Re-gifted
“In high school, I was dating a freshman in college. I was so excited for Valentine’s Day because he was older, so I thought he would do something so extravagant. I spent hours making him a homemade card, baking him his favorite cookies, and even bought him an expensive shirt. I drive all the way to his college, and when I get there, there are no flowers or stuffed animals. Instead, he hands me a package his grandma had sent him. No, he didn’t put the thoughtful gift he bought me inside the box. He literally just gave me the care package from his grandma- even the Valentine’s Day card signed Love, Nana.”
Girl’s Got Game
“One year I double booked Valentine’s dates… had to kick one out because the other one was on his way over. But, I got a teddy bear and a date to prom. Why did I have more game in high school than I do now?”
& Who Said Chivalry Is Dead?
“I had a boyfriend tell me he was home for a funeral and couldn’t take me out for valentines day… turns out he just wanted to go to the Pike Valentine’s Day party.”
To Be Young and In Love
“On Valentine’s Day in 4th grade, my “boyfriend” threw a bear at me on the school bus because we were too afraid to talk to each other, and it hit me in the head. He made me cry, so I broke up with him on AIM. Ah, memories.”
Tough Love
“In fourth grade, I really liked this guy and I thought he was going to write a really nice message to me on my Valentine but instead he wrote ‘I hate you’.”
Girls Like Teddy Bears… Don’t They?
“With Christmas, birthdays, our anniversary, and Valentine’s Day so close to each other, my boyfriend and I decided to exchange things that we actually needed instead of random gifts. I gave him a whole list of things I wanted, but the day we were doing presents, he told me he went out on a limb and would be so surprised. While we were out to dinner, he told the company’s name as a hint of what he got me. I looked up pictures on Google and thought he was kidding. They were huge teddy bear necklaces that looked like they were meant for fifth graders. I died laughing and wouldn’t stop making fun of him. An hour later, we exchanged gifts… it wasn’t a joke. “
