Why don't you show the people you love that you love them every day? Is the only way we know how to show love by giving gifts nowadays...ONCE a year?
Apart from the people who are still dating or people in the honeymoon period, who makes big guestures to show their love frequently...other than buying gifts?
Was it always like this or has it become like this over the years?
Why do you think this is though?
Or, do you disagree, if so why?

Also, the little gestures seem to have gone like remembering each other's favourite things. There's more divorce and break-ups so the little things people on the outside don't see, must be stopping as well. Although I'm aware people still do it (like Violet Pearl said), why are there also less of the little things? This must be why so much love is lost, right?

Hi Pink, i think its really down to individuals and the partners how they keep the love alive.
I myself tell her i love her everyday everytime i go out the door,even when just nipping to the shops for 10 minutes.
We both end any phone conversation with "LOVES YOU", no matter how many times we are on the phone.
We both text eachother at least 10 times in a day just to say Loves you,and things like that.
I regularly buy expensive chocolates(Thornton's are her fav)and bunches of roses,for no other reason than to tell her i love her.
We both show alot of affection to eachother,normally things like hugging and kissing even when we're doing housework.
We have never had a day apart nor do we wish to,and i can't see things changing in the near future.
Sometimes she even has to tell me off for being a little to frisky especially when she's trying to do the dishes.
I know alot of people will think so what ,i do that with my girlfriend and we've been together for month etc.
The big difference is i'm 40yrs old have 5 children rangeing from 8-20yrs old,and have been with my partner for 23yrs.
I love her more today than when we first met and would not even think of being without her.
Yes i'm 40 and loving it,and for the youngsters out there yes we are no strangers to the bedroom department or any other room in the house for that matter.(wink,wink)
Love life and love eachother for life and i promise the spark will always be there no matter what.

We have a hard time with Valentine's day because we are loving to each other every day. Besides buying a bunch of cheezy crap (which we don't do) there's nothing more we can do for each other. Every day is Valentine's for us- just without the shopping.
We don't make "big gestures", we make small, loving, steady gestures every day.
Today, I wrote my husband a letter on red paper, and tonight I'll wear something red-- but my loving behaviors and actions are the same today as yesterday.

I think (in general) we're a lazy nation period, when it comes to relationships and all other aspects of life. Relationships are disposable to many nowadays...easier to toss them aside when things get rough, and get a new one than to take the time to examine and fix whatever is wrong.
I'd MUCH rather my significant other express his affection for me spontaneously, than on a day like today anyway...V-day seems too obligatory and thus not so sincere. I don't want anyone buying me a card or gift because they fear if they don't, I'll be angry or upset...that's not love.

Very good question. It is so easy to pick up a phone and order flowers; but to support someone on a daily basis by doing gestures that enhance their life along with yours takes a dedication to the one you love. Caring about what turns your partner on in all areas of life and wanting to share this with them is what love requires. Becoming lazy and taking the other person for granted will do damage to the love you have together.

I think it has always been this way but you're just beginning to realize it. I know that its shown a lot more lately simply b/c all men are made out to be a thug or a lady wants a thug and thugs don't do mushy things like give Valentines gifts and stuff like that.

Its all a part of our throw away society, sorry.
Fast food, fast cars, fast love, get to it, don't worry, just go for it.
What worries me is that women are putting up with it, even making the first move.
I still believe romance is out there somewhere, but them again, I'm a poet, so what can I say?

ahhh i think its really sad that people don't do nice thing for each other all year round, its not about expensive gift just little things to let your partner know you still love them as much as you ever did. ive got a little boy and hopefully he will be a little Romeo, and my little girl definitely wont stand for second best.

I think that we are truly a a lazy nation , when it comes to relationships and marriage etc. they are so much easier nowadays to dispose, and certainly easier to throw them away without having to think twice about it as you know you will find another love just as easy !!. .
