Your main worry is that you don't have a significant other? Hate to break it to you, but that's life. Get better at being content with your own company. Focus on what YOU can do to make yourself happy and quit whining.
To be kind, I'd like to say you'll find someone eventually, but once the new wears off of that you'll be back to wanting something else you don't have.
Great post.
I agree. Having an isle at a store isn't "pushing It down your throat". No one is putting a gun to your head. Why do single people get so pathetic around valentines day? (I'm single too btw)

Geez, did you read my post? Yes, I am single but I am not miserable and was just sharing how pushy businesses can be.
I was so annoyed how early Christmas things went up in the stores. It seems it gets earlier every year. You can't escape it because all stores are doing it to compete. It saddens me because it takes away what the holidays are really about. That being said, Happy New Year all!
After record sales this year don't look for that to improve.
So I went to a CVS yesterday afternoon and they already had a full aisle decorated with hearts, a gazillion of hallmark “love” cards, and heart-shaped chocolate boxes. I know as businesses, they are just trying to make money but darn, Valentine’s Day feel so far away to me that I was shocked when I saw it. It was also a suck-y reminder that I am single. I guess I could also look at it as a motivational tool to start looking for a date pronto, lol.
Maybe it's Universe's way to encourage people to find the connections with someone. It seems to be working on you?
I have my cat for Vday and that will be fine. Of course, I'd enjoy some other company but if it happens it does. If not, no big deal. I'll sleep through it like I did NYE with help of Mr. Belvedere

How many batteries does Mr. Belvedere take? j/k
Valentine's Day is just another Hallmark Holiday, I suppose it's fun for many since cards, flowers, jewelry and candy sell like crazy. What I really dislike is how florists jack their prices on Valentines day. Not a big issue for me, but it's the nature of the beast.
It's funny how Easter never really turned into the huge money machine that Christmas or Valentines Day became considering the religous significance of it to Christians.
I know, I saw that when I went to Rite-Aid last week. I did a double take. It was just a few days past Christmas...geez.
They just want people to buy some candy for their partner, then end up not being able to keep it hidden 2+ months, eat it themselves, and then have to buy more candy closer to Valentine's Day.
Do I fall for that? NO. I buy the candy knowing full well I'm gonna eat it myself now
