| Our very first ever official Eros Day Competition was on Tuesday, August the 14th 2007 and to celebrate we asked everyone to tell us why Eros Day is more Romantioc than St Valentines Day???
It was won after much deliberation and a few minor scuffles amongst the Gods (especially between Eros and Zeus) by Maria Hindmarch. She actually reminded us all of the true meaning of Eros Day and it dawned on us that The Rockmantic Godsarians of Love has a Hero in its name already... Which is Cos-bloody-Mic in our book... So a really BIG Almighty THANKYOU and you will always be a Hero to us forever and we welcome you to feast at our table on Mount Olympus anytime you like!. Don't worry if you can't make it, you can enjoy the next best thing a romantic weekend for two in the Lowestoft with Roses, Champagne and £250 cash to spend. So without any further ramblings our Eros Day 2007 winning entry is :- As you can imagine it was a day of great celebration, endless Love and eternal laughter. But more importantly it was the day The Rockmantic Godsarians of Love landed without permision on the Earth and sang "My Love is like a Red Red Rose"! We hope you enjoy, but please remember we are better florists than we are rock gods :) Here is the complete list of all our fabulous Eros Day 2007 entries!!!

Name: Julie Hinson he was beautiful and inspiring and used a bow and arrows to get his point across a heavenly mix of harps and pipes Name: Amanda Stark he is greek so would have had a tanned, sexy body and the charm of a greek waiter Name: Sarah Laycock A cool dude who's handy with both his arrow and wings.

You will be totally amazed, wobbly on your legs and dazed. Because Eros the God of Love, has hit you from heaven above. Name: Helen Bowden Eros is the basis for erotica, which is far sexier than St valentine, who was just a smelly frenchman! Name: Warrick Howard Because Eros is the god of love, lust an intercourse... St. Valentine shares his name with a dusty Austrian village. Name: Florence Cross You can rearrange the name Eros into rose - that's more romatin than alien vent!!! Name: Adrian Bold Who knows! Name: mrs aine flynn he was the first universal emblem for love which the world can relate to. Name: Elizabeth Orton The clue is in their names. Saint Valentine was obviously too saintly for true love, where with Eros you get Rose, the flower of romance. Name: Jennifer Doig The Greeks were far more sexy than the Romans! Trust me, I have a University degree in Latin and Ancient Greek and the Greeks were far far more groovy! Name: Sharon Reed It is not so wideley celebrated and hasn't been turned into a commercialised day luike Valentines. Name: Maureen Veronica Turner Warm summer weather. roses, Champagne Much more romantic than February rain!! Name: MRS C GRIFFITHS FEBRUARY WEATHER'S NOT TOO GOOD AUGUST IS MORE STABLE SO MANY VALENTINES DINING OUT THAT WE CAN'T GET A TABLE Name: elizabeth mcnelis Eros the Greek God of Love has to be more romantic than a Saint!! I am sure he would create the most romantic day that would be etched on my mind forever! Name: ann williams eros is the god of love and without him, we would not have any love in the world, it is not all about commercial value as valentines day is, it is deep and meaningful and private Name: Grace Garland It has yet to be commercialised and my husband would not feel that he had to buy me flowers on this day so all the more special if he did! Name: Catherine Pearson Love in the cold is not so funny Better to do it when its sunny! Name: tonya eros day is so much sooner for me to tell the man i love: i let you go once before and life took many turns even though you're miles away the flame of my love for you still burns i can't wait for the time when i'm again in your warm embrace until then then....i'll just remember the warmth of your face Name: Ben because eros is the god of love, brings joy to the world and people all around, what could be more special than a day to celebrate him?

