Hi,
I consider myself a romantic guy, but I don't believe in Valentine's day.
Before you bite my head off let me explain.
In my opinion - romance should be spontaneous and acted on by your mood.
If you're told to be romantic because of a day in the year - where's the romance.
If you love someone - don't you show your love all year and not just one day?

Agree 100%
What a crock of s*** it is.
EVERY day in a relationship should be special...I don't need a tacky card the size of a house, and a dozen manky roses to show I am loved

"Absolutely a crock ! Just another American import"
It's definitely not an American import. America didn't even exist as a state when Valentine's Day originated. |

Can't believe, you cynical lot.
Do you think those that do something nice for Valentines Day, sit in doing nothing for the rest of the year?
Everyday should be special but certain days should be extra special... you will be telling us that you don't do anything on birthdays or at Xmas, you simply show spontaneous shows of affection throughout the year.
Bollocks, stop being miserly and show your significant other a good time it's Valentines xxxxx |

Dint you think though for people who have been in ling term relationships, who both work long hours and have kids and do try their hardest to keep the spark and make every day special but find you can't do it everyday and most days are tiering, with everything else going on its just a day they can say 'Fuck it this day is ours, well get some poor sad non-believer to look after the kids and we''ll rekindle that romance that made us fall in love and it s a good reminder of why we're together so we don't forget' who cares if people make money from it! We're certainly in the category of 'Fuck it's' if you fancy baby sitting?? |

At last I (mrs oaky) don't believe you should have to be told on a certain day of the year we all have to get romantic, thought I was on my own with this one.
Any day of the year love is shown, a kiss, a cuddle a note left on the fridge or even an unexpected gift, isn't this what it's all about xx  |

Don't like Valentines day much as a special day as 1. Takes the shine off my birthday and 2. Makes everything more expensive and harder to book because of it. |

I love my wife more than life, and have no problem telling her, and trying to show her that. But I've always hated this day because it's so 'forced'.
Also, Valentine's Day pretty much says "You're single? Then piss off! You don't matter."

Valentines day is just another American money spinning import.
Besides that, the idea of Valentines day has nothing to do with established couples, it's all about receiving/sending a gift to a person you fancy from a 'secret admirer'.
Though how they're actually meant to know who they're from if it's a 'secret' beats us, so it's obviously a waste of time and money.

"You're single? "
whats single got to do with it its just more commercialised crap folk are conned into. Question as you are a couple what would the reaction be if your other half did or got you nowt. Love is 365 days a year so why have one day where prices are increased for flowers etc. |

In truth, Valentines Day is meant to be all about singles getting together, or trying to, with someone they've hitherto fancied from afar.
Nothing to do with couples really, they've just hijacked the concept!

A lot of replies appear to agree with me.
Most of the ones that don't say it's a day to make 'a special effort' - well I say that every day with a loved one is 'special' and I don't need to be told anymore than that, but if you do, then that's your choice. |

It's not about being told to make it 'special', it just allows you to plan to have an extra special day.
Take it that all the bah humbugs on here, having each day as special must be millionaires. Having romantic interludes everyday, with gorgeous meals, beautiful hotels, the whole shebang. So if you are doing this every day then what's 'special' about it?
Is it just could you don't like to be told that you have to be romantic on one particular day? If that's the case do you also ignore other special occasions and celebrate birthdays, Xmas and Easter on days that you decide they should be on rather than those 'dictated' by convention.
Stop being mingebags and have an 'extra' special romantic time on Valentine's Day. If you feel like your partner enjoys your 'special' days throughout the year, do you feel as if they are going to say...
'Cancel the meal and take those fucking roses back knobhead, you know I hate them just on Valentine's Day, give me them tomorrow.'
Take all opportunities to have fun and show someone that you love them.

Don't get me wrong - I love my mum, but 'mother's day' is not supposed to be for our female parent - it's supposed to be for 'Mother nature'. |

It's vastly over-hyped and mis-used now.
It's lovely for it to be a moment to recognise somebody that you love
But a couple of years back I received a Valentine from somebody that I'd met on Fab - just a swinging contact for casual sex, nothing more - and that deeply offended me.
That was the point when I really looked at what I was doing on here, and decided that it was time to move on... |

If a guy I was with was spontaneously romantic and did sweet things throughout the year it wouldn't bother me about such a day. But when married my husband was not so needed a kick up the arse to show a bit of affection.
Huummmmm wonder why I'm now divorced lol |

Valentines Day is a ruddy nuisance
I have to take the day off on Friday....
It will take me most of the day to open up all of my cards and presents, and sign for all the flowers and roses being delivered to my door.
I have had to put a sign up by the gate "Please ladies only one at a time..........( twins excepted)"
Thank God its only one day a year, I will be shattered by the end of it!

His loss
I agree.
I can't see the romance in being 'told' to be romantic on a particular day.
Surely a person would get more enjoyment from a surprise show of affection than an expectant one (i.e. Valentine's day). |

I think that's just typical of most marriages, as the years go by you take each other more and more for granted and show less and less interest in each other |

Wonder how many of those saying they don't like to be told to do something, that it's too commercial, that it is not in the true spirit of the day, that they do it spontaneously, have kids.
And of those that say such things and do have kids, who happen to be Christians, practising or not, do not buy their kids presents for Xmas.
All the same things you say about Valentine's Day could equally apply to Xmas. Surely such strong held beliefs regarding, lose of true meaning, too commercialised, every day is 'special', must apply to all 'special' days equally or does that make you a hypocrite?
Hang on just putting flak jacket and helmet on.....  |

"There is only one thing to do on Valentine's day. Massacre! (Oops, Wikipedia says it's already been done......"
By Motorhead/Girlschool, I believe on 10" vinyl. Excellent stuff.
Do all of you people acknowledge Patrick's Day or George's Day, or perhaps SAINT Patrick's Day or SAINT George's Day?
Whether you support the idea of an imaginary friend in the sky or not, FFS, please, at least say St. Valentine's Day, you'll at least appreciate where the tradition comes from, rather than blaming the Yanks for inventing another commercial opportunity. This one's down to the Christians, fair and square, and English ones at that, who started the craze for cards and presents. At least get your facts straight before bellyaching!
Slapdash criticism drives me up the wall... |

I said 'you're single?' because if you are then valentines day is designed for you.
As the couple said in the quote above, it's a day to break the ice with someone you've admired from afar. All this buying a card, flowers and out for a meal for couples is hijacking. To us it's just yet another excuse to fuck each others brains out |

"its supposed to be for anonymous admirers then you spend the rest of the year trying to work out who it was"
Exactly!
The fact that we've been together for nearly 30 years, through good and bad, feast and famine, being skint and comfortable, illness and health and everything else life has thrown at us shows how much we love each other.
We don't need cards from Clinton's a meal at the local Indian and a bottle of plonk to prove it to each other.
