What are the most romantic words in your language?

"I Love You a lot...These words are not enough to express you how much I Love u. You come in my life as an angel of the GOD and make my life so bright, colorful and full of love. I always pray to God to tie us in a sacred knot soon so that we spend each and every moment together. You always support me, care me and love me. I am always thankful to GOD who gave me such a true & loving heart person in my life... Happy Valentine’s Day!! My Love of Life...Miss U…” - Santosh Dhakal, Nepal Engineering College

 “I am not a great fan of Valentine’s Day but I like what it stands for; love. The most romantic sentence would be: My dear love, I love you more than anything in this world. I want to grow old with you with all the suffering and happiness shared between us. You are the most beautiful person I have ever met. Every time I think of you my whole world goes upside down. I can feel the blood running in my veins, which overflow into the arteries and make my heartbeat audible. Sounds like movies, but I cannot sleep or eat when I think of you. This is what they call "True Love". I had never felt this right, I know I am not perfect for you, I know that, but you can make my life complete. My love, you are the breeze that takes my breath away every time I see you. Sometimes the very thought of losing you makes me broken. I will love you for eternity no matter what happens with our lives. You are my love, you are my soul.” - Bimal Gaire, DWIT

"Simply, I love you!" - Shreya Acharya, DWIT

How do  you plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day?

Valentine ’s Day is a lovely day, a great day for couples who want to enjoy a day just for themselves. Since I am single, I plan to spend the day enjoying, playing FIFA and hanging out with friends.” - Kundan Shamsher Rana, DWIT

Is giving chocolates as Valentine’s present a sign of lack of creativity?

Girls love chocolate. If you want to talk to them then start with chocolate. It is probably the simplest and oldest idea. So, it is not creativeness. It is the same stereotype of getting girls’ attention.” - Prem Adhikari, Oscar Int’l College

How do you define love?

"Love is undefined. It has no threshold value like love=0.1.It has boundary beyond which love gets fragmented. The more you love the deeper and strong it becomes. Love is a package of responsibilities." - Shankar Koirala, DWIT

"Love is like a fever, which comes and goes quite independently of the will and there is no age limit for love. A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it is to love whoever is around to be loved." - Saugat Dhungana, K&K Int’l College

"Love is a four-letter word, which had no meaning until she came. Love is a word that has my joy being with her, my feelings towards her, my stupid acts with her, my emotions for her, my anger for her, my whole nature with her, my life and my soul for her. Love couldn't be explained in a sentence or two. It comprises of huge meanings and feelings or emotions. For a mother her child is love, for a rich guy his money and power is love, for a boy his girl is his love, for a child hand full of candy is love. It means there is no perfect answer for what is love. Yes, the love is just a small word with 4 letters, yet it carries more than zillion definition of itself, love can’t be defined." - Abhishek Khatiwada, DWIT 

"Uhmmm… this question really makes me think for a while. And I start to think what love actually is. Is being in a relationship love? After thinking for a while, I figured out the people who love me: mother, father, sister. However, are they all? Actually, no. My parents and my friends, they care about me; they suggest or scold me on my mistakes, and they are there on my every step of my life till now. And this is what love actually is; it’s care.

Love should be surprising. One should be a teacher for another. And people who are in love should overcome every obstacle which they find on their way while living their lives. Love is something beyond physical attraction, date, sharing gifts or talking for hours. It’s the strongest abstract feeling in the world. Love is intimacy, commitment, believe, hope and the most important thing; it’s not merely physical attraction." - Binod Aryal, DWIT 

"Caring deeply about someone, then there’s a feeling that you always want to see him/her happy, being there for each other, that uneasy restlessness when you miss someone, finally there’s a moment like “Gosh! I’m really glad to see you” always when you see him/her. Well having these sentiments towards someone is definitely ‘love’ and nonetheless it should be crazy." Anmol Shrestha, DWIT

Is one day dedicated to Valentine’s Day enough? Why?

"One valentine’s day is enough because 5 years, or maybe 10 years down the line, you are going to remember how beautifully you spent the Valentine’s Day with your partner; not every other day." Bidish Acharya, DWIT

What is a perfect date for you?

"Perfect date for me is not going to fancy restaurants, watching romantic movies, candle light dinner or long drive. For me, perfect date is simply a date where you can open yourself up to your partner without hesitation. A date where you talk all day without caring about the time, a date which you do not want to end, a date which you will remember for the rest of your life." Prayush Shrestha, DWIT

What are you planning to do for Valentine’s Day?

"Date someone whom I love and go for a long walk till sun sets in the west. We will watch that setting sun and promise to watch the sun set forever together." - Barsha Dahal, DWIT

What are you planning to do to impress the girl you like?

"Nothing! The girl I like is already impressed. I just plan to be myself and talk to her. May be ask her out to dinner or coffee, or Mo:Mo maybe. Cause we love Mo:Mo." - Abhusan Gautam, DWIT

Is one day for love  enough?

"If you really love each other, one single day is not enough to express your love towards them. Every day should be Valentine’s Day if you're really in a true relationship.

Because people are too busy in today's life, I think that it's not a bad idea to take out a single day for our loved one.

But, as the saying goes " you're never too busy, it's just priorities that matter the most". So if you really love someone truly, no matter how busy you are ,you take out time for them. You're never too busy that you can't even get time to be with the one who loves you the most

You're never too busy that u can't manage time to be with that special person. Who knows what tomorrow might bring. Who knows if we'll still be alive tomorrow? So what you have now is what matters the most. So keeping that in mind, you got to show your love every single day. At least an 'I love you' text can make your loved one’s day." Sajak Raj Baidhya, DWIT

What do you think is the difference between Valentine’s Day and any other day for dating?

"Well, I do not think that there is any difference between Valentine’s Day because if you truly love a person then everyday is a Valentine's day. And I personally think that a regular or a casual date is the best because it's cute..hehe." - Shreha Regmi, DWIT