Name: amanda clyde when you are truly in love, you want to celebrate every day and one day is not enough, to show someone you really care, and that you will always be there, so two days to feel special and celebrate this is fantastic and deserves a great big kiss.xxxxxxxx Name: Jane DArcy Valentine was a man who apparently gave his life for a couple in love. This may make him the Saint for love, but a violent death is hardly the most romantic image! On the other hand Eros was the Greek god of love, lust and sex!! I know which one I would prefer! He is always presented as a slightly cheeky, naughty chap, which is better than a rather dull religious sort. Name: Moira Lindsay St Valentines Day has become an excuse for companies to rip off lovers all over the world, it should be about people declaring their love for each other, either openly or secretly, not about spending indecent sums of money. Eros day is more importanr because it is the fullfillment of love that is being celebtared, in todays society, eros would be more appropriate than St Valentine. Name: michael richard squires How much closer to EROTIC is EROS,and the perfect anagram for the your company to boot, yes?

Name: linda thomason Roses, petals, balloons, champagne EROS is a ROSE by any name! Name: Richard Pickles Valentines Day equals expensive cards and teddy bears and little thought.Eros means deep intense thoughts of love, proper love.So follow my ideal live life like Steinman : never worry about the future because sooner or later it will be the past and do anything for love. Name: annabenbow IT HAS A ROSE IN ITS NAME EROS Name: Ford Well, Eros was a God with magical mythical powers. Erupting love everywhere. Didn't care whether they were a Prince or Pauper, a Cinderella or a Princess. I close my eyes, and imagine pastelpetals floating around me, ensconcing me in peace and tranquility. He wasn't a troublemaker like St Valentine, inflicting pain and mis-matching. He deserved an ASBO. He was dressed as a cherub, but he was a fake. He hurt a lot of people with his form of archery! Name: byron lewis Eros day – a day so full of passion Unlike Valentines – with soppy cards now the fashion No rhymes of roses red or violets blue Eros day romance between me and my love so true Name: Lesley Pritchard 37 years ago I was born on February 14th (valentines Day) thusmaking this date MY excuse to be pampered and a big bonansa of fun and food and frolicing, however when I go anywhere its all about anybody, not me. I would like 14th FEb to be my birthday and 14th August EROS day to be my birthday and a half celebration with another excuse to fun and frolic, well everybody else gets 2 Name: Patricia Starkey Eros with his bow and arrow Aims straight for the heart Ensuring love between boy and girl Who hopefully will never part. A valentine to your loved one May well do the trick But Eros’s arrow through her heart Is more of a sure fired hit. So though she might like a red red rose Next Valentine’s Day – or even a ring Surely an arrow from the God of Love On Eros Day would make her heart sing. Name: linda negbenebor Eros is the GOD of love so who else could help you get in the romantic mood better. Name: Helen Harrison St Valentine is out there all by himself but there will always be lots of 'eroes. Name: Miss Donna Eros is a love god Much better than a Valentine bod! Name: David Howe Saint Valentines day has been sanctified by the major churches.Demystified,tidied up to fit victorian expectations.Eros on the other hand is older and goes back to the days before Rome was built.Overtones of a pagan world of heroes and gods on Mount Olympos Name: Anna Lomax A rose clutched between his teeth, in his socks and string vest; Stands my Hero my Eros, God of life, love and Sex! Name: susan oliver Old St Val is past his prime, Now its time for Eros to shine. Eros with his little Bow, Will show St val how to make love flow. