Do you like Valentine's Day?

Ditto. I love it when candy is specially made for the holidays. All that candy on sale because stores don't want to make it too obvious that they're selling old candy.

Hate it because I think it's stupid.

Its a toss between not caring about it and liking it a bit. I don't care because I think it's stupid.. and I like it a bit because it's funny laughing at the people getting all emotional about not having a partner.

I've always hated Valentine's Day, and not necessarily because I've never had a date for it. OK, it was a part of it, but the real reason appears below.

Valentine's Day seems to serve no other purpose than to separate men from their money, to spend on relationships that have a high rate of failure. It's more of a meaningless test than a true holiday. If a man doesn't buy an outrageously expensive present, he's doomed for silent treatment, sleeping on the couch, or even a break-up (which might actually be a blessing in disguise). This leads to my next question: how does buying a $500 present prove love? Isn't it the same as "if you loved me, you would sleep with me"?

I'm indifferent to it really. When I'm with someone, I'll do something for it. However, if I'm not with someone, like now, I don't really care. I have been known to use Valentine's day for a good shopping spree in order to treat myself as I don't do that very often. Thats my way of saying to myself that I don't need others to treat me, I know what my likes and dislikes are 100%. I had a very good day that day I went shopping. Can't afford to do it this year though, I also have a date with the job centre this Valentine's day, yippee!! !! !

Not quite. It's actually, "If you don't give me a $500 present, you're not getting any....ever."

It was only cool during elementary school, at least it was a day that made you feel good.

Now I think its a Hallmark invented holiday, and its only good if you have a girl/boy friend. And I am talking about "love love" not "family love" like your mom or sibling.

I think it's more like "if you're not willing to contribute to the mistreatment of enslaved African diamond miners, you don't really love her." Sorry jewelry industry, we're on to you. Every kiss does not begin with Kay.

Valentine's Day makes me depressed. I see all these girls get flowers, and it's a reminder to me how I don't have a boyfriend and probably won't get one for a very long time if ever.

Hmm well I was just watching some Invader ZIM and found this little poem by TAK to be amusing and appropriate:

For longer than I can remember
I've been looking for someone like you
Someone with a head like yours
and a torso too
Birds sing
and you're gonna PAY
THE END

Heh, yeah, as if they don't already do that every damn day. I work at a grocery store and therefore must see all these huge V-Day displays and people buying flowers. But I agree that the candy is good for the eatin'

To Valentine's day is nothing more than the 14th day of February. A day like any other. In my early teens I sometimes felt kinda awkward, but never to a degree that it depressed me.
I don't have anything against people who are enjoying the whole Valentine entourage though - if I get into a relationship, I'd have no problem doing something special with my partner if she wants to make it a special day.

For the first time EVER, I have a boyfriend on this day(GalileoAce!).
It is a shame that I will not be with him until the 18th but I still count myself as very lucky.
The 14th is also my birthday, so it is not like I am allowed to forget.

Since about half way through first grade i stopped paying attention to the date and day. So i'm not really aware of what is coming up. Overall i kind of dislike valentines day, because a lot of my friends get depressed. But the candy is yummy.

Much fun to be had by all :D

I've always liked the concept of Valentine's Day, but never had anyone to do anything with...Well I did sorta some years back, but I completley forgot about it! Oh well... I won't forget it ever again

Valentine's Day = "Let's Make Fun of All The Single People Day". A few years ago on February 14 there was a feature article the local newspaper that had, as it's focus, the notion that men who were over 30 and still single had something wrong with them... That article upset me rather more than it should have; it was done in a light-hearted tone, but some of it was mean-spirited.
