date for saturday?

Danny* asked me to be his Valentine's date on Saturday. Ughhhh......... not that I wouldn't like to go out with him on a date, it's just......on Valentine's day? Why that day? Can't we go out on Sunday? or Friday? or any day but? Valentine's day is a day of love. I honestly feel really awkward going on a first date with someone on Valentines's Day. He asked me for my address so he could send me flowers. That's kind of too much. I'm a little uncomfortable.
