I feel like all holidays are fake, the product of retail companies trying to drum up business. Once upon a time, holidays were special days to celebrate life or commemorate religious events. Now there's a lot of societal pressure to make them into something that you have to keep up with.
I dunno about romance. I like being intimate and sex is okay, but I'm not great with big romantic gestures. If I want to do something nice for my sweetheart, I'll do it when I want, not wait for a day on the calendar.
