Am I the only one who wants to make conversations with people, yet don't ask the questions I want to, because...

I don't want to be asked that question in return...which will lead to more questions, ones that will probably put me on the spot...

For example, me at work...This week is valentines day...I"m the only one in the small office I work in without a mate. To make conversation, I want to ask " what are your plans for V- day"? But I feel that will just lead to
" what are yours?'
"oh you don't have a boyfriend"?
"how long has it been?
"5 years? Why?"
"are you scared of commitment" etc

Or am I just too far in my head.?
