"The Couples and The Singles" - What door to open?

Okay, for my next trick, I'll be talking about the biggest social division, and I'm not talking about "Rich and Poor." Friday passed over the world with overly happy, joy-filled, in-love bliss. For many though, we either sat at home with tons of heart-attack causing food, or in more extreme cases, apartments, condos, rivers, canals, lakes and harbors, now run red across the world (the poor souls- bangs and screams putting an end when they had no right to stop the miracle, what-so-ever). I'm talking about "The Couples and The Singles."

What happens, is there are overjoyed couples, indulging in the most romantic day/night of the year, and then there are the people who just had break-ups, can't find a valentine, have not even any prospects, et cetera, et cetera. Those people either gain 20 pounds in a weekend, with all the sweets and Turner Classic Movies, or they tragically go take a nap six down. I've been single for a heck of a long time now, and I've learned a lot about myself. I've learned that you meet more interesting characters when you're single, and that you actually can see more of the world- being single. This is not to say, that I've had my bouts with "wannagirl-itis," but I ask this:

      "Do couples get together, because of an actual connection? Or do they get together for the sake of getting together? Which door to a relationship would I want to open and cross?"

Me personally, I wouldn't want to get together for status, or for any stupid reason like that. Anybody that does get together for that reason or such, is a damned fool. If the shoe doesn't fit, don't remove a toe, just so you fit. In other words, don't lose yourself, just so you can date the School's best Jock, or the School's hottest Cheerleader. It's not worth it; you're better off having that click with a person, and dating that person, based on connection, kismet, and the like.

I've done some soul-searching, and I've learned a lot about myself. A girl (with a boyfriend), told me Friday, when I was roller skating, that "(I'm) too nice." So what if I am? Is that a crime? Nice can be made from many things (genuine kindness, need of self-control, social norms, tradition, the list goes on). Nice isn't necessarily bad. Nice, was what a good chunk of people were, and they ended up alone on Valentine's day. That isn't necessarily all the cases, but a good many of them. Nice people, actually consider others, and actually are more willing to put in effort into a relationship, regardless whether or not they're going to get "some" or the "morning afterwards." 

So in the end, Happy Valentine's day. It's late yes, but ask yourself the questions in italics. What do you see in yourself? What do you in relationships see? What do you singles see?
