Valentine's day is a day when lots of loved-up couples are out and about, and for all the singletons out there, they can often seem like they're rubbing their happiness in our faces. But it's not just average Joes who have been left feeling gloomy and lonely this February 14. As it turns out, there are also plenty of millionaires out there who feel the same way.

Just take Scottish millionaire Jane Park for example. Jane managed to win the Euromillions lottery when she was just 17 years old, and has since splashed out on cars, holidays and plastic surgery for herself. Despite all this, she seems to have become disillusioned and jaded with her vast wealth, and insists that the money has made romance that much harder for her. In fact, she's even taken to offering men an allowance of over $77,000 just for the chance to date her. Unsurprisingly, since making the announcement, the applications have been flying in.

In a recent interview on Heart London Breakfast Show with Jamie Theakston and Lucy Horobin, Jayne confirmed that she'd had over an estimated 100,000 responses to her request. Commenting on the large number of responses she received, Jane stated: "So literally I thought that it would just be about 100. It’s literally been about 100,000. Me and my team will need to sit and narrow them down, but it’s so hard. And I’m still single for Valentine’s Day, it’s a joke! I’ll probably treat myself to a McDonald’s breakfast or something. I know how it looks, I really do know how it looks, but it’s so hard when you’re in this position. I’m only 23 now and I still don’t know whether guys are only with me for love or money."

However, she added that she usually assumed that men are only interested in her money, stating: "I’m always questioning people, and I just feel like it would be better like if I feel like they have money, that they wouldn’t be wanting mine. If I met a guy on a night out and I said 'oh add me on Instagram' or something, when you go on my Instagram you’d say 'how have you got 120k followers?' and then it’s not long before they see that I’ve been on TV or something, and then they know and I’m like ‘have things changed, what are they thinking?’ and it just puts a barrier up straight away."

Jane insists that she isn't trying to buy a boyfriend; just offer them a little incentive, stating: "I’m not paying them to be my boyfriend, do you know what I mean? I’m not paying someone to love me or anything like that - that’s not what the expense was sort of meant for and I feel like it’s sort of been portrayed that way."

I'm sure Jayne will find love one of these days.

With Valentine's Day fast approaching, it's becoming easier and easier to tell the relationship status of just about anyone based on how they're acting. I mean, I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but if someone seems especially keen about this coming Thursday, they're probably planning on taking out a special someone for a date. On the other hand, if they're moping around complaining that February 14th is just a meaningless Hallmark holiday, you can probably make a safe bet on them being single.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with being single (in fact, many folks prefer the solo lifestyle), but some people just can't handle it.

Jane Park, who became the UK's youngest lottery winner back when she was 17, recently put out a request on social media for a boyfriend. According to a friend, she was "willing to pay the right price for someone loyal," and had promised a hefty £60,000 ($77,000) a year for anyone who was willing to be her boyf.

Unfortunately, nobody has taken up the offer in time for Valentine's Day.

"Don’t know why no ones [sic] asked for my address yet ??? I’m expecting a few valentine cards," she joked yesterday on Twitter, implying that her cash incentive had not been successful.

10,000 people had actually applied to be Park's other half, and she had started seeing someone shortly afterwards. Unfortunately, he was caught kissing another woman behind her back, and she was left heartbroken once again.

"Jane is amazing and has so much to give but she has found herself alone again as since she won, she’s had terrible luck," a friend said. "She’s never sure whether she is being loved for herself or for her bank balance. So she would rather have the arrangement out in the open."

The young millionaire made headlines recently after claiming that winning the lottery at such a young age had "ruined her life".

"At times it feels like winning the lottery has ruined my life," she told The Mirror. "I thought it would make it ten times better but it’s made it ten times worse."

In fact, she said, her life would have been better if she'd never picked the winning numbers in the first place.

"I wish I had no money most days. I say to myself, ‘My life would be so much easier if I hadn’t won.’ People look at me and think, ‘I wish I had her lifestyle, I wish I had her money.’ But they don’t realise the extent of my stress. I have material things but apart from that my life is empty. What is my purpose in life?"

When asked whether she would give up her winnings, though, she laughed and said, "nah".

A few people did actually respond to her thinly-veiled plea for a Valentine's bae, however, so maybe being loaded isn't all bad:

Whether or not they're Park's type remains to be seen, though.

At the time of writing, it doesn't appear that she has responded to anyone's offer of a Valentine's date - though, to be fair, none of them really put in much effort. With that in mind, I've got my own proposal for Park:

Roses are red, violets are blue, I might be a lass, but (for $77,000) I guess I'd date you.

