How do you celebrate Valentine's Day? Sat Feb 10, 2007 17:57 pm  How do you celebrate Valentine's Day?
 

It's 3 days to St. Valentine's day. How do you guys celebrate it?

In Japan the girls are obliged to give the boys they have their eyes on, a special or a home made chocolate and give the other guys around her what they call 'giri choko'(it can be any candy).

And if the guy reciprocates, she will receive something on March 14,the 'white day'. On this day she will know whether the guys have the same feelings for her.

Personally, I don't like the idea of having the girls to initiate it and one guy told me once that many guys don't prefer it either because they don't like saying no to a girl and breaking her heart and that a true genleman will surely make the move first.

Still, not every man is a gentleman and they need to be pushed, don't they?

Valentine's Day Sat Feb 10, 2007 18:01 pm  Valentine's Day
 

I was always embarrassed by Valentine's Day, so I only went with girls who were also embarrassed by Valentine's Day or who could tolerate the fact that I don't like romantic rituals.

In American elementary schools, the little kids give Valentine cards to everyone in the class.

In American high schools, every day is Valentine's Day.

Glad to meet you, Nina Zara!

Interesting tradition. However, in my neck of the woods( like in a vast majority of countries) it’s much more typical when a man shows initiative. Smile
