I don't think I ever really did.
Even back in grade school, it felt like a chore, like a lie. You had to get a valentine card for everyone in the class, even the kids that you didn't like.
As time went by, thankfully, that ridiculous ritual came to an end. You could pick and choose who you showed your affections to on the day.
And that's my biggest problem with it. A lot of people wait until Valentine's Day to show the person they care about that they care in a deliberate, meaningful way.
There are 364 other days of the year when you could give someone flowers, or candy, or take them out for a nice dinner.
Valentine's Day is kind of a day for thoughless assholes making a token gesture of affection.
