They're just flowers. It's the thought that counts anyway.....don't let flowers ruin your Valentines Day!

I know what you mean...saying "thank you" seems weird since they are not complimenting YOUR looks but his... try along with thank you saying "we think so too... " or " Yes we are very proud." or "thank you for saying so.."

The meaning of Valentine's day has basically been the same over the years...sending a message of love.  However, the history (see site below) would seem to indicate it is a message of love that says good-bye.\n\nThe Greeks have 3 words for love. 1) Eros, which is a physical, sensual love from which we get the word erotic. 2) Philos, which is a platonic, brotherly type love, from where Philadelphia (city of brotherly love) gets its name, and 3) Agape, which is the sacrificial love that Christian's use to describe God's love for the world.

I always felt like it's one of those man made "holidays" (some people actually consider it a holiday) it makes people spend their money on presents, reastaurants, flowers, balloons, or whatever so who truly benefits from valentines day?. Love should be express on a daily basis, every day should be as special .

It might be considered odd these days, particularly if you are genuine, but there's nothing wrong with it at all!  People should remember to say please and thank you, and maybe even smile.\n\nIt might be odd if you said it to a vending machine though...

Actually the valentines day is an idea for commercial businesses related with gifts, greeting cards(both online and offline), chocolates, flowers etc. and most of the other special days like fathers day, mothers day, teachers day etc. are same.\nThough I arrange something special for me & my fiance in this day. have u ever listen the word "extra care". It's a day [14 feb] to take an extra care for your beloved one... nothing so special.\nThanks.

No need to get prejudiced against guys, and no need to generalize.  Some people mentioned that guys can be confused about what love is, which happens to girls too.  Some men do it for sex, others for security.  Security?  Yep, even guys need security sometimes.  Some guys are also effeminate and value intimicay over independence.  After all, sometimes a man will love a woman, but never tell her.  That also happens.  Next time, please keep in mind that not all guys are the same.  Also, there are women that deserve a lot of respect, honesty, and equal rights; why I'm saying you shouldn't generalize is because let's not reverse the positive aspects of feminism.

Personally, I am very cautious and only say it when I mean it, because somehow it does scare most men.  In my opinion (just my opinion), some women are insecure and feel if they say that, it will show that they are giving affection to only YOU, that one special man.  Just like men, women aren't always honest and sometimes say what they think the man may want to hear or that it will benefit them in some way.

Yeah, policitically correct thing is "Happy Holidays".\nIt is more for public things like posters, websites, commercials, mass emails, etc. I seriously doubt you would get in trouble over saying Merry X-mas to a coworker.

well i'm not in a relationship but i think its better when the guy says sorry first. it make him look and feel like a man. and you then fall sweetly into his arms. men like that!

Most men don't know how to give because it doesn't mean the same thing for them as it does for you.  20 years ago I received flowers from a female friend and it has been one of the fondest memories that I can remember.\n\nWhat did you get him for Valentines?  Show him an example and he may get the picture the next time.

Yes.\n\nHolidays are days to celebrate special things and/or people.  But a valentine need not be a significant other.  It can be a child, a close friend or a family member who needs a smile. \n\nBeing single myself - I try to make it a special day for those that I care about - I will do something special with my son or for my elderly grandfather or my close friends, etc...  I don't let the day go to waste just because I don't have a significant other to dote upon.

It's probably a good sign if a guy has a hard time saying "I love you."  It could mean that he puts a lot of importance in those words.  To me, saying that means that I'm starting to permanently commit myself.  Plus, words are kind of cheap, and sometimes a simple "I love you" doesn't feel like it says it all.

I have to agree with honeybunches. I never had a valentine, so I would love to just have a girl, my girl with me on that specail day. Just being with someone you care about a lot on holiday and events is good enought.
