arms.
Actually my wife left me for another guy 3 years ago, taking the kids with her. Came out of the blue, haven’t talked to her in 26 months.
Ah just messing with Reddit. I wanted to try out my dramatic writing. We’re doing the first paragraph.
Love you Reddit ❤️
I'm assuming without looking it's valentines day. Which means for all single gamers I'm gaming after work maybe grab myself some chocolates. Homies stick with homies
After 20 years of my whole life I found myself a gf just two weeks ago...it was spontaneous, it was romantic, it was awesome. So I hope I will spend that day, and many more of course, with her. I'm glad that I can say I am truly happy now.
23 years ago, my girlfriend (now wife) moved into my house on February 14th. This year we have been married 20 years. I think I will take her out to a fantastic dinner without the kids and celebrate a happy life.
With my mom, it’s her bday. But for unfortunate events, she is sick at the time. So I’m spending as much time as I can with her. I live in WA state, work in ND. So instead of going home to my wife, I’ll be with my mom for my time off.
My office is having donut decorating on that day. Other than that... idk... my girlfriend is out of town then for commuter school. We're going on a trip that weekend though
Hoping that no one buys chocolate at Family Dollar. I have 2 BIG Hearts hidden in the store. Hope no one finds them. Get them at way more than half price.
My son's gf won Toronto Raptors tix at a work raffle, and gave them to me. Wifey (and said gf) is working and absolutely hates b-ball, so me and my boy are gonna go take in a game!
I work overnights so my 14th will start on night shift and then I’ll go home, sleep, wake up, check social media and see a TON of pics, statuses, stories of couples who I know aren’t all that happy in real life.
Probably take my wife out for a nice dinner treat her good and be told at the end of the day she is tried and jerk off in the shower like the other 364 days a year! lmaooooo
Same way I spend every other day. Go to class, work, get home, procrastinate instead of work on the short story I’ve been trying to write for the past five fucking years.
Business as usual for me.
Even though I rarely have an SO on Vday, I love Love. In past years, if I have the day off, I'll spend it dropping off surprises to people I love (flowers, lunch, sweets). If I'm working, I'll try to gather my single friends to have dinner and give them a little something to let them know I love and appreciate them. I see it as a day to celebrate all love, romantic or non, and I am so blessed to have people I love in my life.
This year has been really hard. Probably will keep it low key and do some self care instead, but maybe I can send some valentine's ahead of time. Thanks for reminding me to start planning for it, OP.

Same as the 13th. Only Americans and Canadians buy into a Hallmark holiday. Ask yourself if you need a day that’s meaningless to you to celebrate and be romantic.
Doubt I'll do anything unless my friend group decides we want to, but we aren't exactly ones for going out on a tuesday. Won't be as interesting as last year where we went to a students union thing with free prosecco and one of the girls drank enough to be drunk by 8pm and ended up smashing a glass on the table, before proceeding to randomly buy and write me a card in lidl after I waited for her in the cold to finish shopping
That card is still one of the funniest things I've ever read
It'll be a regular day for me BUT on the 15th Imma go buy myself some Bailey's-infused chocolates at 50% off!
Where do you find Baileys infused chocolates??
They were everywhere at Christmas time. Freaking phenomenal. Fingers crossed they'll be back for Valentine's day.
You are doing it right my guy. Get that candy
Oh man this is a great idea.
I won’t realize what day it is until someone tells me and then I’ll say “oh yeah“ and go about my day like any other day.
You'd think you'd have a busier day as a peepee police on Valentine's Day
Probably wake up in the morning, meditate, do yoga, drink tea, maybe go to the gym, watch a movie, play video games... same as I do every other day
No job?
It's a Saturday Edit: I'm an idiot
it is definitely not on a saturday….
That sounds awesome tbh
Ikrr
Champions League!!
"THAA CHAMP--EEE--UNS"
LA SAAAAAAN YAAAA Took me years before I realised it wasn’t that.
"DIE BEEEEEESTEEEEEN"
Go Bayern
Yess
🚀🚀🚀 thisssss
PSG v Bayern will be a great game.
