10 Things… People Say On Valentine’s Day

"No cards?"

Rebecca McKnight

It’s a day that tends to either evoke inexplicable anger or bring on sickening soppiness. It’s also a day filled with cliched sayings, both bad and good. Here are 10 things people say on Valentine’s Day…

1. Happy Valentine’s Day

It depends on whether you love or hate February 14th as to the tone you use.

2. It’s just a way for the shops to make money

Yea but people say that about Christmas too. We’re not going to cancel it though.

3. We don’t really mark the occasion

Not at all… you just got a few small gifts, bought a new outfit and booked a romantic meal in your favourite restaurant.

4. All the cards are WAY too soppy

Who has time to read all those verses? More importantly, who can stomach them?

5. This is my (insert number here) Valentine’s Day on my own

In response, friend in a relationship says…

6. I know a guy I can set you up with for next year

He’d need to be the type that likes Valentine’s Day.

7. No cards?

No. Nobody loves me.

8. I got flowers and chocolates

You don’t say!

9. Oh you really shouldn’t have

We’d love to have see the reaction if they hadn’t.

10. I love you

Cheesy but necessary. (Unless of course you’ve only been dating for a few weeks.)
