China, I’ve got a softer side. In fact, I’m touching it right now.

DS, at my age I’d take Grits & Cinemax Day.

Randi, so then you’re with me. I’m gonna need a female to help launch the anti-Valentine campaign.

Native, that should be the true test: if you can dump someone before VD and then get her back, she’s the one. Even though, in your scenario, you’re the dumpee…and the male.

sig, I’ve since discovered a website: http://www.steakandbjday.com/. Although, they’re saying it’s March 14th. I can compromise.

Luke, metaphor was intended. Although, isn’t that the anatomically correct term for it?

Hilarious piece. I don’t know if you intentionally meant for the metaphor ‘arriving south at the box of chocolates,’ to be interpreted as I did, but I was chuckling good at that one.

Lucky (?) for me, I got dumped two weeks before Valentine’s Day, so didn’t have to bother with all that.

Any warm feelings I may have had about Valentine’s Day began to cool off in 3rd grade when a classmate decided to admit that he had “had a crush on me all year,” give me a card, a box of chocolate, and a teddy bear. Then history repeated itself in 7th grade (different guy, different species of stuffed animal, left right in front of my locker for all to see). So after age 12, I associated Valentine’s Day with awkwardness. Then in 11th grade, it was made even worse when one of my BEST FRIENDS decided that February 14th was the perfect time to profess his feelings too! Now the thought of Valentine’s Day sends shivers down my spine.

As you move south in the U.S. and away from cities, it would become more of a beef jerky and hj day.

Solid as always. I was worried when you started to get all sentimental
