It gets me, every year. We put ourselves and one another through this agony all in the name of love. The day seems to have little to do with St Valentine, rather it is either in celebration of the Goddess Juno, or it is the day when the birds pair for the spring (not all birds do this, many mate for life).
It is also a traditional day for sending love letters and cards. One positive aspect of all the commercialism is that people use today as a day to keep in touch. This is what the day should really be; not soul searching wondering when (or if) your true love will come, not buying emergency gas station flowers, not hating yourself for not having anyone.
So go, write a few letters, you'll be amazed at the response you get.
