Again, I thank you. It is an American thing I guess. On Valentine's day, people give love notes, roses, candies, make dates to have romantic dinners WITH THEIR SWEETHEARTS.
Not friends, not relatives, not folks you admire (unless you want them to think you want something more from them, like sex)
I guess I have a very narrow view of the HOLIDAY.
There is nothing to say that you can't love your friends and neighbors, you should in fact. We should all love each other. The Bible tells us to do that.
I thank you for the Valentine badge @Tobywalter
