It's that time of year again

Once again we are subjected to the yearly debacle of valentines day. I mean it's become stupid, it's become so hyped and commercialised now the real point has almost been forgotten. Its supposed to be a time for couples or new relationships. (hence part of my bitterness towards it)
From what i've observed of it - you could be the most dedicated bloke in the world and buy your partner a gift everyday - but if you forgot about valentines day -it would be assumed that you didn't care. what do you lot think? do you think it's gotten blown out of all proportion?

Its just a big con! Why should people be romantic on one day?

Okay, heres valentines day from my point of view (or a typical guy who doesn't want to get moaned at by his girl on valentines day)
The list goes on... and guess what, it would not suprise me if they made "Valentines day 2"
Valentines day is good... but only if you've got a fat wallet, or a gf who doesn't care that much about gifts (That'll be the day) or you're like me and are single this time of the year!! (I'd rather not be tho).
Not getting caught is only half the fun!!
I'm the rest!!
<IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif"> or am I being a tad optimistic on this one?
I agree with Broken Heart, its become way too comercial. I was actually coming up with that witty list hoping to be the first to post but sadly BH beat me to it.
I took ages coz I had to find my "Valentines Day joke book".
(You can stop joking now Insane, its getting boring, (wow he even talks to himself... he's mental!!))

if you take time to think of something really special, then money can hardly come into it.

Make each other cards out of anything you have laying around - it shows your creative side and that your willing to spend time and effort on the person you love (plus it's cheaper than visiting Clintons, no matter how big you make it!)
Make your own chocies, biscuits, heart shaped cakes, etc, together - you can have fun whilst doing it, it's economical, and it always ends up in a food fight that can be followed by a romantic moment when your licking the chocolate off each others noses (and perhaps elsewhere!)
Valentine's day should be about fun not about how much money you spend.
Enjoy it folks.

I had a life once, but I stopped feeding it so one day it just walked away.

i've gotta disagree i'm afraid. i think valentines still is the most romantic day of the year, you just have to make it that way. its like christmas - that is only totally over hyped if you make it that way. it can still be special.
only thing is i don't have anyone to share valentines with this year... oh well.... <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif">
i'm not denying that women are stupid; God made us to match the men.
actually i was talkin to luka bout it, and we said that it had become way to commercialised, its just all big companies cashing in.
It's only special if ur in a relationship! (then it has a meaning)
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
But why should it be just that day your romantic? There are more important days you can be romantic: each partners birthday so you both get a turn and your anniversary whether it be a month or a year.
People who don't have a velentine feel left out and upset! Some more than others

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
