- Because you know everyone has their own opinions and all.
Do you know how people really feel about Valentine’s Day? If anything, I’m sure you have your own opinions about it.
The real trick is to be mature enough with your SO to celebrate it the weekend(s) before or after whatever is “Valentine’s Weekend” (which this year is next weekend). Like, there’s a good chance our favorite restaurant will have way more tables and there won’t be any over-priced valentines specials we may feel obligated to get. Celebrating it on the day itself seems super important when you’re first dating, but after time you don’t need a specific day to tell you to go out and you should have no issues celebrating it (because it’s still fun to have a reason to go out!) at a different time.
It’s my favorite day to eat REESE HEARTS mmmm.
Single woman here – honestly, I’ve grown to appreciate Valentine’s Day more since I started treating it as self-love day. I buy myself fancy chocolate, take a bubble bath, and watch my favorite movies. Way better than stressing about whether someone’s gonna buy me flowers.
It is good for the lucky ones and a disgrace for those who are not so lucky or feel bad when they are alone. Did you know that this is how some people feel about Valentine’s Day?
I think it’s underrated. I love this holiday! Though I’ve been single for the past few years, people in my life make me feel incredibly special and loved on this day. I think the enthusiasm is contagious.
I understand how some people get annoyed by the commercialization and overconsumption of it, and I understand how some people think it’s fake nothingness to bother people, but I personally have been married for 5 years
and so in love for 8 and I sincerely love the opportunity to give my wife a gift an extra time a year. I love giving her surprises and treating her well, but it’s nice to have this extra day as a designated gift giving day and time to reflect and be so happy I’m with her.
My thoughts are threefold. 1:it’s awesome when you have someone to celebrate with. 2:it sucks when you’re single. 3:it’s too commercialized. Did you know that this is how some people feel about Valentine’s Day?
Fortunately in the culture I grew up in it’s branded as a Friend Day. You remind your friends that you care and think about them. If you happen to have a romantic partner you might do something special together but I personally love giving and receiving “friend day” greetings.
I know that’s it’s just a random holiday but I adore the aesthetics of it. I love to
give my friends and partner gifts all the time but a valentine is much prettier. I love anything red or heart shaped. Did you know that this is how some people feel about Valentine’s Day?
Complete apathy. If it wasn’t for the fact that my girlfriend loves it, I’d ignore. But hey, it’s not a hill worth dying on since I honestly don’t even feel that strongly, so it’s easy to deal with it for someone I love.
It’s fine. It’s “cute”. I buy my mom and aunt flowers and chocolates every year. My partner gets something of their choosing and dinner.
