It is the day for hopeless romantics. Or it would be if they weren't so hopeless.
More than half of women - 54 per cent - can't stand Valentine's Day. And the reason, it would seem, is the ineptitude of their other halves.

Even worse, 12 per cent have been dumped on February 14, while 7 per cent have been stood up.
Indeed the occasion seems to be more popular with men. Only 37 per cent of men said they disliked Valentine's Day.
Only 12 per cent of women said they loved the most romantic day of the year, compared with a quarter of men.
Events company CitySocialising.com questioned 1,343 people about their attitude to Valentine's Day and whom their ideal date would be.
It wasn't film-star looks or a billion-pound bank balance that proved the biggest draw for women.
Instead, they went for men with a sense of humour, with TV presenter Dermot O'Leary (36 per cent) narrowly beating DJs Johnny Vaughan (29 per cent) and Chris Moyles (27 per cent).
Sanchita Saha, Managing Director of CitySocialising.com, said: "I was staggered when we went through the findings and saw that women are now getting fed up with Valentines Day."
