That's the way I feel about it, too. And luckily for me, so does my wife. I absolutely hate Valentine's Day, but I do usually get my wife a card. I got her a card and a large bag of peanut M&M's, her favorite candy. The trouble with V-Day (didn't want to shorten it to VD, lol) is that everyone expects to go out for dinner, but the restaurants are always so stinking crowded that it's no fun anyway. That, and I don't get off work until 5:30, after a shower & getting dressed, we're usually not ready to leave the house until about 6:30, then it's usually a half-hour drive to the nearest decent restaurant. If we want crab legs, it's about an hour drive. By the time we get anywhere, we're starving and then there's probably at least a half-hour wait if it's a busy night like tonight will be. Then you have to add in the forced card/flowers purchase because, if you don't, then you're a cad. At least my wife prefers that I save my money and don't buy flowers, and would rather be surprised some other day.
No, I want to surprise her with flowers on some random day, and maybe cook her a romantic dinner. Though with two small children even that is difficult these days.
Though, if you want your mind blown, just think about how many people will be doing the horizontal mambo tonight.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
