Plus, if you really loved you special someone, everyday would be 'Valentines Day', you would make every day a special day for them, why is it that we need a day to express our love for our boyfriends/girlfriends? Surely we can just do that on any day, because after all, we are supposed to love them.

On top of that, I'm single ATM. Even if I wasn't I'm not gonna go all out on a special day to say 'I love you', what about the other 364.25 days in the year? You don't deserve anything then?

Most people live really hectic lives, and don't have the time, nor the funds to splash out with expensive meals, holidays and other things every day of the year.
So Valentines day serves as a day where couples who can set aside and really do something romantic.
Of course they can do it on any other day of the year, but if you have a job, live a hectic lifestyle, and don't have too much disposable income, as most people do, then it is a nice "excuse" to splash out on your loved one.
Without Valentines day, people wouldn't have this excuse and so they would probably never do something overly romantic.
