You know, I've spent many years where I've been single on valentines day. I've always felt that people who love each other don't need to have valentines day just to show their love.

I'd like to point out that those of us who do choose to do something special on that particular day are not suggesting that it's the only day they do special things for their lover.

Also, not everything people do on valentines day in order to do so costs a lot of money. For one thing, I don't think I've ever bought a valentines card, but that's just me. I'm sure it's different for everyone.
