For me, love should be celebrated everyday. Love is a whole lot more than heart-shaped chocolate, pink candy, and red roses. Don't forget about the possibilities of migraines, toothaches, and thorns prickling your fingers too. If you're all brave and strong enough to get through all the ugliness possible and still choose to stick around, then congratulations. I sincerely hope that it's real love that will last.
If you're not its celebrators, don't take part on any of it. It's just that simple. Believe me, if people want to go courting and doing something 'more' that you fear or suspect because of that - who says they have to wait until Valentine's Day? Why not give them the idea that 'every action bears consequences' that they may not be really ready for?

"So you don't celebrate Valentine's Day."
"Nope."
"But you don't object that either."
"That's right. I'm being neutral about this whole idea."
"You can't stay neutral all the time. You're bound to pick a side somehow."
"Well, I already have. Mine. Wanna join?"
