i feel like valentine day is not fair. i have always had someone to share it with, but i always feel like the day is very depressing for those single people. you have a good point ---- to love everyone and not just your companion. i feel guilty when i have a valentine and some of my friends don't. they shoul make a singles day. haha

Something little to let him/ her know that you love him/ her. \n\nBe creative! Valentine's day is not like Christmas where you have to give actual presents, it's about showing your love for your significant other.\n\nHere are some ideas:\n\n- Visit a local art museum alone, learn about the works with romantic themes, and bring your wife/ girlfriend/ boyfriend/ husband back for a personal tour.\n\n- Go for a mystery ride to an unannounced destination. Keep your husband/ wife/ girlfriend/ boyfriend guessing until you arrive at a favorite beach, ice cream palour, restaurant, theater, sport game, coffee shop, or ice skating/ roller skating rink, etc.\n\n- Fill his/ her whole bedroom closet, garage, coat closet, car, drawer, bathroom cabinet, linen closet, etc. with balloons.\n\n- Woman:  Dress up & act ladylike.  Be polite & appreciate what the man is doing for you.  \n\n- Men:  Act like a real gentleman.  Open the door for her.  Help her with her coat.  Open her car door for her.  Dress nice.  Be on your best behavior.  Smile at her while looking in her eyes.  Tell her how special she is to you & why.\n\nDon't spend a lot of money. Hope this helps you. Have fun!

I've always loved the time-frame that spans from right before Thanksgiving to Valentine's Day.  You've got several holidays in there...special times when people stop & realize that Love is a *verb* & treat each other accordingly.  :)  But, thanks to my fiancee & his 5 little girls, CHRISTmastime has become more special than I ever thought possible!

Love is expressed through actions not words- treat him with respect and trust.  Take an interest in the things he likes to do, and plan an activity around it.  Since I don't know you, I can't really give specific suggestions.

ehh dont feel like you have to.. its only if your wanting to spend time with a certain someone. dont feel pressured, and dont feel bad if the case is that you just dont have someone that you would like to spend that time with. valentines day has a way of getting people all flustered for nothing.

St. Valentine's Day falls on February 14, and is the traditional day on which lovers in certain cultures let each other know about their love, commonly by sending Valentine's cards, which are often anonymous. The history of Valentine's day can be traced back to a Catholic Church feast day, in honor of Saint Valentine. The day's associations with romantic love arrived after the High Middle Ages, during which the concept of romantic love was formulated.\n\nThe day is now most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines." Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, the practice of hand writing notes has largely given way to the exchange of mass-produced greeting cards. The Greeting Card Association estimates that, world-wide, approximately one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association also estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.

Nothing special as my hubby and I don't believe we need a special day to show our love to one another. Or a commericial reason to buy something. It is actually our rule to not buy flowers during the months of Feb and May as they jump the price so much as to make it ridiculous..Why does everyone have to have a special day to say I Love You! Should not this be done daily in a relationship? This is a day to make those with no partner feel alone and I think it is so sad to see so many feel like that because so many fall for commericial bulllll.

It depends.  It is an individual thing.  Its all in the mind.  You can make the most out of the situation or choose to be miserable no matter what day it is christmas or valentines.

I believe that Valentines Day is, and should remain, for both sexes. It is a day that represents your love for eachother, one special day that was meant in celebration of ONLY eachother. Not just female, or just male.  I think that the day has become more of a female obsession because it is the one day that represents what they wish EVERYDAY could be like.  Its a day about what generally is most important to them, and that would be their man. We can only hope that our men will parallel our feelings everyday about how much they love us, but our day does come once a year. We will always love our men everyday, but sometimes we are, and you are so busy that its hard to devote every minute to telling eachother how we feel, or showing them.  I believe that Valentines day is the one exception, it is a day reserved for both of us to SHARE our love.\n\nAnd no offense to you, but males need more help buying gifts than women do.  Those advertisements were made BY women FOR men.  We're only reminding you to not forget. Plus women will remember to think ahead and get gifts maybe even a month before the big day.  We know you men wait until the last minute. Plus, if its not presents, theres always one sure way to please a man.  Women, unfortunately need more reassurance of your love, and most women are extremely materialistic.   \nIf your woman is not, get out your paper and glue stick, a paper card drwawn and written by you will mean 100 times more, and itll save you money.  But make sure it doesnt look like you forgot and had to throw something together last minute, spend at least a good half hour on it.

I don't like Valentines Day, It usually reminds me of what I don't have.  Plus the people who really are in love it shouldn't matter to because wouldn't it be Valentines Day every day.
