It doesn't matter either way
I had a really bad V-day back in 1990.
I was a freshman in HS, and for some reason the school decided to send home mid-term reports. Mine did not look good so I got grounded. I still haven't gotten over it.
The world and the "system" enjoys ruining everything that is suppose to be fun.
Besides with holidays or "special" days, there are too many to keep up with. One's entire life would have to revolve around going through the motions. Some things have way too many days dedicated to it.

"Saint Valentine was a 3rd-century Roman priest or bishop who was martyred for defying Emperor Claudius II's ban on marriages for young men. He is often associated with love because he secretly performed weddings. He was brutally beaten and beheaded for this act."

@DrWatson I asked google, and it gave me this "AI Overview" (I chose the heart-shaped bullet).
There are multiple saints named Valentine, including a priest in Rome, a bishop in Terni, and a martyr in Africa. The Catholic Church's official list of saints includes about a dozen saints with the name Valentine.
Saints named Valentine
♡ St. Valentine of Rome
A priest who was arrested for marrying Christian couples in secret. He was executed on the Via Flaminia by Emperor Claudius II.
♡ St. Valentine of Terni
A bishop who healed a student whose head was stuck between his knees for three years. He was arrested by the prefect of Rome and beheaded.
♡ St. Valentine of Africa
A martyr who was executed in the Roman province of Africa, which is now Tunisia or Algeria.
♡ St. Valentine Berrio-Ochoa
A Spaniard who served as a bishop in Vietnam until he was beheaded in 1861. He was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1988.
Other saints named Valentine A priest from Viterbo, A papal missionary bishop to Raetia, A 5th-century priest and hermit, A Spanish hermit, and A virgin named Valentina who was martyred in 308.
The name "Valentine" comes from the Latin word valens, which means "worthy, strong, or powerful".
P.S. I discovered that many saint names apply to multiple saints when I was trying to figure out who the Grateful Dead song "St Stephen" refers to (there were 5 or 6 with that name). It make sense that many people would want to name their children after a saint, and some of those would go on to be beatified.

@ElwoodBlues Oops one more item on St Stephen. My guess is Garcia & Co were referring to the martyr of that name who died by stoning, only they had a different meaning of stoning in mind!!
