As much as dislike V-Day when I am in the mood for it I go all out with my corniness:

One year I put together a box of several items that symbolized things/situations which had a meaning to us and glued them to little flash cards which I brought into chronological order so they would tell story of our relationship and the reasons why I loved him.
Example: I put a little toy skeleton on a card and wrote something along the lines of “I love you because you trust me enough to reveil all the skeletons in your closet to me.”

Another year I simply put on some red lipstick and left some lip prints on a piece of paper. Under each print I wrote a bodypart where the kiss should go. I am not a big fan of writing love letters, poems or buying a Hallmark card. That was more like me.

Gawd, I am corny. There are more examples but I lost enough cool points already. It’s best I shut up.

I’m trying to figure out how the chubby dude in the wife beater (2nd pic above) get a decent lookin chick to stand up? lmao……

Last year had to be the ultimate worst for me. I had been talking to this guy for about two months and he finally asked me to be his valentine about 2 weekd before the date. I happily took the invite. He made reservations to an expensive restaurant here in Philly and we planned to go dancing afterwards. The day before i went and found my dress and shoes to wear. The day of was a busy day. Ive never celebrated the day before so this was really going to mean something to me. That morning of i got up went to the hairdressers. i got a mani and a pedi…i got home around 6 and waited for the call to let me know to start getting dressed. he called at around 730 saying he just got in from work and he was gnna start getting a shower and for me to be ready by 845….i was ready by 830 lol….well that was the last i heard from him…i called at 930 and i got nothing i called at 1030 and i got nothing…i couldnt believe it. i was sitting there dressed from head to toe and he stood me up. i cried and i cried and i cried…then to top it off i called my best friend at the time since i knew she was home and wasnt going anywhere to see if she could go out with me since i was dressed and she told me no….just like that she told me no…after i told her about my night lol…this year im taking my mom out…i cant take another disappointment like that

raya

got it!

valentine day ‘99

i was in a struggling relationship (struggling because i had recently found out my ex had been calling a girl in los angeles he knew, way too much). V-day arrived, and i let him know he was not obligated to get me anything. we were over as far as i was concerned. i get to my apartment ( he was living with me ), and he had laid out a card and gift for me. On the envelope the card said: To my princess [my name]. we spend the night together. the next morning he offered to take me to school. i was in art school at the time, so i had sketch boards, art supplies, etc., so, a ride was readily accepted. i get to the car, and i’m waiting by the back seat passenger side for him to unlock it. i see a envelope which read : To my first love [the girl in los angeles].

i wait for the door to unlock, while tiny amounts of smoke escape my hears. door unlocks. i snatch the envelope. rip the card and love note to her out. he leaps over the back seat, and snatches it out of my hand. i get into the car, because this fool was still taking me to school.

as the school day concluded, i went home, grabbed every trash bag i could find, an placed all of his beloved polo ralph lauren shirts, ties, towels, pillows, etc,. into them. i placed everything at the front door. i even considered stabbing the $75 velvet polo teddy bear he brought me thru the front door, jut so he knew i meant business, but i did not.

he arrived.

perfectly timed, r. kelly’s, when a woman’s fed up, came on the radio. he saw everything, lost his temper, and i was perfectly willing to do him harm if need be. he called his friend, and believe his words were: it finally happened.

the end (of sorts)

For Valentine’s day 2008, the guy I was seeing casually at the time sent me a series of texts throughout the day – ‘friendship’ ‘new beginnings’ ‘desire’ ‘appreciation’. He picked me up for dinner that evening and, on our way back to town, gave me a multicolor arrangement of roses symbolizing those things . . . I was so impressed with the amount of thought he put into the evening!

I was with a guy on valentine’s day about 2 years ago. We had went to the movies & got something to eat. Afterwards, we went to the park. It was real late. He told me to close my eyes “I have something real special for you” he said. I was 15 @ the time so I was real excited. 5 minutes goes by & he comes back completely naked in the park. I start to run and he chases me around the park. He catches up to me and tackles me to the ground. He starts to take off my clothes. I get nervous and I looked down & his d*ck just went limp. As fast as you can say “naked with socks on” he ran back and left me in the park alone. To this day, I still remind him of what happened.

