15 People You DON'T Want To Be On Valentine's Day

February 14th is fast approaching and you are probably absolutely thrilled or totally freaking out, depending on how you feel about the day. Maybe you're sadly single and are one step away from crying into your box of heart-shaped chocolates. Or maybe you're coupled up and are loving life (and are the envy of single women everywhere -- which you kind of love to be totally honest). It's kind of ridiculous how much people care about this one day. After all, it's not even a real holiday, is it? It's not like you get the day off like you would on Christmas or Easter. But it's kind of a big deal and so you're definitely thinking about it. And maybe you're hoping that the calendar will magically skip to February 15th and you won't have to deal with this specific day at all. There's one more thing you should think about: regardless of how you feel about the big day, there are a few people that you should never be.

Here are 15 people you don't want to be on Valentine's Day.

15 His Side Chick

Okay, so being his side chick is pretty much the worst any time of the year. But it's even worse on Valentine's Day. Why? Because your guy isn't really your guy. He's got a girlfriend or maybe he's even married (yikes). Maybe he's even got kids (double yikes). So just think about that for a moment. Let it sink in. This means that this guy is never going to plan anything special and romantic for the two of you on February 14th. You can cry and scream and beg as much as you want, but the truth is that you're not on his radar on this day. He's going to be planning a dinner or fancy evening out with his actual girlfriend or wife, and he would never jeopardize that relationship in order to make your V-Day the best one ever. Sorry, not sorry. But you already knew that being the side chick wasn't the greatest idea, right?

14 The Desperate Girlfriend

If you're lucky enough to be in a relationship when Valentine's Day rolls around, then you don't want to be a desperate girlfriend. It's not a good look and it never will be. If you play this role on the big day, then you're going to upset and annoy your boyfriend so much that he might not even want to date you anymore. Yes, really. That's how much you can piss a guy off on V-Day when you act like you're just going to die or something if he doesn't plan a romantic night for the two of you. The truth is that not every guy wants to actually go out on Valentine's Day. Okay, most guys don't want to. Fancy dinners are pretty expensive and then there's the fact that any restaurant is going to be so crowded on February 14th, you're barely going to be able to hear each other talk, let alone create the kind of romantic mood that you're going for.

13 The Pissed Off Girlfriend

If you're mad at your boyfriend on Valentine's Day because he didn't plan anything special for the two of you or, worse, he didn't even remember the big day (gasp!), then you want to stop and take a deep breath. You don't want to be the pissed off girlfriend on V-Day. You really, really don't. You're going to be so hopped up and angry that you're going to say something (or a lot of things) that you are going to seriously regret later on. You're going to tell him that he's lazy and that he's forgetful and that he never seems to care about fun date night activities. Some of that may be true because no one is perfect but you don't need to make him feel even worse than he probably already does. No guy wants to disappoint their girlfriend on Valentine's Day (or any day of the year). Why do you have to make such a big deal out of a single day?

12 A Bitter Single Woman

Sometimes you can't help but be a bitter single woman on Valentine's Day. Everyone has been that person at one point or another, so you can't be blamed for it. But that doesn't mean that you want to be this person because you really don't. And you really don't want to be. You're going to upset yourself even more than you already are and you're definitely going to piss everyone off that comes into contact with you. The truth about being bitter and without a boyfriend is that you just end up looking lame and pathetic. No one is going to feel sorry for you because they're going to feel like you should just pick yourself up and dust yourself off and move on. Sometimes you're going to be single because you haven't met the right guy yet or you're dealing with a break-up or you're focusing on other stuff like school or work. That's okay. Why do you have to be so bitter?

11 A Super Happy Single Girl

Of course, you're happy on Valentine's Day because you're going to eat as much chocolate as you can get your hands on. And anyone, whether in a relationship or single, would be super into that. You're probably thinking that if you're a happy single girl on February 14th that's a good idea, but it's actually not. Why? Because while there's nothing wrong with enjoying your single life, you shouldn't be happy to not have a boyfriend on this special day. Because you should want a boyfriend any day, V-Day or not. Well, not that you SHOULD, but if you're looking for a relationship, then you should be looking for a partner to share your life with. There's a fine line between being so into being single that you never look for love and just enjoying every day as it comes but realizing that you really do want to fall in love sometime.

10 The Hopeless Romantic

You may think that Valentine's Day is the best day of the year if you're a hopeless romantic. It's all about chocolate, candy, red roses, candles, red wine, and fancy dinners, right? What's more romantic than that? Absolutely nothing. But the problem is that you're going to get disappointed and fast because whether you're single or not, no one can really live up to those super high expectations. If you're single, you're going to be miserable on this day since you don't have a boyfriend to kiss and get all lovey-dovey with. If you're in a relationship, you're going to put so much pressure on your boyfriend to plan something or make it the most romantic night ever that he will never be able to do what you want him to. It's not going to be a good time, that's for sure. So you should never be this into romance.

9 Someone Who Just Got Dumped

If you want to plan your break-up, you should never plan to be dealing with a broken heart on Valentine's Day. Of course, since both love and life don't work like that, sometimes you end up dealing with the aftermath of a bad break-up on February 14th. Lucky you. You never, ever want to be someone who just got dumped on Valentine's Day. You're going to feel about a million times worse than you normally would have, and since you normally would feel terrible, that's saying something. You're going to be in tons of pain and seeing all the couples who are in love (whether walking through your city holding hands or anyone that you see on social media) is going to really hurt. You've been warned. It's best to stay inside and hibernate and cry so you can actually move on in peace without even thinking about the fact that it's V-Day. That means absolutely no sappy movies or sad songs.

