The time Valentine’s Day was forgotten.

February 14, 2027, Valentine’s Day next year. The day restaurants are booked up, chocolates and flowers are bought, men propose, and the color red is prevalent. It is also the day of the Super Bowl next year. Now, I get that most Mylotters could not care less about American football. But I do, and over 250 million people worldwide do too. That’s not even the highest rating ever for it.
Now, more than ever, I think long term couples are downplaying that day, for good reason. It’s excessively commercialized, and always has been. But it’s still a big deal to a gigantic number of couples.
Will women “allow” their men to watch the game without guilt? Will men who don’t like sports let their wives who do, enjoy it without revealing their glee they don’t have to go out? Will you choose between a fake holiday and football? And will I, ever find a guy who loves sports as much as I do? Stay tuned…

Since the Raiders haven't been there since 2003, I never "care" about the Super Bowl in terms of who wins, but I make certain to watch. And I'll be watching it in my place, by myself. And I'm good with that.

@AmbiePam - In fact, the last Super Bowl party I went to was that Raiders loss to Tampa Bay.

I think celebrating love is not about where do you spend your day, it is always be with the person you want to be with in that very special day. It doesn't matter if you go out or not, the important is the person is there to celebrate with you.

Technically a couple could do both.
My husband doesn't watch the superbowl so it is not an issue in our household, and he is a traditional romantic, and he will want to take me out for supper and do something else depending on the weather.
Everything planned depends on the weather during January and February.
