I feel that Valentine's day is a terrible holiday not about real love, but a ruse to make women and men go to elaborate lengths to demonstrate their love in a very materialistic manner. If you want to spend the day cuddling on the couch watching romantic comedies; I will love to celebrate it that way. However, if you expect flowers, chocolates, jewelry, and/or an expensive date I am not down with that. Granted it is probably worth noting that I got a 0% for gift giving on the quiz to determine my love language.

It isn't a deal breaker but I'd sure be annoyed.
He probably has a different love language. can't tell how he feels bc I don’t know him personally and don’t know anything about your relationship. Basing off the comments, I understand what you mean by a man courting a woman. And yes you are a “prize”. So is he. You are equals. I think his love language is physical touch and quality time. Yours might be gifts. Not a bad thing, just communicate it. Don’t make him cry though or threaten things lmao
If he was a nice and sweet boyfriend every day, I wouldn't care if he didn't get me something for V-day. But it sounds like your boyfriend just isn't very nice on any day, and you should break up with him girl. There are so many other guys out there :)

some people just don't like to celebrate it.. fawning over someone just because its a certain day seems more shallow than maintaining an even amount of it on the day
I don't believe in it a day of romance what a load of bs. Should try do nice things all year around like weekend breaks away or show up to there work with lunch etc
Why is Valentine's day special. I agree that it is stupid to have a day where you are supposed to be romantic. That makes it completely unromantic.
You shouldn't force him into such things. And he's an asshole if he does nothing for you.
You sound like an entitled spoiled brat. Men are done celebrating holidays that only benefit women. He is a smart man.
I literally can't this year
