My Cheap Valentine
Contrary to popular belief, I woke up this morning without a chip on my shoulder. It's Valentine's Day, I'm single, so what?
When I was in middle school, V-Day was funny, because we would wait to see how many guys would pick fights with their girlfriends right before for the holiday so they wouldn't have to buy gifts (yeah, boys would do that).
As far as I know, it never happened to me back then. Just a few years ago, though, I was kinda in to this guy and felt the feeling was mutual. We didn't have the boyfriend/girlfriend title, but we hung out at least twice a week and talked on the phone until the wee hours of the morning frequently. This went on for about six months, so I felt we had a pretty good thing going on.
When V-Day came around, I was contemplating getting him something small as a symbol of my affection, until one day we somehow stumbled upon the topic as to whether Valentine's Day was romantic or just some plot for people to spend money. He said something about how he believed in dumping his dates because he worked hard for his money!
After explaining that spending dough isn't the only way to show your affection on V-Day, I kindly removed his digits from my phone. I guess I just felt that was behavior he should have left in sixth grade.
Has anybody else ever had a bad Valentine's Day experience? Would you rather just be alone than deal with the drama?

Valentines Day should be called Boosting the Credit Card Bill Day or for the Merchants and Banks -Buy Silly Plastic Balloons,Stuff Animals, Flowers That Wilt Soon and Nasty Tasting Candy Day-oh yea dumb sounding sappy cards and so on I could go. Up there with some of the most silly of days declared on the yearly calendar, though for ahead on most for money thrown down the toilet is Valentines Day.
