Well most people hate valentines day, even those who are with someone.

Yes it is commercialised but it is also a way to show the people you love how you feel isn't it.

Today I am going shopping with my boyfriend, then we're gonna go to a nice restaurant in west London.

Now what is bad about that I ask you?

I like valentines Day?

Valentine's day is just like another day to me, tough on valentine's day it's pretty much a MUST to buy/do something for your girl ...

Well not really. Some girls are just materialistic. I told my bf I don't really want anything for valentines day, it's not really necessary..

But I'm getting him something later, it's just for guys all you can really get them is mens perfume..shirts etc... hmmm

Me thinks I will get him some Hugo Boss, he likes that. lol

That it being the 14th of Feb makes a difference to the way you treat your partner. If you're more concerned about the commercialism of V day than the facts that it's a day like any other, you're missing the main problem. What's stopping you from buying someone chocolates and flowers on any other day? Surely one could do this on the 15th of Feb, or the 14th of March? Hell, go all-out and get your partner something on the 9th of September.

Don't hate Valentines day, but I don't like it either. It sucks when you're not with anyone. And when you are, you have the obligation to do something special. And I hate obligations.

I don't like V-day. Not because it's over commercialized. But because it always serves to remind me of how lonely I am.

Why don't you go out? Come on get off the internet and do something about it. Unless you're really shy of course.

:( I dunno. Sorry.

That's exactly the problem!

Meh, it's a good excuse for sex.

Oh I see.. You have to work on that. Why are you shy? Are you continuously on the internet? do you lack in the friends department? are you not very attractive? are you weak? what.

Tell me I may be able to give some good advice.

If you don't have a girlfriend/boyfriend, then Valentines Day is quite useless... that is, unless you're planning on asking someone out on Valentines Day, but as we all know, a bunch of NG users (including myself) don't have school today, thanks to the weather. So that won't happen.

Some people have a low self-esteem from themselves. Appearance usually plays a role, but is an unreal factor (meaning they just need somebody to point out nothing is wrong).
Most people with low self-esteem have quite a lot of friends, but close up when talking to the opposite sex (or same sex, depends on sexuality of course) because they believe there is something non-attractive to them. That can vary from a big nose to bad breath to strange hobbies.

The best way to overcome this is usually pushing yourself to ask somebody out. There was this one guy that said one amazing thing:
"I have currently asked out about 60 women. I have been turned down 30 times, and 27 of these dates were rubbish. I am currently 28 and married".
It's an on-going search.

V-day=totally usseless, just another BUY-CRAP-day

I love V-Day, and it's not all about buying things for your significant other.

My husband and I try to do something different that doesn't require spending insane amounts of money on each other. For instance, I'm making him a dinner and he's... apparently sending a "visitor" over. I'm a little scared.

My thoughts exactly, why do you got to do or buy something special to prove you love them? seriously. Thats why I don't like V-day.

I'm apathetic about Valentines day myself :P but that's because I don't have a girl friend.

OH NOEZ!
Cupidz gonna get ya!
Watch outzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!1

It's just another day in which your female/male partner expects to be given a gift fom you making the day for giving presents and choclate instead of <3. Also if you don't have a partner then the day can either be depressing or one for sleeping in.

I hate it because I'm always single and Valentine's doesn't care about love amongst one another because they just want to cash in on the holiday like every other company

I like this years Valentines Day because I have a Snow Day.

I completely agree with that. If you really want to get a partner something to show them how you feel, why do have to do it on the 14th of feb? Any day should be fine.

It's the most unnecessary day of the year. Shops love it, and girls love getting gifts while they return the favour by giving a hug.

Those truely in love can celebrate it any day of the year without waiting for the one day to treat their loved one a little better.

Everyone knows where love comes from anyway. I shall explain in the form of a picture.

A shame, really. Though I have heard worse.

I don't hate it or like it although i do joy in with the love but i don't get anyone anything, but this i gave someone my guitar pic and i heard they were chewing on it

Here where I'm from v-day isn't anything special. It's even called "Ystävän päivä" which means friends day.

Valentines Day is the most depressing "holiday" for me. I've never been kissed by another girl or have ever been in a relationship. I feel like shit on this day. Thankfully, I don't have school, so I don't have to see idiots spreading their so-called "love."

It's mint.

I am going out tonight because 1 - It's student night. And 2 - Because it's Valentine's day, so there's plenty of lonely single girls that are desperate to reaffirm to themselves that they are still attractive to men.
