Valentines Day - Love it, hate it, or somewhere in between?

[Sara_H]

My OH is away climbing up a Scottish mountain this week, so its the first valentines day we've been apart. The upside to this is that I've recieved my first ever valentines card from him. At least I think it's from him as it's anonymous, but it is a postcard from scotland so....

They love it, makes them feel all manly and rugged.

Don't much care. Wife and I are going to see Jandek in Dalston, it'll be great.

I wouldn't have described Dalston as great!

Well if anyone bought me red roses a teddy bear with a big heart a box of heart shaped sweets I'd be disappointed.Now if there was a heart shaped box with something to do with my bike that would be totally different!!!

Personally I love it, I get to drop the kids at the MIL's for an overnight, , take mrs T out fir a very nice italian (meal that is) followed by very good seats at the theatre to see Blood Brothers.
Top this off with a bottle of wine and some wild monkeys ex - jobs a good-un.
And I gets lotsa kudos as she thinks were only going out for a meal.

Serious question

Preamble: I've been in a relationship a loooonnnnnggg time, so we do what we do. For Valentines, that involves discussing what we should do, and then we do it. Dinner at home, nice restaurant, pizza and beer. It's always been a day when we celebrate us. So maybe I haven't been paying attention, but...

Is Valentine's a day when men give presents to women, but not women to men? Is so, how sad.

postscript: we only dated for a little over a year, so only had one V day before moving in together. He was a student, I was working. I sent him a big bunch of flowers, that the receptionist didn't bother to tell him were there until the next day; he drove across town in his old mini in 40C heat - mini minors do not like 40C heat - and left a single red rose on my door step. He won valentines day that year.

Never heard of him (?), looks interesting though. I'll try to get hold of an album or two to have a better listen!
