Does Valentine's Day get on your nerves or do you consider it delightful?

It pretty much guarantees a blow job…do the math.

I love it for the kids. Crafts and passing out valentines to their classmates.

I’m indifferent about it for adults. I feel like there’s a different kind of pressure for adults. Takes the fun out of it.

I like it. I like it a lot this year since I have been very involved with someone since last Fall.

The holidays can be tough when you’re single. This particular holiday kind of drives a stake through your heart if you’re not currently seeing anyone. Even though I’m married now, I still remember all of those depressing Valentine’s Days where I felt like a total schmuck being single. My husband feels the same way, so we don’t celebrate much.

Now my daughter on the other hand loves everything hearts, ruffles, pink, fluffy you name it. She LOVES the holiday, so we do what she can so she has a happy holiday.

I’m over it. It really used to bug me when I was single. So much pressure on one day when love is something expressed every day.

I’m so over it! all it is is another way for stores to shame people into buying buying buying. I get more of a kick if my husband tells me to not cook dinner and we will go out to eat. Not on Valentines day but any other day not when society tells him he HAS to.

We don’t normally celebrate Valentine’s Day and I hate the commercial aspects of it. I have bought my husband a couple of little gifts this time. I just want to surprise him and say “I love you”. He makes me a cup of tea every morning. So I have bought him a teaspoon with a message engraved on it. I’ll leave it out for him to find on Saturday morning. Not expensive, but something I hope he’ll use each day and that will remind him how much he’s loved as he starts his day.

I’m indifferent to it.

I like it. It seems like a time to re affirm something important.

I love that good candy goes on sale the next day.

I could care less. Just like any other mass hysteria holiday. The objective is to be loving the other 364 days of the year not put all your eggs in one basket.

I’m indifferent. We don’t make a fuss about that day here. Nobody really cares for it except the love birds.

When I was growing up in NZ nobody celebrated Valentine’s Day, it certainly wasn’t celebrated by anyone I knew, even in my teens it wasn’t something people did. I still feel the same way for myself. If others want to celebrate and they get something out of it, go for it but as for me it’s not on my radar.

Fuck it.

When I was younger I thought it was stupid. Now, I think it’s sort of sweet. It’s still a “Hallmark” holiday, and generally speaking I don’t like that people are extra nice it do something extra special, because the calendar and some holiday tells them too. I like random nice notes and gifts better. Not that I ever expect any gifts, I don’t.

I definitely don’t feel pressure to do something special in the 14th, especially if it’s a weekday—workday. It’s Saturday this year, I’m not into fighting any crowds in the restaurants. Maybe Sunday will be better to do something special. I want to use it to go to Disney, but it’s President’s Day weekend and the crowds will
Probably be up. I’ll check wait times in Sunday and decide.

I am fortunate, my wife also sees this “holiday” as a pain-in-the-ass so I am not expected to provide all kinds of gifts.

However, I am expected to go out after the holiday and load up on half-priced chocolates for the both of us.

The wife once attempted to cook a meal for us one year, St Valentine’s Day Massacre.

I deal with Valentine’s Day in an extremely easy way: I don’t even think about it. (One of the perks of being single & living alone.)

Hey, it’s Friday the Thirteenth tomorrow! W00t!

^It’s here for me and so far not too scary.

My daughter was SO excited about Valentines Day this morning. She said it was a birthday party for everybody in the world. I never thought of it like that.