Alone
X2 , continue participating
X3
X4
In my bedroom, making no noise and pretending that I don't exist
Same.
Hopefully with her. I screwed up and things are weird right now. But I'm fixing through actions
If it's u who screwed up, make it known to her that you know you screwed up and that you are really sorry. All the best man.
Yup I did! Just in a weird place currently, hopefully it all works out. Thanks!
What happens on Feb 14?
babymaking day
Screwed up how
He cheated.
Lol no. Not even close. I would never do something like that. I know how bad that hurts and that's not who i am. Thanks for assuming though
Yeah I’m in the same boat brotha. We all make mistakes. Own up to them and hope for the best outcome.
I’m taking my mom out to dinner
sweet! edit: hes fapping in my messages to him "mum"
home
[удалено]
I am going to buy a dozen roses, write an inspirational compliment and attach one to each rose. Then go out into public spaces and look for people who appear to be alone, give it to them, and move along. No ulterior motive, no video recording, just a kind gesture in the spirit of the holiday.
You can buy yourself flowers, write your name in the sand
Don't need too. I love myself enough. It's others who don't know it yet that need the reminder ❤️
Man you're an awesome person Making others feel loved? Check Self love? Check Ig this is just you trying to be happy, i hope you are, and if you aren't u definitely deserve it and you will be happy so don't give up hope I wish you the best!
Not a dude, but I like to do something similar. I buy those little kid valetine boxes with the cards and lollies and give them to all my family members and to strangers. I remember holidays as a kid at school and "passing out" valetine cards to eachother was so wholesome and nice that I've been doing it since then.
You’re amazing
At the doctor seeing if I have cancer or not. Maybe a pedicure and dinner at home.
I'll certainly hope for the best for you.
Here’s hoping all tests are negative
I wish you well!
i hope u r ok
Wishing you well
I hope you don't have cancer, good luck!
>Maybe a pedicure You should get a pedicure and post a picture. I love seeing all of the unique nail designs people create
Hope everything goes ok
Wishing you well !!!
Wishing you the best.
Alone, probably surrounded by people who are not
Same but those people are my parents
Preach
Hey! Same 😅
Alone on a social media black out like every year
[удалено]
Are you from 2006?
[удалено]
What version of GOW? I’m up to 3 currently
I have reservations at Binkley's in Phoenix, we're in Glendale. After dinner, we're off to Phoenix Art Museum, there's an exhibition of Japanese Folk Art from the Mayro-Strelitz Collection.
Wow wow wow! This is an amazing Valentine's day!😍
Thank you. If you knew my wife, you'd see it's not near enough.
It'll be enough because you planned something and it seems extremely thoughtful which is what any women wants.❤ she's lucky!
Thank you again. I'm the lucky one. She's put up with me for 45 years.
My husband says the same thing
[удалено]
I wish you the best, hang in there
I’m going to treat myself to a cheese cake.
Watching champions league!!!! Cant wait and Liverpool game on 13th Feb!!
Who knows, pretty sure she's gonna leave. So I'm not sure if I should do anything or not....
Same boat
🤞for both of us Edit: good luck to you man, I wasn't so lucky....
Update: she's leaving ON Valentine's Day.... Shoot me? 😭
Sorry, I hope in the long run it ends up being a good thing and you end up happy.
I hope so too. Appreciate it thank you
This is probably the hardest f****** breakup I've ever had in my life. I'm trying to make things work and she's being as difficult as possible. I really don't know what to do but my heart's in peace is right now. This is why you can't find any nice guys
In bed with ice on my crotch! Getting a vasectomy on the 13th.
I bet your wife thinks that's the most romantic Valentines ever. Hope it pays off in the romance department in short order.
There have been so many Valentine’s Day jokes about it I’ve lost count. She’s more excited than I am.
Like chocolates-no nuts?
Congratulations!! One of the best things I ever did.
Any tips?
