I went out yesterday to a local restaurant/sports bar (the equivalent of a Fridays) alone. I'll usually run into people I know, but I just wanted to unwind, have a bite and a couple of drinks.
A guy I know came over to my table and asked me why I was alone. I told him I go out alone pretty often. He said he came over because he didn't want me to be alone.
Then he asked me about Valentine's Day. I told him my guy won't be in town that weekend. He said I shouldn't be alone. I told him I was fine with it. He looked at me like he felt sorry for me....lol.
Would this be your reaction? What are your thoughts on V-Day in general? Personally, I enjoy celebrating it (though I would prefer to do it a day or two before hand, I hate the crowds). I'm just fine if I don't have anyone as well.
I don't know why it would be more pitiful on VDay than any other day of the year. A made up holiday to celebrate love is fine and dandy, but just like it can't be everyones birthday everyday, VDay is not going to be meaningful for everyone every year. Even some coupled folks don't give a hoot about it.
Some people are just hopeless romantics and very sappy. I think this guy was just one of those people but also, for some reason, people even today have a real issue seeing someone alone. I have no clue why LOL
My daughter went to an early dinner out at a local restaurant recently and the servers kind of gave her a hard time because she was alone. They kept asking her if she was expecting someone and kept looking at her like she was an alien LOL She said it's like they couldn't believe a woman would go somewhere alone.
Don't worry about it. If you are comfortable being alone and circumstances made it so that your man can't be home for Vday, so what? Right? You just go enjoy yourself anyway!!
No, that wouldn't be my reaction. As long as you're fine with it, who cares? Now, if you were sobbing into your mozzarella sticks, I can see taking pity.
Actually, for Valentine's I think I'm doing something with some girlfriends. One's married, two have long-term boyfriends, and I'm also dating someone, so none of us are spending it with a significant other. It's actually a running trend, no boys on V-Day.
It's no big deal to me. I'm used to being solo on V-Day.
Same here. It was worse being married and being alone on holidays than it is being single and being alone. And if I want chocolate, which I usually do no matter what day of the year it is, I will buy some!
