I'm a little out of the loop on this holiday, is a "Valentine" simply a card or chocolates, etc?
So if I asked someone "to be my Valentine", that wouldnt make any sense???

yea I know that ,,,,,, the thing is im wondering if you can use the holiday to get a hot date if your not currently attached, how do you go about asking that? i.e. "will you be my Valentine?", Im wondering if that even makes sense as to what it actually means

IMO, Valentines is for couples only. I would personally feel awkward asking a girl out for Valentines.

It's too bad our resident relationship expert, Clean_cut, was banned. He knew all about dealing with the ladies. |

"Be my valentine" is proper usage of the word. A "valentine" is also a card. Sometimes anonymous. Basically, you dump some money out on some dumb ass crap for your girl or else you are going to have to do some begging and apologizing. The best gifts are a big bunch of expensive horseshit that is delivered in front of her friends, making her the focking center of attention. Like a dozen expensive roses delivered by courier to her workplace. ohhh! ahhh! $100 down the tubes!! is it worth it? i guess  NOT |

It's a holiday for womenz and a trap for men/guys, because thier expectations are very high. If you don't show up with flowers, chocolates, and dinner (which have become considered lame by todays standards), acting like a guy from a soap opera, in touch with you feminine side, the Marlboro Man and James Bond all rolled into one while you attempt to wine, dine, and dance, you are worthless. The arrow that was intended to come from Cupid now goes into her quiver to be launched in anger at you at some point in time when you have a disagreement. Some womenz will save these arrows and launch a volley and you are on the other end of the battlefield trying to protect yourself like a scene out of Braveheart.
That's why I just send out the Valentine cards that little kids use, with those stupid heart candies that have dopey sayings on them followed by dinner.. Usually it will get a giggle. |

It is a Conspiracy lead by Hallmark, DeBeers, Russell Stover/Godiva, FTD and various Female groups.
Come up with a "holiday" where women get expensive gifts and attention. The Merchandisers get to make lots of money. The women get gifts for no reason (and buy their men some Ties or Cologne). Look for "Sweetest" Day to become more and more popular in the near future (sales are a bit down on Valentines Day, so they had to do something to pump them up). AFARR |

Like I said in another thread, Valentine's Day is an intrinsically vacuous holiday. It's overly propagandized and turned into a holiday specifically for candy/card/jewelry manufacturers.
If you want to ask her out, ask her out. Who cares what day it is. <shrug> |

it is a children's holiday. adults don't take it seriously. If you are single, you can joke about it with friends. If you are married, you should buy her some chocolates and maybe dinner. Don't do anything that will get you arrested. |
