I'm not a great fan of Valentine's Day. Honestly I can't stand it. So what if your better half feels the same way about Valentine's Day as me? Would you still expect him/her to buy you a present and take you out to dinner and all that knowing that he's doing this because it is something that's demanded of him, not something he really wants to do?

If your boyfriend doesn't enjoy Valentine
Not a gal, but....
IMO that should not be an issue. But I think most guys would enjoy a good meal out anyways. And if you do that regularly, or even not, the guy could just consider it a "date night" like any other night. I know plenty of people who are just turned off with the whole commercialism of the holiday and it can actually cause them to not just be neutral on the matter but outright detest it (sounds like you are pretty much that way). But if you and your partner understand this, there should be some compromises easy enough to make.

I don't mind celebrating VD as long as next month we celebrate Steak&BJ day.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.

Valentines Day is just another disappointment in a long line of disappointments. (Yeah... okay... I'm just a little bitter about the whole thing)
It only takes a little bit of thought to remember to do something for a loved one and they even make it easy.
There's red hearts and stupid cupids everywhere you look so it shouldn't be difficult to remember this day.
It's not like it's a birthday that's forgotten or ignored. People lose track of time and forget certain days. I get that.
But if you or your SO refuse to make an effort any other day of the year, at least have the decency on this one day to do something special for each other.

To be honest - I would be thrilled. I am very anti V-Day.

My thoughts entirely.
I've never been a fan of Valentine's Day but I would celebrate it if a boyfriend wanted to so long as we could do Steak and Blowjob day too, I think I'd enjoy that day much, much more.

LOL I don't like the commercialism of the day... but... I am an incurable romantic. So ANY excuse to make my woman feel special is good enough for me. ;) So every day is Valentines Day for me.
I agree.

We are both incurable romantics even after 31 years of marriage! Posted this on another thread
Well, the missus went to sleep early last night! After she did I set the dining room table, grabbed the flowers out of the car, built the fire in the fireplace(didn't start it)! When I get home will start oven to preheat before I go up to shower and shave. Will be serving Chicken cordon bleu over a bed of rice and green beans! Champayne cocktail(sugar cube and 2 or 3 drops of bitters, shot of B&B brandy and then fill the Flute with chilled champayne) 2 or 3 even and offer to sit in the Hot tub outside! Then who knows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If both feel the same way about Valentines day, i suggest you stay away from those full restaurants where you know the service will be terrible.
Run a hot bath,grab a cold beer and invite her to join you .

I find it really stupid, just like mothers day and fathers day (do you have mothers- and fathers day in US?)...commercial bullshit in my opinion and NOTHING romantic about it.
I prefer to receive a little gift on another day, not just because it's V`day...

How many other weeks of the year can a guy expect to throw a $100 bill at a florist & receive a dozen red roses & maybe $7.00 in change?

Just for the day Blaze would not be nice to have both?
Kids if it is not freely given it is not much of a gift
If a girl knows her guy isn't into v-day, she's probably not expecting anything, unless she's one of those super-high maintenance girls that expects something for every single calendared event.
No girl wants a guy to do something because it's something demanded of him, if he doesn't do something of his own accord and want to do it, it diminishes the whole point. Saying or doing something on any day just because you care is going to mean more to her than something you feel pressured to get her because the media says to.
That being said, I find the concept of people giving flowers a little creepy. Flowers are basically a plant's reproductive organs, what if flowers ruled the world and people were in the same role that they are now, can you imagine the bouquets they'd give each other. O_O