The most romantic Valentine’s Day gift I ever received was from my college BF. He knew that I was a big bookworm, so he bought me the complete works of Shakespeare (!!!) and spent the evening reading me sonnets. Yeah, I was done. Still have the book, the guy … nope. But it was a great gift!

A couple of years ago, I was broke and couldn’t afford a proper gift for my BF, so I just went to iTunes, downloaded a few songs and made a CD. Combined with songs from my own collection, this cost me maybe $10 and it was a BIG hit.

The worst Valentine’s Day ever … well, it was my own fault. I made the mistake of setting up a good friend with a lady (a friend of a friend) for a V-Day date that turned disastrous. I’m talking bring a friend on the date, act ghetto as hell and get another dude’s number at the bar kind of disastrous. Oops.

In the meantime, I’m enjoying my own V-Day when I hear a knock on the door. It sounds like the police. Seriously. My poor BF opens the door to find our friend drunk and pissed the fuck off. He wastes no time screaming (and I mean screaming) on me for setting me up with such a girl. I had no idea this was going to happen. I was mortified and my date was ruined. We spent the rest of the night comforting our boy — which we didn’t mind doing for obvious reasons. There was no romance that night, but we got the best story ever out of it, so it worked out fine!

bitchychick15- this story disturbs me for so many reasons

SassyNoLa speak your mind

Worst valentine day was the first that I attempted to celebrate. Initially, I wasn’t going to do anything because my boyfriend at the time was always standing me up (because he was always “working late”), so when my cousin asked what we were doing for valentine’s day, I said ‘nothing’. She convinced me to think positive and do what I’d planned – which was just a simple romantic dinner at home (since I love to cook). So I purchased and prepped everything for a full course meal, made desserts, got the candles, the wine, everything. Valentine’s Day arrives, I left him a message that morning wishing him a happy V-day and heard nothing from him all day. Get in my car to head home from work and he calls, but I don’t answer and let it go to voicemail. I listen to to voicemail before starting the car, and the message is of him apologizing for not having any money to buy me anything. I drove home, called him back, ask him where he got the idea that I wanted something other than his time, and he had no words for me. I told him that I was making a big dinner. Fast forward to the end of the evening – he never showed up. I think he called at 11 that night and I thanked him for reminding me why I never put much energy into Valentine’s Day. The I called my cousin, let her know that he didn’t show, finished a bottle of wine and went to bed. With all the food I cooked, I had my lunch for the rest of the week. I just wanted a nice time at home. I even purchased these little romantic games to play, but oh well.

Should I ever get the opportunity again, the best Valentine Day for me would be to cook a big meal, bake various desserts, and play those romantic games (that now have dust on them) – with someone who wants to spend a nice romantic evening at home. Simple. At this point I’m a little to jaded to see that happen, but if it did, that would be nice.

I made a mistake (my computer is going through some difficulties). I was 16 @ the time.

I kinda hate this holiday. I can only remember one V-Day that was cool. All dude did was invite me over. There was strawberries, chocolate, champagne and candles. (and of course you know how that ended) But other than that, I always end up with the dude that thinks V-Day is this overrated day. Which I agree with but to a point. It doesn’t take away that I’d like to do something romantic w/my honey that day. I’m doing the single thing this year so…mmmhmmm.
So fellas if you’re really not into the day like that, I get it. But do something that will make your lady feel good that day. A small gesture is all that’s needed. Doesn’t have to be anything grand.

I’ve had two really good Valentine’s Days…I don’t really believe/celebrate the day, but here goes:

VDay 2003 – My friend came to visit me in my dorm room. We went to the Baltimore Harbor and walked around. We tried to go to a restaurant, but they all had at least a 3-hour wait. So we ended up going to McDonald’s and eating it in my dorm. He had written me a poem before and it was nice. I told him that I wanted a hard copy, so he surprised me by having it engraved on a silver platter. Now this wasn’t a short poem either. It was so sweet I cried!

