un-valentines day blues


here we are again. its february 14, the goyishe holiday that i dont exactly celebrate, but depresses me just the same. i could have gone to some lame singles event that capitalizes on the valentine's day theme but i opted out. i do have my dignity .

one year when valentines day fell on a saturday i did go to a singles event. it was okay, but you really have to be in the mood for it. i might go out with friends later. i think that will be more fun. there's a singles event next week i might attend. there wont be any valentines day pressure next week.

i guess im slightly bummed out because i thought i might actually have a date tonight. it wasnt even just a possible first date. oh well. i guess im not changing my name yet. still frum single female.

Cheer up, honey! You don't need a guy to be happy!

Or, at least, you SHOULDN'T need a guy to be happy.

One of my first blog posts, back in 2007, was about this:

Dear FF,

Yes, I know what you mean. I am a guy who feels the same way.

And to our dear friend AmIaFrumFeminist, while FF might not 'need' a guy to be happy, there is no better feeling in life then to be with someone you love, and they love you. Thus, why not have someone! Why not desire to be with someone?

Sadly, the haredi world does not place much emphasis on being in love - just making babies and of course, allowing the rabbinate to wield power.

Just my 2 cents.

im not saying that i need a guy to be happy , but that id like to have a guy in my life.i would like to be in a loving relationship and yes i would like to get married . i dont have to apologize for feeling this way.

No, you don't have to apologize, FF. It is perfectly normal and natural to want what you want.

I know a couple of guys if you want to get set up.

I prefer the Japanese version of Valentine's Day. Girls, not guys, confess their love and give homemade chocolates.
