What's Your Opinions Of Valentines Day?

[moonbyu]

hey. i'm doing a essay for class (yes, i'm such a perfect student, i know uwu) and i need some people's input on what they think of valentines day. so far, i've gotten mostly positive answers. (probs cuz they aren't single like meee) i wanted to see if its different here.

so when it comes to valentines day, are you cupid incarnate or the person who's just in it for the valentines day snacks? (like me )

 

[Stella-Io]

Snacks (and stuffed animals).

I never celebrated a Valentines with a partner so I was always single. I might buy my friends gifts for Valentines this year (even thou most are in some sort of relationship but oh well friend candy is nice). When I was younger I didn't like Valentines, I didn't like seeing all the couples with huge balloons and flowers, it made me feel lonely.

So when Valentines comes around each year I buy myself a new stuffed animal, buy my friends friendship candy and eat some sweets.

Don’t really like the idea of it to be honest, but if other people want to enjoy it then by all means. I go with the motto that if you’re in a relationship and really actually love someone, every day should be “Valentine’s Day” for you and them.

In Finland Valentine's day is called "friends day" / "day of friends" and you celebrate friendship, I think that it's a much nicer holiday than lover's "Valentine's Day". (Obviously you can still celebrate with your partner.)

 

[MapleSilver]

I kind of forget it's a thing. I don't have a significant other, and it's not like the holiday existing suddenly makes me wish for one.

 

[Shellzilla_515]

I just treat valentine's day as if it was a regular day. I don't even have a relationship to begin with. Also, what's the big deal of cupids anyway?

 

[LadyDestani]

I'm in a relationship, but I honestly don't make a huge deal out of it. My husband and I sort of celebrate, by which I mean we wish each other a Happy Valentine's Day and we may get each other something small, but that's it. We don't go out to eat that day because the restaurants are a mad-house. I'm not into balloons and flowers because I think they're just a waste of money. Candy and plushies are just fine with me, though.

So it's mostly a day like any other, but we do acknowledge the holiday a little bit.

At home Valentine's Day was for children. My mom gave us candies, baked a chocolate cake and let us watch Disney. Not sure I even celebrate Valentine's day as an adult, my boyfriend and I were always working that day, sometimes we were buying chocolate on sale the day after. When I look around at my friends, I think it's most stressing than anything else, the single ones are feeling miserable and crying over their loneliness, the ones dating are getting mad over their significant other for forgetting, being cheap, not getting what they wanted etc. Or are the ones in trouble for forgetting, being poor, not knowing what to give...etc. There is always some drama around me that day.

Now that I'm single, Valentine's Day for me is just like what it was in my childhood, I'm buy myself gummies and cinnamon hearts and watch anime all evening.

Honestly my favorite part of Valentine's Day is looking at all the ADORABLE stuffed animals!!!

I also love when it ends and all the stores discount their stuff to get rid of it

 

[seliph]

imo it's just a day that many people get bitter about which is weird to me considering how avoidable it all is, if people are gonna be mad at valentine's day it should be about how everyone hikes up the price of chocolates

 

[Snowesque]

Neither love it or hate it; it is just kinda there for me. My partner and myself might order some higher-grade chocolate online for the fun of it. I am trying to cut back on the treats, so I do not really take advantage of the day after sales to stock up.

I can understand when people think that it is useless, or people are sad about the day, because they don't have a partner (yet),
but.. first of all, if you don't have a partner, just use the Valentinesday for the best friends, father, mother, etc.. after all the day
is to show someone you love that you appreciate them, which I find a great idea.
I'm always getting something small for my boyfriend for Valentinesday, and him he gives something to me, so we are pretty
much "doing" the Valentinesday, but we wouldn't be bothered if it wasn't excisting.
So.. what I want to say: It's nice to have special items made for that day, to show extra love to someone you love, no matter
if the person is your significant other, your best friend, your brother, your mother, etc. And if you don't like it: I can understand,
but let people enjoy their Valentinesday, they don't hurt anyone with it!

I've been in relationships where we've done something big for the day, but my current one, it isn't necessary. The last few years have skewed more toward galentine's day with my girlfriend, which is a lot of fun.

Pretty much commercial stuff and that people are supposed to be in a relationship? I dunno, just care for each other every day instead and buy chocolate for a surprise any day as well, no need to restrict it to one day. (of course you can do it i'm just p annoyed by all these shopping days)

My thoughts exactly. Why restrict it to one day when you can surprise your partner literally any day of the year? If you really love someone you should treat them well all the time, not just one day of the year. And yeah, I agree that it’s pretty much just another annoying shopping day and a reason for stores to hike up their prices.

Well, if that day is the only day you show love towards your partner, then you're doing something wrong.
I never saw any price changes on any items over where I live, I just see special items that are available
only for that day, but they are not really having any specifically high price.

 

[Spongebob]

i dont really have an opinion on it lol. it's just another day for me, it's weird how mad people get at it tho. this year's valentines day is gonna be the best one yet because we got the sonic movie comin out baybeeeeeee

 

[Mink777]

I don’t see anything wrong with it, and it is annoying to see people constantly complaining about it annually because of jealousy.

Restrict? xD It's just an excuse to do something special, or do something cute together or whatever. You seem to have a little bit weird of a concept of Valentine's Day? xD Every day just can't be "special", that's physically impossible in everyday life and contradicts the meaning of special.

And yeah Valentine's Day is commercialized as hecc.

I know that it’s a special day for people to do things together. I also didn’t mean every day HAS to be special. I just meant that if you’re in a relationship you should treat each other well all the time, not just on Valentine’s Day. Maybe my wording was off and that confused you guys. If so I apologize for that.
