Love and legends
In the third century AD, Roman law prohibited couples from marrying in church. Bishop Valentine of Terni married them anyway, which cost him his head on February 14, 269. So much for one of many legends. In the Roman Empire, the goddess of love Juno was commemorated on this day and women were given flowers. Another theory suspects that Valentine's customs originated in the minnesongs of the Middle Ages.
Whatever the case, Valentine's Day is the day of lovers. It has a long tradition in England and the USA in particular, but only came back into fashion in Germany in the 1950s.
Hearts, flowers, love greetings
In the past, couples usually gave each other flowers and chocolates, but now there is a real Valentine's Day boom. As soon as Christmas decorations have disappeared from the stores, hearts are making a comeback. Magazines are outdoing each other with tips for the most opulent Valentine's menus, the most grandiose declaration of love or the most spectacular gift. Woe betide anyone who forgets this day or attaches too little importance to it - then many couples even fall out.
Many singles feel downright marginalized in the face of the Valentine's boom. The longing for a partner is often particularly painful at these times, being alone is perceived as a flaw and triggers negative feelings. However, singles can use this to their advantage, as the chances of finding a partner on a singles exchange are particularly high at times like these.
It's worth searching now
Many people feel the same way. Their strategy: they register with a dating site, create a profile and are particularly active in their search. If you are looking for a partner, you should definitely take advantage of the opportunity and go online, register or update an existing profile and browse a little. So, get active too and register now with our Love for me singles exchange!
Not only are singles more active than usual in the online dating scene at the moment, but the willingness to flirt, get to know each other and fall in love has also increased significantly. And even those who are still single on this year's Valentine's Day have a good chance of spending the day of lovers together next year. Apart from that, couples should actually make every day a day of love and reaffirm it with little gifts instead of letting the commercial madness of Valentine's Day stress them out.
