I am not currently dating anyone and spent a peaceful day celebrating Valentine's on my own. This year, I received no sexual overtures from scrotes and was not disappointed by any man. I think this may have been the first Valentine's Day I felt completely at peace since childhood.
How did you all spend your Valentine's Day?
I would love to hear your stories, good and bad.
I ordered Thai food from a favorite place of mine that happens to be in a mall. I saw so many bad dates going on while I waited for my food! One guy even left his gf (maybe wife) at the counter to order and pay because he saw his friends there. This was a late 30s to older 40s couple.
Last night I went out to eat at a fancier Italian place and saw some day after Valentine's dates. One girl had basically a kleenex for a dress on. It was white, tight, and barely there. Her scrote didn't even bother to dress up. He looked haggard and she looked like a porn star. She was all over him and he was short and fugly.
A married man kept trying to make eyes with me the entire time I was eating while his wife was sitting across from him.
I'm so glad I spent Valentine's with my dog! He's the only deserving man I've met in years. 😂
My partner drove 15 hours in the snow from out of state just to spoil me for Valentines. He brought me a beautiful bouquet roses (my fave), and took me to a nice sushi and hot pot restaurant (my fave) but it was super packed so we ended up going to a jazz cafe which was so romantic and lovely. Since the sushi spot was so packed, I got a Valentines Day part 2 the next day and he took me to the restaurant and got me a bunch of chocolate (my fave). We got home and he didn’t even pester me for sexual favors, but offered to please just me. It was a reminder to me why my standards are so “unrealistic” because someone out there will give you princess treatment. I’m lucky enough to be attracted to and love this person. He’s my age and we are monogamous so I also think this shows that you don’t have to date older or be non-monogamous to get spoiled. You just have to love yourself so much you’re non-negotiable on what you need and want.
Well, I have a 5 day weekend so as far as I'm concerned, Valentine weekend ain't over 'til Tuesday morning!
But my girlfriend gave me 2 dozen roses--red and white and gave me some valentine balloons and Lindt chocolate (I'm a chocoholic especially for the "gourmet" stuff). I got her a designer backpack ('cause lord knows she needs to stop carrying around her tattered old Primark backpack) and then made her breakfast in bed the next morning!--scrambled eggs, nutella-covered strawberries, orange slices and strawberry cream cheese toast!
We watched Ratatouille together while it's snowing/raining all weekend.
But another highlight is my friend's niece was stood up by the good for nothing loser who'd been wasting her time as of late. She STILL hasn't heard from him so she started touting back all the FDS-aligned ideology my friend has been trying to instill in her and said she we gonna start enacting it. We'll see if that sticks, but it's a good sign!
Sometimes my Birthday and Valentines Day fall on the same week and this year it did. I usually celebrate my birthday all month anyway (one weekend for me, one for my friends, one for my family, and either another for me or for my SO) so my boyfriend decided to make it a month of celebration AND romance.
Our first weekend I had book club on Saturday and we had to go out to my grandmother’s to clean out her house (she died last year and probate is ending soon) on Sunday, so in the downtime he planned a gun range date and we made a good time of it by going to Bass Pro Shop to pick out the ammo and then we went took his AK and shot until we ran out of ammo. Afterwards he took me out to dinner. After a morning of going through my deceased grandmother’s things it really cheered me up to go shooting. He knows me so well.
The next weekend I was drafted to work an extra day so Saturday morning before work we spent the morning at a cute lil breakfast place instead of going on our normal date night. It was ridiculous how delicious it was and a shame I had work cuz I bet their mimosas would have been heavenly. Sunday was the Super Bowl and since both of us aren’t really into football (we prefer hockey and baseball) my beau decided to check something off of my bucket list for my birthday gift. He got us two hours of skiing lessons and then a full day pass to the slopes so from 7 am to 2 pm that’s what we did. It was an absolute blast and, both of us having never done it before, we wiped out a ton. Regardless, we loved it and plan on going on ski trips at least once a year from now on. We both wanted the night to continue even though we were exhausted since it was only 2pm, so we cut town and drove to see some sights before finally calling it a day at 5 pm. We grabbed some delicious Mexican food for dinner to go and then crashed at mine while watching Twilight. (I have him hooked on this series hahaha.)
This week was my birthday so we pushed the Valentine’s celebration to next weekend. This weekend we focused on me turning 25! Woohoo! I got flowers, my favorite chocolates, and my favorite beer from him just cuz he didn’t want me to go on empty handed on v-day tho and I spent 20 minutes making him a chocolate tart that he hasn’t stopped raving about. Saturday I threw a birthday party at my house and invited all of my friends. I asked my friends to not get me anything but all of them did and oh my god. Every gift was perfect. It’s literally inspired me to write a blog post about what life with HV friends is like and once I’m finished I’ll post it but oh my god I love my friends. Sunday my family and I went to a hookah bar and then out for Karaoke. I LOVE Middle Eastern food y’all. It was so good. Dining on lamb chops and baklava before getting wasted on Prosecco singing my favorite Beyonce and Miley Cyrus songs was awesome. I’m definitely rating my 25th birthday as the best one I’ve ever had.
And next weekend my bf and I will be celebrating Valentine’s day. I know some of y’all like surprises but I really don’t. I want to know what to wear, where I’m going, and what to expect. He plans 99% of our dates so I like to be in the know. For V-day he’s making me a cute basket filled with everything I love. I’m going to do the same for him cuz he’s made my month so absolutely amazing. Then we have reservations to go to one of my favorite fondue places in the city and are ending the night drinking my favorite wine and binge watching Love is Blind: Germany. (I got him hooked on Love is Blind, too 🤪) We know after a glorious month of celebration and love and romance that ending our weekend with trashy reality dating tv will be an absolute blast. Hahaha.
I celebrated V-Day a week earlier with friends. I was supposed to hangout with this girl and her friend. We bought tickets to this party (all girls btw). Sadly, she got sick. I was technically alone but I met up with her mutual friend. It was so funny, because as soon as we talked, she was like “you’re _____ friend, right?” It was so funny hahaha. We got along so well. I met another girl and her friends completely bailed on her and we were like, “you’re with us today!” I added her on social media turns out, she’s a doctor lol
On actual Valentine’s Day, I took my elderly parents out to celebrate their day. I bought my mom a bouquet.
