Valentine's Day - Like or Dislike  email this discussion to a friend?

I know, I know, I am a little late with this question, but it just came into my head and I want to hear some responses.

Do you like or dislike Valentines day? To me it's just a stupid holiday that "forces" guys and girls to get each other things and to act all "lovey" when the guys and girls should just pick their own days that are special to them instead.

I think it's fun and my boyfriend and I do celebrate it... but we don't buy in to the idea of spending a lot of money on each other too much.
Usually we just go out for breakfast or something and hang out together.. but he works afternoons/nights so I generally spend it alone anyways :) but it doesn't bother me.

I do think that couples should have their own special day (this is generally their anniversary).

I agree that it kind of makes couples (the guy especially) feel like they need to buy things and such, but sometimes it's nice to have a special day just devoted to being together. :) besides, if you're in a close relationship it's not hard to just say "hey, instead of spending money lets make dinner together and watch a movie!"

Agreed. You can make it whatever you want to make it... whether you want to celebrate a lot or just do something simple like dinner and a movie at home. Thanks for the response! :)

"Most holidays are based on pagan rituals or traditions. Valentines day is named after one or more christian martyrs named Valentine & was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 500. The Valentines honored on Feb. 14 are Valentine of Rome & Valentine or Terni. Valentine of Rome was a Priest who was martyred about AD 269 & was buried on the Via Flaminia. Valentine of Terni became Bishop of Interamna(modern Terni)about AD 197 & is said to have been martyred during the persecution under Emperor Aurelian. He is also buried in the Via Flaminia, but in a different location Valentine of Rome"

I got this information off of Wikipedia. There was a lot more information if anyone wanted to know any more. Basically what I am trying to say is that Valentines Day is based on people that no one even remembers or has even heard of. Yet millions & millions of people wait for the one day to express their love for one another. Like you mentioned, why wait for that one day. Why not make each other feel special everyday or any day of your own choosing. Why wait until Valentines Day? My husband & I tell each other we love each other every day. We exchange gifts through out the year for no other reason that we love each other. Just today in fact my husband sent me flowers. This is something he does every once in a while to surprise me. It's nice getting flowers & gifts for no other reason then the fact that we love each other & want to express that love.

Thanks for the history on Valentines day. How nice of your husband! And didn't those flowers mean a lot more to you when you received them today than they would have if he gave them to you on Valentines day because everyone else was? :)

I think it's fun too. Every Valentine's Day, I have no one to spend it with, maybe just with my friends. I think it's really fun, I don't know why. It seems a happy season and everyone seems happy on that day.


myLot reputation of 92/100. fallingfan (227)   ranked 5,030 out of 10,554 in love  2 years ago

Hmmm... everyone seems happy on Valentines day? Interesting opinion. Because for me I went on Facebook on Valentines day and it was about half and half - half my friends were happy because their boyfriends/husbands bought them flowers or something and the other half were cursing the day. Thanks for the response! :)

well for me its a beautiful day, but it doesnt matter or mean that the lovers will give a gift to there partners. its just a nice feeling that atleast once a year we are reminded that its nice to love and to be loved.


myLot reputation of 92/100. fallingfan (227)   ranked 5,030 out of 10,554 in love  2 years ago

That is a nice way to think of it (as a day to remember to love and be loved), but to most people it's more about gifts and things than it is about love. Thanks for the response.
