Okay, I agree with all of you here... but, here's my lonely, more jealous than anything, and possibly angry opinion.
VALENTINE'S DAY SUCKS ROTTEN, SHITRIDDEN, a** STUFFED DONKEY BALLS!
You know why? You see, every year, I have this little jealousy thing that makes me jealous when people would get a kind gesture of a gift from someone else, while I sit around, hoping someone would do the same for me. Yeah, that's a wish that shall never come true.
So, my opinion of the holiday is of that I am very mad at most people for leaving me in the dark while the rest of the idiots got something. I don't know why this happened to me, but it just did. It sucked complete a** every time. It will probably suck this year, too. Well, I don't care. <******** you, Valentine's day. ******** you.

Isel DR490N eh. i'm just going to go see pan's labyrinth with the girlfriend for valentines day. the reasons given for it these days are false, the story of 'saint valentine' is false. it began as a roman and greek pagan holiday. i hate the fact that christianity has made holidays commercialized and hollow. Everyone says that Christianity has changed our holidays. Seriously, not every holiday was pagan, and not everything about Paganism was good. Christianity did incorporate (and alter) a lot of pagan festivals, though, and Valentine's Day was one of them. Keeping the old pagan holidays and changing their focus as little as possible was a useful way of attracting converts, because it meant people could adopt a new religion without giving up all their old customs.
St. Valentine does seem to have been a real person (or possibly multiple real people — there were three Christian martyrs named Valentine in Rome in the late 3rd century, when the legend began). The Golden Legend, a collection of stories of saints' lives which was compiled around 1260, describes a St Valentine refusing to deny Christ before the emperor Claudius and getting his head chopped off for it.
People started associating St. Valentine's feast day with romantic love in the late middle ages, around the same time courtly love and troubadour poetry became all the rage.
But people weren't buying candy hearts left and right back then. It isn't Christianity that commercialised these holidays. It was greedy modern retail corporations.
