Valentine

Myspace Graphics What do you think of Valentine's Day? Do you know who was Valentine and why is he the patron saint of the lovers? Can girls ask boys out? Or should they wait for the boys to ask them ... and wait forever :)) ?

I think Valentine's Day is stupid. If you love someone, you love him every day and not only on 14th of February. There are more theories why is Saint Valentine the patron of the lovers. One is that he has sent first love letter to a young girl when he was in prison and other, that he was priest and he married secretly. But the Saint Valentine isn't celebrated at 14th of February in all Churches: in Eastern Orthodox Church he's celebrated on 13th of August and he isn't a patron of the lovers.
I think girls can ask boys out - why not? Why should boys always ask and do the all interesting things ...? It doesn't matter who asks: it's important that they love each other ...

I agree with Lidija. If you love someone, you love them -and show that- 365 days/a year and not just one day.

Lidija also explained who Valentine was, so ... =)

And girls ... yeah, they can ask boys out. I mean, yes, it's really difficult to do, and I haven't done it myself (yet =D), but if you muster up the courage and also accept the risk of being rejected, girls (and boys, of course), can ask each other out. I think the best case scenario would be that the boy asks the girl out at the same time the girl asks the boy out ...

I don't think Valentine's day is about loving a person just one day of a year.. I think that day is the day, you thell that person that (that you like her for exemple). We don't do this anymore but when we were younger, we did! =)..and it was realy a very special day...

I don't know who Valentine was and I don't think I care very much... =)

..yup, girls sometimes do ask the boys out but it usually has to be a boy to ask a girl... Some people say that it is funny if girls do that and some people... it's a long story =P H.F.

I can see reason in all the comments that were already posted. Although it's kind of stupid because if you love a person, you love him/her all year long, I think it's nice to have a day that is dedicated to love.
Valentine was one of the many Christians martyrs that had the same name. I found it interesting that Valentine's day was already associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages.
I agree that girls can ask boys out. But it can depend on who is the shy one of them. It's probably easier for us girls if the guy asks us out and not the other way around.

I agree with everybody ! :) when you love some one, you love him more than just one day & it 's good to show him that every day, not just one day of the year. If you aren 't good at expressing fillings, then show your love in some different way, for examble buy some candy hearts, and i think Valentine 's day is perfect for that kind of people, for people who are more shy, and don 't expresses love everyday. :)

Lidija explained who Valentine was ...

About girls and boys .. ,Girl don 't ask boy out, if he likes you he will ask you out =P just kidding, ofcours girls can ask boys out. But i really think that 's better if the boy ask girl out. Don 't know why, boys are more courage about that or no ?? .. :) <3

I see Lidija answerd who Valentine was ...

I think Valentine's Day is O.K. beacause it's an excellent
opportunity for those who do not know when and do not dare to say to a person who they love that they love them. It's not the only day you love, you love all the time but Valentine's Day is the day when you show and prove this love.

I think girls can ask boys out but usually the girls are the shy ones so the boys have to be brave ones.
When we were staying in hotel we got on Valetine's Day the list that said that there are many legends about Valentine and that on this day boys have to ask girls out and not the other way around.

I agree whit Katarina. I don't think the Valentine's day stupid, but I don't celebrate it. When I was yunger it was special day for me. But now it's different. Sometimes it's funny when you get something. Special if you get it from the person you love it. But you don't love just for one day I think.

Of course can girls asked boys too. Forever it's a long time. And why would boys have all they want? But it's easier if boy asked the girl. Isn't it? Girls are so shy and boys are so brave ... But not always.

I actualy don't celebrate valentine's day, becouse it is realy not important to me.

I realy don't know who was Valentine but i think he was important person.

I think that girls can ask boys out...It is not that hard(i think).
But usually boys ask girs out.
