Lovelyish

I think its totally overrated. 

i love valentines day

@AyshrenS@xanga - yesssssssss  lol

hahhaha no

As of today, I’m loving it and I’m single. Ironic, but true. I’m having a party where all my friends and I are going to celebrate the fact that we love each other! I thought it would be better to have a someone on that day but then when I read your point about the big bucks I totally agree! Anyway, its better to not be tied down (at least for me!) then maybe I can find another (or more!) cute and solo someone on that day!

I love it…. most years.  But this year my husband is away, so I’m not a huge fan.  

And I’m not a huge fan of his family members who send sappy cards about how freaking happy they’ve found their Valentine and all the time they’re spending with them…. um, yes, way to be a jerk.

I think it’s a hallmark holiday. Completely hate it.

I’m not into it.

I hate it and don’t celebrate it.

It’s filled with horrible memories of it being a popularity contest and proof of worth.

Every day should be V-Day, you should always be showing people you love them! I think that every couple or family or people who care about each other need to make their own V-Day. I don’t like the idea of a set day where its not really surprising.

Also my aunt died on V-Day 1998 so I’d rather celebrate her life and mourn a little bit.

@to_be_perfect1@xanga - perfect idea!!!!

I don’t celebrate it. Since I am not christian and it is a christian based holiday (even though its been commercialized.) It doesn’t seem right to celebrate something that doesn’t go along with my religion. But I have no qualms for others to enjoy it. Hey, who doesn’t like extreme amounts of chocolate! =)

I hated it last month ’cause I was a bit bitter of not having a special someone who’ll spend it with me. But then, one xanga made me appreciate it. ) I love how she suggested that I’d rather spend it with my friends. So yeah, me and my friends are going to ride the hot air balloon this Sunday and I bet it’ll be so much fun!

Whoever hates Valentine’s day has a poor boyfriend, or no boyfriend.

It’s easy to love it or hate it depending on one’s relationship status, but regardless of that, the excessive hype does get pretty annoying.

love it, with or without a boyfriend. who doesn’t love a holiday???

It’s just another day! Except people spend a few buck on it.

I love valentines day

I think it’s silly –due solely to the fact that it’s too manufactured.

Romance should be spontaneous, not pre-determined by a calendar date.

Personally, I have always liked it.  I think it’s very nice to have a day solely devoted to the celebration of love and happiness.  Do I like all the cliches that come with it? No, but I know some friends who do, and who am I to rain on their parade?  

I like V-day!  I’ve had a boyfriend for the last 5 though…
If you don’t look at it as a holiday that highlights your shortcomings or the shortcomings of others (if you’re single.  And I’m not saying that people that are single have shortcomings!  I’m talking about how they might view themselves) then you shouldn’t hate it.

If you’re pressuring your boyfriend to do something super special/costly for V-day, then you’re probably not being the best of girlfriends.

I always used V-day as an excuse to get dressed up, take pictures, and eat dinner.  Have to find an opportunity to wear all my little cocktail dresses now that I don’t have any formals/semi-formals to attend  -__-

I’ve always been single for Valentines day, but I love it anyway.  For some reason, I think the red roses, sweetheart candy, cheesy cards and pink overkill are endearing.  Definitely one of my favorite holidays.

Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with valentines day. I don’t like it because I don’t have a boyfriend I can spend it with, but I love it because I’m not the only one without a bf on that day and other people buy me candy!

I don’t care it doesn’t bother me, it’s just another day.

I think it’s overrated… But I still have to go out and find something for my boyfriend.
But really, I’ve always just loved getting wasted with my girlfriends on Valentine’s Day…

I like it, but my husband hates it, lol.

mm does it matter? its all in the spirit ! (just dont over do it x.x)

i’ve always liked valentine’s day…but i always give presents to several people in my life, so it’s never mattered if i had a SO or not. V-day originally wasn’t supposed to be just for lovers, and I hate hallmark, so i’ll go more with the original spirit of Saint Valentine.

plus, now it’s an excuse to buy my boyfriend presents! (he makes a lot more $$ then me, so i’m not usually allowed to buy him stuff…)

I neither love it or hate it…I never got into it.

