Valentine's Day is pointless if you aren't seeing someone, and also pointless if you are seeing someone because you shouldn't need an arbitrary holiday to make them feel special.

Fun fact though: Saint Valentine's Day has been celebrated at least as far back as the 14th century. Saint Valentine himself (a priest and physician in the Roman Empire in the 3rd century) allegedly wrote letters to the daughter of his jailor, signed "From your Valentine." He was also rumored to have carried out marriage ceremonies in secret on behalf of couples whos' families didn't approve of the union. For this reason, his holiday has always involved an exchange of greeting cards, and also been associated with lovers. Due to a lack of verifiable information about him however, the Roman Catholic Church removed his holiday from the calendar in 1969.

Valentine's Day is a f*cking lie. It's only been about heartache and loneliness.
When I was younger, my parents would force me to shower them with attention because they were a couple and wanted to feel special.

I fell for a boy who was born on Valentine's Day just to learn that he would later on be abusive towards me.

I spent last Valentine's Day mourning the loss of a relative early that morning.
I hate Valentine's Day and I wish it never existed. It puts an emphasis on couples and if you're single, it's like, "F you!"

I mean, if people want to make a show of it, more power to them.

I don't really care, but I do a little. Does that make sense? The English language is slowly vacating my brain, I think.

I would be disappointed if my husband didn't want to spend personal time with me, but I don't care about going on a date or gifts or anything like that; just some more personal time than normal. Move schedules to make room for that, rather than the other way around.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I’m single but I like to celebrate cause it’s a designated celebration date the world can relate to. I purchased 4 pizzas today because they had a huge discount at Pizza Hut, and I plan on freezing 2 of them and reheating them for consumption on Valentine’s Day.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Do you have a significant other in your life?

Howdy13 · Answer

Back in the day in elementary school we used to give everyone candy in the class, so I used to really look forward to it cause I loved and still do very much love candy. Mannnn, I used to rack up on that day lol. I’d be in class making trades n shit pick up candy that people didn’t want, I loved that day hahaha. It was like Halloween pt. 2 except you ain’t have to dress up.

Anyways, now all grown up I’ve never had a Valentines. Haven’t done anything on that day or weekend since elementary school lol. I’ve asked a few girls here and there throughout the years but was turned down. So yeah it’s just another day for me. Although it’s a great excuse for me to get an absurd amount of candy for myself :)

CuriousJC · Answer

I only give the gift to my family and call it a day. A few times I ask this girl I like to be my valentine time, She say yes. But kept avoiding me whenever I try to be romantic towards her. She tells me to stop harassing her, and leave her alone. I told her she was my valentine girlfriend and she declined it. She told me Valentine's Day is just a holiday to ask exchange gifts to the person you like. She said there is no love and romance during that holiday, so I just left her alone. There's no point of being someone's balance I'm up then I can't even show the love and just accept the gift not the love

ItsMeElliana · Answer

It's actually cringe because all these things done for valentines day are just so normal and could be done on any other day. people just want to be cool and show off their relationship sometimes and it probably hurts those people who are single and dont have anyone and dont need anyone yet seeing other couples feel even more lonelier
the world has changed so much. its mostly all just for the trends and to be accepted by the society

ilistengood · Answer

For the first seven or eight years of our relationship my girlfriend swore she didn't care for Valentine's day didn't want anything yada yada yada, a couple years ago I happened to see a post on FB, I rarely went on her page, and saw sitting by my mailbox looks like another year of nothing coming, I was really surprised , she normally was honest to the point of brutal. Well I am sharing this in case there are others as clueless as I was, don't believe her/him , Valentine's day shouldn't be ignored

mamuma02 · Answer

Now I also White valentine card to my boyfriend

Jamie78392 · Answer

I like Holidays and don't typically rebel against them. Many people DO rebel against them. I enjoy them. If I don't have anyone to spend a Holiday with- its not big deal, I celebrate and enjoy it just fine by myself. Valentines Day is an example; Im typcally single on Valentines day and I spent it with myself or other single friends.

