\"Valentines<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that Valentine\u2019s Day has become monotonous for many of us<\/h3>\n

In fact, new research by Durex has found that nearly half (49%) of the survey participants have never looked forward to Valentine\u2019s Day, with 40% saying it\u2019s too much of a clich\u00e9.<\/p>\n

But what are we doing to break away from the boring routine?<\/p>\n

Well, nothing, it seems. Despite a whopping 64% of us not looking forward to February 14 as it\u2019s too commercial, a quarter of couples still plan to go out for a meal and a fifth will buy their partner flowers.<\/p>\n

Whilst we may think we owe it to our other half to carry out these timeless yet\u00a0tiresome traditions, 43% of couples say they want to cut the clich\u00e9s and do something different.<\/p>\n
