For many, I am sure hearing about upcoming Valentine's Day can be particularly confusing. I'm sure this holiday isn't as wide spread as some might think but the concept is quite simple. On February 14th, girls give chocolate to the person they are romantically interested in. Of course, chocolate can be given to others (義理チョコ) but generally the ( Read more... )

What?

No, you totally got it wrong.

Ah, did I? I did make sure to specify that different cultures...

No way! A guy should definitely give chocolates to a girl he likes on Valentine's Day. Chocolates at least! Otherwise, she'll be really mad.

You really suck at dating, huh?

I...have never been on a date.

Oh, right. That is coming up, isn't it?

fuelefficient February 10 2010, 02:54:48 UTC

Did you have any plans?

skyruns February 10 2010, 02:56:21 UTC

...well, I think maybe send a few cards. I'm not exactly expecting any chocolate.

You may be surprised. In anime, girls seem to be shy until Valentine's Day comes around.

That is a ridiculous holiday.

fuelefficient February 10 2010, 03:05:59 UTC

Why do you say that?

convallariaceae February 10 2010, 03:10:35 UTC

This sounds like an absolutely ridiculous practice. Why do you humans participate in such pointless and stupid things?

fuelefficient February 10 2010, 03:12:09 UTC

Valentine's Day is about appreciation. While it may seem pointless to some, it does make a person feel better to know that others care.

Wow, really? I never knew that!

I'm just so used to things in the United States, that I've never really thought about what other cultures do for Valentine's Day.

Thank you for sharing that!

Ah, you are rather welcome. Since America-san does have the benefit of having the most popular culture, things are usually done his way.

thechoreography February 11 2010, 03:29:31 UTC

Well, while it is true that America does have a big influence on the world, it is definitely important to show other cultures that we can still care about them.

By the way you stated the end of your second sentence, this America guy sounds like a bit of a bully.

fuelefficient February 11 2010, 04:29:32 UTC

America-san is hardly a bully. However, being a world leader does have its benefits.