Vday 2004 – My boyfriend at that time had just had shoulder surgery 2 days before. He was staying in my dorm/apartment as I played nurse for the weekend. He was driving me crazy!! I had to work on campus and he kept bugging me to leave my key there. I was like for what? (The door had the autolock feature) By this point, I was ready to smother him with a pillow, so I left the key and went to work and he came by. After I got off, I drove us back to the apartment and he went in before me and had Outkast’s “Happy Valentine’s Day” playing and he opened my bedroom door and he had it decorated w/ roses in the shape of a heart w/ candy and rose petals. There was also a huge stuffed dog, and socks (they’re my favorite) and he rented (I’ll excuse that b/c we were struggling college students and this was pre-Red Box era) a few of my favorite movies.

Those are the two that stick out in my memory the most. They may not seem like a lot, but they meant a lot to me

I’ve never really celebrated but my 1st bf/love when I was 18 planned something really special… and I was a bitch.
We were doing the long distance thing, I was still living in France at the time. He basically took a 8 hour train across the country (from Bordeaux to Grenoble) to come see me, as a surprise, but I had been wanting to break up for a while and had been thinking about telling him. My birthday is about a week before Valentine’s so he brought me 2 presents one for my B-day and one for V-day, and had booked a really nice hotel room (in High School standards). I felt really bad because my feelings had been less and less strong and I felt as if I was taking advantage of him. I could not let myself just enjoy the moment and then have to tell him a few weeks that it was over. I did accept the presents but I was… cold… and did not get sexual with him. I feel horrible about it but it was just really bad timing.
Karma has hit me though I guess since none of the other guys I have dated afterwards neither the following bf have done anything for V-day period… sad.

Fantasy V-Day: Holiday in Hawaii

Reality V-Day: Hurry on down to Hardee’s!

I honestly have never celebrated Valentine’s Day. Never had anybody to celebrate it with until four years ago and he always gone (Navy) anyway. Not to mention, we are in a LDR.

Now, I’m just like whatever about the whole “holiday”.

Well damn, those are some bad V-Day stories.

Sheesh. I guess I can consider myself lucky to have never encountered anything along those lines.

I am one of those dudes who sincerely dislikes Valentines Day. First because it is a made up holiday with purpose of stimulating retail sales between Xmas and Easter. Secondly, because many of my experiences with women around this time of year have been fairly strange.

I think for many women Feb 14 signify so much more than most men can ever understand. I have been showered with gifts by a woman with whom I really did not have a committed relationship. Plus I think the stress of the impending day make some ladies kookie.

Planned an elaborate night of dinner and Broadway for one lady love and she called a few days before to say she wasn’t showing up, the kicker was she called on V-day too and was upset I was not home…my response was you may not have wanted to spend the day with me but that is no reason for me me to stay home.

Also had a couple of unintentional break-ups in the preceding weeks leading up to V-day, one of which was only disappointing because I was trying to resuscitate a floundering relationship and put in a lot of planning and thought to provide a couples spa session. She flipped out on one of her usual tantrums and I was just done.

Should the next chick know the Spa date was not bought originally for her?

So I motion that Valentine Day be abolished…it apparently puts too much undue pressure on folks’ relationships. Pressure that in my experience seems to impact women’s behavior more than men. I don’t know too many dudes who get really excited about this time of year, plus what do you get for a “Winter Boo”?

There is only one time can I remember and it was soooo corny, but I still giggle at it.

I had all of the norms ready for my hubbie (now-ex) to come home; candles, dinner, flowers, strawberries, chocolates, wine, the whole-kit’n-kaboodle. I also got him something that he had wanted for his muscle car. (I forget now what that was.) I also did the whole mani/pedicure thing, got my hair cut and colored and I had on a super-sexy, hot outfit with the heals, ankle bracelet, sexy lingerie underneath, and so on. So, you know what was on my mind.

well, when hubbie got home, his first words were, “why is it so dark in here?” He flips on the lights, hands me a cardboard heart (that he cut out of a 12-pack soda box, grabbed a plate of food and went off to watch CNN. It was like a tornado flew through the house and what was left was me standing there thinking, “WTH?” Needless to say, nothing happened that night…not even a kiss as he came in the door. That was even our first V-Day after we got married. Ugh. lol What a butt!