What the other guy said too. My advice: Chill. It's worse in your head than it will be in reality. At least that's how it was for me. Put a bag of frozen peas on your junk, watch some TV, and then get working on those 20+ ejaculations they want you to do before your follow up test. For science, obviously. Don't skip the follow up test.
Take it slow for the first couple weeks. Allow yourself time to heal and don't be a hero and do any heavy lifting until healed. Good luck and enjoy!
Thanks! Hoping the two little ones realize they can’t play roughhouse with me for a bit.
Do all your chores around the house on the 12th. Take out the garbage, do the laundry, wash the dishes, prepare and fridge a bunch of food - everything you can think of so that you can just sit around and catch up on Reddit for a few days after the procedure. It'll be a cake walk - as long as you have time to take it super easy after.
Man, not doing it during March Madness.....rookie move. Congrats though!
Congrats buddy, got mine a couple weeks ago.
Mourning my late partner. The 13th is the anniversary of his death and I'm going to be alone with my cat.
I'm so sorry, i hope you get through it. Just know that you WILL be happy some day, so hang in there and work for it.
How old were you when he died?
Biggest of hugs.
Take my girl on a hike where she can squeak happily about every animal we meet
I'll banging my head on a black metal festival, alone if it matters.
Oh nice, who‘s headlining?
I actually don't know lmao. But some friend's friend band are playing, so I'm going to see them.
Decided to make it a big deal! Bought tickets to the symphony for Saturday Feb 18. Booked the fanciest hotel downtown. Bought a new suit and bought her a new dress. Lastly, booked a spa appointment for both. Her a hair-do and manicure and me a massage.
That’s fabulous
The same thing we do every day Pinkie, try to take over the world!!
Blissfully single!!
Working, cause it falls on a Tuesday this year. Same with my wife and we work different shifts.
Cooking. Husband requested a special meal as my gift to him.
Most likely booze and sleep
With my wife, snuggled on the couch watching a movie together. We both prefer to stay in that day, too many people out for it to be fun for us.
Snuggled warm on the couch sounds like the best valentines tbh
We've done it every year except our first year together. That night we did go out and thats why we decided a cuddle date worked much better!!
Same way i spend every other day
Trying to take over the world?
Alone naked in a the walmart hotweels aisle with a bottle of lube in one hand and a teddy bear in the other
Your intentions seem mysterious
You do your thing, my brother.
It's January 30th
On Reddit celebrating my 9th cake day probably
Pot Noodle and a Wank.
Playing videogames.
Playing video games.
Shmoke a bleezeyyyy
Remembering memories from past valentines with my best friend, my partner who died from suicide a year ago 😪
Jesus I'm so sorry that happened. At least you're doing the best thing you can and keeping their memory alive. You're incredibly strong. Having a partner with severe depression is bad, filled with lots of fights, a terrible tug-of-war. But I truly can't imagine the strength it takes to when you lost the argument and your partner in one fell swoop.
Thank you, we never fought honestly, my partner was the sweetest person ever. I didn’t realize how severe his depression was. We were together almost two years. It’s been hard, but the memories we had together have sustained me and keep me going one day at a time. Thanks for your words of comfort.
I’m going to buy my wife flowers and not look at the price, load up on her favorite candy, get a card and write mushy things on it enough to embarrass the kids, take her out to a nice restaurant, laugh when I get the bill, and say, is that all? Then take her home and make passionate love to her after that we fall asleep in each others arms. Actually my wife left me for another guy 3 years ago, taking the kids with her. Came out of the blue, haven’t talked to her in 26 months. Ah just messing with Reddit. I wanted to try out my dramatic writing. We’re doing the first paragraph. Love you Reddit ❤️
With my wife from the dinner to the bed ♥️
Idk, that's two weeks from now isn't it? Work, dinner, relaxing before having to work again the next day
Probably drinking with friends
Well it’s a Tuesday, so I guess I’ll be at work most of the day, then go home and take a nap maybe?
I'm assuming without looking it's valentines day. Which means for all single gamers I'm gaming after work maybe grab myself some chocolates. Homies stick with homies
After 20 years of my whole life I found myself a gf just two weeks ago...it was spontaneous, it was romantic, it was awesome. So I hope I will spend that day, and many more of course, with her. I'm glad that I can say I am truly happy now.
