i have, for a long time, had a huge problem with the present attitude of girls around valentines day. i find it shallow. there's nothing wrong with getting and appreciating a gift, but some girls just take it too far, like those you indicated. so to combat that attittude and the commercial-driven atmosphere that surrounds the holiday, i have chosen not to participate. i told my boyfriend not to get me anything, and was serious, and he didn't. if he wants to get me something, he can do it when it means something and when its not a prearranged "only because i'm supposed to" kind of thing.
