My boyfriend and I don't celebrate Valentine's day. I actually brought it up as our first V-day was approaching, and he was kind of surprised, but relieved. We have so many holidays grouped together (his birthday in October, mine in November, then Christmas, then our anniversary in March) that it makes sense to skip this one. Plus, I think it's a bad day all around because people who have significant others feel pressured to do something spectacular, and people who are single get depressed because they don't have someone to celebrate with. So, it pretty much makes everyone end up feeling bad, thereby negating the reason for the holiday.
