How´s your love life, and are you celebrating valentines?

[Deleted]

So I´ve been with my girl for close to 6 years now. Still having a good time. Living together in a small appartment for over 2 years now.
We don´t celebrate valentines, then again we often go out to diner, to see a movies or whatever. So it´s not a special day in our book.

Before that, I had a 2 year bartending period where all I put my education on hold and did nothing else but party, work, have one night stands, eat and sleep. Sometimes i miss it, but i´m glad i found my soulmate because of it (i met her during the end of that period, might say she was the reason to end it).

So I feel my `love life` is pretty priviledged, and if it somehow relates to careing about valentines or not. What is your love life like, and do you celebrate valentines? Do you think theres a correlation between having lots of love and not giving a shit about valentines / Not having a lot of love and thinking valentines is something special?

Share your stories!

Edit: messed up the poll, would a mod be so kind to replace the last poll option with: I´m in a steady relationship, I feel valentines is not important.

Since it's on the week-end we'll probably do something. Go out to dinner or something like that.

Our first date was the day before Valentine's day, years ago. We've been married now for 33 years.

Currently single and enjoying every minute of it. My last relationship was... Kinda bad...

That's like going out for dinner on mother's day, shit experience guaranteed, because every other moron has the same idea.

Personally I think these days to celebrate some person are usually dumb.if I wanted to show them my affection I would do it 365 days of the year, not once a year.

My girlfriend currently has her mind made up that we're going to Taco Bell with fake light up candles to pretend to have a romantic Taco Bell dinner.
I'm already cringing hard.

That being said, overall I've been with the same person for a majority of the last 7 years, had a bit of a break up but we worked it out in the end, we've had enough serious dates I think on Valentines day to let this one slide.

Im in a 8 year relationship and couldn't give a shit about valentines. Why isn't that an option?

[Pony Soldier]

Bah humbug!

[GennGreymane]

Its meh to me,

but if people want to enjoy it... let them I personally get enjoyment out of it.

The last 3 years I flew my family down to Disney World for Valentines day and we are doing the same this year. We make a long weekend out of it. It's not longer an intimate day between my wife and I but rather a family day.

26 years single yay me...

[Zoaric]

Single here. I'll probably go to a movie and grab some bad Chinese with some friends
on Saturday. Not in celebration, it's just Saturday.

The importance of Valentine's Day derives from the people involved. If I'm single, it's not important. If I'm with someone, it's exactly as important as they feel it is. And it can be fun.

[Aerodactyl]

In a nearly 3 year long relationship with my future wife, I'm certain. But I don't really like Valentine's day...just another day to break you down and "show your love".

[breadisfunny]

i like how the poll doesn't give an option for relationships not involving sex as if the creator thinks either that all intimate relationships require sex or that unless you have sex it isn't a intimate relationship. granted at some point you should probably engage in sex with your partner but to think that because you don't engage in sex after x period of time it isn't a actual intimate relationship is absurd.

I bought a bag of powdered doughnuts for myself in celebration of Single Awareness Day.

IRC valentine's day? any one?

[Arcilux]

Happily married, and Valentines isn't super special, my birthday is the 15th so we usually just combine birthday and valentines day celebration into one

This. I don't care for it, but my fiance does. Therefore I care about it. O_o
