"Valentines Day."

Is it:

A). The perfect time of year to show your love to someone, wether you're in a relationship or not.

B). A complete marketing rip-off designed to make you spend lots of money.

C). Something that only people in relationships need to worry about.



Discuss.

I was driving to Worcester yesterday with the intention of dropping my (ex) missus off at my parent's house while I popped into town to by her a token present. Unfortunately, on the way we had a big row about money and she said: "Don't bother buying me anything - I don't want anything off you!"

So ... I didn't.

I just made a card for mine, and got her a CD she's been wanting for a while. It's cool, it has some hearts on it and a picture of us, and the word "valentine" is in there somewhere. And it's better than the Gollum card I made for Christmas: "Merry Christmas, my precioussssss". Apart from that, I'm making cooking tonight and plying her with wine.

I've got a beautiful handmade Japanese painted card, picturing a geisha girl in a blue silk kimono. Looks like a watercolor painting. I've also bought a frame for it, so its can be kept as a keepsake and hung in the house.

Flowers ordered for tomorrow (not roses. Cliche), and out for a meal tomorrow night.

Now all I need to do is think up a nice message to put in the damn card, but since I've had an awful day at work, I'm really NOT in the mood.

Don't start

Discussion last week in the pub led me to getting the cold shoulder for days off my girlfriend and her friends.

I started off strong and set in my ways.

Principles = Fights and no sex
Whipped = Happiness and sex

Yep

Sounds like you're proper under the thumb there Sheepy...

Ps I hate Valentines Day

I am by far the greatest boyfriend

Roses - being delivered
Chocolates
Card in post and I'm making one
CD
Teddy thing
And a nice bag to put it in

And she's working at 3 so she's coming round and I'm making her lunch.

If you love some one just tell them, you do need to go out and buy them stuff.
And on Valentines day you feel you have to spend a load of money on your gal.

Pfft.

I think it's just a way for people to have an excuse to tell people they love them, nothing more than that. Commercialised, maybe, but it's not just for people in relationships.

And I'm sure a valentine's card isn't a way of saying "hello I want to have sex with you"

And for us lucky ones without partners, we can celebrate that we're all allowed to look at some random girl's cleavage without getting shouted at.

yay!

I'd argue with you, but I agree with you, so the argument would be a little empty...
