There are a few stories as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts think that it originated from St. Valentine - A Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him.
Even today seemingly unfair punishments are connected to Valentines day. Valentines day is a very tricky day for most men. It can turn out to be all sweetness and romance and getting your feet (and maybe other parts) massaged, but one wrong move and it can all go horribly wrong and your stuck in the dog house - do not pass go or collect £200!!!
We have all heard how Valentines day is too commercial, and it's a bit lame if you only tell your lover, girlfriend, boyfriend, wife or husband that you love them on this one-day of the year. But when your partner says this to you, do you believe her? When she says "Lets not bother giving gifts this Valentines day", does she really mean that you are going to do just that?
Some men have been known to be mislead by these seemingly straight forward messages. This is the fastest route to the doghouse.
Denouncing Valentines Day is said in the same way as "Do as you like" when you want to spontaneously spend large amounts of money on a new car, Motorbike or Nintendo Wii.
When she says "Lets not bother giving gifts this Valentines day", what she really means is, "Here is your chance to be really romantic and surprise me with something fantastic this Valentines day". She disguises what she's saying because she knows that being romantic isn't one of your strong points so she's giving you a head start from the off set.
