Do you take valentines serious ?

[chychyete]

Hi ladies just wanted to know if other women or men take Valentine's Day serious like do you love when your partners do something for you even if it's just a nice cooked meal or flowers or taking you out.

Reason asked my boyfriend said to me today why do I keep asking about what we are doing for Valentine's Day it's only a one day thing and i'm being annoying he's not interested in that and it's something he's not interested in bare in mind I don't usual get nothing for him anyway lol so I take Valentine's Day as a nice occasion that we both can do for each other as im a big gifter and feel good when I give others stuff I even get my mum something for Valentine's Day some flowers

No.
No interest. I am over 12

No- it’s a load of commercial rubbish. Just like Christmas and Easter.

It’s just to make people spend. If he’s acceptable every other day of the year, just go with it.

Nope!

I like it. It's cute and an excuse to have something nice to eat and a drink. We'll exchange cards, DP will probably get me flowers. We'll have the M&S meal deal.

We always do something - nothing huge but just make it a nice evening. We have no babysitters so we'll be home as normal but he'll cook a nice meal (I usually cook while he does bedtime) and we'll get each other a card and gift - thoughtful not £££.

I've done it it the past but over the last few years have decided against it waste of money. We will just have a nice dinner together at home

It doesn't have anything at all to do with age - that first comment was unnecessarily harsh - but no, I don't bother with it. No particular reason, I just don't think it's important.

No, we have never done anything for valentines. It isn’t something that I have ever been bothered about.

@neleh87 I find it cute to even if it's a simple dinner nice movie at home especially if your partner likes Valentine's Day it's nice to show that you care about what they like

Nope. Waste of money.

I will never understand the posts on here (and other places) where someone hasn’t received card, dinner, chocolates, champagne and flowers. It’s just a massive waste of money. It would mean more to me to be given a bunch of daffs or tulips on a random Wednesday afternoon by DH. They cost 50p from the local garage.

No. We do cards and that’s it.
I would be furious if he spent hard earned money on overpriced flowers or tat & wouldn’t be interested in going out for an overpriced valentines menu meal either.

We show we care all the time. If there is only one day when someone shows they care and that day is because of the occasion then do they really care?

I feel sorry for the postman delivering all my cards and I have to buy new vases every year for all the flower deliveries. But apart from that I'm not that fussed about it.

We don't do anything here.

It's just a commercial opportunity nowadays. If you need to be shown that your partner cares by taking you out for an overpriced meal or buying you overpriced roses then that's rather sad.

It's how they act day to day that matters.

We won’t do any ‘commercial’, but will likely get an M&S meal deal or something as we like them/eat them anyway.

We do cards (usually rude or funny ones to make each other laugh) and DH might or might not pick up some supermarket flowers if he sees some nice ones. Other than that no.

What they do the other days of the year matter much more.

We do cards, meal at home and small gift but we don't really take it seriously. It's more a thing for teens and young people.

Valentine's Day was our wedding anniversary (I think that was because he'd get some visual clue about the date). Nowadays I just look for the bargains on meal deals on the 15th 😆

DH would think I’d been replaced by a zombie if I started talking about Valentine’s Day.

I love it 🥰
Me & DH get cards & a small gift for each other and go out on a date - food & a movie usually!

As with every occasion, birthday, Xmas, anniversary etc I love any excuse to exchange cards, we often send each other sweet messages / notes etc but my greatest pleasure is receiving a card from him that he has specially chosen pictures to put on the front and wrote me a lovely message inside which I then keep up and read regularly over the next couple of weeks ❤️

I totally agree with how behaviour every other day of the year is more important but I also think there is often so little to celebrate so why not take advantage of a day where you can just celebrate your love for one another and make a special effort to tell them how wonderful they are.

I look for the reduced flowers and chocolates.

No we don't do Valentines Day, we don't do Mothers/Fathers Day either. It's all a waste of money and we tell each other we love each other daily and show it all the time. We've been away together this weekend over night and out next Friday. I don't need a card (can't see the point in a car for anything!) bunch of flowers or anything else to feel or show love!

😂 no, I'm not 5.
