Whether you’re a major fan of Valentine’s Day or you think it’s all a bit too cheesy, you can’t deny that the celebration has a lot of charm. It’s the perfect opportunity to remind yourself of all the beautiful reasons why you love your partner. It’s also a day when you can be kind to complete strangers and spread a bit of love around the world like a Panda-shaped cupid.

Our romance-loving team here at Bored Panda has collected some of the most wholesome Valentine’s Day pics, stories, and posts to share with you, and they’re bound to warm your heart and heal your soul. Seriously, they’re overflowing with love and kindness! Don't forget to upvote your faves.

Bored Panda got in touch with Steven Wooding, from the Omni Calculator team, who paired up with fellow physicist Luciano Miño to create the Drake Equation for Love Calculator. We asked Steven about how our standards affect our chances of finding love and what we can do if we feel like we keep failing at finding a partner no matter what we do. Read on for our full interview.
