Yes... it is feb 14
Valentine's day started in Europe in the middle ages. It has always been in February for us.
I found this though:
In Brazil, the Dia dos Namorados (lit. "Day of the enamored", or "Boyfriend's/Girlfriend's Day") is celebrated on June 12, when couples exchange gifts such as chocolates, cards and usually a flower bouquet. This day is chosen probably because it is the day before the Saint Anthony's day, known there as the marriage saint, when many single women perform popular rituals in order to find a good husband (or nowadays, a boyfriend).
So I think it's just a thing of you having a Saint for marriage and the day for love and gifts was chosen then.
You are right about the other cultures thing!! not everybody does everything the same the world over.
Today, Feb.14 is Valentines Day in the U.S.

Por que festejar solo una fecha el dia del amor y la amistad?
cuando puedes festejarlo un dia a la semana de tener a la persona que amas a tu lado o a tu mejor amigo(a)
Basically this question at Yahoo answers Mexico asks when is it.
14 DE FEBRERO
the answers here may be from Hispanics who live in the US they say the 14th of February is Saint Valentines day but the days for love are all year long.
I believe it is a bit later in February according to my husband.

Aca en Colombia celebramos el dia del amor y la amistad, el sábado de la segunda semana de septiembre, cae en diferentes fechas. Pero se me hace que es una fecha netamente comercial, inventada para que los almacenes hagan su agosto.

White Day ("DÃa blanco"), dÃa en el cual se suelen regalar chocolates blancos, malvaviscos o cualquier obsequio de color blanco, incluso ropa interior. I believe it says the women get
White chocolate and white lingerie on this day from men.
It also says that this day is February 14th in Mexico but my husband says it is later than that in Mexico where he is from in Southern Mexico and on Wikipedia in Spanish it says the women get red lingerie. Good that is what I sent my sister in law who is getting married this month of February.
I still cannot find Brasil it may be under Dia de Enamorados
It says that globalization marketing is making it a trend to celebrate on February 14th which may be why Mexico is also being listed as the same day.

On the Hispanic postales post card site it states many days as being days about love including Mothers Day and Fathers day. So the other days are related to something probably historical to their countries related to love as Valentines day date is related to Saint Valentine.
every day should be Valentine's day
Yeah, that's today.
