student asking question

I'm always confused which one to say between "me too" and "you too" as a reply in this kind of situation. Would it be wrong if I say "me too" here like I also want you to have a happy Valentine's Day kind of a thing.

Good question! We use "you too" when we want to return the well wishes or greetings of someone. In this video, somebody says "Happy Valentine's Day" to SpongeBob, so he returns these greetings by saying, "you too." Ex: A: Have a great day! B: You too. Ex: A: You look great today! B: You too! We use "me too" when we want to express agreement or participation with a previous statement. Ex: A: I wish I was on vacation right now. B: Me too. Ex: A: I'm going to get a beer with my lunch. B: Me too.
