Honestly, guys, am I the only one who HATES this day? It's pointless. If you love someone, you should show them the whole year, not just one day. And why the heck do we have to get our lovers pressies this particular day? Why not February the 15th? Or any other date?
Am I the only one who believes Valentine's Day is just a commercial setting intended to trick fools into spending more money?
actually, im pretty sure thats exactly why valentines day was invented in the first place. the profits must certainly be lucrative for everyone involved, otherwise they wouldnt continue doing it, right? they sell you the supply AND the demand XD.
personally, i really like this holiday. i feel like, maybe it can be a sad day most of the time. but someday, when i have someone who i appreciate, and who appreciates me, it would be another good opportunity to show our love for each other. im a hopeless romantic :S
also, if you dont appreciate this holiday but your partner does, that leads to all kinds of unnecessary feelings that could have easily been averted, even if by simple writing instead of spending $ that you dont have.
