 Should you really care about Valentine's Day to begin with? Especially considering the materialistic nature it now endures where in order to show someone you love them that you MUST buy them extravagant gifts. Is that the way you want someone to show you love? Do you really want them to show their love in a forced fashion just because it's a certain date on the calendar?
Valentine's is merely only an arbitrary day that society tries to force others into showing each other love, which is not what it should be like. I just think it's better to show your love everyday and if you are giving gifts, it should come from your heart and given at any point of the year and should not be forced. Valentines Day forces one to give you a gift and is very contrived. Being forced to get a gift is not really showing love, which should be more random and given out of a choice than a forced decision.
But if you really love him and he really loves you, celebrating Valentines day or not should not really matter to begin with. If you want to go celebrate it then find a way to do it for him that does not require going out. I just think it's more special to celebrate your love in a way that isn't forced.

 Yes, there are plenty of people that don't really care for V-Day. Considering you think it's weird that he doesn't, I take it that the V-Day celebration is important to you? If it is, let him know that you like to celebrate. Most men will celebrate even if they don't care for it just to make the woman happy. If you tell him you want to celebrate and he brushes it off and doesn't do anything, it just means he's selfish and what he wants and his views are more important than making you happy.

 No. Not everyone celebrates Valentine's Day.
Some guys don't particularly care for V-Day, it's really more for the women.
In fact, I could take it or leave it some years. It's just another day..I don't need a day to prove my love to my husband when it's something I do on a daily basis.
