The day when florists, card shops and restaurants all hike their prices up in order to cash in on the poor saps who actually need to be told that they should show their partner how special they are on just one designated day a year, while at the same time making anyone single feel unworthy.

Or am I just an old cynic?

[Geodude]

Hear hear LPH showing your partner how special they are should be part of every day life not just once a year because you 'have' too.


xGx single and unworthy :(

There's no decent flowers to nick from next doors garden this year :s

I did however make some cakes for my colleagues on a Valentine theme.

I almost gave you a CLAP for the thread title!

True, but it's all for naught if you don't make an effort today as well :rolleyes:

Well done Sir, I appreciated that one. :smt082

It may be a consumerist thing, but it is also a day when I can tell my beloved that she is not left out. She is loved and she is special, so I did get her a card and a small gift to go with it because any excuse to tell her how much joy she brings to my life is well worth taking. I love my girl so much, I gave her herpes. :smt077

Carol and I celebrate six years together on the 24th of April this year, six years since I handed in my notice at a job that was good, paid a decent wage and I enjoyed so that I could move to a new town in a different county with a girl I had only just met! Such a typical lesbian thing to do, we always move in together on date number two. :smt050

I'm just a single guy who's happy that way, so feel free to tell me I know nothing, but It strikes me that you could probably tell her that on the other 364 days too.

I do indeed, I tell her every day that I love her, that she is my best friend as well as my partner and to be honest I think that this is why we have lasted as a couple. I do not take her for granted, I have not tried to change her into something that she is not. I love her for who she is.

On this day though, why leave her out just because I tell her every day? So a card and a small gift to tell her that I love her is worth it, just like it is when ever else I do it during the year.

What is sad is when this is the only day that people tell their partner that they love them, or they send a card out of obligation.

[Matt-EUC]

Hitler didn't have many friends though.

[ClunkintheUK]

Hitler didn't have many friends though.

That's not the main problem with Hitler. He did have quite a fanatical following.

[Matt-EUC]

But no friends... They hadn't filmed it yet.

Is it wrong that this made me laugh really hard? :smt081



I just had a lovely card from the wife, she knows how to spoil me. We are off out to romantically mooch about in the horrible weather together now, because we love walking along the sea front when the waves are crashing and the sand and raw human sewage are being blown around like toxic paint stripper. :smt055

Happy days :evil:

[Fallout]

Ahhh valentines day ... it's no more meaningless than your birthday or Christmas or any other anniversary. The passage of 365 days is almost completely meaningless in itself, and if you thank that it isn't, you're wrong.

So the Earth has orbited the Sun completely and that means we should all congratulate ourselves on the fact we were squeezed out of a vadge 'x' many years ago? Really?

Valentines day is no worse really. So it was invented, yes, but why is this invented day of love less significant than the day you scurried from your mother's nether region? At least love is current ... I would hope most of us have not been near our mother's nether regions in a VERY long time, unless you are a full time carer and have been giving wiping responsibility today.

It's all rubbish, all of it. I say just climb aboard whichever bandwagon is heading in the direction that tickles your fancy.

Oh by the way I didn't bother to send you a card this year, I'm not sure you appreciated the Zombie one last year.

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

I think it is lovely that we have one day year when we can tell the kids to just shut up and go to bed, it is our night and no they are not going to share the Chinese meal with us. Saying that DJ would be in big trouble if he wasted his money on overpriced flowers, any other day of the year is fine (apart from Mother's day same rules apply)!

Couldn't agree more G, we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary last week and we don't bother with valentines day, we show our love all throughout the year not just for one day.
IMO, it's for people dating not married or for people in long term relationships.

He will!!! I won't be making any kind of commitment.

So many poor partners are forced to fork out on expensive tat or else they're in the doghouse for the rest of the month, we stayed in and happened to watch a good film which we do quite a bit, it was just another Friday. It should be a Happy Singles Day too, no cards for that it would seem!

Congratz on the anniversary SP1 :D would have been my 18th this year if i wasn't coated in relationship repellent :(

Nice card that MYB and made with care as not an oily finger print in sight ;)

[dizzyblonde]

Love is alive and kicking in this thread eh :rolleyes:

As a very romantic pair, who actually have no issues with showing each other love and affection any time of the year, we use this day to spend time alone from the kids.

I got chocolates and roses in the morning and we spent the evening in a Greek restaurant. Being able to have some 'us' time is rare. We have few choices for babysitting, so an offer of a night off on this day is grabbed with both hands!

Over dinner, we spent time giving attention to an extremely important family affair. Something very exciting to talk about which always gets interrupted by other things at home. I also learnt some treasured things of my partners past, forgotten, which were buried in his mangled memory. Thanks St Valentines :-D

Fair, if folk want to be miserable and making a point of it. Shouldn't begrudge those who wish to celebrate in some way.. Or maybe it's because you lot wish you got spoilt a little more often than you do? :geek:
