My Valentines Day Thoughts

Firstly is there actually anyone who likes this holiday? I know single people hate it, but it would seem that even couples hate it as well. I think it is because they practically have to buy something for their significant other in order to avoid the awkward situation of not getting anything for them on V-Day. What you don't give them anything, but they give you something...that would not be good times for anyone. I think it just puts too much pressure on both people to spend money on shit neither of them need....or want sometimes. And what about first time dates on V-Day? The stress of trying to decide whether or not to get your date anything. You might not believe it, but a lot of girls probably just find it creepy if a guy brings even flowers on a first date. Thats a fact...kind of. I asked every girl I knew if they would find it a bit creepy and most said yes. This shed some light on why girls thought I was kinda creepy in High school. The dozen roses inside of the girls locker on V-Day was apparently a bad choice...who would have thought. Another problem I see with V-Day is that it represents something that should be done everyday. If you are lucky enough to have someone in your life then you should be showing them how much you care everyday of the year. There is no need to have a holiday for it. Personally though I really don't have much against V-Day even though, I think I've been alone for every single one I've been alive for. Even though I did mention some things I dislike about it I would have to call myself a hypocrit sense I know if I had a girlfriend on V-day I would fall right in with the entire ordeal. The term hopeless romantic comes to mind...anyone I worked with at TJ's could vouch for that:). There is a sense of hope this year though considering that it will be the first V-Day that I will not spend alone. Oh thats right, I have a date on V-Day. I guess having hope really does pay off sometimes. Yes mom, apparently having optimism can change things:). I'm ready for the awkward situation on Valentines Day and I wouldn't have it any other way.
