With Valentine's Day slowly creeping up on couples all over America, I'm beginning to hear (and read) stories about how "Valentine's Day sucks" and how "sucky it is to be single on Valentine's Day." But let's face it - whether or not you believe Valentine's Day is a completely Hallmark/commercial holiday, there are thousands of people out there that do look forward to Valentine's Day (including myself).
Yeah, it may have little religious aspect to it, if any...and sure, it has a little bit of history behind it, but it's no Columbus Day. But Valentine's Day is still a nice day to take time out with your significant other and treat each other to something special. Of course, V-Day shouldn't be the only day that you show your lady that you love her, but it's a nice way to remind her of how you feel.
Lately, I've been hearing a new argument. Girls all around me are in serious relationships, yet still feel like their boyfriends need to ask them to be their "Valentine."
I'm not sure how I feel about this, considering that I think it should be a given - you're dating someone, you're theirs on Valentine's Day. But I do see how girls may think this to be a romantic aspect in addition to the already romantic day.
So this is for the ladies in relationships: Do you expect your man to ask you to be their Valentine? Or are you understanding that you've already got the title of "girlfriend," and "Valentine" fits under that category?
And for all of you without a Valentine this year - DON'T WORRY. Grab a couple of your girlfriends who are also Valentine-less and go see
He's Just Not That Into You (coming out Feb. 6). It'll make you happy that you're out of the dating scene and free from the "does he like me?" worry.

if he did i wud bitch slap hiz ass frum heer to eternity
*slaps forehead*
Im cheesy. In fact, I would pick a fight with my man if he didnt ask me. Im those gay romantic types who believes my love story is a fairytale so I need all that dramatic stuff.
Nah, I'd never expect my guy to actually ask me that. (Since he never would anyway, lol.) But I love Valentine's Day! It's really great =)
I don't think it's necessary to ask but I think it's super cute if they do. I've been dating my guy for 7 1/2 years and we're holding strong. I think it's nice to have that cute stuff around. It helps the relationship going even if it is dumb and quirky.
don't NEED to ask but they get like 189340235 points if they do haha (:
@TheKiwiIntoxication@xanga - Hahah so true.
"will you be my valentine?"
that sounds ridiculous. grow up, people. we're not in fourth grade anymore.I think asking is a nice addition, but I think my ex-boyfriend asked me both years we were together. This year I have a new guy in mind but still a single lady. So even though I'm expecting a little something, I'm not getting my hopes high. Eh. I like the day anyway, because I'll buy the corny 5th grade Valentines from Walmart. =]
The first time my boyfriend asked me, and we weren't dating yet it was the sweetest thing. He was so shy and I could hear the nervousness when he asked me to be his valentine. He just asked me recently to be his valentine for the 3rd time, of course it wasn't as sweet or romantic. LOL.
Being in a serious relationship, I honestly don't give two flying fucks about whether or not my boyfriend remembers Valentine's Day. It was only a big deal the first time around (in 07) because it was our 1 month-versary. It's not like a) I'm going to be home for it, b) my boyfriend is going to visit me at school for it, and c) either one of us really care.
If our relationship is so lacking for love that we need a special day (or title) to make it up to each other, it's not a very good relationship, now is it?
While it technically IS a given.. its just cute to ask. I asked my guy if he would be my Valentine (sense we arent officially official) and he looked at me like i was crazy and said "who else would i spend it with but you? lol but he thought it was cute.. (but then again hes a hopeless romantic)
its not necessary, but i think your SO would appreciate it.
When in a relationship I feel like and hope it's a given but my boyfriend already asked me because he was worried I wouldn't be for whatever reason. So silly but so cute at the same time. ^-^
With every couple having a personal anniversary on which to celebrate their relationship, how is Valentine's not completely redundant?
the thought didnt even cross my mind to ask my gf to be my "valentine".
seems silly
I can't remember if mine did last year or not, and I don't know if he will this year. It's not a big deal if he asks or not, but bonus points if he does, I guess. I jokingly ask him to be my Valentine anyway. I'm pretty sure that, after he sent me a lovely card inviting me out to dinner that I showed up to, he did ask me to be his valentine and gave me presents. But I don't remember all that was said.
It's cute but not necessary if you're in a relationship, especially if you've been together for +1 year. It's already assumed.
thats really stupid actually.
if my boyfriend asked me to be his valentine, id assume hes joking and come back with a smartass remark.
its a complete given...
then again, my relationship is far from "new" and this is our 3rd v-day together.
but if youre dating... then dont expect anyone to ask.
youre being really goofy if you do.
It's a given.
lol
that's stupid
If you're in a relationship it's pretty obvious... But then again Vday is also my anniversary so that's a definite given...
If you are in a relationship, it should be obvious.
yeah, if you're in a relationship it's pretty obivous you are but it's still something cute to do... :)
sweet. :)
@crzygurl4522@xanga - WOW! 7 1/2 years.. good for you guys! And I agree - it's fun to dress up the relationship on V-Day even if it is cheesy. :)
I'll ask my GF to be my Valentine :)
Screw boys
