myLot reputation of 67/100. catarina_rg (236)   ranked 9,628 out of 11,773 in love6 months ago

i know it's not around the corner or anything but i was just wondering.
even now there's a lot of ads about valentines flowers and candy and teddy bears and all that kind of things...
do you enjoy it?
is it important to you?
do you always celebrate it?

personally i feel it's too commercial... all couples changing gifts on this one particular day that, to my knowladge, has no special meaning...
i have friends that say that wanting to celebrate valentines day is part of being in love, but i feel that when we are in love we should give gifts just because we love the other person, because we think of him or her and because we wish to be together...
so having a particular day when you are supposed to do all theese romantic things doesn't make much sense to me... i think it actually takes away from the romance, since you are not just doing it because you are in love, you are also doing it because it's valentines...

if anyone has tha patiente to read this... let me know how you feel!

I don't make a huge deal out of it or anything. It is hard to make plans when you have three kids. I usually cook an extra special dinner, and the kids are there with us. I guess what I like about Valentine's Day is that I kno I am going to get some carnations from my husband, I love carnations, and that is pretty much the only time I ever get them.

having kids and keeping romance flame must be very difficult, and i sincerly admore people who are able to do it.
on a completly different note though, carnations are my favourites too! they're just so special and pretty!

I agree with your comments about not needing a special day to show someone that you care. Valentine's day is of no consequence to me at all.


myLot reputation of 67/100. catarina_rg (236)   ranked 9,628 out of 11,773 in love  6 months ago

thank you so much! i rarely find someone who shares my view on this topic... it actually get me in a very ugly fight in a past relationship! thankfully now i have someone who agrees with me...
anyway, you should love all year round and to only in one particular day...

If i have a special someone to celebrate it with then i do like it. If i have no one to celebrate it with its kinda upsetting to me because i am the person who hates seeing couples out and wanting to be like them. I was in a relationship for two years and it just ended three weeks ago and i had a blast with him and it was great til the end so i think valentines is important and if you are in a relationship it should be celebrated and to give something from the heart to the one you love. I think showing the one you care about them and giving something to them is important because not everyday you can do this and one day out of the year might mean something to someone.


myLot reputation of 67/100. catarina_rg (236)   ranked 9,628 out of 11,773 in love  6 months ago

i understand your point of view, but if that day could be something speacial that had a particular meaning for the persons involved in that relationship, wouldn't it be better than having the day all other couples around the world have?
but i'm very picky, and have a very personal sense of romance... i'm fully aware that my opinions don't apply to other people and i respect your view on the subject!

I am not a big fan of Valentine's day because like you said it is very commercialized. It puts so much pressure on couples to do something special for each other to show their love. I think if you really love someone you show them everyday and you make them feel special and loved all year long and don;t need one day to do so.


myLot reputation of 67/100. catarina_rg (236)   ranked 9,628 out of 11,773 in love  6 months ago

my opinion precisely. i mean, people get those gifts that are all the same, have no special meaning and so many times it's just because they have to, because it's valentines and you just must get you SO something, because if you don't your a bad girlfriens or boyfriend... it seems silly to me because when i feel than when you give something it should be from the heart and special and meaningful...

I agree with you Jeze. I think that Valentines day is too commercialized and puts all kinds of pressure on couples. But it also makes people who are single feel like crap because they do not have someone to go out with and do whatever on this "special" day. I dislike Valentine's Day a good deal. My boyfriend was happy when I told him that LOL.

Yes i do, but the only thing is, i dont like to have girl friends, but i like valentines day, i know its a typical thinking, but what to do, i dont like girl friends, because i have seen many of my frends, who were very good, but after having girlfrends, they get spoiled and they inspired me not to make girl frends, so i dont like to have, but i like valentines day, its a lovely day, but i believe its a dangerous day, many lovers do suicide for failure of their proposals, many hearts gets broke, and many eyes get wet, so its a red day;, means a dangerous day.

My boyfriend really had no idea how to celebrate valentines day. Ironically his name is Valentine. lol. I don't mind about it anyway because he says 'I LOVE YOU' everyday to me and kiss me on the forehead. That is romantic enough for me, he don't need to buy expensive present though. happyhappy
