It’s no secret that we are not huge fans of public declarations of romance on social media, making us all cringe a little and slip even further into a bitter pit of singledom.
But even we have to admit that this year saw some particularly heartwarming Valentine’s Day messages, that made all our hearts just that little bit less dead inside (well, only slightly).
Here are eight posts that restore all our faith in love.
