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.

@Umile That makes a lot more sense to me. If anything, that method of conduct is the healthiest. Sex should be treasured like love. The fact you want the connection beforehand makes you all the more valuable and also makes it so your experience will be so much better for it, in my opinion. 🙂

@Havesomefun2 yes. Of course. 👌

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 💗

@Umile I was picking that up from your posts you made, and why I wanted to comment on all that you posted. Yes, you are right.

@Umile ok, well I don't think my spouse and I did anything on Valentine's Day, feels long ago.

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