I wonder this every year, but do you really have to give your papa-katsu partners Valentine’s chocolate?
This content is machine-translated.
I give it to the men I’m seeing out of consideration, and they do say thank you, but every one of them accepts it with this “Well, of course” kind of look on their face.
It feels like all the PJs are expected to give their papas something. If you don’t, it’s almost awkward.
There’s such a difference between the genuinely happy reaction I get when I give chocolate to an ordinary guy who isn’t a papa and the superficial-looking happiness from papas, so it hardly feels worth giving anything. I kind of wish this whole papa-katsu Valentine’s ritual would just disappear.

I agree with Kazu.
There have been several questions about chocolate today, but even in everyday life, some people give it and some don’t. So if you want to give your papa chocolate, I think you should.
It’s not something you have to do, so just do whatever feels right for you.
I think most people give it as a small gesture of consideration to help keep things smooth with their papa.

I haven’t given out obligatory Valentine’s chocolates in years.
Friendship chocolates between young girls were trendy for a while, but that was even more ridiculous.
If you can tell someone is only giving it to you out of a sense of obligation, it doesn’t make you happy anyway. That’s all there is to it.

The Nespresso capsules that just arrived came with some chocolates as a freebie. That actually made me kind of happy, lol.

If you don’t want to give anything, then don’t. I think it’s best not to schedule a date around the 14th.
I don’t want any Fuu since I can’t take it home, and I’d rather not deal with giving something in return in March.
That said, if your papa seems like he’s hoping for something, it might be better to give him a little something—it’ll probably help maintain a good relationship.

As more people have started feeling the same way you do, I think the custom of giving obligatory chocolates is on the decline and close to disappearing.
The chocolate industry also seems worried that sales will drop.
But if men don’t seem very happy to receive them, that’s probably just your imagination. They may not get excited about it, but deep down, they’re actually quite pleased.
So giving one can have a surprisingly big impact.
When you consider that a chocolate costing around 1,000 yen could help keep things going smoothly between you in the future, giving him one doesn’t seem like such a big deal.
That said, if you really don’t want to, I think it’s better not to give one.
Men don’t enjoy receiving something that was given reluctantly, either.

I’ve thought this several times today: if you want to give something, then give it; if you don’t, you don’t have to. It’s as simple as that.
Saint Valentine’s martyrdom has nothing to do with chocolate—it’s simply a matter of whether you want to go along with the confectioners’ marketing.
