  1. No one actually created Valentine’s Day, it just got popularized by businesses. St. Valentine was a Catholic monk that had a sweetheart when he wasn’t allowed to have one, and he ends up in jail. While he is in jail he writes heartfelt letters to his sweetheart everyday, even though he was not allowed to have a sweetheart, considering the Catholic practice of celibacy. St. Valentine was put to death on February the 14th.

  3. Valentine’s day sucks! I hate this stupid day. All it makes you do is realize how alone you are. All it takes is one day to make all women, young and old, feel bad about themselves. You can have all the confidence in the world all year round, but if your ass is alone on Valentines Day, you suddenly feel like shit! You start thinking ” Oh man, why can’t I ever get a date, or a gift or whatever!” Fu*k this day! I’m not saying I have a problem with love, but I don’t need one day to show love for someone. If you really loved the person, you’d show it everyday. Don’t just wait till the one day of the year! So, all I have to say is “up your fat ass cupid, and to hell with St. Valentine.

  5. I HATE VALENTINES DAY it was the day that i got laughed at by my whole class cause i liked some girl. And i got laughed at 2 more weeks. And it cost the Students more cause u have to buy chocolate for the whole class. if there was a day i could get rid of i would get rid of v-day. I HATE V-DAY it is the worst day of the whole year.
    I wish it had never been invinted.

  8. This is an ideal website, why?? because firstly it allows seriously sour people to vent their frustration healthily and secondly because it gives others a great understanding into the human psyche. Im writing an article on Valentine’s Day and peoples cynicism towards it and from reading people’s comments above i can understand why people hate the day. Being single, i agree that the day does make one feel abit like a loser because you dont have someone to share the day with but for the first year ever im not going to condemn the day that brings alot of happiness to those who are coupled up and in love. Fair enough it can be said that even some couples hate the day and thats basically because they feel pressured to outdo other couples in showing how much in love they are. If anything thats weakness in your relationship because if your happy and in love it doesnt matter what you get or what you do on Valentine’s, as long as your together. As a hopeless romantic i quite like the idea of there being a day dedicated to espressing how you feel. Some of you maintain that every day should be Valentine’s but lets face it, who has the time 365 day in a year to let someone know how much they care. I do sympathise with those who have been dumped or cheated on on V-Day but your better off without such a loser of a person. Someone who would do that on a day which is meant to be all about love is obviously someone worth losing,so stop crying over it and get on with it. As for what to do on the day itself if your single, watch a horror movie with some friends, screaming, guts and gore are bound to take your mind off the fact that your single on the one day of the year that couples truly rule the universe.

  9. I ABSOLUTELY HATE VALENTINE’S DAY! I know you are all thinking that I hate it because I am bitter over some ex-boyfriend that I thought I would be with forever. That is not the case. Why should there be a special holiday for telling someone how much you love them? You should tell them whenever you feel that way, not just on 2/14. As a matter of fact, I do currently have a boyfriend and he hates the holiday just as much as I do. This year we are not even hanging out on Valentine’s Day in protest of the holiday!

  10. I used to think I hated valentines day because I was single, and never got cards but I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years now and we both hate it still! we strongly beleive that you should show your love for eachother everyday – or any day, not on a commercial day when the shops tell you that you should – it is SO FAKE! and its even worse when you are actually a couple because everyone pesters you on what you are going to do for the ‘special day’ and then look at you in horror when you reply – nothing we dont celebrate it. People try to make us feel as though we dont care about of love eachother ! arggg.

  11. I hate this holiday so much . . . I’m single, and maybe I’m not the most good looking person in school, but I just wish I didn’t have to have it rubbed in my face “ha ha, I have a Valentine and yoooooou don’t.” I just hate going around school and seeing the HUNKY perfect GOOD LOOKING guys with a beautiful girl on their arms, with a huge box of chocolate and roses and/or a balloon. I just miss when Valentines Day was a holiday to look forward to (like, in Elementary school, when you made Valentines for everybody in your class and you’d have a party). Now it’s just a terrible holiday to make single people feel bad and lonely, and makes it seem like it’s against the law if you don’t have a date. This holiday is only good if it’s on the weekend. I’m going to barf if I see Freshmen with a date for Vday, and me, just mope around all day, feeling terrible about myself. At my school, everybody walks around with heart balloons and tons of gifts. At least I get a balloon every year, and at least I’m a friendly person who doesn’t like to make trouble, so why doesn’t anybody like me?

  12. With 51% of all women in America now living single and Valentine’s Day around the corner; isn’t it time for a new type of fairy tale?
    Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb venture out with an innovative Modern Day Fairy Tale in hopes of inspiring women to follow their dreams. In the midst of the barrage of advice women receive about where and how to build their self esteem, this book encourages girls that it starts with believing in yourself. The star of their story is Princess Bubble, who is confused because all of the fairy tales she has ever read, tell her she must find her “prince” in order to live happily ever after. In the midst of her entertaining search, Princess Bubble discovers that happiness is found beyond the prince and is attainable for everyone. It’s about loving God, learning to love yourself, being kind and giving of yourself to others, and looking forward to the many adventures that lie ahead! For Bubble, who is also a flight attendant for the Royal Heir Line, her future will be full of journeys to distant lands and her passions will lead her to experience new cultures. This is the beginning of a series of children’s books to teach your kids to hold onto their dreams and to learn how being different can enrich your life.

