It's so over rated*

and for those that are single it makes them feel worse.
unless you get a good BBBJ.

Fortunately, I found the kind of guy that cooks for me, brings me flowers, and suprises me with nice gestures on a regular basis so I don't need that one day a year to force him to treat me well when he already does.
Lucky bastard! :D

May your (and his) Valentine's Day be filled with Joy!
 
Apparently more couples break up on or shortly after Valentine's Day than at any other time in the year.

I hate the commercialism linked to it. That takes away the meannig of it all.

That is no different than ANY other holiday... Retailers/ Marketers etc, have blown holidays WAY beyond their original sentiment all in quest of our spare $$$.

I personally don't mind having the opportunity to remind those women's/ girls in our lives that we care about them. I always send a lil something to my Mom and bring home a lil something for my daughters as well as the SO (of course)... If that makes me a SAP, then so be it...
 
I hate the day, myself.

When I'm single, I get a BJ from a pro.


When I'm dating someone, it is the flowers and something nice routine, followed by whatever she wants, which is typically not a BBBJCIMSW.

Come on C-G ... get romantic! You just have to find the perfect gift! <3
 
When I was married, my husband tried to do nice things for me. In his dumb way, he was trying. For example, I'd come home from work and he would have picked up a bucket of chicken and potato salad so I didn't have to cook, or he would have shovelled the driveway extra wide so I could get out of my car without jumping over a snowbank etc.

Now that I'm divorced, the kids and I do little things that are fun for each other. My usual valentine's rule stands...the apartment is a no farting zone for the entire evening. My daughter wants to have family colouring time, and my son wants to bake, so I think we'll be ok this year.