OpenClose · Answer

Ironically enough, I met one of my girlfriends at an "Anti-Valentines-Day" party. Basically a party to celebrate not giving a shit about Valentine's day.

I mean it was me and one other guy, and then like 10 girls. For a party protesting a romantic holiday, things sure got... heated.

DarkCarousel · Answer

On one hand, I don’t care. On the other hand, even though it’s a commercial holiday, it’s another holiday where it’s more apparent that you don’t have someone to share it with.

There’s a saying about single people saving money on Valentine’s Day… I joke about actually spending more money because of all the junk food to eat my feelings. 🤣

SnakeBoop · Answer

same. its just a bullshit day to promote commerce.
love should be everyday, not one day.
plus its a great manipulation tool for abusers to manipulate their victims with a "amazing" present which "must show they care!" on valentines.

anon171999 · Answer

Yeah, my partner and I don't celebrate it. Why celebrate your love on a specific day just because you were told to. We go on dates when we feel like getting out of the house together. Valentine's day is just a way to make money. It's too busy to go out on dates on Valentine's day.

stef85 · Answer

To be honest no I've never cared about valentines day because valentines day really never applied to me, why u asked because I'm 36 years old and been single my entire life and to be honest I was always okay with that, I guess I just could never picture myself in a relationship because I'm honestly not relationship material, so no I can't relate to most of u on valentines day, for most of u guys and girls it's a special day to show your love for each other, for me it's just another day like any other.

uwu_princess · Answer

I don't care about it too. I noticed a lot of people buy some gifts on Valentine's day, go on a date etc.. For me: people in relationship should do it more often, not just coz of valentines day.
I would feel better if I got little gift/flowers or smth on random day (not valentines day).

NamerOfStars · Answer

I don't think of it as "Valentine's Day"; to me it's "discount candy eve". Unlike Halloween, Valentine's candy tends to be more specialized and designed to evoke that specific image- more like Easter candy. Which means when the holiday is over, it goes DEEPLY on sale.

CurlySew · Answer

My fiance and I don't care about celebrating the holiday on that exact day. Like we will buy each other roses and chocolates and stuff after vday just because companies, know that people will be celebrating it soon and hike the prices of everything. So in a nut shell my man can give me a rose and tell me he loves me anytime of the year, who cares if it is or isn't on Vday. I do believe that we should still remember and celebrate Saint Valentine.

089Lexi · Answer

I've been single for years so I am used to forgetting about it until I go to the store and notice the candies for sale and then I realize it passed.

Northernlights25 · Answer

Every year I see so many "Man I don't care one bit about V-day" and some with an entire paragraph dedicated to as to why they do not care lol. If you really didn't care you wouldn't care to talk about it. And I don't get why we must verbalize not caring, some do some don't. It's not obligatory, I care if I have a girlfriend, if I'm single I don't have to care. Easy as that.

Manuel2 · Answer

I think women should spend more money than a card to show they love you  Like come to your door nakec and say i am yours and if you dumped me afterwoulds. I would not go to the police and call it rape

McKellar · Answer

I have much going on in my life to the point where I'm not even thinking about that right now. Even if I was involved with a woman right now,... she wouldn't stick around and inevitably leave me anyways way before Valentine's day does come around.

bolverk · Answer

Never 'celebrated' it even when I had a partner, we did something special the weekend before or after as Valentines Day itself has become to commercialised.

