My wifey
And yes, I love V-Day. I know it's fabricated by greeting card companies and blah, blah, blah...but isn't every holiday kind of "made up"? And why NOT have one day JUST for love?
Maybe I'd be singing a different tune if I wasn't in love, but there's nothing like beautiful flowers and a little reminder of "I love you" to brighten a gal's day!0 -
Ahh thats sweet. She is one lucky lady. I am currently single and indifferent about it. Im happy for the couples inlove.0

Yes, I love all holidays and I buy a little something for everyone I can think of (my mom, my little brother, my godson, treats for my coworkers, etc. etc. )

Haha - i used to love the day after - because all the sugary goodness would be at least 50% off. I won't be partaking in any of that this year!0

Those things are expensive! I should start a company doing that **** for like half the price... i would make a killing! lol.0 -
Not especially, but I celebrate and do stuff for my wife. I got her a rad necklace that she saw and really liked so pretty stoked about seeing her reaction to that. I kidna loathe going out and trying to battle the crowds as far as dinner and so forth so the plan is to cook her dinner and stay in. :smooched: :drinker: 0

OMG yes and also after EASTER! Last easter I bought like 9 packages of cadbury eggs.
I was given some chocolate covered strawberries yesterday, which was lovely and terrible for my calories.
But honestly I used to like it better when I was single - maybe just because I had more free time. I loved all the red and pink and hearts and chocolate everywhere - I still like that stuff but now it just reminds me that theoretically I'm supposed to DO something about it.0 -
i like that. If i was in a relationship, that would be ideal for me. Stay in and cook :-)Not especially, but I celebrate and do stuff for my wife.

This is just my personal opinion, but I don't think having a day where romance is expected is particularly romantic. To be frank, Valentine's Day just makes me tired when I think about it, but I grin from ear to ear when I remember my second date with my husband when he brought me an unexpected gift he made himself.
We really enjoy going out, but you couldn't pay me enough to go out on V-Day. I'd rather have a quiet conversation without having to wait or make reservations.0 -
Ha yeah...now the hard part is determining what to cook. :happy:0

We're going out the night after. Our restaurant of choice is a cozy French place that was booked solid a month ago... but we should have the place to ourselves on Wednesday. 0 -

I don't really care for Valentines day, but it means a lot to my sweetheart so I do my best for her. We are all loved up & happy & we celebrate our love every day, that is far more important to me than cards & flowers etc.
My valentine is TinyTee106 0 -

This sums up my opinion. Plus, it's CRAZY out tonight. I went on a date last year on Valentine's Day and I don't think your could pay me to go out again.
And the day after is wonderful for chocolate. I'm hoping the Dove dark chocolate hearts are on sale. Those make a good chocolate-y treat. 0 -
The kids and my sweetie and I are going to make cookies tonight. They are ages 3 and 7 now so we'd better get these fun family celebrations in now before the teen years hit!!!! I'm not going to eat the sweets but it will be fun decorating. My girl and I have a night away planned ihn March. That will be our Valentines!!0

My wife is working today. She wanted to go out for dinner, but I think it would be nice to stay in and I'll make something nice. Hopefully she'll agree.0

When will you single persons learn that Valentines is a single person's holiday! Its SUPER fun for you, there are fun singles activities, lots of chocolate everywhere, and NO obligations to do CRAP about it if you don't want to.0 -

in my entire lifetime i've only ever had a valentine once on valentine's day....i've gotten a little jaded about it. i can understand the whole 'love yourself' and send love out to the universe and all that jazz, but why do i have to do it on that day?! it's just marketing and selling things, i'd rather do it when i know i need it for myself.0