  13. Every February 14th i wake up to the beat of the same drum. i wake up wishing this day would be like that of my peers…to be picked up and flown into that endless fantasy of love.
    Every February 14th…nothing happens. It sickens me, it makes my soul ache. I feel like a loser, a wuss. For that day, my self esteem, it drops beneath the earth, and i try, i try to be strong, and let it go. I try to ignore this stupid “theme”, and continue with my life, but as tears roll down my cheeks, i think to myself that as much as I try to hate and despise valentines day, deep inside I long to be with someone and have a special bond with them for that day.
    This hurting i feel inside, i won’t feel it two days from now, because society has brainwashed us all into thinking we have to be paired on either side of the equation to be happy on St Valentines Day…n0o0oo. This holiday *whatever* this day, this theme, this hoax will survive as an endless hurricane…and just like we’re told in the news, just “honker down” and avoid all obstacles in sight *yeah PDA…* i know its difficult….im trying that myself.

  14. i was dumped the day before valentines and im really sad.. and seeing all my friends with there gf’s just depresses me! to top that off i work in a hotel and i have to work on valentines day, serving people that are holding hands! i miss my girl 🙁

  15. I am 15 and Go to school on valentines day. For young people, Valentines day is a way for all the pretty people and the paired up people to show everyone else that they are happy and loved. and also to rub it in, and rub it in, and RUB IT IN to people like me who are not loved by anyone. not even my family. and, to see how DOWN other people get when they are not sent a rose by anyone??? i saw people crying and threatening to kill themselves because they didn’t get sent any fricking flowers! THIS SHIT HAS GOT TO STOP!! i just can’t believe how something so commercialised and stupid is so popular, yet makes 80 percent of the population so miserable! i feel sorry for the poor married men and boyfriends (and the girlfriends and wives) who have to fork out to buy new lingerie and shitty little pink gifts every february just to prove to their partners that they still love them!! it’s MISERABLE!!!

    i feel better now

    thankyou for listening…

  16. Another f*#>ing V-day: Baileys, chocs, all the cigarettes I can smoke + endlessly repeated playings of “Love Stinks” by The J. Geils Band, constantly at hand.

    Here’s an ipso facto for U: as a science graduate with a 1st Class BSc Hons in Natural History, if I do say so moiself (pardon the annoying boast) I’ve done my homework. All you other Valentines Day haters may find slight peace of mind in knowing that ‘the L-word’ (I’ve barely the stomach to type it) is nothing but the unwary imbecile’s term for a chemical called DOPEAMINE which just so happens to be released in precisely the same part of the brain responsible for COCAINE ADDICTION!!!
    As for all the marriage/commitment/children babble: another chemical – OXYTOCIN. Ooh and guess what? Experiments with gophers (I’m normally no advocate of vivisection) proved that if you suppress the release of oxytocin…BINGO! They become bachelors, bachelorettes and even ignore their own offspring.
    All this is hard FACT! Look up a “Dr Fisher’s web site on scientific reasons for romance” if you don’t believe me.

    See? We’re all just organic carbon-based robots! Live with that and you can live with anything. Ain’t it great?!!

  17. Yup, I am really frustrated this v-day. I asked my bf’feel like celebrating a relationship that is literally going NOWHERE. Why bother getting me roses with a little card that says I love you when just last week I asked for clairity and a convesation about where we were headed (after 4 years) and he couldn’t even answer. Couldn’t even look me in the eye. I am so beyond the whole thing now. The flowers on the counter are doing nothing but making me more mad. They will probably outlast the relationship at this point..

  18. I hate Valentine’s Day too!!!!! What a sappy sucky day for those of us that are single, alone(feel alone)and don’t have anyone that gives a damn about us except when they want something from us!!

    I hate the red, pink, white, purple, the hearts, the lace, the stupid stuffed animals, the cutesy balloons, the mushy, expensive Hallmark cards,the candy, the naughty sleepwear(ha!) the silly, puffed up expectations. All just a great big commercial ripoff so that men can get laid!!

    Love, what a sad, pathetic lie that has been sold to us to part people from their money, so men can “get some”.

    I really hate Valentine’s Day!!!!!

  19. married 6 years, together for 11, and I hate it even more now! Florist wrip you off, restraurants provide shitty awful service, and the quality of flowers is terrible. Plus, we always fight because I did not spend enough on flowers. ($80.oo sounds enough to me) I hate it, it sucks sucks sucks. I love my wife the other days of the year, why do I need a hallmark holiday to tell me to say so. It turns my f–king stomach how stressed out chicks get. Stupid fake holiday.

  20. I hate valentine day. this is the worst one ever. One valentines day my ex cheated on me and called some other girl. i read his email and found out. Today, this valentines day my b/f took a bunch of work on that goes from 6am to 10pm and he didn’t tell me if he was planning anything. I cried all day and worked. he finally called and said,”oh you should have known I was going to take you out after 10″, it would have been nice if he’d said something. girls want to get ready for that. Now my whole days sucked and i don’t even feel like going out. I felt so unimportant and i hate that he couldn’t even take time out for dinner together. for me it is just about acknowledging we care. I know we can do it another day, but it is rare that i feel he treats me REALLY special. i just wanted one day…I guess i will get a late night evening, but I am sleepy after 10. this sucks.
