Every year it gets cheesier and more expensive... But what is the point???
Surely, you should show your partner EVERY day you love them, and not have to just show on a particular day... And when people are forgotten or don't have anyone, they get into a depression...
Don't you think it is time to ditch it???

no im not. its a beautiful celebration whether u hav a partner or not. im single, but i've got a date with my ex on vday, and i think thats pretty sweet.
its just another day to celebrate. like your birthday, you're alive every day, so why celebrate on that ONE day when u were born?? valentines day is when u celebrate love, cuz on this day, st valentine taught us the real magic of it.
why are u being so nasty about? and who says that u have to spend big bucks just to hav a nice valentines? sigh.

I think it is easy for people to get "sick" of Valentine's day because usually after a few years in a relationship, most people don't like being expected to perform or worry that what they are doing isn't good enough. Tis true, people should be nice to their partner daily, but some people aren't as a 50% divorce rate would maybe indicate. So some people need a "Love You" day as they take people for granted. Sadly, there will always be lonely single people.
If you are going to ditch it-make sure your partner knows. Maybe pick a different day to be appreciative of each other. For me, I always think of August 26 as my day to really show my husband I appreciate him as that is the day he showed up 18 years ago in 103 degree heat to paint my grandmothers living room purple for her! Hey and Happy Valentines Day too by the way!

Like most other "holidays", V day has been commercialized (as if it ever were not) to death. I don't like V day for just the reasons you said. I used to break up with boyfreinds right before V-day to avoid the hassle! I think they appreciated the gesture as well.
My 7 and 5 year old get into it with the little cards they agonize over and put in the decorated shoeboxes of their classmates. That's kinda cool.
Don't give in to the hype. Do your own thing on your own terms...if you are with a thoughtful and intelligent person, they will see it the same as you.

I start dreading Valentine's Day on January 2 every year. After the hangovers wear off, I think, "Crap, next comes Valentine's Day". I have to admit that I liked Valentine's Day more when I was with someone, or could buy something for my mom. You're right--Every day should be Valentine's Day when you're with someone.

Oh my gosh...i'm! i'm always unmarried on Valentine's day...it variety of appears like it really is MY job to be unmarried even as lots of the different females i understand have dates. it really is so troublesome...and that i got here across out the my weigh down has a female friend...and that i found out that my ex and that i will not in any respect get again mutually. this is like i'm laid low with "unmarried" abuse! properly on Valentines day I even ought to artwork, yet then i will have dozens of satisfied in love human beings coming by potential of my line paying for all of those sweet presents for his or her loves (and they practice to be lovable men), yet even as i pass homestead, i will sleep. My different option is to purchase myself a small bottle of wine and cherry flavored 15 august 1945 sweet and watch a sturdy action picture. or maybe i will take a blinding bubble bathtub.

I think all this fuss about that day is pretty boring!If I have to wait all year to get present or good sex,or romantic dinner...etc only on that day it sucks....Partners should take care,make surprises and be in a mood all over the year,isn't it?!!

After 20 years of marriage I don't expect anything on valentines day. Also my husband got me the beagle I had been asking for a month ago so valentines day is insignificant for me but some like it so they should go for it. I am happy I got my beagle so I don't expect anything on valentines day.

Sure you should show your partner everyday that you love them but do you? If you are one of those partners who take his partner for granted then it is a nice concept.
