6. Love it or hate it?
“Love it! I always send cards to my mates - and my
boyfriend of course.”
“I would prefer to go without it. I don't want gifts or money
or anything like that. Knowing that I'm appreciated and
that I can make others happy is good enough for me.”
“I got a card last year – but I still don’t know who sent it. I
haven’t got a girlfriend.”
“My mum sends me a card every year. It’s sort of sweet
but I think I’m getting a bit old for that now.”
“It’s just really humiliating. I’ve never received a
Valentine’s card in my life. A day to switch off my phone
because I know I’m not going to get any messages.”
7. Love it or hate it?
“My boyfriend sent me a text message last year on
Valentine’s Day. I suppose that’s kind of romantic but I’d
rather have a present or even a real card.”
“I sent an anonymous Valentine’s card to a boy in my
class when I was younger. Then my brother told him it
was from me. I was so embarrassed!”
“I’m single so it’s definitely irritating. It’s too commercial
anyway.”
“If a girl likes me I don’t need to waste money sending
her a card just because it’s a tradition.”
