How important is valentines day for you?
86714
Spending time with the ones that matter most (family, boyfriend, best friends, etc) is what V-day is to me... I prefer to get creative with gifts. Its better than going broke trying to purchase things that will eventually be forgotten... not to mention leave higher expectations for the next gift.

I think it would be more romantic to get married on a day that has personal significance to a couple, instead of a day that is more generally symbolic like V-Day. Plus, if you marry on a day that you both find super special (like the day you met or the first day you both kissed), you get an extra present! LOL. You miss out on a V-Day gift if your anniversary is the same day!!!

I believe that Valentines Day is, and should remain, for both sexes. It is a day that represents your love for eachother, one special day that was meant in celebration of ONLY eachother. Not just female, or just male.  I think that the day has become more of a female obsession because it is the one day that represents what they wish EVERYDAY could be like.  Its a day about what generally is most important to them, and that would be their man. We can only hope that our men will parallel our feelings everyday about how much they love us, but our day does come once a year. We will always love our men everyday, but sometimes we are, and you are so busy that its hard to devote every minute to telling eachother how we feel, or showing them.  I believe that Valentines day is the one exception, it is a day reserved for both of us to SHARE our love.\n\nAnd no offense to you, but males need more help buying gifts than women do.  Those advertisements were made BY women FOR men.  We're only reminding you to not forget. Plus women will remember to think ahead and get gifts maybe even a month before the big day.  We know you men wait until the last minute. Plus, if its not presents, theres always one sure way to please a man.  Women, unfortunately need more reassurance of your love, and most women are extremely materialistic.   \nIf your woman is not, get out your paper and glue stick, a paper card drwawn and written by you will mean 100 times more, and itll save you money.  But make sure it doesnt look like you forgot and had to throw something together last minute, spend at least a good half hour on it.

Nothing special as my hubby and I don't believe we need a special day to show our love to one another. Or a commericial reason to buy something. It is actually our rule to not buy flowers during the months of Feb and May as they jump the price so much as to make it ridiculous..Why does everyone have to have a special day to say I Love You! Should not this be done daily in a relationship? This is a day to make those with no partner feel alone and I think it is so sad to see so many feel like that because so many fall for commericial bulllll.

i have always thought of Easter as more important.  Jesus was tempted and because he WAS man, he could've NOT died on the cross for our sins.  However, He chose to do so and showed us His ultimate love and sacrifice through it.  I always look at Easter as a more important and more reverant holiday than Christmas.  I love Christmas and enjoy the festivities with a smile, but Easter always brings a certain solemness at first (usually on Good Friday) and then a joyful ending on Easter Sunday - since He rose and is now alive in Heaven.\n\nGood question!

Not necessarily.  Most people buy valentine's day gifts becasue they feel obligated to.  You can tell how much he cares by how he treats you every other day.

People make to much of Valentine's Day. It's just another day of the week. There shouldn't be a certain day to make someone buy the person they love something. It just makes them feel guilty so they do. If you truely love someone you shouldn't have to have a certain day to show it, just SHOW IT!! My husband & I will do the same thing we do eveyday , wake up, thank the Lord for those you love & all you have!

i had the sweetest day of my life...\n\nmy boyf and i didnt plan anything for V-day because we both had work and we had conflicting schedules...(i go home 6am he goes to work 7am, i leave for work 8pm he arrives from work 6pm) so I wasn't really expecting anything...\n\nBut when it's time for me to go home from work (6am feb.14), some of my officemates were already teasing that a guy is waiting for someone outside and i said "no he's not my boyf" because I wasn't really expecting him but when I went outside there he was waiting for me with a big smile and as I was walking towards him...guess what?!! I didn't see this one coming...he handed me a bouquet of pink roses (a really nice one) and my officemates were like, "oh my gawd! he's so sweet"...\n\nI was very surprised and very touched. I felt very special that moment. Then we just had breakfast at his house then off we went to our different destinations...\n\nI love my man!! :)

I use to think it was more important to have others know i love them.  Now i think that both are equally important.  We all want to love and be loved.  Relationships depend on a healthy ballence of each, or someone will feel neglected, or feel like they are giving more than they are getting.

Woman's input:\nValentines Day is good but the day before is more Romantic.  Then you have the present: flowers, candy, etc. the next day to further say it all over again.  Real clincher.

I always felt like it's one of those man made "holidays" (some people actually consider it a holiday) it makes people spend their money on presents, reastaurants, flowers, balloons, or whatever so who truly benefits from valentines day?. Love should be express on a daily basis, every day should be as special .

Send as many valentines or E-cards to others you know especially if they have been in your position. It will make them feel good. In return you will get many back too and that will make you feel good too. And who knows? There may be a secret admirer hidden in there you weren't aware of. Oh yes, if you realy feel the need to..send him one too. Do what ever your heart tells you. And have a happy Valentines Day!

It depends.  It is an individual thing.  Its all in the mind.  You can make the most out of the situation or choose to be miserable no matter what day it is christmas or valentines.

i feel like valentine day is not fair. i have always had someone to share it with, but i always feel like the day is very depressing for those single people. you have a good point ---- to love everyone and not just your companion. i feel guilty when i have a valentine and some of my friends don't. they shoul make a singles day. haha
