Alone today, and feeling okay about it? Then you’re not alone:
Forty-three percent of adult Americans, or 87 million people, describe themselves as single -- but only 16 percent are looking for love, the survey by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found.Fifty-five percent of US singles say they have no interest in looking for a romantic partner. That feeling is especially pronounced among women, or those who have been divorced or widowed.

Or maybe you’re not alone but can’t stand the sickly sweetness of this invented holidays traditions? Then you’re not alone either:
This Valentine's Day, retailers are thumbing their noses at hearts and redirecting arrows at Cupid himself.Traditionally sweet symbols and sayings are getting tweaked in the card and gift aisles, resulting in teddy bears that are more wry than warm and fuzzy and candies that are more sarcastic than saccharine.

Bah. Who needs love, anyway, when we’ve got the Internet?
