It didn't even cross my mind that hey, this might be important for a relationship. So I'm wondering what it means to all of you.
What expectations do you have on that day?
What expectations does your partner have?
What are the normal social expectations of this occation?

My fiance and I love to celebrate the day by spending all day on Skype together. We get each other gifts that are special and show our love. Valentine's Day is extra special for us, because it's the anniversary of the first time we said I love you. Lots of couples don't really care about Valentine's Day, but others expect a nice date or gift.
Thankfully my bf and I agree on this one or else it'd be a tricky little thing. We both think it's commercial hype, but totally get the wanting to appreciate your love one. Since it's an LDR, at most we call and wish each other.
But personally I wouldn't want to do anything involving spending money on that day anyway cos I feel everything is over priced. At the most, spend time together. If we wanna go on a date, I'd say do it any other day. But that's just me.
Not as important as the day we made it official between us BUT I use the holiday as an excuse to go shopping just for him so I can send him a package š

Valentineās Day is actually my boyfriendās birthday! We celebrate more of his birthday than Valentineās Day and I like it that way :) Heāll be back that weekend so weāll probably have a nice date and exchange gifts (he just gets me something small for Valentineās Day, nothing too big; I splurge on him for his birthday, however)
I like it as a special day to say and do something nice with a special someone, but that can be small or extravagant depending on my mood! I donāt feel the need for presents though. I think in an LDR though, Iād like something a little sweet to make it feel a bit special. (P.S. Just realised I need a thesaurus. š)
Itās actually our anniversary, and it will be our one year this year. I think heās going to come visit me for it, which is very exciting!
Itās important in our relationship, we make small gifts to each other. Before our LDR started weād go on dates to celebrate it or cook for each other :) This is our first year as a LDR couple (been in a relationship for almost 3 years now) and we were going to have a Skype night which wouldāve included eating together (even tho thereās a 3 hour time difference) and a talk and movie night :) but lucky sheās flying over instead š
I expect a "happy valentine's day", and a short call. Will get my present when he is here next month
