The Valintines day trap

   Let me start by saying that I have nothing against setting aside a day to celebrate romance.  As a matter of fact I approve of it at least in principle, But from what I've seen this is not what it's about any more.
   There are three main issues I see as the problem;

1. Your Expected to do something which if you ask me make it seem some how less sincere
2. It seems to me to be  more about the romantic act then actual romance
3. lastly at least for today is the general focus on couples as thou signal people are some how less romantic
