Although it was when we conceived our baby a few years ago (we were "trying", it was a fertile time, nowt to do with it actually being Valentines Day. I had our baby on 14th November exactly 9 months later )
We may watch a film or something but more because it's a Friday than it being 14th Feb.
Do Londoners say nowt ? Sorry, I know that was nothing to do with what you posted
It is a token day....like Mother's Day or Father's Day...a chosen specific day in the calendar, if people wish to commercialize it that is their choice.
I would imagine most people just send/receive cards and for teenagers it is a chance to feel 'love' from somebody new....
I get one every year for my lovely 8 year old son.
My husband gets nowt and I don't want anything from him. Valentines day is for new lovers. There are far more important things to celebrate later on in a relationship.

Does anyone still send cards captioned 'Love is...' with those two cartoon child characters from the 70s and 80s, a boy and a girl, both clearly pre-pubescent, and patently wearing nothing? I strongly doubt it, given how dodgy that would seem now.
Nowt worse than commercialised romance. Tacky cards and single red roses - bleurgh! And I wouldn't be caught dead having a "romantic meal" with my husband on 14 Feb - too cringeworthy for words!

Only because you get chocolate and flowers
What do men get out of it?

Chocolate and flowers don't excite me.
Do men not get given presents then?
Aftershave, chocolates, wine, a watch, another gift??
Not really, not me anyway, just a card last year.
I don't think it's romantic either, it's too contrived.
A random meal out and cosy night in with a film, is more romantic to me.
Seriously?

Why are you sharing this? Unless.....
Incest?
...and, these days, it's rather too commercialised as well.
I'm not sure l like the overt commercialisation as it comes across as too intense and tacky.
