I will be participating
@CT_CD Will you be participating?
yes, I'm fortunate to have a woman to love who loves back after decades of dry spell, so I take that day, turn it to a week and then sprinkle throughout the year to share love and gratitude.
If you don't have someone else in your life, then love yourself or be generous to someone else. You can love yourself by going on a hike, bike ride, run, walk a dog, pickup trash in your neighborhood, pray to God, give surprises to someone else, get a massage, buy a present for yourself, throw out stuff you don't need that's holding you back, etc.. It's endless opportunity of a new day.
I would absolutely LOVE to participate in this wonderful day where we celebrate love and I can shamelessly shower my boyfriend with expensive gifts, especially imported Swiss chocolates, a beautiful hand made card emblazoned with gold leaf, naturally preserved red rose petals, and pink and red oriental silk, and a beautiful Italian gold bracelet with “I Love You always” engraved in script. And he surprised me with a romantic dinner. Oh, just so beautiful 😍! That was last year…. This year, nothing! I am not even going on a date this weekend because so many guys are terrified that them asking me on a date near Valentine’s Day must “mean something”. Valentine’s Day means exactly what you as a couple want it to mean. Nothing more, nothing less. If you are blessed wit the resources to buy expensive gifts do it if you want, if you are not… obviously don’t! But having one day a year set aside to just celebrate what an amazing thing love is, I think is really nice. I also think it’s nice to have one special day for mom, ditto for dad (I noticed you didn’t shit all over Father’s Day… just an oversight or is Father’s Day ok?) It’s also nice to have one day when the family all gets together and shares a meal to celebrate all that which we are thankful for! As for Christmas? I’m Jewish and I absolutely LOVE Christmas. 🎄 🎅 🤶 We have a small celebration for Hanukkah usually we do something on day 1 and something on day 8, but go all out for Christmas!
I’ve noticed that a person’s dislike of St. Valentine’s Day is usually inversely proportional to the amount of Valentine’s they got in Middle & High School. For older people, it’s tied to their relationship history I mean, if you were the girl (or guy) who got forty to fifty Valentine’s at school, it’s hard to say you hate the day, but if you were the girl (or guy) who sat next to the person who got forty to fifty Valentine’s, and you didn’t get any… it’s easy to see why you don’t like it. If you’ve had few serious relationships, and the ended badly it stands to reason you won’t like the day celebrating love, but… If tomorrow you had a girlfriend with money, and she flew you out to her yacht which was filled with rose petals, and a trail of petals lead to the forward stateroom, where on the bed a giant rose petal heart containing the words “I love you David” (or whatever ur name is), and as you read that, she steps out of the bathroom with two glasses of champagne dressed in the sexiest thing you’ve ever seen her wear , I’m absolutely positive that you would not say “No! No, stop! I hate Valentine’s Day, this is all bullshit, I’m going home!”! No way, you would be happier than a pig in shit, and you would be so excited to see what next year brings. So I’m sorry that you’ve been unlucky in love, and that whoever hurt you, really did a number on you. But for those in love, it’s a wonderful day.
@frosti Awww 🥰 My hero! I got an 11th hour reprieve everyone, this will not be my first year of not being asked out for Valentine’s Day after all. Thank you @frosti. Sadly the constraints of pragmatism and space-time force me to have to politely decline your offer, but I thank you so very much for this incredibly sweet gesture. Once again proving exactly why I love the Valentine’s Day holiday so much, and that everyone deep down loves true love…. We just hate that it doesn’t always last forever, and that ending love hurts like hell. It’s easy to see why some would rather avoid love altogether. Again, thanks @frosti, obviously I know you were only joking, but you gave me a really “feel good” moment there, and in 2022, I’ll take it. 😘💋
Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of making it a big deal. I always gift him a box of chocolate covered strawberries with a cute little note attached. It gets delivered to his house since we’re really long distance.

Once we live together I would want a romantic candlelit dinner at our apartment. We can order our favorite food, set the table with candles, and play romantic music. Then we’d dance a little for fun, eat chocolate covered strawberries together, and then end the night with some romantic sex. I’d even wear some new lingerie to make it special for the both of us.

Nope I have never participated in that, it's just another day and it's bullshit, I won't show my love on just one fucking day
Yeah well I do celebrate my mom but she does get gifts through the whole year and I do get her flowers every month tho
But what I was saying is, I don't need just one planned day where I "HAVE" to show my affection and love to someone
All the women at work are asking each other "oh, what are you doing for Valentine's Day?" Like it's some big thing for them. I view it more for single people who want to show someone that are interested, not for people who have been married for a hundred years.