I no longer care for Valentine’s day.

My all time worst Valentines… I was pregnant and had to go out of town for a funeral. I didnt get home in time for Feb 14. When I did return home. My husband, at the time, told me that he bought my present at KMart on clearance after V-Day.

The worst thing about it was that he was proud of himself for getting me a cheap present.

I threw that mess away… it was a cheep V-day basket with some lil V-day mess in it…

I was engaged to be married on valentines day 3years ago. He broke up with me on that day and married someone else that day.

Well…for my “boo” at the time-I borrowed my bff Stripper Pole and performed a strip tease for my man on Valentines Day. I requested for him to bring 20 $1 bills and he didn’t have a clue as to what was coming. The night ended great!
After being together for 4 years, with half the time being Long-Distance- a friend of mine saw him in Applebees with another chick on V-Day. By the way he lied to me and said he was going to the All Star game with his Father. He wanted to go to lunch with me, but I just told him we would celebrate V-Day when he returned. But I called his Mom to verify-because I didn’t trust the idea of him going out of town on V-Day and she and I are close to this day-but he lied to her too. I arrived to Applebees in 20 minutes which would normally be a 40 minute commute to see him in action. I had a “cheaters” episode-but didn’t do anything foolish enough to go to jail. Just poured water on him. So unfortunately, I hate V-Day. It marks a two year Anniversary of officially being single.

It is my hope these tales of Valentine Day lament build enough of a momentum to hopefully have us do away with that infernal artificial holiday.

It signifies too much for some people and only appears to lead to unnecessary turmoil for others.

Plus it appears to be hell on a Playas game!!
LMBAO!

I would love to see someone top BangShang’s story…thats just horrible…

Glad I don’t celebrate V-Day

On V-day I just eat ice cream watch “Grey’s Anatomy” and sing Alanis Morrisette “You oughta know” all day! LOL

@bangshang

WoW

*hug*

Thats terrible! Whats wrong with people? SMDH.

I can’t remember the last time I even “celebrated” “Valentines Day”, but the sweetest gift I do remember receiving was a lovely cheesy [I'm super cheesy, so cheesy gifts are always appreciated] poem written out with blanks in it. The blanks were to be filled with sayings off the lovely candy hearts that we find in abundance every year around this time.

Coming from a guy I didn’t peg as creative at all, I thought it was the sweetest thing in the world. I’m happy that he knew me well enough to know that I like interactive multi-useful gifts. I ate the cady after… but I still have the letter.

My best Valentine’s Day was during a fairly new relationship. We had been dating since October and became BF/GF on New Year’s Eve.

My BF lived in Pennsylvania but traveled extensively for work as a musician and I had just taken a 6 month position at a production in Orlando Florida when we started dating. I moved to FL in January.

His profession required him to be at the Grammys & this particular year the Grammys & Valentine’s Day were on the same weekend so I understood we weren’t able to be together.

I had the weekend off, so he told me he had done something special for me and that I was staying at a resort for 2 nights so I should back a weekend bag & bring a swim suit. He also told me I’d be getting a massage at the resort’s spa and that I’d have instructions on how to check in to the hotel afterward.

I was happy and felt very grateful, yet still melancholy because my new love wouldn’t be there with me.

Still, I packed my bag and headed to the resort.
I checked in with reception & they had this whole speech about how amazing my boyfriend is and how he had such a lovely time planned for me.

I blushed and sat down to wait for my 2:30 appointment. 2:30 came and went and I was a little curious why they hadn’t come to ready me yet so I checked with the front desk and they told me my appointment was actually for 3:30 which was odd because he’s meticulous about time and doesn’t usually get things like that wrong.

Still I sat… and waited.
3:45 came and I was very anxious. They let me in a small room to sip some cucumber water and change into a robe.

Then 15 minutes later I went in for my massage which was absolutely lovely.

About 30 minutes into the massage my therapist stepped out of the room for about 5 minutes. She returned and began to ask me questions about my boyfriend, I figured small talk, and told me I’d be having a scrub in a moment.

