I love getting presents. I quite like giving them too - But I hate the pressure to try and come up with something that expresses how I feel that isn't a cliché. Also there seems to be a bit of a gender imbalance - it still feels like the day the guy is meant to do something big and romantic, whilst the girl can get away with doing little to nothing.
Generally I don't think Valentine's Day is necessary. We have birthdays and Christmas already, plus anniversaries if you've made it that far. We don't need the additional stress or expense of Valentine's Day. Oh and it makes some single people feel like shit (although personally I forget about it when I'm single).
We were married on the 16th, because it was a Saturday, so our anniversary is close to Valentine's. it's very romantic and we've been married 33 yrs.
It's good for business because people will buy dead roses and expensive boxes of candy.
It's bad for some couples that can't afford Valentine's day because they're still broke from spending all their cash on Christmas stuff.
Valentine's Day? You misspelled it.
It's actually spelled like this: Manic Depression Day.
It is pretty much Singles Awareness Day. Personally, I dislike the glorification of it and all of the boasting people make about their plans. I don't hate the holiday, but I do feel a bit sad when it comes around for the obvious reason (I'm single). I'm not going to hold it over people if they chose to express their love for one another, but I would however appreciate it if they didn't start making out in front of me. Also, there's the typical "why do people need a single day to express their love" rant but I feel like that's obvious and people who are in love already show each other their affections, so I'll just leave that complaint alone.
In conclusion, I'm annoyed by the whole glorification of love and yes I do feel some animosity over the fact that I've always been single and never shared a valentine with someone. However, I'm not going to hold it over people if they want to express their love for one another, but please don't make out in front of me.
I don't love it, but I don't understand the hate so people have. It's one of those things that in the last few years large numbers of people have started to leap upon and attack en masse, but I don't see any reason why. According to them we should be begrudging other people their happiness to make ourselves feel better, but that's just stupid and selfish.
Valentine's also isn't saying you don't need to be nice to your partner on other days too. I don't know why so many people read that into it. It's just a special day to enjoy together (if you want to), like Father's Day and Mother's Day are for your mum and dad. If you read anything more into it you're being too cynical.
Eh. Sometimes it's cute to watch the couples interact with each other but not really my kind of day. I still like it though.
I love it! I get flowers chocolates, jewelry. And I always have more than one valentine. <3
Yay Valentines Day <3
No I hate it. Absolutly hate it with a darm passion. I haven't got a romantic bone in my body. I am only interested in sex. I don't do love never have done not going to start now. Valentines day is just a con for people ta make money and it can heart breaking for people who have just came out of a relationship. xxx
I don't see the point in it. There shouldn't be just one day to be extra nice to your partner, you should do that every day.
It's an odd time of the year to ask this.
And my answer: I don't care.
Valentine's Day is just another day on the calendar for me. It is not more or less significant than the days before or after.
I've never cared for this BS that only serves to rake in money for certain capitalists.
No, because it makes me more aware of my singleness (forever alone!) which makes me despair. What I don't agree with is this idea to be somehow more romantic and appreciative of your significant other for this one day. To me, you should try to be romantic and appreciative all of the time regardless of some saccharin holiday.
I think its an alright day. I think people getting overly sad about it is a bit of a stretch though. I know people say things like "Everyday should be Valentine's Day" but why can't you give something to someone when its not Christmas or give thanks for food outside of Thanksgiving? Also, those who are suddenly sad that day about not having a mate, did you have one the day before Valentine's day? The week before, the day after? I guarantee you that those people weren't that sad before Valentine's and won't be the day after. Its okay to celebrate, or not, no biggie.
