Should I be concerned that my new boyfriend opted out of Valentine's Day?

I have been dating my new guy for a couple of months now. We have known each other slightly longer.

He confesses to me that he loves me, and I feel the same about him. However, he recently admitted to me he doesn’t want to “do the Valentine’s Day thing”.

I felt crushed initially. I thought the beginning stages of love were the times when you actually wanted to show your love for someone on Valentine’s Day.

However, I understand that the holiday is “played out” and in the past I have not had the best V-day experiences.

I would love some feedback. Are we really too invested in Valentine’s Day as a whole?