Juliette1994 · Answer

It’s overrated I mean it’s your gonna be sweet to me on Valentines Day. What about the other 364 days? Beside it’s also the day of Saint Valentines Day Massacre.

dragoblack · Answer

I've been trying to help get "singles'ween" celebrated, so singles have their own side of the holiday to celebrate. It's essentially second Halloween for single people. That way they get to get out meet other single people, dress up, and have fun. Maybe even find someone or just hook up. 🤷‍♂️

Minahh · Answer

I mean I do care up to a point. Like I don't care about the gifts and stuff like that but it can be a nice way to spend a nice time doing something special with your SO and heck even with your friends/family/platonic love interest/crush or your cat 🐈 ❤

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

I never have, just another stupid holiday to get you to spend money on junk.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Its not an important day unless you’re dating someone or in school and forced to watch people carrying around big stuffed animals. Other than that, its just another day

TruthBringer · Answer

Well, I don't care about it as a day. I still go with the flow and spoil my girlfriend. I see it like Christmas where you just go with the flow and get presents and spend time with loved ones. Only in this case it's just me and my girl.

Киттйлинк · Answer

If someone loves me they can send me yummy chocolates. I will get mad because I need to exercise and eat healthy but I’ll be happy at the same time 😛 chocolate 🍫 yum! 🥰😋😛🥳😍!!!

xXSaturnXx · Answer

Me and my partner don't really celebrate it much because its mostly a big waste of money, we don't need a specific day of the year to say we love eachother when we do that every day anyways lol

TheAfrikan · Answer

Am not celebrating it since am Single and even if am married or seeing someone I would still not celebrate it period. Me celebrating Valentine's day I would rather celebrate Halloween. @smahala1991

JoyGirl · Answer

This is my first year celebrating it.
Vday is on the same month as my anniversary, so he gets a mix of a vday and anniversary gift.
It also happens to be my bf’s birthday month, sooooo…lol 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Bel88 · Answer

Yeah, I don't care about it. It's all about extracting cash from gullible suckers who think they have to spend big in order to impress their partner.

Dargil · Answer

Catholics understand that Valentine (there may have been 2) martyred himself protecting love and marriage in ancient Rome. OK to think about that once a year.

jshm2 · Answer

Nothing special about Christmas (a period when a Jew got put on a stick) or Thanksgiving (a period when White immigrants stole Native American land).  Valentines is special.

_alice_ · Answer

It's the same days 14 February, 15 February, 16 February...  But 29 February important! 😂

SGTAdam · Answer

Well Christmas and Thanksgiving is still special to me, each their own. But yes Valentines Day... I do wish for a valentine and I just don't know. I dislike it.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

I'm not up on all that romantic stuff, but my g/f likes it and I like her.. so it's just natural I make an extra effort during that time.

Idazle34 · Answer

It is like any other normal day. My family never celebrated it, so I don't like to celebrate it. My husband on the other hand loves to celebrate it.

Phoenix-gb · Answer

Given I'm perpetually single, same. I'd like a reason to celebrate, but that would require someone outside my family to actually care.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I don't think of it being a special day for me, I have no Valentine so yeah it's not anything to me, I'm too old plus my Birthday will be Feb 9th and age 54 so another year older

NathanDavis · Answer

I've never made a fuss about it, however... the usual is for a lot of people to have cake on that day, and I will sure accept a left over slice... lol

Janaaaa · Answer

It's actually a boring day, with more expensive chocolate.

leighbee · Answer

Me me me, I don’t care about it and I always say that if someone really loves you everyday can be valentines day.

AnthonyJ01 · Answer

Highly overrated. Just an excuse to gouge people on candy and flowers

InferiorElegy · Answer

Just another day, granted one of the Rew days a year businesses use to slap it with a meaning to sell products and make money. The day means nothing to me and it means less as each year passes, granted this will be the last one I see.

bean2k21 · Answer

i think Valentine's day is very underrated and we should celebrate romantic love but people like Christmas more because of Jesus

Sasha_Gee · Answer

I care a little bit. I can say or receive a 'happy Valentine's day' and that's enough.

I’m single at the moment, and Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean a thing to me just an ordinary day.

JakeS00 · Answer

It’s another day but it’s nice to spend it with kids in the family giving them love and candy stuff.