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Name: Jonathan Forsyth Eros is an anagram of rose which is very romantic whereas Saint Valentines Day has "Intestinal Navels Day" which isn't quite so. Name: Cherylyn Waite You have to hand it to Eros, he was the Barry White of love. To celebrate the joy of love twice a year, a further excuse to badger my boyfriend for chocolates and flowers as its a noted celebratory day!! well, I cant knock it. We need to celebrate love more and be happy!! Good on Eros I say. Name: Leah Holt It's not a commercial event, it would be recieved by my gorgeous boyfriend as a complete romantic gesture, and not because its the done thing. Name: josie cullis because i will be full of love and some good loving Name: Jennifer Brown It's less commercialised, warmer and hopefully you can do things like a walk on the beach or have a romantic picnic outdoors, all of which you can't do on Valentine's Day Name: Diane Many of the current legends that characterise Saint Valentine were invented in the fourteenth century in England by a man named Mr Woolworths who owned a small failing corner shop in East Sussex, whereas Eros was a proper GOD! A god of lust, love, and intercourse, he was also unscrupulous, mischievous and charismatic, he understood that in order to keep romance alive one must never become predictable nor stale and so it is born that Eros day is for the true romantics (and also those stalker types that get rather obessive, those that give you a love CD on your one week, one month etc anniversary but hey ho, a free CD is a free CD ;) ). Name: Alex Prichard because it's a surprise day, and much less commercialised (if at all!) Name: Rachel Gladwin Eros didn't come and go in a heaving rush,he is the god of erotica!! Name: Andrea Cook Because eros is the god of love Name: Sarah Ball February is a bit too cold for romance. August is sizzlin, and perfect for sexy summer lovin'. Name: Steph Lord It's a second chance in the year to be Erotic, Romantic and Overtly Sexy! Name: Darren Knowles It is more romantic than valentines day because it is the day before my birthday and it would be the one evening a year when my husband and i like to try and make time for ourselves. Name: Colin Coddington Saint Valentines Day is for predictable romantics whereas Eros Day is for true love gods Name: Nicola Purdy Valentines day always strikes me as a bit cheesy..the celebtation of romantic love portrayed by chocolates and flowers but Eros day is about passionate love and sexuality which is so much better (and more fun!)than chocolates and flowers - passion is more romantic than that cheesey stuff!! Name: Lesa Vaughan Saint Valentines day is my birthday Name: Rachel Berry It is in Summertime and thats got to be a lot more romantic as you can show some flesh and not cover up in thick Winter woolies! The flowers are in bloom and you can walk about hand in hand appreciating the weather and not freezing to death! Name: LORNA WILLANS You don't give cards you give love. Name: karen munnings valentines is all lovely dovey, and a day where your expected to splash out. Eros should represent a different meaning. Strong, lusty, serious, affectionate propper love so you shouldnt buy crappy teddy bears and cheap chocolates on this day. This is the day that you should truly show just how much you love somebody behind closed doors -if you catch me!!! Name: susannah southurst with valentines day its forced on youi Eros day is spurr of the moment day Name: Charlotte Kelly There is no pressure put upon people. It's just a lovely romantic day for couples. Name: Michelle Edwards It's not been ruined by the pressure to be part of a now commercially driven not heart or romance driven day! What better way to say I Love You than when its least expected! Name: jay singadia It is something different as it sounds more erotic than fluffy! I think the world needs more romance! BR> Name: Charlotte Corrish Because there are very few people who are celebrating it unlike Valentines day which has sadly become very commercialised. Name: valerie West it's in August, summer time and lovely weather allows you to have lovely strolls along the beach after sundown ;) Name: Alexandra Cottam Eros Day is more romantic than Saint Valentines Day because as it is in August you are more likely to sit outside and eat a lovely meal in the evening together, go for leisurely strolls in the warm sunset and lie on the grass looking up at the stars together. You can't really do those things in February! Name: dan holmes Its so much more unexpected that its easier to get what I'm after from my beautiful girlfriend. Name: Joanna Smith I would much rather celebrate my love for my partner on a day dedicated to cupid, the God of Love and Romance than a martyred and suffering saint! Name: claire heywood as it's not comercialised you actually feel like you're being romantic because you want to not because you're expected to be. Name: daniel because he not only touches the heart of all but the minds and souls of those who he stikes. Name: Tony Pawley If Music is the food of Love and Angels really do play Harps then Eros is surely