Your Guide To A Perfect Valentine’s Day: Part 3

For 364 days of the year, you’re encouraged to be self-reliant and completely content by yourself. However, thanks to Hallmark and other masters of marketing, we have been brainwashed to believe that on Feb. 14, you are a complete loser if you are alone. Perhaps not.
Imagine suffering a horrendous breakup the week before Valentine’s Day. This sad but true event happened to my roommate, Alley. The dreaded day was fast approaching and her good friend Steve had offered to take her out on Valentine’s Day to cheer her up. However, as soon as they got to the sushi restaurant, Steve began ordering multiple Belvedere martinis and expensive sashimi.
As the evening wore on, Steve became more inebriated and actually began to whistle at other women as they walked by. In the midst of buying other women drinks and the disgusting perversions pouring out of his mouth, the bill came and as Steve took out his credit card, he told Alley, ‘We’ll split this.’ Stunned, she reached for her credit card and handed it to the waitress. The waitress promptly returned, explaining that Steve’s card had been declined.
Furious, Alley signed the receipt for $235 and promised herself that on the following Valentine’s Day, she would buy herself a box of chocolates and give herself a spa day. So this year, if your dreams of romance, roses and chocolates never materialize, things could be worse.

The closer I got to the door, the louder the commotion inside my apartment resonated. There in our living room, three roommates, now including myself, stood watching another fuming roommate stumble across the house from one room to another. She was throwing with force, stuffed animals, books and letters into a large American Eagle shopping bag. She picked up a soft green blanket, ‘Hmm

Your Guide To A Perfect Valentine’s Day: Part 4

Other than Christmas, Valentine’s Day is by far the most emphasized day for gift-giving. Forget the turkey and Santa; cupid has his sharp arrows pointed directly at every man’s wallet. For those lucky enough to get away, they may celebrate Singles Awareness Day by spending their hard-earned money in the form of self-love, but for the unfortunate others, the spirit of consumerism haunts them through every Hallmark store and flower shop. Gifts for both men and women may range from the romantically extravagant to the overtly erotic, but is this love?
In my opinion, love should be unconditional. It is not about the ‘who,’ ‘what’ or ‘why’ but about the ‘how.’ How does one love? How do you express it and how much?
According to a friend of mine, the most romantic gift she has ever received was a simple but endearing gesture of consideration. Every special occasion that she has spent with her boyfriend of two years has included generic flowers or a dinner. Their relationship soon grew dull and predictable, so last Valentine’s, he decided to change their usual routine by offering to cook dinner rather than going out. Not knowing what to expect, she showed up to find two bowls and a bottle of milk with a single box of alphabet cereal in between. Upon closer inspection she realized that the cereal letters were laid out in the form of a mini-love letter.
She was impressed by his creativity, but she said that the highlight of the night was finding a double-sided picture frame with one side displaying their photograph and the other with a timeline of important dates since their first encounter. Though the gift wasn’t grand, the gesture revealed how much she’d meant to him.
