Valentine's Day is a holiday that primarily celebrates romantic relationships. Couples are encouraged to display their affection for one another in public, as well as buy presents for each other, some presents tackier than others.

For various reasons, not everyone is enamored with Valentine's Day; some outright despise it. This may be due to various factors, including lack of romantic involvement with anyone else on the part of the hater, their disdain for what they believe to be unnecessary spending, or if they are romantically involved, because they feel that Valentine's Day merely ''existing'' cheapens the displays of affection, due to the fact that one is expected to act more romantic on Valentine's Day. And it's particularly irritating if they find themselves AloneAmongTheCouples.