She walked over to a door and peeked in, then turned back to me and said: “Ok, now don’t make any sudden moves once I open this door. Just take your time.” I figured it was a scrub room decked in rose petals or something extra he had them do for me so I was polite and said thank you, I will.

She turned my head towards the door and when she opened it I saw another masseuse working on someone. The masseuse moved out of the way and I saw my boyfriend was laying there getting a massage to! I couldn’t help but get a little loud like “oh my GOD BABY WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!?!”

My therapist tapped me lightly and I quieted down. Then both our therapists left the room and we had an hour to ourselves with a jacuzzi, champagne, strawberries, chocolate, fresh fruit, and obviously the most awesome make-out/thank you session ever. It.Was.AMAZING.

He had changed his entire schedule and skipped a MAJOR music event to be with me and I was floored.

He explained to me that he was on a delayed flight from LA to Orlando and that was why he had them stall my massage to get him there on time. He had them checking to see what time his flight landed, and was on the phone with them as soon as he did telling them HOW to deal with me and what to say when I asked why it was taking so long (because he knows I am very big on customer service and timing.)

The rest of the weekend was romantic, sweet, and fun. We stayed in the Hard Rock Hotel, went to dinner,dancing, clubs, and Disney World and of course loved each other all weekend long.

It was….. HEAVEN.

I sure HOPE my future husband can top that… since he and I are no longer together.

But nothing can take away from that beautiful Valentine’s Day.

My worst Valentine’s Day was going to a story to purchase my on gift. I had no boyfriend nor did I have a friend. So I went and purchase my on gift for Valentin’es Day.

i’m always by MYSELF on valentines day!

Ok, there are 2 stories that tie for worst Vday..
The first happened about 2 years ago. I was dating a guy. We’d been seeing each other for a few months. A week or so prior to the holiday, he asks what do I want to do for V-day. I was floored. I had the impression that he wasnt into the whole commercial day. Well, to make a long story short, he decides to surprise me. THe only thing he tells me is to be ready by 7 on the day of Valentine’s. The day comes he is texting and calling me all day. I am so hype. Then 7 comes and goes, but he is nowhere to be found. I am crushed b/c he had me all worked up about the day. So my BFF and I go out for drinks. He calls me later (while I am quite tipsy) talking about I stood him up. lol… then he gives me some crap about how he’d been calling me all night and I was avoiding him.. Needless to say that was the beginning of the end of my infatuation with him…

The other, I cooked a nice meal (just like the woman above). The only difference was I asked what did he want. I cooked his favorites. He didnt show up. Didnt even stress it. I invited his roommates and a few of my friends over and we ate the food cooked.

Needless to say I dont celebrate the holiday. Although this year, Ive had two request to celebrate the day with someone. If it happens, it happens and I will be surprised.

the craziest story? wow i got several… maybe valentines day and i are like oil and water… dont mix…. ingenuity? yeah i’ve had several good ones… maybe valentines day and i are like water and sugar…. completely soluable….

ok here’s the oil and water….

A female I was digging invited me to spend V day with her… my 1st yr of college and she said she was gonna let me play with her va-jay jay ( yeah i know) she was a star cheerleader and i was a second string linebacker… she was baaaad…. one thing i shoulda picked up on was she had alot of nice things and her apt off campus was laid although she stayed on campus (clearly i was in a booby trap)….i also worked for rps- the bootleg version of ups… (worked this out with the coach cause i wasnt on full scholarship and still had tuition to pay) so after working 2-8 am morning practice, weight training, class afternoon reps and study hall she asked me to take a ride with her to a friends house 90 minutes away and we’d chill @ her pad… cool…. by this time I was usually spent and looking @ teh 3 hour+ trip (up and back along with the time it took to get whatever she needed) i figured if i dozed off I’d have enough time to recharge and be ready fro when we got back…. fast fwd 2hours… completely knocked out I wake up to a bull horn and flashing lights…. wtf???? to make a long story short ( i wont kill you with the details) she was a muel on a run and the feds were on her tail…the car was wired and as well as she: they caught her couple months earlier and flipped her to get the connect and so she could avoid jail time she gave it all up!!.. luckily because of all the equipment i was never in danger of being connected (thank goodness) and they gave me a ride back to campus… (embarrassing and a shell shocked experience aty the same time)…. needless to say after everything she disappeared…. to this day i dont know what happened…. ill…

The sugar water one…..