I’m apathetic towards it. Valentine’s Day is, more importantly, my mother’s birthday, so I always look forward to buying her a gift she’ll really appreciate. Usually it’s some type of cooking appliance. That means more food for me in the near future

When you have an SO, Valentine’s Day is more significant, I suppose. But to me, everyday should be Valentine’s Day.

i’m indifferent.  i don’t have an SO so i really don’t care either way.  i do like all of the hearts and pink and red all over.  i know it’s a hallmark holiday, and most people make way too big a deal out of it, but it’s still fun nonetheless.  i’m making cupcakes for it =] but i think the people who are completely against it need to get a grip.  just because you don’t have someone to spend it with, doesn’t mean you have to boycott it completely.  

I’ve never cared much for Valentine’s Day, even when I’ve been in a relationship.  Honestly, it’s just another day to me.  

invented by the candy company.

I love Valentine’s Day!

I don’t mind it…

i hate it =|

I love it. I’ve only ever had a boyfriend during one Valentine’s Day, but, honestly, I like my single V-days much better.

I think it is the perfect excuse to make sure all of my friends and family know how much I love them, because I certainly don’t tell them often enough. I know I should, but I’m human, so I’m very glad there is a day devoted to love, any kind of love. I make homemade cards for everyone(it definitely doesn’t have to cost a fortune) and usually get a single flower for each of my friends.

Also, I use it as a reminder of God’s INSANE love for me : D

it’s an excuse for my boyfriend and i to do what we normally do? lol.

I’m kinda uspet cause this will be the third year in a row that I’ve had someone and won’t be able to spend it with them, but this year it’s a legitimate reason. He won’t be in town. Or in the same state for that matter. But we’re giving each other our presents friday at school. I’ve always loved valentine’s day because it’s the one time a year that I get the chance to show everyone that I’m not a completely sadistic bitch and that I do have a bit of a soft side, but at the same time I’ve always hated it cause I’ve always been single.The past 2 years I’ve had a boyfriend, but neither of them really put forth much effort when I spent like over a week making presents for both of them. This year I’ve got another boyfriend, but unlike the last 2 years he’s making me something as well and I’m sure that it’s gonna be great. So something tells me that Valentine’s day from now on will be a good holiday.

Don’t love it, don’t hate it; just don’t care about it. I show my love everyday and not just for one stupid holiday.

I love it…have always loved it…single or taken.  Love it.  Let’s love each other!

really apathetic but im in a somewhat of a complicated relationship..and vday seems to make it more tricky…

I’ll tell you why I like it.

I don’t like that people spend so much money and make “a day” specifically for love that should be every day…but I love that everyone buys flowers and that I am the one who gets to make beautiful flower arrangements for them to make someone happy, haha! I loooooooooooove making arrangements and wish people would keep me busy like this everyday.

And last year I had my very first Valentine…and yeah, I lost him a few months ago, but ironically, exactly a year later I’m falling in love with someone new and it juuuuuuuuuuuust happens to be around Valentine’s Day.

love it

I’ve never been single for valentine’s day

i like it.

valentine’s day makes me nauseous regardless if i’m single or with someone.

Indifferent.

hate it. I don’t even know why it’s considered a holiday.

I love Valentine’s Day.  Sure, people say that it’s a corporate marketing device to sell candy and cards and yeah, maybe it is.  But the truth is, people don’t take enough time to tell the other people in their lives how much they love them.  Some people may say, “Oh, we don’t need the special day to tell people that, we should tell them all the time.”  But most people don’t tell them all the time.  For all the other days of the year, love is taken for granted.  But on this one special day, you can let anyone know how you feel about them.  Yeah, it kind of sucks that in my almost nineteen years of life I have never had anyone to share this day with, but I know that when I do, I’ll make them feel so special.

Don’t hate it, don’t like it. Just see it as unnecessary, to be honest. It was created by a card company for Christ’s sake!

eh, it’s whatevs. i’m just happy for that 3 day weekend! woot.

I never celebrate anything just because somebody else said to.  My wife and I got engaged on Feb. 14, because that’s how it worked out.  Most Valentine’s Days, we do something fun, if we feel like it.  The same goes for New Year’s Eve, July 4, our anniversary and either of our birthdays.
Regimented holidays suck.  Make each day your own!

not a big fan of it.