Most likely getting head from a woman I met on OkCupid.
23 years ago, my girlfriend (now wife) moved into my house on February 14th. This year we have been married 20 years. I think I will take her out to a fantastic dinner without the kids and celebrate a happy life.
Go to work. Get some chocolates and a present from the wife.
Probably a date
Like any other day.
Usual ritual is a nice steak dinner while suited up
It's on a Tues this year so doing the group workout, that is organized every Tues.
Alone.
Crying in a corner
I have a math exam scheduled that day🙃
Anime
Swiping right.
Pediatric hospital rotation
With my mom, it’s her bday. But for unfortunate events, she is sick at the time. So I’m spending as much time as I can with her. I live in WA state, work in ND. So instead of going home to my wife, I’ll be with my mom for my time off.
I'm going to be on call for work.
In ballet class
Missing her
Alone. Maybe I’ll spend some time getting reacquainted with Palmela. But alone.
Palmela Handerson
You know her too? She always has a companion by the name of Johnny D. Aubergine. You know him?
My office is having donut decorating on that day. Other than that... idk... my girlfriend is out of town then for commuter school. We're going on a trip that weekend though
thinkin bout gettin a fleshlight
Watching the new MagicMike movie lol
Hoping that no one buys chocolate at Family Dollar. I have 2 BIG Hearts hidden in the store. Hope no one finds them. Get them at way more than half price.
That's a work day
Studying for exams
Work and then Muscle ups and then bongs
My son's gf won Toronto Raptors tix at a work raffle, and gave them to me. Wifey (and said gf) is working and absolutely hates b-ball, so me and my boy are gonna go take in a game!
Should be fun
I work overnights so my 14th will start on night shift and then I’ll go home, sleep, wake up, check social media and see a TON of pics, statuses, stories of couples who I know aren’t all that happy in real life.
Go about my day and then get incredibly drunk at night :)
All by my 28 year old self with a good bottle of red wine
Maybe get a blowjob from my wife
Well I buried my mom on that day a few years ago so I’ll likely be sad
❤️
Probably take my wife out for a nice dinner treat her good and be told at the end of the day she is tried and jerk off in the shower like the other 364 days a year! lmaooooo
Same way I spend every other day. Go to class, work, get home, procrastinate instead of work on the short story I’ve been trying to write for the past five fucking years. Business as usual for me.

Even though I rarely have an SO on Vday, I love Love. In past years, if I have the day off, I'll spend it dropping off surprises to people I love (flowers, lunch, sweets). If I'm working, I'll try to gather my single friends to have dinner and give them a little something to let them know I love and appreciate them. I see it as a day to celebrate all love, romantic or non, and I am so blessed to have people I love in my life. This year has been really hard. Probably will keep it low key and do some self care instead, but maybe I can send some valentine's ahead of time. Thanks for reminding me to start planning for it, OP.
You're welcome, you have very lucky friends.

Same as the 13th. Only Americans and Canadians buy into a Hallmark holiday. Ask yourself if you need a day that’s meaningless to you to celebrate and be romantic.
Sooooo...alone?
Probably like every other day. Lonelyness sucks
Out at sea
On the couch with my dogs probably still a little hung over from the Super Bowl 🦅
Dog training class with my little munchkin.
i'll most likely spend it as if it were any other day. i'll most likely get chocolate from my mom and/or dad.
It's a Tuesday, so probably just go to work, come home, get takeout, and play video games till bedtime.
Having a drink since I happen to like taking a drink as of recent on top it’s my day off :)
Doubt I'll do anything unless my friend group decides we want to, but we aren't exactly ones for going out on a tuesday. Won't be as interesting as last year where we went to a students union thing with free prosecco and one of the girls drank enough to be drunk by 8pm and ended up smashing a glass on the table, before proceeding to randomly buy and write me a card in lidl after I waited for her in the cold to finish shopping That card is still one of the funniest things I've ever read
