V-day

Let’s be honest , I’m sitting on my couch at my apartment with a friend. We are talking about Valentines Day and how much it is going to suck this year.

This year we broke up with our boyfriends.

This week, we stopped dating our potentials.

This Valentines Day we will be officially Date-less.

I mean, we could have waited until after V-Day to tell the boys its over, but if we’re being serious, we could not take another second of them.


So let’s assess the situation.

I don’t exactly know the history of V-day, but whoever thought of it sure had a good idea. A good idea that caught on

But I feel that if a man decides that he is going to take one night to treat the girl the way she is suppose to be treated everyday, then that is not a man worth having around. People get comfortable in situations, they forget how to open doors, how to be nice, how to go out of their way and show they care. But, if we make it a national holiday ( I don’t know if it’s official seeing as we don’t get the day off or anything, but its national so I guess that counts just as well.) then a guy suddenly remembers what it’s like to have a little chivalry.

So what is a girl to do?

Well that is still something I am trying to figure out. Last year, my friend called me and said, “ I hate today, I hate being single, and I hate that everyone is out on a date right now.”

Of course I ignored his childish manner, because, 1: I had a boyfriend and could not relate. 2: Boys that whine about something they can change upsets me.

But it got me thinking. I guess not all guys think of this as an OBLIGATION on their part.

But I really feel like I’m too much of a feminist to ever let a guy pay for EVERYTHING.

I like going Dutch sometimes… And I really hate when girls let guys pay for their expenses. Its cute once-in-a-while.. But it gets ridiculously old quick.

I think that is my main problem. Im caught in-between letting a guy go nuts on you for a day, and then having everything go back to normal.

So how do I really feel about this day? I have no idea.
