Expectations of a new date on Valentine's Day

I've been seeing this guy but just for a couple of weeks. I've not even heard from him today - Valentine's Day. Is that acceptable? I would have expected at least a message.

He's very affectionate, communicative, attentive. Maybe he's not that into me, but his actions say otherwise in many ways. I suspect fear of intimacy or attachment problems.

Who cares if he has 'fear of intimacy' or 'attachment problems' - not your problem to solve and would likely disappear if he met someone he was really , really into. I think lack of any Valentine's message is shit and you should value yourself more.

Maybe he just doesn't do VD like many of us? It is allowed.

Some people including myself just see VDay as commercialised shit and don’t bother

Well if the ones you know do it then that's all the proof I need that all gay men do it.

As we all know, there is no higher standard of proof than a Mumsnetter saying 'Well all the ones I know.. "

"

Honestly do calm down dear