the Conductor of Enchanted Love Name: Andy Sullivan the commercial vultures havn't sucked the romance out of it yet. My wife and i have celebrated such unusual aniverserys since we married hundreds of years ago (don't tell her but the best thing i ever did) Name: MISS SARAH ELSDON BECAUSE IT IS TRADITIONAL, AND LESS MARKETED. VALENTINES DAY HAS LOST ITS APPEAL FOR MANY, BECAUSE IT ALL SEEMS TO BE ABOUT PUTTING UP PRICES, AND MAKING AS MUCH MONEY FOR THE CARD SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS AS POSSIBLE. T HIS IS A MUCH BETTER IDEA, AND I, FOR ONE WILL USE IT AS A CHANCE TO SHOW MY PARTNER HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME. Name: Stacey Wood It is more romantic because it doesnt have all the commercial rubbish like valentines day PLUS it is very close to my partners birthday so its nice to get him practical presents for his birthday and some slushy romantic stuff (he couldnt give two hoots about) around the same time!! Name: Reena Thakrar its less commercial Name: Linda Marchant Why would the messenger be more romantic than the God? St Valentine brings roses, Eros is a rosE in another arrangement. Name: sharon mead the weathers better! Name: Sue Bell Eros was not saintly...he was erotoic..how much more romantic can you get?? Name: rachel ringwood you can be soo much more naughty! Name: SUSAN CARIA IT IS MORE EXCLUSIVE Name: M. POCKETT It isn't a commercial enterprise(yet)! Name: Tara McQuitty Valentines day is so over commercialised it totally destroys the romance and spontaneity. Name: Gill Abrahams there's nothing remotely saintly about Eros! Name: danielle tilling eros day is more romantic because not a lot of people now about it and also not commercial . Name: Laura Hadland Valentine is about love and death, Eros is all about love and eroticism - I know which I'd choose! Name: Catherine Harwood it's the same day as my wedding anniversary and that was the most romantic day ever. Ok so I didn't get married in a faraway desert island - it was in Manchester; - the church wasn't picturebook perfect - it was a flat modern building; there was no whisking me off on the orient express to a romantic honeymoon - we couldn't afford to go anywhere. So why was it the most romantic of days - because I married the man of my dreams literally - he had dreamt about me before he ever met me! and on the 14th August we will have been together 31yrs - so Eros Day has to be more romantic than Valentines for us! Name: Rachel Marese Carter It is an excuese to get lovey dovey with your partner. Enjoying their company, love, joy, happiness and sexuality. Name: Michèle Barzey falling in love is just the beginning Name: Sarah Hill it is inspired by the gods who alone know our most secret romantic desires.

Name: caroline caygill E rotic R aunchy O ppulent S exy Name: Revd Mark K Madeley Eros speaks more of erotic love, the special love between a husband and wife that goes far deeper than the friendship or superficial love that is now Valentine's Day. Name: anncarline no need to wear themals in bed in the summer Name: Sarah Laycock A naked dude with a bow and arrow gives off more lurve than rampant Jack Sparrow! St Valentines Day is somewhat more genteel but the Eros Day holds the LOVE appeal. Name: davina williams Because Eros had Zeus to learn from and he was the biggest womaniser of his time, so Eros should have learnt how things work Name: Drew Hubbard Saint V might have Spring on his side under covers, But Eros has Summer, so he's a much hotter lover Name: Tim Turner Its pure sex. Name: neil abbott eros was more romantic Name: lynnette St Valentine will simply wine and dine, but Eros is fearless and will treat you fine The 'Navel Nite' is prone to pose but Eros will win your heart with a 'rose' Name: Amanda Tatum Did you know there are four origins to the word love? ; agape - agape - voluntary love phileos - phileos - emotional love eros - eros - physical or sensual love storge - storge - (natural) affection ..So..I guess 'Eros' is 'the man'..and not without reason! Even standing at Picadilly circus in awe of the statue holding hands with my partner on a rainy day beats Valentines. So he gets my vote! xx Name: Suzie MacAllan You can show that special someone just how much you love them without being ripped off by retailers who recognise the commercial value of St Valentine's Day! Name: Jennifer Penn He can use his bow and arrow to shoot love right into the heart. Name: Derek Wallin He doesn't have to send a card to let you know someone loves you.

