The only reason we knew today was Valentines day was because my wife remembered the open beta for Rift was on Tuesday the 15th... therefore today was probably the 14th.
Every year I tell myself that I'll go out and treat myself to a fancy dinner alone, but I can never force myself to go through with it. Not since I saw that one episode of Frasier.
I wouldn't be surprised if some restaurants outright refused to sit one tops on Valentine's Day for fear that people will flip the fuck out.

We're not doing anything. Monday is too damn busy. Unless you count working out in the gym at 9 pm, taking a quick rinse, and sitting the boy down in front of the TV cause girl got a midterm coming up super romantic
The lady and I were going to go out with some friends tonight but then we realized that these people would think we had relationship troubles because we were spending V-D night with our friends in a bar rather then curled up in a shitty candle-lit restaurant getting terribad service because honestly, v-d day is the worst possible day you could imagine to eat out.

But...do it anyway and don't worry about what they think? Presumably, having a good time with the lady while everyone is around would show that things are fine, as well as future group gatherings.
My celebration with my girlfriend was on saturday, where all of the scheduling fell apart, and the cooking kinda did too. My fucking oven smokes way too much, so after setting off the smoke detector 3 times, we gave up on fully cooking the steak and baking our tomatoes and it was kinda meh.
Pixels and I never do much for Valentine's Day, which suits us both just fine. I mean, a little girly princess part of me would love to be woken up my heart-shaped pancakes and surprised throughout the day by a series of seemingly unrelated gifts that eventually culminated in some awesome linking mega-present over dinner, but the reasonable part of me thinks that would be over-the-top and stupid, and the purely practical part of me thinks that if I let him do that for me, I'd have to do something equally extravagant for him, which would a) be a ton of work, and b) lead to both of us trying to one-up the other with our thoughtfulness, resulting in a terrifying Valentine's arms race that could only end in tears.
So, this year, I'm just going to clear all the junk - cat bed, books, stray clothes, empty glasses - off the table in the living room, so we can eat there. I'm going to cook him a nice, simple dinner: I already picked up a gorgeous-looking strip sirloin to grill, and I'll do baked potatoes and corn and drop biscuits to go with it. Then after dinner, I'll show him the bottle of Maker's Mark I bought him, then use some of it to make a bourbon-caramel sauce to drizzle over vanilla ice cream for dessert, accompanied by a plate of the salted chocolate-covered caramels from Dierberg's that he loves.
I have no idea what he has planned for me, if anything. Honestly, a new book would thrill me.

Wish me luck. I'm heading to the Godiva Chocolate Boutique in the Suit-mall during lunch time.
I'd like to think I have found the perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day: with me and my girlfriend's one-year anniversary
Because really, it's pretty hard to pick a day for a relationship, so we just picked VD, which is extremely convenient because there is no way I could forget, and there are ample gift opportunities!

The OP reminded me how cool postsecret is. Thanks sig.
Last night Choco and I avoided the Valentine's Day crowds and went out for dinner. I had chicken and shrimp and scallops and mashed potatoes with beef broth and caesar salad, and he had a medium rare steak. It was so good. We even had appetizers and desert and drank ice water out of wine glasses. I felt super classy.
I thought that was all I was doing for him but this morning he gave me a card and some expensive chocolate truffles.
Today I'm meeting him after class and giving him roses and a box of chocolates.
And then tonight we're going out with Pony and his lady. The theatre should be deserted because we're seeing the Fighter, which is not a date movie at all, so it should be fun. We can sit wherever we want!
This has been the best Valentines ever.

I just spent $80 for 54 pieces of chocolate at a cost of $1.48 per unit. It would have cost $100 for a little more than half of that in a cute plush heart box.
Stupid holiday...

If you weren't assaulted with a sword, then anything more than that is just gravy.
As for me and fiancée we rebel against The Man and his Hallmark Holiday. Instead I just get her a flower or other such cheap tokens of endearment at various points throughout the year. Seems a bit more meaningful.

No, I am not really communist. Yes, it is weird that I use this name.

My girlfriend went the super, super sappy route and bought me chocolates and a Valentines Build a Bear. One that says I love you when you squeeze its hand.
This is adorable. I think that every man needs one Valentines Day where he gets something like this.
I really wish she was here for March 14th though.

Still a good night though.
Surely that can be done all year round.
It's a boon for those of us too lazy for that, though.
YES! and thank you for this, god i love this band.

Also happy Valentine's day, bros and fembros.
From a cute girl!
Hand-delivered to me by her fiancée!
As an apology for saying last night that my only valentine would be my hand!
So I got her the best valentines present I could think of; I'm not making her pay for it.

But still, I hope everyone is with a person who puts the paprika in your gumbo.

I really am easy to please.
Please, please provide the backstory on this. I am dying to know.

Feels good man.
I think that's about right
Well don't leave us hanging!
I did nothing especially valentines-y today.
I guess I played Arcana Heart. That has the word heart in the title. There you go.
And then tonight I am going to go do the midnight release of MvC3.
So, a pretty bitching valentine's day, all told.
and then this afternoon I dressed Talking Jesus in a Ken Doll Prom outfit
it is p hilarious
I'm not sure, I think that is about as romantic as we get
we're both pretty terrible
