on the desperation train

To be "on the desperation train" means to be single and in pursuit of someone to spend the day and/or night, without the intent of perusing a relationship with that person.

On Valentine's Day the only way to "get off the train" would be to find a date, to give up in the pursuit of finding a date or when the clock strikes midnight and you're all alone.

Like a right, but you've earned it. A just reward.

Person A: "Dude, I haven't gotten any poon in almost two years. I'm ready to do something gay by desperation."

Person B: "Dude, I know how you feel. You can crash at my place tonight if you're feeling lonely."

Person A: "Only if I can crash and burn...IN YOUR ASS!"

Desperationship

A relationship that someone only goes into because they are desperate and can't find anyone else to go out with them.
Girl 1: Honey, what made you go out with him in the first place?

Girl 2: I was lonely and he was the first guy to ask me out in a long time. It seemed like a good idea at the time...

Girl 1: Did you even like him?

Girl 2: No, not really.

Girl 1: So it was a desperationship, then. You only went out with him because you wanted to be with someone.

Girl 2: Basically.
