Relationships, valentines, and the godforsaken L word

Riiiight, so it's valentines soon WOOOOOOO :D
time to not leave the house for a whole day in fear of mutiple kracken disease getting me (i.e: feeling quite sick with not being able to look anywhere without there being a couple eating each others faces off)

so, one day a year, when couples show their love to each other by doing something romantic...
why the hell does everyone need ONE day a year to show their love and respect for each other? :/
surely if they're soooo in love with each other, they wouldn't need to devote a day to romanticise each other? i mean, i'm not bashing couples that do spend the time all starry eyed because it's the 14th.. i've just never understood why there's a designated day to show affection when it should be like a constant flow. like i reckon it means more if someone was extraromantic on a day that wasnt valentines, cos then it's like "shiiiit they kinda mean it n it's not like they feel they HAVE to do it cos of valentines o.o" it's sweeter

anyway, i'm not sure if this even makes sense cos like, i'm quite hyper and also cynical and in rant-mode so yeaaah :)

ALSO: disclaimer (cos i think it's needed)
I'm not going on this rant because i'll be spending valentines single, as i'm sure that'll be a common thought like "oh she's only being like this cos she's single" nahh love, i've always thought it :)

facebook users. have you seen one of the most legendary groups in existence? "[blank] is in a relationship.... AGAIN?!"
what is it with people being so insecure they feel they can't be happy unless theyre with someone? i mean, sure, everyone wants to feel loved, everyone wants to be cuddled and stuff, that doesn't mean you HAVE to be in a relationship to be happy :/ it's like.. as children we're dependant on our parents, then as teenagers there's a sense of a similiar security with your relationship status and being with someone for the sake of being with someone.
to be honest though, i don't see why teenage hormones kick in so early.. i mean the number of teenagers who've lost their virginity before the legal age is unreal. why is there even a constant need in teenagers especially to have boyfriends and girlfriends? i'm hardly the maturist of girls but its like society just demands it now and it's not worth the heartbreak, honestly, i mean i'm lucky in the sense that my heart is still intact, but jesus.. theres your whole life for relationships, and it's not like you're going to marry the first person you kiss. I'm failing to understand the big deal.

I've come to realise after the last couple of months what a relationship is made up of.
first 3 months, everyone's fine and dandy.. 6 months into it, minor arguments, you begin to understand your true feelings for significant other. 9 months onwards, you get a general idea of whether it's going to last or not, arguments get more serious and its a test of patience.

Cynical, i know, but too bad, thats the way i see it.

Sooo, now. The biiiig L word :O
Does it even have a meaning now? it's thrown around far too much, 3 weeks in.. "ILOVEYOU" piss off. i guess the meaning of the word represents your own interpretation of love
like so if you throw it around all the time, it doesnt mean very much
but like, i guess you can really tell how strong the feeling is the longer you leave it.
And just cos you've said you love someone, doesn't mean it's law to use it everyday, thats half of how it becomes meaningless.
Same sort of situation as if you've just broken up with someone, just cos youre not together anymore and you might be feeling a bit bitter about the situation, don't give me that "i never loved them" speech. either you did and you're too proud to admit it, or you didn't at all.

Dont get me wrong, i'm a culprit of throwing the word around too. i'm still deciphering the meaning of the damned word. but i've come to this conclusion:
i get attached easily, then i fall in love too quick but i won't admit it becuase i dunno if it IS love or if it's the attachment confusing me. And well, i think of it like this:

If you can fall in love that easily, you can probably fall out of it with the click of someones fingers too, i guess love isn't so fine and dandy, it's really quite viciously malicious :/
