To me, Valentine's Day always means nothing more than the day after the birthday of someone in my family, and given that we don't celebrate that either, I don't care a hoot.
More relevantly, however, if you've reached a point in life where you somehow decide that work partners for a common greater cause and friends who you can randomly chat with just when you feel like it are sufficient, then really, does the lack of a love interest mean anything? Does not celebrating Valentine's mean anything?
I've long crossed the line where the word love doesn't trigger anything in me. I've also crossed the line where I don't go out to make friends anymore, not consciously anyway. Call me cold and unfeeling, but I find that life hasn't been bad that way, so what's the problem?
I'm just not a people-oriented person, and I've faced it and accepted it. Life hasn't been bad since. It's whether you want to let it all get to you.
