Ever considered that the reason you like valentine's is cause you never had one?
| Valentine's day didn't used to be solely about romance though. In some places it's still a day where you celebrate all the people you love in your life, not just romantic partners but also friends and family.
Even when I had partners I didn't care for valentine's until my friends from finland started sending me handmade postcards and chocolate in the mail. It's pretty sweet, and I like their version more.
| What I don't like about holidays like March 8th, February 14th or even New Year is the fact that often you HAVE to celebrate them. Like, I never agreed to dedicate a bunch of days in the year to looking for prsents and spending time with specific groups of people but then everyone would be upset if I won't do that. I don't want or expect to get any presents on days like these either, I just want to do my own stuff. I think people should do something to make most holidays optional.
| it lets me hope so shut the fuck up

| I like the idea of valentine's day even if it's a bit silly to have a specific day to show your love to the person you love, like you can just go on a date or buy a gift anytime of the year
However yeah I still like it cause I've never had a partner and it seems like a cute inoffensive holiday to me. Before I became a NEET g/u/rl I always had some small hope someone I know would approach me on valentine's even if that never happened