So, whaddya say, Jane? Pick me up around 8ish? Dinner's on me.

One couple has proven that true love is alive and well after they sealed their engagement 60 years after they fell for each other in high school.

For some, it can feel like love is something that only exists in the pages of books or on the big screen, especially when it comes to young whirlwind romances.

As life goes by, those we formed strong connections with during our youth can often fall out of touch because the stresses of modern life mean that staying in contact can prove difficult.

Thomas and Nancy are here to prove that even decades later, feelings can remain the same as they are due to be married 60 years after their flame was first lit.

The proposal was documented on TikTok by one of Thomas' colleagues, as the pair sealed the engagement at the airport surrounded by well-wishers.

Having started their romance in high school nearly six decades ago, they eventually lost touch after their initial relationship didn't work out.

The pair reunited last month and it was like no time had passed at all, because their feelings for each other remained the same.

The pair spent weeks talking to each other and Nancy eventually flew to Tampa to meet her former flame, and that's when Thomas got down on one knee and popped the question - leaving everyone in tears.

During his heartfelt speech, the loved up husband to be said: "My dear Nancy, it's been 60 years since we first met, 56 years since we first dated, 10 years since I last saw you, and 20 days since we began this.

"You have always been the one I've had a crush on, since your cheerleader days. It brings a smile to my face, it makes my heart skip a beat [to see you]. For the last three weeks, I have thought of you every day, every hour and have talked to you every night for hours."

Thomas went on to reveal that he is ecstatic to be able to hold Nancy in his arms after all these years and that her beauty "both inside and out" has always "captivated" him.

Thomas continued: "We'll make every day an exciting new adventure. I want to grow old with you, wake up in your arms every morning, share our dreams and aspirations, laugh and cry and support one another through thick and thin.

"I love you more than words can express, more than you can ever comprehend. I want to spend the rest of my life proving that to you and making you the happiest woman in the world. "

After asking the all-important question, Nancy, who was very emotional at this point, immediately said yes.

The witnesses in the airport weren't the only ones touched by this display of love, as people in the TikTok comments were clearly moved as well.

"Ladies, this is our reminder to never settle for less than THIS," one person wrote, as a second added: "He’s so articulate, genuine and sweet this is so beautiful."

Let this be a lesson to all - that no matter how much time passes, true love will find a way!

"In my experience, the gift to the mistress tends to cost double whatever they give to the wife, and it is far sexier," Lee said. "I've been a wife on Valentine's Day, when I was married to my late oil executive husband, and all I can say is that being a mistress is a lot more fun."

"The sad truth is that monogamy is unnatural. Who decided that it was good idea to commit to one person in your 20s or 30s and then stay with them for the next 50 years?" she said. "Where is the fun in that? Inevitably the sex is going to go stale."

"Go out on Valentine's night and you will see thousands of couples staring at each other vacantly over dinner. 

"They have very little in common, sex has become a routine and they have stayed together for the sake of the kids or because it is too expensive to divorce."

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, which can mean only one thing: singletons everywhere will be preparing their microwave dinners and wondering why none of the 7 billion other people on the planet love them enough to have a relationship with them.

Of course, I'm just kidding - there's absolutely nothing wrong with being single come February 14. I've spent many Valentine's Days as a single man, and if I'm being totally honest, it saved me a fortune.

Besides, why shouldn't single people be able to celebrate Valentine's Day? Why are restaurants offering free bottles of wine and discounts on two meals for people in relationships? I've got plenty of single friends that can polish off a bottle of wine to themselves.

Well, one company that is refusing to let single people sit this year out is Bluecrate, who has released a line of 'Anti-Valentine's Day' products that make the perfect gift for any loved ones riding solo this February 14.

What better way to let your entire office no that you don't give two hoots about being single than with a heat-change mug that reads: "If you're single and you know it, die alone".

The mugs can also read "SelfPartnered", "If you're single and you know it, use your hands", ''Single AF'', or you can personalize it with something amusing. (I could really have done with an "If you're single and you know it, cry yourself to sleep while watching Star Wars for the 56th time" mug at college.)

As the product description reads: "Then every time you start to feel a warm flush of emotion towards another person enter your soul, fill your chosen cup with something hot and dark, drink it down and give yourself a good talking to."

Looking for something more for the home? Then how about an Anti-Valentine's Day cushion? Adorned with the same singleton slogans.

So, if you're a proud single individual and you want the world to know, or perhaps you just want to treat your single friends this Valentine's Day, check out Bluecrate.
