...are you planning on spending Valentine's Day with any special friends in a non-romantic manner? Such as a hangout? Now, I am not talking about a boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife or family member. I am talking about just a friend or someone you like and just hanging out with them.

If so, can I ask for advice? I would like to try and invite a guy friend to just "hang out" in a non-romantic manner on Valentine's Day. What are your thoughts on this?

I'm going to have single girls' night out with my friends, just dinner and a movie. :D

I don't think there's any problem with hanging out with a guy friend on Valentine's Day. Just go for it and have fun. :thumbsup:

Ive had plans with Rebecca since December to go to the mall and get pedicures and go to the movies, but now with the storm coming I dont know :cuss:

Mona, I don't know the specifics of your relationship with this guy, but if he's just a friend, then I don't see a problem. If this is a guy friend that you like in a romantic way, then I think that inviting him over for Valentine's Day sends a message that you're interested in him in that way.

I have no idea if what I just wrote made any sense, but I know what I mean, lol.

As long as you don't take him home to hang out I think it's fine. There could be an intimidating factor about home hang-outs.

And no, I don't have anyone to hang out with on that day so I plan an evening to moi.

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate your advice/words.

Yeah, this won't be a "home" outing. It'll be a public outing.

Well, I just sent a message asking this, and he said Wednesdays are his best evenings. This means...including this Wednesday. :grineyes: I also mentioned in the message that I poured out feelings of my trying to hang out with him and have received non-verbal messages of forgetfulness from him. He basically lauged and said he receives that all the time from his other friends. I do remember seeing it as well when his other friends bug him as well. He says himself he is "absent minded." :lol:

I didn't say about Wednesday being Valentine's Day, but....I did mention this dinner can be for "just friends." Sooooo..... Even if it's just a friendly hangout, it's all cool. :D

My niece calls Valentines Day, SINGLE AWARENESS DAY. :lol:

With the possibility of snow hitting the NYC area, I will be in New Jersey tomorrow night, and if we get a lot of snow, I might wind up spending Valentine's day with my Mother and Father.

Just like I did every Valentine's Day for the first 26 years of my life.

Man oh man do I feel like crying.

;)

my parents give me CANDY.

i might have a snow day on Valentine's Day though :woohoo:

Just don't ask him to be your Valentine. Tried that once. :basket:

I'm spending Valentine's like any other day...go to work, go home and watch something on DVD before falling asleep.

Oh yeah, I have to drop my car off at the shop on the way home.

Wow, what an exciting life I lead...:lol:

Valentine's Day is such a manufactured "holiday."

My niece calls Valentines Day, SINGLE AWARENESS DAY. :lol:
:lol:

Good luck with everything!

I'm probably just going to sit here alone...watch some AI. My idiot "husband" has already informed me that he will be out with his "friend," and my friend is going to be w/his girlfriend, so oh well....I've got the dogs for company I guess.

Just don't ask him to be your Valentine. Tried that once. :basket:
Ohhhh... Awww...sorry about that. :( I was actually thinking of just sending him a "Happy Valentine's Day" message/image. Just as a greeting. I'll be doing that with various friends.

Thanks for the words, everyone! :) I will send out a message reminder (per his request) tonight and REALLY keep my fingers crossed.

I don;t think a man and woman should be out on Valentine's day unless they are a COUPLE. Platonic Friends should not HANG OUT on Valentine's day, maybe the day after

There's nothing wrong with two friends going out on Valentine's Day. It's just a day

No way.

I've had a lot of fun going out drinking with other single folks (men and women) on Valentine's day. Why should the maried people and couples be the only folks allowed to do something?

Single people can hang out as a group, 2 men, 3 women but not just a man and woman. It would feel arkward

It wouldn;t feel right to me. I told one of my female friends today that I would feel weird being out with you on Valentine's Day, we would have to go out the day after

Well my husband and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. It's a day like any other day, I see nothing wrong with going out with a friend to dinner or just to hang out.

That's clever :lol:

Hmm, I guess since this will be my 20th Valentine's Day alone, I'm thinking of renting a movie and piging out on chocolate. I've never had a Valentine. :(

Many years ago I was friends with this girl i had worked with on several occasions doing theater projects, and at the time were both single when Valentine's Day rolled around.
So we went out for drinks with a few other single people, to toast our sad miserable lonely lives, etc...
One thing lead to another, and we dated for several months.

Being single and miserable on Valentine's Day can work in your favor from time to time.

;)

Exactly. That is what I was thinking as well. I mean...you can hang out with mixed sex friends and just have fun eating and snacking. It's just a fun outing. It's just that spending time that's fun.
