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!
