Women deserve to be made a fuss over, it means a lot to them and it's only once a year. Try not to be such a twit about it.
Personally if I'm going to buy my wife flowers it'd be on any other day rather than stump up with the extortionate prices the capitalists want

I seriously hope your girlfriend's not diabetic. This sort of sugary sweetness is enough to send her into a fit.
But anyways, I always thought Valentine's day was about sending cards to girls you were in love with, but that they weren't allowed to know it yet.
I remember sneaking up to this girl's house, I must have been 16 or 17. My friend parked the moped and I ran up the garden path and shoved it through her letterbox.
What I'd done was write it like a child would (big, odd letters) and I painted a beautiful big flower in it (man...it sounds really psychotic, reading it back like this...) and signed: A non A mouse.
Another point I should make is that I have a god-awful taste in women. I always fancy the prettiest girl of the class, the richest girl in town or the woman who's got men tripping over themselves like rats to get at her....that combined with me looking like a pizza and smelling like a rugby sock...well, that about sums up my chances...
Anyways, 2 days later at school the girl walks up to me and says: "Thank you for your love letter. Alas, you're not my type. Mousy."
I nearly died, especially since all her friends were standing around and pointing at me as if I was a nazi in a synagoge.
Luckily I'm a very witty person and brushing my greasy hair out of my zit covered face I said: "How the hell do you know it's from me?"
See how I witty I am?
She said: "I saw you running down the garden path."
I am forced to agree with Starman on this topic, but not on the grounds of commercialism. Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I feel as though it is both parties duty to keep romance and love alive the entire year. Now I'm not married or even dating at the present moment but I think it is important to leave subtle litle hints for your spouse every so often just so they know you care, perhaps a love letter or a poem that you wrote. Perhaps when you have the day off and she is at work slaving away have the house clean and a candle light dinner waiting for when she gets home, just something to show her that you appreciate everything she does...24 hours a day 365 days a year. My thoughts on the matter, however misplaced they may be at present time there they are.

i just think that the people posting in this thread are the ones who don't get any recognition on valentines day and don't want it to happen so their humiliation can stop!

Blobby, I thought you were leaving for:
1) 2 weeks
2) 2 months...
How about you crap, or get off the pot.

Speaking as a woman, I must say that I have always thought it was so much better to make something for your love rather than spending alot of money on something. I am thrilled with a poem , a homemade card, a cookie :-), or some daisies or wild flowers. Women like the romance of it.
