Valentine's Day started to become associated with romance probably around the time of Geoffrey Chaucer (around the 1300s). Chaucer wrote some lines that went "For this was on Saint Valentine's Day, / when every bird cometh there to choose his mate." ... We aren't sure if Chaucer started this, or perhaps more likely, responded to a trend of his day. The traditions of giving flowers and other gifts didn't come about until the 1700s in England.