8 In A Long Distance Relationship

If you're going to be in a long distance relationship, you really don't want to be in one on Valentine's Day. You're going to miss your boyfriend so much more than usual and you're going to wish that you could spend this special day together. Maybe you've been torn apart by school or work or other life circumstances and it just wasn't possible to shell out for plane fare and visit each other. Seeing all these couples all in love and having fun and being romantic is really going to upset you. You may think that you're going to be totally cool and calm and collected and that this won't affect you. But you will be wrong. You will be completely wrong. You're going to end up calling your boyfriend at midnight sobbing and saying that you miss him and you love him more than anything and you want to get married ASAP so you can forget this whole long distance thing. That might scare him a bit so you definitely don't want to be this person on this day.

7 The Gold Digger

So you basically never want to be a gold digger since even if you manage to convince guys to go out with you, they're eventually going to realize that all you care about is money and getting them to buy you things, whether that's gifts or just a fancy dinner out. Super lame. You should definitely make your own money and spend it and not get some poor guy to pay for you all the time. But regardless of that, there's the fact that you never want to be a gold digger on Valentine's Day. You just don't. Why would you want to be that kind of girlfriend who gets their boyfriend to buy them a really pricey gift and plan an insanely epic and romantic evening? What, if he doesn't spend $500 on you total you're going to freak out and break up with him? The worst part is that if you're a true gold digger, then you probably would. Talk about awkward.

6 Someone Who Is Considering A Break-Up

Sure, you may have a boyfriend, but if you've been thinking about breaking up with him, then Valentine's Day is going to totally suck. This is definitely not the kind of person that you want to be on this day. If you realize that you have to break up with your BF ASAP because you can't take it anymore and you can't possibly pretend to still love him on Valentine's Day, then you're going to have to give him that super serious talk that no guy ever wants to hear. If you don't want to break his heart on a day that is devoted to hearts, which no one would blame you for, then you might fake it and hang out with him anyway. That's still going to be all kinds of creepy and awkward, though, so it's not like you're going to enjoy the evening. Either way, you can't win and you're going to think that you did the wrong thing.

5 On A Break

Whether you believe in breaks or not (maybe your whole theory about this is based on the Ross/Rachel storyline), you don't want to be on a break with your boyfriend when V-Day rolls around. The truth is that the fact that this is The Day Of Love is going to seriously mess with your head and warp your feelings and thoughts about the situation. You're going to think that since you feel like you miss him, that must be true and you might as well get back together. But if it wasn't a day devoted to love and all things romance, what would you really be thinking and feeling? Chances are, you wouldn't want to get back together at all and you would be happy to have gone your separate ways. So be careful and don't make big decisions about your relationship until the calendar rolls around to February 15th.

4 The Girl Who Misses Her Ex

This is another really bad situation to be in on Valentine's Day. You definitely don't want to be the girl who misses her ex on this day. You're going to feel even worse about the fact that you two broke up. Even if you think about him all the time, the truth is that you're going to think about him even more on this day, and you're going to have every single second of it. Most of the time, there's not much that you can do about your feelings since you have probably gone your separate ways for a reason. Sometimes (which is super rare), he might miss you too and you really do get back together and things work much better the second time around. But even if you think that you do have a shot, you might not want to message or text him on Valentine's Day. Actually, you definitely don't want to. He's going to wonder why you're talking to him on this romantic day and you're just going to look kind of desperate.

3 A Pregnant Woman

Okay, okay, so if you're pregnant on Valentine's Day, you're going to be happy since, well, you're having a baby. And you're probably in love and at least in a relationship or engaged or married. And sure, you can probably eat some chocolate. But the truth is that you're going to hate not being able to drink. Because Valentine's Day is all about the booze. Okay, so it's not technically about alcohol, but think about going out for a nice dinner with your guy and not drinking wine? It's just pretty much unthinkable. It's not done. The same thing goes for if he cooks you a lovely dinner at home. You want to drink some red wine and that's just the way that it goes. So if you can plan when you get pregnant (because you're superwoman, obviously), don't be pregnant on February 14th. Just don't do it and you will be happier.

2 The Workaholic

If you're someone who loves to work and is pretty much married to their job -- aka a workaholic -- then this is the worst person to be on Valentine's Day. Well, maybe not THE worst, but definitely one of them. You won't even take Valentine's Day off and you're going to work straight through the day and night. It doesn't matter if you're single or in a relationship because your feelings on the matter aren't going to change at all. If your boyfriend wants to plan a nice evening for the two of you and you choose to work instead, let's just say it's going to cause a huge fight and a lot of problems in your relationship. If you agree and swear that you're going to leave the office by 6 p.m. so you can meet him at your favorite Italian restaurant, you might be super late or not even show up at all if you get too involved in your work or some crisis happens. And that's going to go over super well (not).

1 The Girl Who Gets Stood Up

All dressed up with nowhere to go. If this is you on Valentine's day because your date or even your boyfriend stands you up, then you might want to crawl under the covers and not come out until the calendar moves to the next day. No one would blame you because this is a pretty humiliating experience. But you don't need to get out the wine and the chocolate and feel even worse because you're going to get drunk and have a sugar high (as fun as those things are). Ask around and you will find at least one person who has gotten stood up on this day, so you really shouldn't feel so bad about it. It's not like it's your fault or something. Remember that this guy is literally evil (and no, that's not being dramatic, he really is). Standing someone up on such a romantic day is really cruel and there's nothing else to say about it. Never talk to this guy again. Ever. Okay, go ahead and grab some chocolates. You deserve it.
