Its not about the gifts, cards, or night out. It's just nice to know that someone loves you. Being single is kinda hard today, because everyone is VD this and VD that.

Indeed, and thats why its over rated, if you can't show the one you love that you love them on any given day, then what makes it so special to only show them on one particular day out of the year...Makes no sense...

Its true that its been taken over by the greeting card companies, chocolate companies, and flower shops. It used to be more about putting yourself out there and asking someone to be your valentine. A day to hopefully start new relationships, more so than celebrating an existing relationship.
Ohhh...and btw....your avatar doesn't match your name anymore. lol

And ya, I know it doesn't I changed my name a little bit back and figured instead of making people guess who I was I'd keep the avy for a while just as a way of letting people know who I am...

I have to be honest, VDay means nothing to me or my partner. Crass commercialism. My own dislike of VD came from when I was still living in the UK and they started selling a single Rolo (chocolate covered caramel sweet) in a heart shaped box for £2. This is over 10 years ago, so £2 was worth even more. You could buy 6-7 individual packs of the stupid things for the same money. Of course, it all came from their marketing campaign - 'Would you give someone your last Rolo?' where the idea is that they are so nice you keep the last for yourself no matter what.
£2 for a single chocolate. Fuck that.
Of course, we are free to make of VD what we want. We can ignore the crass and just adore each other with stolen flowers and home backed love.
That was before two kids came along.
Who said romance is dead?
