Where Valentines very well may be a "Card company created" occaision, we can't forget what it actually represents - it is a day that reminds us to do something special/nice for those who we care most about.
Not just significant others - but family and friends as well.
In our busy society of today - we NEED a day that reminds us/tells us to do nice things for people. It is shameful - but it is true.
If you truely think (and I am sure you would be right) that it is a "corporate holiday", then don't give in to the pressures to go out a buy dozens of cards and candies and jewelery and gifts....do something sweet, and thoughtful and kind. Make your own card, go out to dinner (or better yet stay in and cook dinner), do something memorable.
....Let's face it flowers and chocolates are not very original anyways and they garner no romance in most people....
But folks - the point is - let's not be too bitter about a day that is essentially just about love. It doens't matter that it is a fabricated day - it's designated meaning is important (or at least should be) to everyone - single or taken.
