Whether you love or hate Valentine’s Day might depend on whether or not you’re in a relationship. But even a happy couple might decide not to make a big deal out of the holiday. They might prefer to be romantic in other ways, instead of going all out on Valentine’s Day.

Yes, I usually spend the Valentine’s Day at home listening romantic songs, watching a movie and eating popcorn. I agree that Valentine’s Day is too commercial.

In the past a Valentine’s Day was something special for me. I used to be excited and preparing something for my boyfriend on that day. Now I’m not in relationship but surely I would be doing the same for my sweetie with the diffrence that I wouldn’t consider  this day exceptionally.  I mean, I wouldn’t like my boyfriend to feel exceptionally only in this day.


I agree, Valentine’s Day is commercial as like every holiday but it’s up to us how we celebrate it.

Yes, I think Valentine’s Day is too commercial. However I find no harm in celebrating it. Little gifts, flowers, candles and delicious dinner is all you need!

On 14th of Feburary I will be working, cause it’s a common tuesday, not a holyday or day off. Cool Maybe I’ll tell all my closest friends and others that I truely love them and very happy that I have them in my life. Why not? In any other day saing something like this sounds rather strange for me, but you need to say to people you love about these feelings. No matter whether there’s only one person or a lot of them. Smile

I don’t know what I and my sweety are going to do next Tuesday. We’ve not decided yet. I might cook something for him or going together to a restaurant, but as Amy and Jason I also think that it is a very commercial day and what it’s really important in a relationship is not giving gifts on Valentine’s day but loving your partner every day.