My girlfriend and I were having problems off and on but the garvity of the situation left out so we called it quits…. which i thought i was being slick and ended it the day before valentines day….

As a way to get out from under my funk>>we had bad times but i really digged her… we both knew it wouldnt work no matter how hard we tried and the fact I had another female in my room ( she was completely in the nude and i didn’t leave her that way…another story) when she came over to use my phone that afternoon (i told her we could be friends but no more relationship) ..i digress my boy and I went to the mall and decided to get as many #’s as we could…. i ran into one of old co workers… i never found her attractive… but today she was baaaaad… anyways it was the day before valentines day and figured I’d chill with her (she was un attached as well)…we both were strapped for cash so we ended up at cinema cafe (a theater with cheap tickets cause it shows old movies)… while watching the movie and catching up on old times a thought popped into my head… so i scribbled on a piece of paper very quickly and gave it to her…. it read: would you go out with me? check yes, no or maybe….. she checked yes…. that was back in 1997… we’ve been together ever since…

Lol. Just the thought of responding makes me want to laugh.

So, I’m 15-years-old and I’m deeply in love with this kid named Bill. First of all, he never came to my house, never took me out and I would always meet him at his job at a local grocery store. He was only 16, himself.

So, Valentine’s Day approaches and somehow I scrape up $30, to get him a gift. I went all the way to Yonkers (which was on the other side of town), because they were closing and had a blow-out sale. I bought him some Tommy Hilfiger boxers, a tank top and a pair of socks and got it wrapped…

I bought him some balloons and went to drop it off at his job. LOL.

I went to his job after work and gave him the gift. He didn’t open it… and told me, “your gift is at mom’s crib.”

I waited and waited, until one day, almost a week later he invited me to his mom’s house — for the first time.

I got there and he had a random gift bag. Inside the bag was a t-shirt. I pulled the shirt of of the bag and it was a Ralph Lauren classic tee, with a flag on the front. It was damp. LOL.

He said, “I got you the shirt that you wanted… the one that you sweated me about.” I smiled.

I left his house and realized that the same shirt that I loved on him, was the same shirt he put in a bag and handed it to me like it was brand new. I was super salty. LOL.

In retrospect, he never told me that he washed his shirt, gave it to me and placed it in a bag for V Day. Of course, I got tired of being played and we eventually broke up. He was actually dating a girl named “Cassie” who went to my high school.

LOL. Classic.

OK… So I had the worst V-day ever in 2003. My BF at the time said he was going away on buisness. Well I decided to go out of town with my some of my friends so I wouldn’t be alone. Go to the spa and sip wine. ETC. Well the weather got bad so we decided not to go. I return home and find candles lit and food cooked and maxwell playing and I get excited thinking that my boo decided to surprise me and maybe he had put my friends up to cancelling our plans so I could really be with him. I climb the stairs and open the door to our bedroom only to find my BF fu**ing another girl from behind. He see’s me and doesn’t stop fu**ing her until he has his orgasm. I flipped out. The police were called. But I didn’t go to jail. But I now hate V-day. Fu** valentines day

^^^^^ Well shit, yours beat my story. Wow. Hopefully you at least broke something, like his furniture or his face.

Started talking to this guy a few years ago, things were going great. Less than 2 weeks before Valentine’s Day, he broke things off for no reason. No reason at all. Had to call the place where he was getting his present and tell them to cancel the order. Jackass. Looking back now, it’s funny though.

Thank goodness it didn’t last longer; that guy is all KINDS of fucked up, so good luck to whoever he’s with now.

Oh my goodness Bang Shang. What a fucking dirtbag asshole.

((((((((HUGS))))))))

I HATE VALENTINE’S DAY!!!

Gag

Let’s see the most romantic Valentine’s Day I had was last year. My boyfriend had joined the Marine Corps so from September to December I didn’t get to communicate with him except through letters. When I went to his graduation the first week of December and I saw a teddy bear in dress blues at the PX (not sure if that’s the correct term) and I mentioned that I wanted it, but when he offered to buy it I declined.

