Valentines Day Is Bad For You. Find Out Why

It's the 1st of February so it's almost that time of the year, and we ladies are gearing up for lover's day, how I remember back in school days when we used to buy plastic flowers for N20 and when you receive it as a gift you give it to the next person hoping that he/she thinks you actually bought it.

I was having a chat with a friend (a guy) who suggested that valentine is actually bad, here are a few points;

1   For single people with no Valentine's date, it's just a day/ night staying indoors while your friends run out to have fun with their perfect date, and of-course they won't stop talking about it - how depressing

2   For those in relationships, Valentines Day is another night filled with pressure, expectation, and very often disappointment with everyone running helter skelter and breaking the bank just to get the perfect gift or in some cases getting very excited about the perfect gift only to get disappointed.

He thinks it should be a period for people to love and cherish their partners rather than having to get or do something to show how much they love and cherish their partners.

I must say, I agree with his last point, nonetheless, I don't find the whole gift buying, anticipation etc boring, nor do I agree it should be strictly about reflecting on the relationship, a small gift as well won't hurt. What do you guys think?
