I'm single and I hate Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is a day designed to make single people miserable. The only people who seem to care about single people on Valentine's day are those who are trying to make money off them.
Valentine's Day is overrated anyway. It is primarily a marketing-driven gift occasion that falls between Christmas and Easter. While this does not diminish the genuine feelings of people who do something to mark the occasion, one must not be lured into the marketing hype.
I prefer the idea of surprise gifts. Don't underestimate the value of a bunch of flowers or other romantic gifts at random times. One shouldn't have to wait until Valentine's Day to give a gift that shows your love.
