Valentine's day

I think it is inappropriate to make Valentine's day an occasion only for couples, when it is meant to be a day to celebrate love.
Everyone has some loving to give and I find it more appropriate to make it a day for singles to celebrate, give them a chance to meet somebody or just a chance to celebrate their lack of commitment in a relationship, making them available to more opportunities. Available to meet someone. Available to care for a beloved relative. Available to babysit !
I think that couples and parents have already some occasions to celebrate ; their wedding anniversary, the day they first met, each other's birthday, fathers and mothers day, Christmas and equivalent occasions for families, AND Valentine's day.
When you're in love and commited in a relationship, everyday is Valentine (==> cliché!) .You don't need a special day to go out, spend more money on some special Valentine seafood (intoxicating) diner with (boring) love songs program in an (overcrowded ) place where you should have reserved (many) days in advance. You neither need another occasion to buy more (heart shaped) gadgets ; after many years, you don't have enough place (even in the attick) to store these (unuseful) items. And if you are an old couple, you'll probably spend most of the diner arguing.
So, after all, Valentine's is not that special day for couples. It might make a wonderful occasion if it was a day for singles to go out and celebrate and get to meet other single people !
