he first recorded association of St. Valentine's Day with romantic love was in the 14th century in England and France, where ****February 14 was traditionally the day on which birds paired off to mate.**** This belief is mentioned in Geoffrey Chaucer's Parlement of Foules (1381)\n\nIn the following century, one of John Lydgate's minor poems is "A balade made..in wyse of chesing loues at Saint Valentynes day" which indicates that the manner of choosing was drawing lots. By the 17th century a valentine was extended to the gift given, some pretty token.\n\nIt was common during that era for lovers to exchange notes on this day and to call each other their "Valentines". A 14th century valentine is said to be in the collection of the British Library. It is probable that many of the legends about St. Valentine were invented during this period.

Valentine's Day is a celebration of love associated with St. valentine.  It a holiday now trivialized by cards, chocolates, and gifts.  The original message is still carried over as union of two people.  As for your personal views, the commecilization of the holiday puts soo much emphasis on being with someone.  No you shouldn't change your attitude to mix in with the common view some people share.

Your past questions have been about Arabs and Muslims.  The celebration of Valentines is against the practices of Islam.\n\nBut to answer your question.  As a general rule, never give a woman anything that plugs into a wall socket.  A gift must require thought.  Flowers and a card ARE expected.  The little something extra must be something that you know she wants and that she has hinted about over the past month.    Good luck with it man.

If it's midnight or later on the 14th, it's Valentine's Day. \n\n(I suggest you invest in a clock and a calendar.)

You could get them all valentines, the cards that have messages on them.  Then you could also give them some of those disgusting candy hearts that say "Be Mine" and "True Love" and stuff like that.

valentine:\n<[After saint Valentine] \nWord History: Lovers and the greeting card industry may have Geoffrey Chaucer to thank for the holiday that warms the coldest month. Although reference books abound with mentions of Roman festivals from which Valentine's Day may derive, Jack B. Oruch has shown that no evidence supports these connections and that Chaucer was probably the first to link the saint's day with the custom of choosing sweethearts. No such link has been found before the writings of Chaucer and several literary contemporaries who also mention it, but after them the association becomes widespread. It seems likely that Chaucer, the most imaginative of the group, invented it. The fullest and perhaps earliest description of the Valentine's Day tradition occurs in Chaucer's Parlement of Foules, composed around 1380, which takes place “on Seynt Valentynes day,/Whan every foul cometh there to chese [choose] his make [mate].”

doing 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\nDon't spend a lot of money. Hope this helps you. Have fun!

Send as many valentines or E-cards to others you know especially if they have been in your position. It will make them feel good. In return you will get many back too and that will make you feel good too. And who knows? There may be a secret admirer hidden in there you weren't aware of. Oh yes, if you realy feel the need to..send him one too. Do what ever your heart tells you. And have a happy Valentines Day!
