well, its a random day to celebrate the togetherness with your loved one. i agree that it sucks when you don't have someone like that, and the chocolate doesn't makes up for that imo >.>
but i like it, even though im single atm :/
i guess i don't have a option though, being the hopeless romantic i am :p
i still can fantasize *pouts*

(hooray for resurrecting threads)

It's a nice idea but always just winds up to mass commercialism, greed and exclusiveness. XD
The two Valentines days I was taken where even worse, my other half denounced it as a silly day that made people spend money simply to declare love, a thing which should be free, and she made me swear not to get her a thing.
She was right but I felt a tiny bit left out.

yeah, i agree with the commercialism issue ^^;
but its not like that you have to follow the mass :p

for me, only the idea counts^^
and just giving everyone chocolate is kinda dumpy anyway imo, atleast if thats someone who's close to you :p

I'd probably care more about valentines when I actually get to be with someone. Till then I have no feel for it.

It's a ridiculous day as far as i am concerned. I have never understood what all the fuss is about. The whole day is about having couples spend stupid amounts of money to "prove" they care and making single people feel like pariahs.

barf
 

don't really care, not committed to a relationship, I don't really want someone "hanging" on me. I like the 'wam bam thank ya man" kind of deal I got. Still what a day to waste money 'proving" how much you love someone when saying "I lOve ya" is more than you think. :o

Well, over where I live it's called a Friends Day... just to throw out a different view on it XD I've never really celebrated it aside when I was in school. They had a radio casting in the school on that day and they'd read Happy Friends Day wishes and anonymous crush messages that were sent in earlier.

So I guess in my country it's pretty balanced overall between friends and couples and it's not a very commercialized thing... I don't notice it being at least x)

I'm all for spending the day with a boyfriend but I don't really care one way or another personally.

I've always found this hollyday quite hypoctirical, cause people I knew were desperate to find a bf or gf for that day and then dump them the next day.

I actually LOVE this Holiday... Mostly cause my Boy Friend's Birth Day is on Valentine's Day

^_^;; So Yeah... I love Valentine's Day

ugh.... that sucks bad -___-
what a dick you'd have to be to do that? >.>

but after all, its only about how YOU celebrate it, not how others abuse this day for making money or anything else~
and if you know the history of the day, it actually HAS something to do with love :D
