Kirkatronics Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Haha! Well, if both are in on it, I could imagine it being fun. :p Lol, id be happy enough to wear pink. Would get some really weird looks, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolFunkMan Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Because they're afraid of the answer. As warandchaos already explained, Valentine's Day gives people a psychological boost. In that aspect I think it's great. Plus it's fun to make it cliché by going overboard with chocolate and pink, fluffy hearts. All holidays are over-commercialised nowadays - might as well make the best of it. I guess so, for single people at least. However, as for couples who are already in a relationship, they shouldn't need a specific day for romance/love/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldnt be as special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as for couples who are already in a relationship, they shouldn't need a specific day for romance/love/etc. That we agree about. If a person in a relationship says "I love you" only because it's Valentine's Day, there's no emotion behind the words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Screw Valentines Day. All I need is a chinese. This. Brilliant plan Shadow I'm with you on this one!

Eenuh Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Valentines Day is just another day for me really, never really got to do anything on it (because of the lack of boyfriend being around on that day). So this year I'll probably just sleep until noon (it's a Saturday, and I'll be going to a concert the night before) and then spend the rest of the day working for school and lazing around, heh.

Wesley Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Well my girlfriend and I are both at university so we don't have a lot of money to spend. But I think just chilling out in the day, maybe go somewhere, and then in the evening go for a meal. I don't get the Valentine's Hate. To say that you should be/been treating/ed like this all year is kind of missing the point. Even if it is commercial it's still a great day for taking the time out of your usual routine for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 but why not od that on any day you like? it's totally pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookiablo Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 but why not od that on any day you like? it's totally pointless. You can do it on any day you want and I'm sure the majority of us couples do! It's like saying why save present-giving just to Christmas Day when we could technically do it any other time we wanted (which we also do!). It's a time of year thing, it's cheesy and commercial sure, but as the above poster said, it's a day that is specifically "designed" (for lack of a better word) for setting aside some time in order to do something romantic and have a bit of fun.

Jimbob Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Lets see, it will be a normal day for me. Single life has its negative side sometimes, this isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolFunkMan Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Get your money back? Lol, not for the stuff I got her. She does owe me some money though, so I'll be following up on that. As I've stated in other threads, we're still friends, so hopefully it won't be much hassle (hopefully.) I get my girlfriend flowers every now and then, sometimes buy meals.Valentines day is an excuse to splash out, more thn usual. Fair enough then, each to thier own I guess.
