Valentines

[Talia]

I think this goes here?

So, traditionally people would ask people they like or someone they're already with to be their valentine, but I don't really get it. Being someone's valentine isn't restricted to be between lovers or anything, right? And I think Valentines day shouldn't be the excuse to give your special someone candy or some other gift (not trying to be accusing or anything), it just seems like lots of people use it that way, like "it's Valentines day I have to get him/her something."

Personally I asked my close friends, and some of my other friends if they'd be my valentine's. I asked 2 of my teachers too lol. I'm planning to bring a few big bags of candy to school and hand out candy to them (though my closer friends get something more special), even to my friends/acquaintances that I didn't ask to be my valentine.

Anyone else ask friends or other people like that to be their valentine?

Well...it's a little late for my comment but I can still help for next year! In my elementary school we always got valentines day card for everyone. It's kind of childish for highschool students, at least some think like that, but you can never go wrong with that! It's a day where you show others how much you care for them and value your relationship with them, and it's always nice to get others gifts. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm kind of a hyppocrit on this subject though. (not sure if I spelled hyppocrit right). I don't bother with valentines day except getting gifts for my family. Of course I'm a guy with mostly guy friends, so I don't bother with it with friends anymore. For a girl though I would think it's more ok because girls seem to have different relationships with eachother than guys have with guys. It's not a guy thing to get others valentines cards unless their a girl if you ask me. Don't know why I feel like that though.

Well, yeah but these days valentine days really means boys and girls relationship. Boys and girl friends. Wives and hushband etc.

i always give my girlfriend something for valentines day. but i also send a valentines message to my close girl friends. the reason why? to me, valentines day means letting your lover how much you love them, but also letting your friends know how much you appreciate them and how special they are to you. so this valentines just gone, i gave something special to my gf, but i also wrote messages to some amazing close friends of mine to let them know how much they mean to me.

I didn't have a Valentine this year, but I really like the way you look at it.
