Weekly Poll: Is Valentine's Day Fun or Stressful for You?

By , About.com GuideFebruary 12, 2007

Follow me on:

Valentine's Day is meant to be a day that's set aside to celebrate and revel in love. However, it can also be a stressful day for some. Whether it's because of the pressure to come up with the 'perfect' romantic gesture for a significant other, the reminder of not being in a 'perfect' relationship, or the pain of lost love, Valentine's Day can be a day of stress and anxiety for many people. How do you experience this February 14th?

Feel free to discuss your answer (especially if it's "other") in the 'comments'.

(1) Jenice (looking forward to Valentines) :

I took the survey and was surprised to see that for most Valentine’s Day is a source of stress and anxiety. Here’s hoping those find ways to cope better this year and that Valentines Day this year brings less stress and more happiness.

Another holiday ruined by commercialism! I loathe Valentine’s day. I should be able to show my lover that I love her when I want to. Having a designated day for it is ridiculous. However, the peer pressure is tremendous.
