I've only once had a partner over Valentine's Day. I have this amazing habit, of having relationships (because they have all been under a year) in winter.
But once, 10 years ago I had just started going out with this guy (the "relationship" only lasted a month in total) and Valentine's Day came around. I was in a panic. What to get him that wasn't too serious. I remember quizzing the bookshop woman over Valentine's Day etiquette for new relationships, and I ended up going with a card, and some chocolates. Nothing too serious. I'm glad I didn't fork out heaps of money. He ended up being a bit of a loser.
But seriously, all the commercialism surrounding Valentine's Day makes me feel lucky that I have never had all this pressure to buy really expensive roses. It seems like quite a lot and people expect something on this one day? Shouldn't we be nice to our partners all year round?
Anyway, maybe I would like Valentine's Day if I had someone to share it with. Maybe I'm just bitter. It's highly possible.

I've never celebrated Valentines Day, so don't think that all of us with partners buy roses and chocs etc!
In fact, most of my friends don't do anything on Valentines Day at all.
