V-Day

Its that time of year again...when fake romance and cheesy cliches vomit red, pink, and heart shaped chocolate all over store shelves.
I really don't understand Valentine's Day. Why do two people, who are dating or in a relationship or who just like each other, need a specific day set aside to buy each other cute greeting cards and chocolates? I don't get it. Shouldn't couples be showing each other that they care every day and not just on February 14th? 

I've almost always been single on V-Day. [One year I had a boyfriend who planned out a really cute horse drawn carriage ride through town. He got me a picture frame engraved with our names and a teddy bear(of course!). I had fun, but not any more fun than I would've had if it was just another date on another random day.] Most single girls sit at home and mope about being alone on V-Day, but I don't understand why. We're no more single on February 14th than we were on the 13th or will be on the 15th, so what's the big deal on that one day?? Go buy yourself some overpriced chocolate in a heart shaped box and be happy about it!!

Am I the only one who feels this way about V-Day??
