So many tales and explanations exist as to the origin and true meaning of Valentine’s Day. I do not want to lose focus with this post by diving into finding the actual meaning of what Valentine’s Day is or what it is meant to be like.
Maybe we will not even agree on what it means and what it should represent. However, I am certain we will all agree on what Valentine Day has come to mean to majority of lovers in the world.
It is the day lovers expect to be treated with so much love, be given flowers and showered with chocolates and expensive gifts.
Others expect to be taken to dinners at aristocratic restaurants. Most men expect to receive the most romantic love-making of their lives or be presented with a plate of kinky sex engulf in the underworld of sex toys, hand cuffs, etc…
In the world of retailers and shop operators, especially those who trade in flowers, chocolates and lingerie, 14th February is a money making day for them.
Weeks before Vals’ Day, shop windows are flooded with notices to remind us of the approaching day and entice us into buy all sort of things. This day brings huge profits to retailers and colossal pocket cuts to many lovers especially men like me.
My question is; does it really matter? Do you have to show your lover how much you care only on such day? Is Vals’ Day all that significant? Are you the kind who would immediately dump your man or woman if he/she fails to attach any importance to Valentine’s Day? In short, does Valentine Day really matter to you? If it does, why and if it doesn’t, why?