Name: Geoff Dagger Valentine maybe good but Eros he ain't, Love's at it's best when you'e not a saint Name: Ian Flack The Roman origin of Valentine is far from love, we should have adopted Cupid. The Greek god Eros is based on love and is far less lucrative. Name: Clare Handley Eros Day is so romantic the time to send sparks into the air with the arrows of love. So much more fun than the comic St Valentine who plays postman with cards bearing ?. Name: Mary DSouza Not only is it 2 days before my wedding anniversary but it was also very special and memorable for my hubby and I because we discussed what our vows really meant to us that day so many years ago. Name: Karl Chads The sense of the tradition of passion is more apparent. Name: Robyn Akerman Eros can also spell rose, and when in love lovers kiss from the head to the toes Name: suresh nathan its not as commercial, and the day will hopefully be warm and fuzzy, and not a damp squib like in february Name: MS Rosie Redd-Bloom Eros Day is fantastic Valentines is chaotic No need to presuppose When you receive one red rose Name: Margaret Akel The weather is nicer in August and you don't feel so cold in the summer Name: charles stanger With our lives as hectic as Piccadilly Circus, the little Cherub will bring big love between us.

Name: WH St Valentines Day is not romantic, merely a day for commercially lead couples to be forced to eat a sub-standard set menu after either buying and / or receiving grossly overpriced roses that are generally a pressure-purchase.

Name: Hazel britton eros is the god of love Name: Maggie Adams Eros is the god of lust, love and intercourse - now you have to admit that's a touch more interesting than celebrating a Saint who was most likely a martyred priest - and all you get is a bunch of lousy roses.

Name: Gail Pankhurst Saint Valentine was just some Roman martyr who got made into a romantic saint. However, Eros is the original Greek god of Love, he helped many of his fellow Olympians find love, so could quite clearly be able to help mere mortals. Name: Louise Bastow Eros day is more romantic than saint valentines day beacause its alot quiter and better service, my freind went there and recamended it beacause its so peacful and how its layed out is a great way to relax Name: beverley keenan While roses are red, and violets are blue, when Eros day comes, he'll say "I do". Name: jacqui stelzer 14 years ago on the 14/08 I saw my partner across a crowded craft fair tent at the Bristol ballon festival.He was a mature PHD student working on the stall opposite mine and I went home that evening and told all my friends that I had seen the man who would be my long term life partner. He was my Eros that day embellishing all the masculinity a woman could wish for. My wish came true as he had felt the same attraction towards me. To this day that has not changed. He is my real life Eros experience. We celebrate our togetherness on that date every year. Name: Nicola Sturmey Becuase it's in the middle of Summer (for what it's worth this year!) and there is plenty of skin on show to touch! It's easier to be romantic when the sun is shining and everybody is feeling good. Name: Eva Lenz He's one of the most popular gods of all time. He's in charge of the heart and carries a lethal love weapon which no-one can withstand. With two strings to his bow, he can fire golden arrows for love or leaden ones for indifference, so it's best to get on his good side if you're feeling smoochy. Name: Jane Fairbank Saints Valentines day has been hijacked by commercialism, Eros, the Greek god of love and sexual desire has been around far longer than Saint Valentine. Eros day should be more about passionate love which can be expressed in more inventive ways then cuddly toys and cards. Instead of a fluffy bunny holding a heart saying I love you maybe a different kind of Rabbit, the Rampant varity would make a more appropriate gift. After a day of Erotic fun with your partner roses should be sent as a reminded of Eros day. This would be far more romantic than a card that was sent just because its the done thing on Valentines day. Name: Syd Rawcliffe Some people think Winter keeps romance alive, But I concentrate on the need to survive. Just take a look at the birds and the bees, Would they woo their mate when it's starting to freeze? No, let's have romance when it's sunny and