Ahh, the wonderful day of love is yet again upon us. Roses, chocolates and the reminder that I am not going to be given any of these things today. Albeit, I did get a few text messages from my other single friends... Us singles have to stick together on such apparently lonely days.
So, today I was stuck at work all day, as usual... But, waking up it felt like any other day. When I walked into work that's when things went downhill. I think a total of 15 people thought they felt the need to point out the fact that I'm single... Most of the conversations went like this:
Conversation One:
Me: Oh, Happy Valentines Day!
Workmate: You too! Me and my partner... Blah, blah blah FUCKING blah. *Insert ramblings revolving around corny, stupid 'romantic' gestures*
Me: Aww, sounds adorable.
Workmate: Oh yeah, you're single aren't you. You must feel so lonely on days like today. I don't know how you put on a smile and get through. If I were you I'd kill myself right now.
Conversation Two:
Workmate: Aww, these flowers just arrived for me!
Me: That's so sweet!
Workmate: Yeah, it is. Did you get flowers? *Insert awkward pause* Oh yeah, you're single aren't you. You must feel so lonely on days like today. I don't know how you put on a smile and get through. If I were you I'd kill myself right now.
Conversation Three:
Me: I'm heading out for a coffee, do you want one?
Workmate: Oh, no thanks. I'm going home early to prepare dinner for my girlfriend BLAH BLAH BLAH
Me: Aw, you're a sweet guy!
Workmate: Yeah, I bet your boyfriend is sweet too. *Insert awkward silence* Oh yeah, you're single aren't you. You must feel so lonely on days like today. I don't know how you put on a smile and get through. If I were you I'd kill myself right now.
(Note, this is not exactly how the conversations went... But they had pretty much the same feel.)
And so it went on. So, I just have a few little things to say to all of those happy couples that are looking down on us single people right now.
- I am probably happier out of a relationship than I have ever been whilst in one.
- I am also probably having better sex than you will. Not to mention I can have sex whenever I want, with whoever I want.
- I am free to do what I want without a significant other looking over my shoulder.
- I am NOT depressed to be alone on Valentines Day.
- I think Valentines Day is a commercialised joke.
- Oh, and did I mention that I'm having better sex than you?
So, thanks society for making a day that lets couples think that they're better than us singletons. I am now going out to get drunk and celebrate my singledom.
Quick Decision:
Will post this as a tribute to how I feel about Valentines Day... Will also exclude couples from my galavanting tonight. Just to pay them back :)
