I struggle to think of a reason to actually like it, aside from an excuse to drink heavily.

Lynne and I have always disliked it. We don't do anything for it nor do we get cards for each other. We love each other and show it all year round in our own way, so we don't need a special day to do it, we don't need prompting because the card companies think we should

Before I had a GF I liked it as I could go out on the pop and find lots of desperate, drunk and single women

Now I have a GF I really couldn't care less about it but Klara does so I'll have to do something. I'll be out the country this year so can get away with just sending flowers

As it should be.

Agreed. And it shows.

I did get one very nice hand madecard last year which was a total surprise.
I have a sneaking suspicion I know who it's from though

Lucky you!! Seriously. Some people, however, DO need prompting

I don't hate valentine's day, I hate the fact that everybody else hates it. Not doing anything for valentine's day or moaning about it seems to have become far more common than doing something nice, commercialised or not.

I hate the fact that I am single, but I also hate the fact that attempting to make any sort of advance on a lady friend at any time approaching Valentine's day is emotional suicide because it has become more acceptable to avoid clichés than to enjoy the tradition for the good it may bring

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