fair, So this Eros day, come on down to my lair! Name: mrs eileen mccarthy Eros is creative.Eros can even be called a Liberator.He represents Love just as Valentine does yet Eros is more discerning . With golden arrows and Dove feathers Eros can cause instant Love.Isn't that a Romantic thought that Eros can just decide to shoot a Golden arrow and cause the recipient to swoon in Love.In this tired ,jaded Age isn't that something to be admired.I do think so. Name: Colin Hooper In February me and my love are cold and wet...In August our love's hot as it can possibly get! Name: Graham Bright Eros was the god of lust and love while also being worshipped as a fertility deity.St Valentine merely refers to one of several martyred saints of ancient Rome. Name: Philip Honour Eros sends Cupid's arrows straight to the heart from his bow Whilst St Valentine had a massacre which killed many a beau Name: Beverley Thornton St Valentines day is getting far too material The erotic Eros Day sounds far more imperial! Name: Sarah Atkinson because eros thought he didn't want to be like everyone else, he thought why save the i love you gifts and the romantic dinners for just February??? He decided it would be a wonderful thing to do it all over again in August because all the i love yous and romantics dinner shouldn't be dedicated to one day in the year, so he did!!! And good on his for it.... Name: mrs sharron page Because this busy mum, working wife, needs 'hot love' in her life and Eros will certainly do that for me. Name: Carol May EROS is an anagram of ROSE and what could be more romantic ... Name: Christine Onion because with Eros Day you'll never come 'a-cropo-lis' Name: FREDA KERSLAKE Only Eros has a love that makes the world go round ---- having no "axes" to grind! Name: Deborah Hennighan Eros, son of Aphrodite, is clearly the most romantic and deserving of having a day named for him. His associations are all with love,sensuality and well.....sex! St Valentine on the other hand, was an early Christian martyr who lost his head, not much romance there! Certainly makes the invitation to "be my Valentine" seem less appealing! Name: Elaine Lane There isn't a slushy anagram of valentine, but every romantic loves a ROSE. Name: Susan Ward Eros was the Greek God of love, lust and a bit of the other directing it to mere mortals. St. Valentine was a Roman Catholic martyr who only became associated with romantic love in the 14th century primarily by Geoffrey Chaucer. I think, therefore, that Eros knew how to have fun and I'd vote for him any day. Name: carol peddie February is cold and wet, August is hot and steamy, In the Hotel Hatfield who cares, Make your own heat,cuddle up with your litlle bear....ooh. Name: Nicki Curd As a greek god Eros was always going to be more romantic than St Valentine, He would bring people together for them to enjoy each others company. He Name: Samantha Mackie With the summer sun shining overhead it is far more romantic a day than a deary old February day spent shivering. Also an anagram of Eros is Rose, the flower of love whereas an anagram of Valentine is Alien Vent- the least romantic thing I have ever heard! Name: Sharon Burkey sugar is nice and sweet but give me love and heat Name: Alan Saint Valentine is the commercial god of expected gifts and paper cards. Eros is a god of true love from Greek mythology now cascading in an English summer of rippened hormones and testerone. February is far to cold to experience summer luvin! Every one Remembers One Special day. Name: debra hughes August 14th is also my birthday. Name: Deborah Bland Eros is an anagram of Rose (OK I'm probably not the first person to say that but at least I noticed) Eros is a four letter word the same as love Eros was known for bringing people together for love If celebrated in August there's more chance of it being a sunny day and spending it outside (scantily clad if necessary)much better than February The thought of Eros is a playful, cheeky guy with a twinkle in his eye, and flirtation on his mind so you can't help thinking romance Meeting under the Eros statue on Eros day could get romance off to a great start Hearts and arrows would really mean something on Eros Day Name: Rebecca Smith Loves Old Valentine Erodes Romance, Eros Demands Roses - Oozes Sensual Element Name: Chris Chaperon The love expressed in a Valantines card, you can reject.

