Most people think that Valentine's day is only for those who have a partner. But I beg to differ. Valentine's day is a day to celebrate love, it's not exclusively for couples I say. So yes! Single people, anyone can celebrate this day. Share love not only with your partner, but also with friends and family. How bout you, what can you say? =]

True true! Valentine's day isn't exclusive for couples only. Just because one is single doesn't mean it's illegal to celebrate it and express one's love to certain people! Happy St. Valentine's Day!

Yeah, and it needs to be stopped! Hahaha! Well traditionally, it's for lovers but if we follow all the rules we'll miss all the fun! Hahaha! ^_^

I see you're from the Philippines too! I think having a pair on Valentine's day is so overrated in our country. I'm glad to know a fellow Filipino agrees with me. Happy Valentine's day too. And happy myLotting! =]

I agree completly I dont think you have to have someone special to have a good Valentine's day or be with someone. You can take your self out or a best friend thats also single or going threw hard times in a relationship take that person out go get your nails done, go to the mall or even out to eat. No matter what at the end of the day you have yourself.

That's exactly my point! You don't have to spend Valentine's day on a fancy restaurant with the most romantic person on earth. Hang out with friends, bond with your family... The point is, show love in any way you can... Love, love life that is!

your right. people have many definitions of the term love. nowadays many thinks that the term love they may mean it as romantic.

im glad we think of it on the same sense. only a few people understand that love does not require romantic involvement. love is love even without romance and humanistic passion.

Yes, even singles can be happy during Valentine's Day. I'm actually speaking for myself. I'm not in a relationship right now, and I'm not actually bothered that it's Valentine's Day and I have no one to celebrate the event with romantically. Maybe, I just don't let myself wallow in sadness or the feeling of being loveless. I take Valentine's Day as a day not only for lovers but for all people as a reminder to express their love and affection to their family and friends.

I completely agree with that. Valentine's day is not exclusively for those romantically involved. Its for the celebration for love. So if you love your family and friends, its a day to show it... maybe even to your pet. =]

that's one thing some people should understand. there are others who seem desperate to have someone on valentine's. just hope somebody else tells them this. =]
