Screw You, V-Day!
I’m the first to admit that I’ve gone through guys like tissues throughout my life, stopping here and there for serious, monogamous relationships when I see fit. But despite all the men in my life, I’ve only had one “real” Valentine’s Day experience: You know, flowers, diamonds, a romantic dinner and great sex.
I’ve been with other guys on Valentine’s Day…who haven’t done anything to mark the occasion. I’ve had guys break up with me a couple days before to avoid the date, and had guys wait till after to ask me out…to avoid the date.
But, really, what is Valentine’s Day except for a big marketing ploy? And I’m not just saying that as someone who doesn’t have a special someone right now. Even when I’m with someone, I wonder what the point is. Why do guys have to wait for this once-a-year occasion to tell me how special I am or buy me flowers? It’s almost an excuse for them to be apathetic the rest of the year because they have this one-day Get Out of Jail Free card. Lame.
