My OH is hopelessly unromantic.
Out of 26 Anniversaries - he has remembered two.
They weren't consecutive.
Good thing I don't go gooey for these occasions.
Have been known to Lay-By Birthday & Christmas Gifts - give him the dockets - tell him go pick em up & wrap nicely - please.
You should be so licky. 
Peter is my third husband. Had to wait almost 70 years before I found him. Third time lucky and I'm not giving him up until my last breath.
I have become a selfish old witch.

That's the thing with some men though Helen isn't it, everyone is different and that's what makes them wonderful xx

I'm never happy to be single. The great thing about a holiday like Valentines day, is it might give someone who would otherwise be too shy to tell another he, or she has a crush on them, the perfect excuse. Give them a valentine, card, with some candy and flowers. Write on that card a short summary of how you really feel. Such a romantic start to a relationship, let the big and small business have their involvment in it, and once the relationship is started, then one can choose to give the flowers, candy, or whatever at their lesure.
Joanie - why not do it on any day.
We are all - in our own way - shy.
None of us want to take a chance - and - get hurt.
But on the other hand - as they say - 'this is no dress rehearsal' - you only get one chance at life.
Don't squander it - live it - take that chance - it may never come again.
Forget yourself for a while & get to know someone else - you may be very surprised.
