"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.

All of them? That's just greedy!

I have to say it has become a marketing mans dream. Why should we need a special day to tell our partner we love them? I could get her flowers and chocolates all through the year, but if I don't on valentines day, then she's not happy. I don't mean my missus specifically, just women in general....

All of the above. a) Its been celebrated for centuries, but b) the marketing element is fairly recent, and c) if you don't worry about it while you are in a relationship, then you will be out of it in a short time ;)

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

Well B'ish. The fullstop is in the wrong place and the rest of the sentence should read:

if you are dumb enough to buy into it.

That wasn't one of the options.

Please re-read the question...

:-p

I hate it

I'd choose A because I'm a bit of a romantic and I'm usually not the best person to be around at this time of year (mainly because of money pressures), but Valentines Day re-assures my girlfriend that there's no-one else for me than her.
