I never realized how much I dislike Valentines Day until now. I was at Walmart and I was around the Holiday Section and I counted 9 men and 2 women who were looking for last minute gifts and I thought "How utterly corny."
I honestly do not see the logic of choosing a day of the year to devote to "love" and the like. If a man or woman is going to do something romantic for their romantic partner why do it on the day that every other man and woman are going to do it? Do it on a random date that says "Hey I wanted to do something special for you, let's make this OUR day and not everybody else's day."
Why do what almost everyone expects you to do on Valentines Day? Why buy the candy and roses that say "Hey everyone else is doing the same thing today, so I thought I'd do it too!"
Now, I'm not a romantic. But just because I'm not a romantic doesn't mean I don't know romance- I know it when I see it. And Valentines Day? I'm not seeing it.
If a guy asks his girl to marry him on Valentines Day that is CORNY. Loads of other guys have done it too. If a girl finally admits to her guy that she loves him on Valentines Day that is CORNY. Say it on a random day at a random moment.
Now that you've read this tell me what you think about Valentines Day. Romantic or Corny?