Name: Jamie Logan If you take the rearrange the letters in 'Valentines' and 'eros' then "Rose" day is much more romantic than "A Linen Vest" day! Name: angela wilkinson eros is in eroticism,valentine is in..?exactly!! it's all about love! Name: Christine Broughton While St Valentine weaves mystery and intrigue around the sender, Cheeky Cherub,EROS,fires passion, love and romance into his potent agenda! Name: Lee Clarke Eros was the god of lust and love not just an excuse to send cards and flowers that have doubled in price on Valentines day. Withour Eros we would not be Erotic Name: Stephen Logan its all about love not commercialism Name: John Watson It's in the summertime, so there's a lot less clothes being worn. Name: Sally Schofield Because it is on my birthday, so m Name: Maria Ellis August 14th is celebrated in the summer which is warmer, therefore less clothes are worn which makes it more sexy. Also Eros goes back further in time and conjures up a more romantic image - he can strike me anytime with his golden arrows. Name: RACHEL WARD Valentine's Day is full of stress, forget that day and all the mess Eros day is the one to win your crush chocolate's, treats and anything lush! Name: Samantha Bennett Valentines day doesnt feel as special anymore, its used for promotional things and the true meaning behind it is lost. Eros day isnt a fad for young children to get a new girlfriend or boyfriend which will last all of two weeks, its for true love. For the people who would die over and over again for their loved one, who would give their soul just to see their loved one smile. Eros day is for real love, a day where you and your love are looked down upon by the gods and godessed and blessed. Name: Julie Meaden St Valentines day is about celebrating one day of love. Eros day is about celebrating an eternity of love. Name: jean farrell it's for committed lovers rather than fanciers....no anonymous plastic rose or joke valentine cards Name: lil he is better looking Name: maria hindmarch It used to be spelt Hero's Day, because the local Greek hero would pick the girl of his dreams from the local villagers. He would throw a rose at her feet and if she picked it up she would be his. over time the H was lost in History and it became 'istory, just like Hero's Day,became 'eros day! Now who was this other fella St valentine what did he ever do. Well? Name: Jennifer Carter Six months after Valentines Day and the romance is fading...Eros day is a time for couples to rekindle there love for each other and have another excuse to be all loved up! I think its a brilliant idea!! Name: GillSmedley It's not so hackneyed!! Not so commercial!! It would be such a wonderful romantic surprise for my husband of 48 years. I remember 50 years ago standing in Picadilly Circus with him and looking up at Eros. I was a nurse in London then and he would come up to see me for a few hours in between my shifts at Moorfields Eye Hospital. Name: Jennifer Deavall Be My Greek God sounds SO much better than Be My Valentine. Name: CLAIRE KENDRICK SAINT VALENTINE WAS A BORE, A MARTYR SO THEY SAY, BUT EROS WAS A GOD OF LUST, THE MATCHMAKER OF HIS DAY. WHEN VALENTINE SAT COUPLES DOWN TO HAVE A LOVELY MEAL, EROS REALLY GOES TO TOWN, HIS COUPLES HAVE A FEEL.

Name: kathryn winfield it is more sacred and special, it is not an event that is put out of prospective like valentines day. It's much less commercial more romantic and unique. Name: Andrea Longman it's in the summer (apparently - although looking out the window you may not think so), so you can have picnics and long walks and look at shooting stars without things shriveling up! Name: BRIAN COWINGS He didn't need a weapon, his body was enough! Name: lindsey bain This is far more romantic as eros being greek is the god of sunset walks on the beach, sailing the islands and romantic meals with penty of ouzo.... whats that guy valentine got going for him apart from a supermarke bunc of flowers and a petol station greetings card? Name: lisa moxham Eros could stand for Erotic, Romantic, Original Seducation - sounds better than Valentines day any day of the week! Name: Gill King Eros by any other name would smell as sweet Name: Cathy MacLennan Eros is an anagram of rose which is the most romantic symbol of love so a slogan as follows could be applied. EROS - the most EROtic day of the year spoil your loved one with ROSES the symbol of ultimate and lasting love Name: Helen Young he is the god of love and everyone worldwide knows who he is. Mr Romantic. I think it should be renamed. Name: Suzanne Doyle Because Saint Valentine, although filling our lives with love and roses, is at the end of the day a saint; whereas Eros was a full blown Greek love god, and therefore Eros Day will not only be romantic, but also, with a bit of luck, full of lust and passion!

