I had a conversation with a man (now my ex) who thinks that Valentines' Day is just a day...and never need to acknowledge the day to a love. What do you think??

I couldn't vote since "yes" was not an option. Yes, I think it's fine to ignore Valentine's Day...it's a holiday started by the florists and driven by them and the card companies. To me, it's not even a real holiday, and only makes those who are single feel worse about it every year.

A special day to celebrate your love? An anniversary...first contact that started the relationship, first date, wedding anniversary, whatever. Or, celebrate it every day in some way. Always let your partner know that they are special and you're thinking of them...or at least do it often through the year, not just on some day each year that the media tells you to do it.

Sorry...I just don't feel that this one is that important.

There is a reason that Valentines Day's initials are VD.

This year was the first time in nine years I've celebrated Valentine's Day. I never had anyone special to share it with, so it was kinda depressing to acknowledge it. I just ignored it until this year.

Yes, that too. But seeing everyone who is single this year suffer so much this past weekend because it was even more painful for them...that was hard. Romance in a relationship should be a part of every day, and in the simple things.

I know a couple that has been married for 5 years now, and he still calls her "girlfriend"...and I think that's sweet. They don't touch often when people are there (I don't know about when we're not), but the looks between them tell it all, along with that simple endearment.

Well, I think it might be best to take the opportunity on Valentine's Day to celebrate love than ignore it simply because it teaches us to reach out of ourselves and what we're going through.

women really make too much of Valentines. Do it or don't. Don't make a big deal about it. Celebrate May Day instead
