Why do people make such a big deal out of Valentines Day?

I am not one of those stupid boys that don't care about such things, if anything I am a bit of a romantic, but the day itself really means nothing as I see it. Perhaps some of you can inform me as to why this day out of all other days is so important. I would think that being loving and attentive to the girl I care about it more of an everyday event, rather than someday chosen for me, which originally has nothing to do with love. I am single, and have been for sometime now, but I don't remember feeling anything but pressure for such a day. Would it not be better to have your partner and you pick out, or just have special moments?

There is also this whole other group of people who find themselves feeling alone, or angry on Feb. 14th. I think it would be nice to have someone to spend any special day with, but that is not the case right now. That fact isn't going to have me going around being broken though. If it was just about being with anyone, then I guess I could go pick a girl up right now. I don't want a person in my life though, I would only want that if someone was the right partner at that moment in time. Perhaps for many it is that compulsion to be with someone, never being alone. I know plenty of people like that, esp. girls that are always with some guy. They just can't ever be single more than a minute. "O' I really like this guy!" It is always some guy though. I think we get to caught up in wanting to find traits in people so we can like them. Searching for someone that will fit well enough to be with, just to be with someone.

I think I will spend my time making myself the me I want in my life, rather then finding someone to be in my life. If I ever come across someone that I am willing to except and share my life with, great. Hunting to find a fit for a hole, that doesn't actually exist is just a waste of time to me. I also hope that the next girl I am involved with isn't interested in me because I could fit some set of standards, or something good enough till better comes along. I would hope that she just wants me, because she wants me. I also hope to have that reasoning in mind myself, and I certainly refuse to hurt another girl because I just want to feel something.

So I don't know. This whole little blog has gotten off target. I guess it isn't why do people obsess about the 14th, but also why the need to be with someone?

I don't think anyone reads what I write anyway, but if anyone has any thoughts on this, I am more than interested in hearing.
