Valentines Day

[BanannaMan]

Is a commercialized bunch of carp if you ask me...
A dozen red roses will be half the price both the week before and the week after.

However Mrs. BanannaMan loves it ...so ....
she'll be getting those overpriced flowers, chocolate, night out and more.






Shouldn't there be a holiday for the blokes where the lasses have to buy us bike bits or some such???

If i had a girlfriend then i would buy her a card, a small present and take her out somewhere. It's really the done thing, even though i do think it's tacky.

Then in the evening taking her out for a meal where the waiter will bring her meal + a gift wrapped red rose to the table.
Then home where i.ll have a bottle of her favourite wine chilling on ice,then.........















SHA**ING!!!"....HOPEFULLY

Gah tis definitely commercialized tripe. Generally makes singletons feel crap that not being in a relationship and those in a relationship generally feel pressured into doing something. YC an me don't bother with it, we don't see each other on the day anyway.We do occasional romantic things throughout the year so Valentine's Day just goes unnoticed really.

I won't be going anywhere in the evening as seeing lots of couples together just reminds me he's miles away lol. I'm either going on a birding walk on Valentine's or go-karting, pending on the weather

Washing up liquid, is that code?

It is commercialised yes but it`s still nice to get a card. Mike and I only tend to see each other at weekends so as far as I`m concerned every weekend is like valentines day

This Valentines Day tho there`ll be passion aplenty as we`re off to Cardiff to watch Wales v. England so Mike will be in his element...... unless England win of course

which they will!

Surely a woman expecting 'gifts' for which in return she is expected to 'put out' has a much more unromantic name normally?

It is nice to see the majority of the ladies on here regard it as nonsense though, I thought I was the only one judging from some of the conversations I have had with friends.

Hubby tells me he loves me every day. I don't think you can get much more romantic than that.

Eldest daughters birthday is 14th Feb. We can never calibrate it as restaurants etc. are full of stupid couple cooing after each other.

Valentines day, mothers day, fathers day even bloody grandparents day etc. All invented for the gift/hospitality industries to prise readies out of mugs hands.

the worse thing being the stupid bints who moan you never got me a card etc. err why should I. I married you, don't you think shows that I must love you.

How come there's no 'i would probably do it if i had someone to give something to' option?

how old is she, i'm sure someone will get her one for you

for all that effort i should hope you do get some!

me though, never liked it, always been my view that if you love someone you tell 'em every day, why do you need one particualr day to do that? but saying that i could just be bitter about being on a 'lean patch' currently
