It's Valentine's Day 2018. I am single and I am going to a concert with my girls. Another year with no Special person to spend this "HOLIDAY OF LOVE" with. Yes, a concert with my girls!! That is one thing I really, really, really LOOOOOOOOOVE to do! Another year lacking sweet nothings being whispered in my ear. Another year without flowers or candy. Another year without dinner and a movie. Another year of N.A.D.T....not a damn thing from anyone except for Valentine's well wishes from my children, family and friends. I bet you thought I was mad or sad from that statement. Nah, I am not. I am cool with living my life until I meet whomever he is.
YET, there are some men and women but more so women that are bitter, angry, upset and lonely. What tickles me, yes I said tickles me, is there are all kinds of reasons why they say that they are single. Men don't like strong/ independent women. I don't need a man. All the good men are taken or gay. There are more men than women in the world. Just all kind of foolery as to why they are single or even otherwise not dating.
I just wonder....I wonder...have you ever thought would YOU date you? Would you be your Valentine? Last year after being single for 2 years, that was a question I put to myself. At first I said," HELL YEAH"! Yes, I would be my Valentine! Then as I pondered more....meh, maybe not. And the reason I thought maybe not is because I don't take myself on dates like I used to. You know date yourself. Go out by your damn self. Take yourself somewhere that you want to go. Try something different. Take a class. Invest in yourself. You all those things that make you feel special or good. The things that make you shimmer and shine so bright on the inside that it can't help but show up on the outside.
When was the last time your got your arse out and did something. I usually don't...church, home, work, home, concert, home, mall, home. Do you see something consistent? Unless you get out, you won't meet a mate. The other part....you can put lipstick on a pig but that doesn't make the pig DATEABLE OR MARRIAGE MATERIAL. Your attitude is nasty. You are bringing your old relationship baggage into your new relationship. You are more masculine then feminine, meaning you don't allow a man do what he is created to do.

A LITTLE VALENTINE'S DAY HISTORY
Each year on February 14th, many people exchange cards, candy, gifts or flowers with their special “valentine.” The day of romance we call Valentine’s Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th century, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia.

Valentine's Day is just a day! Single, relationship or married love on yourself EVERYDAY. Treating your self well with: some time dedicated just to you, a special place that is just for you or a thing that is just for you. Being good to yourself allows you to feel good and sets you up to be good to those around you. When you love yourself, you aren't dependent on other people to SHOW you they love you on this day or any other day. Besides if the one you love only shows they love you on that one day, do they really love you? If you are single and someone has asked you to be their valentine, it is only ONE day. You never know, that one day could lead to your FOREVER VALENTINE.
