Are you flying solo this V day ?

I disagree. I would not seek out a partner if their was no romance involved. I'm not on board for an aromantic relationship. I don't want a friendship masquerading as a relationship. That's my personal opinion.

You definitely should not be belittled by your coworkers for being single. Whether that's your choice or not, it has nothing to do with them.

And sadly some of the men out there most likely had their "Valentines" leave them, abuse them, cheat on them, invalidate them, manipulate them, shame them, or potentially incriminate them.
Abuse is pretty even across the board.

My advice is to seek what you truly desire. If you want an aromantic partnership I.E. friendship, go for it. If you want passionate romance, go for it. If you want to be a bachelor/bachelorette, go for it.
Be who you want to be and pursue the kind of connection you know you thrive on or that you desire from the bottom of your heart.

I used to be anxious about being single on Vday.
This stress has evaporated over time.
It is funny how, somehow, I made peace with it.
Even made myself pretty today.. I feel great :)
You can still celebrate and embrace love itself, even if it is not exactly relationship-kind of love. You can still smile and radiate joy everywhere 💗

Well, you can also say that you have no pressure, no problems but your own and no disappointments. Grab yourself a box of whatever you like and treat yourself to a good movie of your choice.

being single is way more fun than being with someone who doesn’t acknowledge your feelings or existence.

Nah... I have a wife. But I don`t need a day to appreciate her.

Solo.
RE: the past, all I can say is...What was I thinking??? 🤦🏻‍♂️

I went solo and I went solo as Willa, because of everything you said and listed out in life. I would love a partner and then to have her as my love/lover.

But 17 years solo flying for me so far.

Too much pressure on V-Day. Partnership is about the ups and downs, not just the romance.

Is V-Dy an official holiday? 😄

You are much better off than your coworkers. Sounds like they envy you and have to try and make you feel bad.

I'm married and get the night to myself. Which is good and bad at the same time for pretty much the same reason.

I wouldn't have it any other way, freedom is better than being with someone.

I normally take someone with me when I fly.

Nope, I'm going to ask my best friend for sex

My best friend is my wife

I'm currently in a long-distance relationship that is slowly dying.

I am always alone so

What's ONS?

Yup, there was no V for me

Been single since 2021. Holidays don't bother me anymore aside from a little grief.
