“Love” in the sense of “no score” in tennis dates to 1792 and means “playing for love” or, in other words, playing for nothing. Other scholars claim that "love" as a tennis score is a corruption of the French word for egg, "L'oeuf," because of the egg's resemblance to a zero.

Engagement rings are often worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because the ancient Greeks maintained that that finger contains the vena amoris, or the “vein of love,” that runs straight to the heart. The first recorded wedding rings appear in ancient Egypt, with the circle representing eternity as well as powerful sun and moon deities.

The enduring symbol of love, Cupid (or Eros) is said to have come from Chaos (“The Yawning Void”) and represents the primitive forces of love and desire.

Roses are a traditional symbol of love and, depending on their color, can suggest different nuances of love. For example, red roses indicate passion and true love. Light pink suggests desire, passion, and energy; dark pink suggests gratitude. Yellow roses can mean friendship or jealousy. A lavender or thornless rose can mean love at first sight. White roses mean virtue or devotion. Some roses even combine colors to created more complicated meanings.

Love is a powerful powerful thing! It can create worlds and destroy them as well, in a heart beat.

My a favorite thing on Valentines Day is the dinner out. Last year we were removing old varnish from woodwork all day and did not make out out to dinner until almost closing time. We were both exhausted and smelled of paint stripper. It is one of those occasions that we do not skip in all of our years of marriage.

The roots of St. Valentine's Day can be traced back to the Roman fertility festival of Lupercalia. On Lupercalia, a young man would draw the name of a young woman in a lottery and would then keep the woman as a sexual companion for the year.

"Cupid" , or better yet the idea of Cupid was created in 1833 by a greeting card company called cupidious greeting card co.
Cupid was their mascot for the holiday one year and it made such an impact on consumers that they stuck with it! ...the rest is history!

Nah I'm just kidding. I made all that up
But Valentines day is awesome and I can't wait to spoil my gf. Lol

European males subconsciously seek out women whose waist circumference is about 70% of their hips. Beauty icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Venus de Milo, and even Twiggy had a waist ratio of exactly 70%.