So he was gone again for Christmas and my birthday so the next time we actually got to see each other was Valentine’s Day. He actually caught a bus from Huntsville, Alabama where he was attending classes at all the way to Athens, GA. He called me to tell me he was outside my dorm and when I walked around the corner I saw him standing outside in his dress blues. When he came in he gave me the bear I had wanted back in December except it was a dark brown bear (he’s of the darker complexion so he explained he wanted one that resembled him.)

Later when we went back to his room he had another bear, a movie that I wanted, and two packs of Twizzlers (I LOVE Twizzlers) laying on the bed. I know it will be in my memory for a long time.

I remember I was dating this guy named Jonathan and while I was seeing him, I was going through a really bad separation/divorce. He picked me up from home and I didn’t know what to expect, because when I was married Valentines Day was a bad holiday for me. But Jonathan brought me over, and sat me down on the couch; he went to the kitchen and started cooking. He brought out a tray and a plate, on the plate he had roast beef, wild rice and some type of vegetable, following that he bought out a cooked lobster with melted butter with and something to drink. After the dinner I was so full and happy just because of the dinner. But that’s not all. Jonathan went back to the kitchen brought out a German chocolate cake and flowers; he placed it on the dinning room table and went to his room. He came out with a four cards and gave them to me, as I opened up the cards he left went back to his room came out with a box and placed it on my lap told me to open it, I opened it and it was some perfume, he left went back to his room came out with another box, and placed it on my lap and said open it, I opened it and it was a decorated key. At this point, I was getting ready to cry and I told him to stop. But he didn’t. He went back to his room and came out with another box placed it in my lap and told me to open it, and it was a pink teardrop necklace. It tried my best to hold back the tears that were slowly leaking out. He held me and kissed me and I just melted in his arms because I surrendered on that day, which was the best Valentines Day I ever had.

DAMN…….There are some sad sack dudes out there…..smdh. I do not have any V-day horror stories and though I believe as Rasta stated, that it’s an artificial day, I LOVE women so I play along to get along…lol….I make V-day da-bomb for my baby-girl. For those ladies who have a horror story, keep your head up and just know that ONE day you will be with a man who will do the damn thing right!

@Rastaman: You have the same philosophy as my exes. The only difference is u have stories that actually have burned you regarding V-Day. So I’m not gonna stab u w/cupids arrow. I’m with you, let’s rally for abolishing this ridiculous day OR at least get some fines in place for lovers who hurt you on V-Day. I got my sign ready! Lol!

In 2002, I got off work @ 3 went to a friends house. From there we went to Walmart and other stores, to pick up things for the next day which was Valentine’s Day, my parent’s anniversay and for my sister’s birthday which is the 15th.
I got things for a evening of romance with my man, actually a day because we were off. I bought food, rose pedals, flowers, wine, oils, sexy barely there outfits, and of course condoms!Needless to say I don’t remember that night or Valentine’s day or the day after! I spent all that money for nothing, a waste; sorry parents, sister, and boyfriend!
Valentine’s day came and went before I even knew it! I woke up in the intensive care unit at the hospital after a head on car accident! I stayed in that hospital for a good three or four weeks. One year later, looking forward to celebrating Valentine’s Day again, guess what? Another car accident this time two days before the big day of love!
Valentine’s Day, cars, and me don’t mix!

Valentine’s Day 2007:

My then “fake azz relationship” was going strong (or so I thought). To surprise him, I tried to keep it simple but personal. I knew he was a huge Lakers Fan so I created a simple basket of all his favorite things with the Lakers Tickets being the big surprise. He came over at 6:30. I showed him the basket at 6:45. Showed him the tickets at 6:50. He ran out the front door at 6:52….

He didn’t eat the meal, take the basket or the tickets..just ran out of the door. No call. No explanation until….

In May of 2007 he sent me a random email saying the following: ” I’m sorry. I had an upset stomach.”

I haven’t seen or heard anything else from this man since. Such a wonderful Valentine’s memory *insert sarcasm here*

I think Bangshang wins hands down

That’s just awful. Heartless bastard.

