They say "what does my wife/girlfriend/mom want?" and we can sell them anything. Most of them seem like scared deer in the headlights rather than romantic dudes. <BR/><BR/>AG, hugs to you. I don't even know you, but this time of year kind of sucks.

And then I was on my own after 18 years being with someone. Everywhere you look in Feb there are cards, adverts for romantic meals, romantic breaks, you name it it’s for the taking. No matter how much I tried to ignore it, being single was never so much in focus as it ever was for me then. So I joined a free online dating agency called midsummerseve.com and dated a few frogs and found the prince that is known as himself. I worked in IT most of my adult life so I decided IT was going to find me a love life too. Thank you God! I have friends that have used the same site, with mixed results but a few are settled with nice guys now and it is FUN, FUN, FUN dating! So, your mission for the year is to join something and put the effort into finding someone but at the very least having fun along the way. <BR/><BR/>You know, we put way more effort into finding a job than we do a partner. It’s shocking really as a poor choice of job isn’t the end of the world but a poor choice of man can certainly feel like it. Go on and promise yourself that you’ll have a plan, go for it and enjoy yourself and who knows where you will be next VD eh? In the mean time, we all love you so happy VD in a non sexual, non creepy sort of way from your cyber pal!menopausaloldbag (MOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320287770097378027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-48769756849991605142009-02-08T08:32:00.000+00:002009-02-08T08:32:00.000+00:00Lol!

I used to hope for an anonymous one, every year, as a teenager, but it never happened.<BR/><BR/>If you don't think that there are any romantic gestures on the horizon for you, this time, why not organise a nice relaxing day for yourself? Spoil yourself and have a day off from the housework and stuff. Pamper yourself at home, or have a massage, or manicure at a salon, or something. I don't know about you, of course, but I find that I still spend a lot of time doing stuff for other people and stuff in the house.

So what happened was . . . nothing. The only time I got anything was my birthday and Mother's Day. I don't think I would make that agreement again even if it IS a farce, because at least it forces men to THINK about their woman.<BR/><BR/>That was sort of a rant, but you need to work on your tone -- not nearly whiny enough ;)Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451551725354518428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-62834117229412742172009-02-07T20:26:00.000+00:002009-02-07T20:26:00.000+00:00Does it help, G, to know that Valentine's Day was ...Does it help, G, to know that Valentine's Day was invented purely to sell cards and overpriced tat to the gullible and unwary?<BR/><BR/>(At least that's what my husband tells me :( )A Woman Of No Importancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194976046531063422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-4100639466033463912009-02-07T18:39:00.000+00:002009-02-07T18:39:00.000+00:00Poor AG *hugs* speaking as one who has also had ve...Poor AG *hugs* speaking as one who has also had vey few V day cards.
