As an old and grumpy miser I put Valentines in the same category as New Years eve. IE all a massive money grabbing con. I reckon cooking up your own meal is the way to go. Shows off your thoughtfulness/skills and will work out cheaper. However, if you don't have a place to eat it or your cooking skills aren't that good then maybe ignore me.
I'm with you on this one @invertedcriss , every day is Valentines Day, my wife expects and gets no more attention or special treatment on Feb 14th because it's a massive commercial con!
