Your Most Pressing Valentine's Day Dilemmas - Solved!
By Laura Snyder
Got more Valentine's Day problems than there are liqueurs in a box of chocolates? We've got the answers. Just don't ask us how they get those cute little sayings on those pastel heart-shaped mints.
I hate Valentine's Day! Do I really have to celebrate?
We know you think it's just a fake holiday created by The Man to make us spend our money on tasteless gifts. But here's the thing. Your boycotting the entire holiday won't send a message to the folks at Hallmark. But it will send a message to your sweetheart: "I don't care enough about you to even buy a bad poem on a cheesy greeting card ." This will not go over well.
Okay, but I have no idea what to get. Can you help?
Put down the pink stuffed animal and the fancy chocolates. Valentine's Day makes it far to easy to live the cliché. Instead, try actually listening to your sweetheart. Think about something they might have mentioned in passing - taking up flying radio-controlled planes, learning French cuisine, going to a wine tasting - and expand on that idea. Talk to his or her friends for ideas. Still at a loss? Buy a set of luxurious satin sheets. Sexy! Unique! And something to play with after dinner!
We've only been dating a few weeks. What's appropriate?
No matter how casual your relationship now, an overly romantic gift might make things look a little too serious, too fast. A bouquet of unusual flowers and a card are safe and appropriate. If it's the early stages of something with serious potential, you might want to put in a little more thought and really take advantage of the opportunity.
I'm single. How can I make it through the day without choking on my candy?
Two words: love thyself. Buy yourself a bottle of bubbly, make some cookies, write love letters to your dog, your dad, your high school crush. Call your best friend. Watch that ridiculous movie you won't admit loving. Read a saucy story. Poke holes in the bottoms of all those fancy chocolates and only eat the ones you like. Remember, it'll all be over tomorrow.

or treat yourself to ice cream cuz u deserved that since u don't have anyone to share the speical day with.. or hang out with friends on valentine's day probably wil make the day more cheerful than spending the day alone but if u people had sidekick 2 or whatever u guys probably wud not feel alone cuz u wud have ims sending u saying happy valentine's day or I wud say happy blah valentine's day? 
Also, most of the gals I like are already taken by someone else.