It feels very competitive between women to me. I'm not sure what it feeds in them. Maybe I am just a miserable unromantic cow.
To everyone who falls into the hype and keeps Hallmark, candy, and flower shops in business, all I can say is. . .
Eh... probably? My husband and I usually acknowledge it somehow but we don't ever do much.
Someone would have to remind me it's Valentine's Day. Guys have it easy with me - I even forget my own birthday sometimes, so it's not gonna be the dude who forgets the anniversary.
Valentine's Day doesn't really matter to me though. But I'm always impressed by people who give me chocolates.
No. I was raised more around the Chinese side of my family, who doesn't celebrate Valentines Day, and my girlfriend is also Chinese, so we don't celebrate Valentines Day. However, I must admit that I still use it as an excuse to do nice things for her...
And I think I should mention that we do celebrate the Chinese equivalent to the western Valentines Day, so there's that.
Not by eating candy, but it's a happy day when so many people celebrate love and romance on the same day. I like it better than Halloween (a day dedicated strictly to getting candy).
I might buy some 1/2 off V-day candy the day after for myself. So only if that counts. Lol
The next day is the real holiday. Discounted goodies!
Honestly when you are with someone you should love them everyday not one day a year because some holidays says to.
Well if you celebrate a few days after you can get all the discounts
Nah, I can buy myself red roses in other 364 days in year.
Eh might order a pizza since a pizza place is giving out free sex toys with every delivery
I will! Except I will be working to please the couples who want to drop loads of cash on their wife and getting paid for it.
Well I mean that’s one way to put it. I’ll be having a galentines day lol.
Short answer: No.
Factoid:
Count yourself lucky you don't live in Japan, or you'd have to spring more money for White Day, in which you reciprocate the gifts your Valentine gives you...
No and as a Real Christian, I don't celebrate the unbiblical holiday Christmas either. If I did celebrate Thanksgiving, I won't be eating turkeys, chicken or anything else with eyes or ears.
I make money off it by baking and tons of orders but I won’t be participating myself
can't we have a fun thing without people having a fuss? 🙄
well if you can find me a date before Sunday i say sure i will do it. but if not i guess i am staying in this year.
I'll be cooking her a meal and spending time with eachother but I'm not pandering to the whims of commercial enterprise.
Should i feel bad doing something to my woman on the day when everybody does it?
I also like to eat and have sex everyday. Kind of popular trillion dollar industries too.
We will go motocrossing, her first time.
Not unless the industry sends me a check to cover it, and even then, I'll do it my way.
I’m just gonna go dancing hahah XD if that even counts
Men don’t like me, so no, I’m not gonna be celebrating Valentine’s Day.
only sexy women deserve to be loved and have a man in their life
Every woman deserved to be loved, even if she was an actual @Hermitess OK? OK.
Yeah I love candy and flowers. The money is a drop in the bucket, or should be enough to make them a cum dumpster that night.
I bought candy and a gift card to a nice restaurant as well as a nice valentine. I am going to get a balloon too.
m nope... but I will, on the one from previous day... the Super Bowl
Yes and no. We’ll make it a special night but nothing expensive or extravagant. Not our styles.
I support my local retailer. A half dozen red roses are enough.
Only if I'm the one receiving the billions of dollars. Otherwise I have no use of that particular holiday.
Yes 😊I buy chocolate for all my friends and parents for VDay.
Nope, single AF and not really looking to change that right now
If by participating you mean getting my slice then sure but romantically no
Women are Queens so everyday is Valentine's Day, however, February 14 is just a commercial endeavor to boost capitalist egos and thus a product of patriarchal values.
I’ll get my mom something. I’ll give one of my fwbs a kielbasa.
If anything I sells cards and candy as the Producer.
More Like opportunist.
Going on a trip next week with the only woman I'd give Vday gift to and saving our money for that.
Dumbs idea ever. To express love one day out of the year. No different then Mothers day or Fathers day.
Yassss! I love all holidays!
I wish I could find someone I like.
Now THAT is a good & honest answer! Me too sweetie, me too.
HELL YEAH I WANT SOME CHOCOLATE
Its only a few million. Nowhere near billion
Nothing being spent here this year.
Nope, don't have anybody to share it with
Nope, I don't meet the prerequisites.
I need a incentive
That would be a hard no
Yes.
I bought Sparkling Wine already
Only on day after candy.
nope
Nope forever alone
Nope I has forgotten
yes and im single.
İ dont
i wish
No, never!
Maybe we shall see
