As it is February...

So February, I like February it is a nice short month. Yes I have to pay my bills a bit earlier, and yes time literally flies. But it is still a nice month, and the weather is usually amazing in February. The only thing that is a bit crazy is Valentine's day. Now I usually have no problem with it. If I am single I go out with other single friends and have a sorta Anti-Valentine Day celebration. If I have some one; obviously we go out that day. No biggie just another Hallmark endorsed holiday. But what I really can't stand about Valentine's day , is the desperation that seems to take hold of single people. It's like they realize just then that they are single and it's the most horrible discovery ever. So naturally they set out on this mission to find somebody. Which by all means whatever floats your boat. Just you know, leave me out of it. I mean if I'm single and I meet somebody that happens to want to ask me out and it's around that time that's fine. What I don't like is when it's single friends I've pretty much known for years and we have been aware of each others singleness for that long. Then all of a sudden around February they want to ask me out and be with me. I mean I know sometimes friendship becomes something else with time. Trust me I get that. Somebody I just never imagined being with all of a sudden I start to like because of the qualities (in my case)he has presented over time. BUT suspiciously around Valentine's I start getting asked out. I mean come on. Do you really think I will say yes? I don't want to be with you because you don't want to be alone!! I want to be with somebody who wants me, just me!! You know we all deserve the real thing. To have that person we can't stop thinking about. That person we worry over, we can't quiet breathe when we think about them etc etc blah blah blah. You know the drill it is sappy and cheesy but it's what we all want. I personally think it's what we all deserve. No one wants to be the person someone settled for and no one should have to settle for someone they don't truly want . It is unfair both ways. So if you are single be single. Let the sparks set off naturally don't try and force a commitment. Trust me it seems like it at times, but you won't end up alone.  If you truly want to marry and have a family, you will. But it isn't something you should rush or lose sleep over. Just you know let it be. Or at the very least let ME be.
