Thanks for the lovely wishes, and the same to all!
I remember when I was single and I thought Valentine's Day was overrated and stupid. One of my colleagues and I used to joke about having trouble getting in our front doors because of all the roses and chocolates piled up waiting for us. I feel very differently now, though - my sweetie does in fact bring me flowers and chocolates (and not just on Valentine's Day) and tonight he's taking me out for dinner. I've just finished baking him some Valentine cookies. A couple of years ago he sang me a Brahms love song, completely unexpectedly, during a choir rehearsal (he had set it up with the conductor). With somebody that romantic in my life it's awfully hard to be cynical.

See that meesthere, it is husbands like yours that make the rest of us hate this holiday. You come into work telling the story how he SINGS to you, and the rest of us need to measure up to that. 99% of men would love to get together and set the paramaters of just a card and maybe flowers. Most restaurants charge too mush on this day anyway, so dinner is a ripoff also.

It doesn't take much to make a woman happy. I woke up this morning to a beautiful card on the dining room table. I was touched. Just a card, nothing else but a meaningful card chosen with love.

ROTFLOL Patrick!
Nantucket, maybe you are with the wrong woman. You should not have to measure up to anybody else. If your partner knows and loves you and you make a nice gesture to show her you love her on this day it will be appreciated.
Most practical women know that buying flowers today is rediculous. Unless you have crazy money, buy them another day...make an effort to do something considerate, cook dinner yourself or bring home dinner and set the table with nice dishes...light some candles.
Really guys, it's not that hard to impress us.

Are you kidding? I am with the right woman because she knows that flowers and chocolate is a bunch of crap. My valentine was the most simple thing in the world and she could not have loved it anymore.
That doesn't change the fact that this is a stupid holiday to boost the economy during the winter months.
