Oh I always loved Valentines Day when I was married..........the one day of the year (apart from my birthday) when he'd buy me flowers from the gas station. Yeeehaaaw.

Such a hero. I miss him................lol.

I'm not a big fan of Valentine's Day. It's one day of the year where your partner shows you appreciation and love. Just one day? Do we really need Valentine's Day to remind ourselves to love and make someone special? I'll rather take all the little things he does every day to make me feel loved.

Yes. I prefer it when my significant other can be romantic generally, not just because he's told to.

Let's toss 'Sweetest Day' in there for a disposable holiday.

Personally I could care less about this day one way or the other.
I am fortunate that my husband shows me and tells me numerous times each day that he loves me and I do the same with him.

I celebrate because it's the last day of 'Happy Horror Days' for the year. "Happy Horror Days" is the stretch between Thanksgiving to Valentine's Day.

Did I really just read somewhere back there that "women who don't have a valentine on valentines day are homely or undesireable?" (p 5)
Hmmm...
Thats the coldest thing I have heard in a while. What a horrible person you must be to think that way of others...you don't deserve a valentine.
I hope you don't have a horribly disfiguring car accident that leaves you undersirable, or have a divorce leaving you with children when your perfect husband leaves you because you got old and your breasts droop...or that any number of the things that happen to good and beautiful people and create such crisis that a day like valentines is sad for you.
Some peoples kids...geez.

As a Keyensian, I actually don't mind the "commercialization" of the major holidays like Valentines Day. It's quite a good thing for a stagnant or recovering economy to have a day where people are encouraged to spend. The profits for flower, chocolate and card shops keep people employed.
