What if you don't want to be their Valentine? And there's no way to respond because it's anonymous. So you can just expect they're going to turn up on your doorstep some day very soon, And You Had Better Be Ready, or else... You end up like Saint Valentine (Roman priest circa Claudius II, the roman emperor who wanted to build an army but realised married blokes would fight like girls because they'd be pining for their lovelies and bubbies so he outlawed marriage then along came Valentine who married a young couple out of empathy and "You'll be sorry!" slash-slash went Claudius, felling him flatly) - a martyr to Love. . .