Eros is a happy geezer a little bit naughty but a lot of fun. Name: Erica Price summer is more romantic than winter Name: chrissy alborough It's my boyfriends birthday too! Name: Loretta Cerioli Eros - an anagram of Rose Sweetly scented from tip to toes Just one look he bestows Greek Mythology with all its prose Will make you tingle, heaven knows! Name: Christine Dixon its (Extra Romantic Originally Sacred) Name: Jamie Gallant The latter is associated with a massacre, whereas the former is associated with Erosica, an internet phenomenom. Name: martin williams Valentine is a saint of the past Eros is a love that will last. Name: LUCY DOOLEY BECAUSE HE IS GOD, NOT A CHERUB! Name: Jon Whitwell Well compared to Saint Valentine who jumps straight in saying "Be Mine!" Eros is the god of love in Greek much subtler with a kiss on the cheek Romantic liaisons lead to loving equations Which get hearts pacing and pulses racing Deep red roses of aromatic posies Candles lit, dim the lights a much needed break for two nights Soften the mood consume some food Comfy hotel, loving company and champagne cheer Memories not just for one day but to last a year! Name: Ruth Hill The anagram of Eros is far nicer than that of Saint Valentine- Rose Verses A Valentines Nit!!

Name: George Williamson Eros was & is, the god of love and St. Valentine was created to give merchants a chance to acquire OUR hard earned cash once again. Name: Miranda Drew because its almost like a secret so it is more romantic. A bit like your husband remebering a special date after you have been together for a long and celebrating it. Valentines day is too commercial now its like you celebrate it beacuse you have too were as eros day you would celebrate because you love your other half. Name: Ian Summerscales It is less about secretive admiration and more about fun and frolics _ more power to your rose tinted elbows...:) Name: Alex Prichard because it's a surprise day, and much less commercialised (if at all!) Name: Jennifer Brown It's less commercialised, warmer and hopefully you can do things like a walk on the beach or have a romantic picnic outdoors, all of which you can't do on Valentine's Day Name: Catherine Harwood it's the same day as my wedding anniversary and that was the most romantic day ever. Ok so I didn't get married in a faraway desert island - it was in Manchester; - the church wasn't picturebook perfect - it was a flat modern building; there was no whisking me off on the orient express to a romantic honeymoon - we couldn't afford to go anywhere. So why was it the most romantic of days - because I married the man of my dreams literally - he had dreamt about me before he ever met me! and on the 14th August we will have been together 31yrs - so Eros Day has to be more romantic than Valentines for us! Name: Clare Handley Eros Day is so romantic the time to send sparks into the air with the arrows of love. So much more fun than the comic St Valentine who plays postman with cards bearing ?. Name: Christina Jebb Eros is the God of Love - Handsome, intense and sexy. St Valentine was kindly and good. He secretly married couples forbidden to wed and all the thanks he got was to be martyred for it. Martyrdom is NOT romantic!! Name: Nicola Ryall becauses wros day is much more exclusive Name: janet rutherford its not comercial,so only TRUE romantics celebrate it, ones who truly love their husbands like me(even though hes turning into homer simpson - i love him more with every beat of my heart) Name: Philip Honour Eros sends Cupid's arrows straight to the heart from his bow Whilst St Valentine had a massacre which killed many a beau Name: Shruti Bapat Eros, the Greek god of love and sexual desire. He was also worshiped as a fertility god.Eros is usually depicted as a young winged boy, with his bow and arrows at the ready, to either shoot into the hearts of gods or mortals which would rouse them to desire - a very uncanny resemblence to Cherubs that we usually see on Valentines day. Thats why I think Eros Day is more romantic than Valentines day. Name: Syd Balarsky Cards through the door are a 13th century bore Eros offers much much more! Name: Rebecca Smith Loves Old Valentine Erodes Romance, Eros Demands Roses - Oozes Sensual Element Name: laura annsforde its organised by you! Name: Susan Bowles 'Eros' by any other name would smell as sweet Name: Mrs James Bond Because.... you can indulge your erotic aspects, but whoever heard of someone expressing their valentoric tendencies? Name: MARIE FOULSTONE I always think of the st valentines day massacre in America so theres no romance in that event. I havn't recovered from Christmas then. August is a much better time to celebrate love. More options. |