The more I read the more I appreciate my exes…LoL. Granted one of them ruined being in Paris for V-Day with his grumpy mood and the fact he tried to pick a fight in the metro but damn. It does not come close to any of yall stories. Sheesh.

Last Christmas I traveled home with my long time boyfirend fully expecting an engagement ring. We’d discussed it, shopped for it and agreed it should be done around family. I got pearl earrings, after a rough car trip home I calmed down and decide he wanted to surprise me, FAST FORWARD: Valentines Day my boyfriend took me out to a romantic night of poetry, food and drinks. We went every year and couples routinely got engaged there. I waited all night anticipating my magic moment, nothing. I figured he wanted to do it in private. We went home,nothing. I waited hoping the morning was the surprise, nothing. I asked if he even wanted to get married. He assured me he did as he drove me home and dropped me off. Happy Valentines Day to me. I broke it off a month later, when I went to collect my things from his house he showed me the engagement ring, didn’t propose, and said I just wanted you to know I was serious. HUH?!

I’ve had some Horror stories of my own.. but one Valentines comes to mind!

My first real boyfriend and I being young and in love were like…You wanna skip school and spend the day together? So of course, being blinded and enamoured (and a darn good student), i say yes. Not as if we were going to calebrate, but I matter of factly knew that we just wanted the quality time and nothing more (cuz we weren’t sexually active…Yet!). So I told him I’d make brunch. We both agreed that that was as special as it was going to get! His sister let me into their home citing “he’s in the shower”, so i went str8 to the kitchen. So i’m gettin my martha stuart on making heart shaped pancakes, strawberry syrup & such while he’s getting dressed so we can catch a matinee. Brunch is just about ready when i realize i’ve been alone in the kitchen for about 45 minutes! I called out to him to let him know I was almost done and he comes hurrying into the kitchen like he stole somethin! “Uh, hey Baby… I didn’t know u were here already!” I looked at him suspiciously cuz he had this really stupid look on his face and was kind of disheveled like he threw somethin on and I’m like “Whatchu mean, I been here like an hour u didn’t smell a home cooked meal?”… he shrugged and straightened out his gear. I asked him what wrong and he said “Nothing. I just thought you were gonna call before you came. It’s cool though, you ready to bounce?”.. to which i replied “Bounce?, I thought we were gonna eat here before the movie.” Homeboy was like ‘Umm..Oh yeah, but lemme grab my jacket and I’ll brb.” so he goes scrambling back to his room, and my speidey senses are like “Oh hell naw, do we have company?” I followed him to his room and as i get to his door he slips out of it and holds me back like “heeey, gurl! What u doing?” and I’m like “Nothing, why u blockin the door?” Buddy was like “Blocking? Door? girl dont be silly I was just coming out while u were comin in that’s all.” I asked hime to open the door cuz i swore it smelled like str8 up bath and body works slapped me as he closed it before. And he said no, fueling the fire! So I was like “So u hiding shit from me now? I come all the way from home (20 miles away) to spend the day, skip school and u just gonna…” And then I heard a loud “POP” sound. Pissed and having decided if he was cheating I dont deserve to know what he threw away our love for I just gave him a “Fuck you glare” and turned to walk away when he pulled my arm and opened the door to show me his little project. This Boy Filled the room with Balloons; some hear shaped, lit some scented candles threw rose petals all over and made a heart shaped out of like 10 rows of hershey Kisses on the bed, Before which, he had one a huge stuffed black gorilla (which i really wanted and he found out from my friend) with a charm bracelet on it’s wrist, one of the sweetest cards i’ve ever gotten on its chest. It wasn’t lovemaking under a waterfall or nothin like that, but for teenagers, it was pretty cute.

My worst V-Day was 2 day…My BF and I got new cell phne number that were 2 digits off from each other’s, he keeps mixing our numbers up. Neway…@ 5am when I woke up, I had 6 missed txts. I didn’t recognize the number. I opened the txt only 2 find pics of some ugly ass broad… 1 face pic…and 4 nude pics…and a text sayin I hope u like Daddy…I am so single now!!!
