No more or less than any other day of the year.

As a single person, it's a bit annoying. But even when I was in a relationship, I found it kind of cheesy. Any "romance" seemed obligatory and not necessarily genuine. Could have just been the relationships I was in...

Nah, it’s a lame corporate manipulation to sell worthless crap to fools. Show loved ones appreciation daily, not with landfill ready trash.

it's just another day as I'm more spontaneous than that.

I hate valentines day. My birthday is the day after and growing up all I ever got was chocolates and red panties. No big deal when I was married either and now that I've been single so many years, it makes me feel lonely, and I'm not a lonely person.

I save a lot of money on Valentine's Day.

Meh.

One V Day my date came to the door in formal clothes with a box o' chox and a dozen roses. I was grateful and thanked him, of course...but I also felt bad for him that he obviously thought he had to adhere to these scripted activities (his bearing bore that out).

I'm thinking, "Jeez, man--I just thought we were going to have dinner. I wasn't expecting a big theatrical production."

Why not Valentine's every day ?

Only significance is the one month countdown to Pi Day.

When I am not in a relationship it is a reminder that I am alone and make me sad. When I am it adds stress and wierd expectations. Its rarely a good thing. I could do without any of the consumer based holidays.

Hell yeah... at times cost money... but yeah. Even the year I Fucked It Up I did not Fucked It Up I was Real. When my marriage was on the rocks and separation was being discussed and requested by her... the only year I did not made any Valentine effort of any kind... she bought herself a little red devilish outfit in Victoria Secret and what have you. She was disappointed of my none action that day and that even when she put it on to show me what I missed. I simply said something like... "It does no longer matters". But I am a Valentine guy. Flowers, candy, poems... LOVE MAKING... the whole romantic thing.

Nope. I really dislike it.

I intensely dislike it, so not as bad a Halloween which I loathe and detest.

I really like gifts. So any holiday I can get gifts or candy I'm all about it. In reality it's all bulshit and it's a good way from corporations to make money but I like gifts. I really like gifts.

It’s never really been that much of a big deal to me. Just another day for the business to make money.

No. In fact I made a dentist appointment for February 14th so I can get all my pain over in one day.

Honestly, this is likely the first time & place I’ve felt safe saying NO. The ‘Saint Valentine’ part always grated on me ...leaving me to wonder, yet again, what longtime pagan celebration had been stolen and replaced by another fictitious religious ritual..

Meh, hyped up retail holiday that makes single people feel bad. I like the discount on chocolate the next day.
