Hey now! I'm almost a little offended that you didn't presume to include me on that list!
I hate Valentine's Day. If I liked flowers, then I would rather be sent three bunches on other days for the same cost as would have been spent on this jacked-up crass celebration of fake romance.
Which is an opinion I've held to in the middle of relationships.
As to being annoyed about receiving flowers this day... I've got them twice, and once I was annoyed, and once I wasn't. I was touched and girly and pleased when I was staying with a friend, and her male best friend made a point of bringing us each a dozen roses when he visited on Valentine's Day, even though he'd never met me. I was pissy and bitchy when I was sent flowers by the boyfriend I'd broken up with two months earlier.
I love gifts and love from people I love. But I want it because I like being reminded that I'm in their thoughts. It doesn't mean that if obligation has been shoved down their throat.
