Valentines day was yesterday just in case anyone forgot. Did you all have a good day? did your someone special do something romantic to express their love for you?

I'm a bit concerned about this commercial holiday, and what exactley it represents, i'm in the opinion that its a good and bad idea. The good first:

1. It gives an oppertunity for those who dont do romantic things very often with their special someone, to do something seet.

2. It gives an oppertunity for someone to let their crush know they have a secret admirer.

now the bad:

1. It is afterall a commercial holiday, some people are sucked into buying expensive gifts without taking the time or the effort to really appreciate their special someone.

2. Expectations can be evil, have you ever expected something on valentines day and not gotten it?

Unfortunatley both point number 1 of good and point number 2 of bad happened to me yesterday. Me and my special someone dont often do romantic stuff, so it was a great oppertunity for me to take the time to do something special for my special someone. Unfortunatley my special someone didnt do anything special for me :'( Usually i would have sulked about this for a week before my special someone realised why they were getting the cold shoulder, now its only been 12 hours since valentines day, i'm wanting to give him more of an oppertunity than the 24 hours he had on valentines day to do something romantic.... how long should i wait before i explain to him why i'm a bit miffed? also do you think i'm justified in how i'm feeling at the moment? should i be upset that my expectations on valentines day were not met? Do you think it is reasonable to have expectations on valentines day? or do you think it should be a completley unconditional love thing?

Expectations are a cruel thing....
