It wasn’t until the 14th century is was associated with romantic love by well known poet Geoffrey Chaucer as the tradition of ‘courtly love’ become popular. Spawning a change in the 18th century to an occasion of presenting lovers with flowers, confectionary, gifts and hand written notes called valentines.
