What's your thoughts on Valentine's Day?

Do you celebrate it or not or maybe you think it's overrated?

I'm not too hip on manufactured holidays based on consumerism.

I think it's a lame Hallmark holiday. If you love another person, you shouldn't need a date on a calendar to show it.

I don't celebrate it cause I have no reason to. 

It's fun if you have someone to share it withCanuck3000

I agree. But I don' t have someone. :(

[QUOTE="Rich3232"][QUOTE="SteverXIII"] Rich have you ever been in a relationship? or are you trying to get in there with someone?SteverXIII

You know, i tried having a relationship with someone. I thought itd be cool or something because thats what i had been led up to believe by society. it wasnt cool. she was a nice girl and all, but i felt like this mental block. everytime id get complimented (just like when anyone else would) from her I'd feel nothing. she was so smitten, and I felt nothing romantic towards her. i didn't get it, why was she so interested in me? why is anyone interested in me? its weird, I think im special in someways but people appreciarte me too much. society told me love and stuff was amazing "get a girlfriend" or whatever. it wasn't, i felt cold and empty like I always do. it didn't do a thing for me

hope you find someone good

I like the chocolate aspect of it.

just another day

No, i don't celebrate manufactured consumerist holidays.

No one here has a girlfriend... Haha

Neither do I but 2 years ago I told a girl I was dating that it was stupid and people just do it to make money. Guess what. She didn't like it. This was in our pre-goingout stage so it was a big deal to her. She took it as though I didn't really like her or something like that.

The point is. It is a stupid holiday, but don't pretend like it's nothing because if there is a girl that's interested in you, and you say something like I did or even not do anything. She's not going to like it.

The next year I learned and I got her a chocolate with a stuffed bear. All better, she loved it a lot.

You obviously don't need a holiday to show someone you love them, but because there already is a holiday that almost forces it, if you don't do anything about it, your significant other will not like it. Even if they say they don't want anything or agree it's stupid. They secretly want something.

Actually if anything my wife has a lower opinion of Valentine's Day than I do.

Singles awareness day? Well if I was in a relationship it might mean that I would do something special that day with that special someone.... but I'm fresh out of those at the moment....

I'm Single. V-day can be annoying a lot of times.

It's a scam. Valentine's Day was created to sell a few extra boxes of chocolate.

I'm Jewish, of course I don't celebrate Valentine's day. Fightingfan

Are you saying that Valentine's day isn't kosher?

oy vey, it must be all that porking.

It's good for cheap chocolate in the weeks after it.XilePrincess

It's a good way to make your girlfriend feel romantic, and a good way to depress a guy if he doesn't have one.
