Valentine's Day over-commercialisation

Yesterday was Valentine's Day, today is my birthday.
Just like every year, Valentine's Day is yet again there for some heavy duty money making by a lot of companies. Nothing wrong with that, but just like everything else the purpose of that day has lost its touch.

It is disgusting to watch how society forces people to try and be romantic on Valentine's Day, just because some idiot says so. As a result, Valentine's Day has become the most unromantic day of the year.

As far as I can tell, some people in a relationship always want to force their partners to prove themselves again and again. This can cause resentment and problems in the long run if these things happen too often or are forced a lot.

Keep in mind: Artificial romance is not like the real thing.
