Moshe’s Girlfriend
Q: How long have you been with your girlfriend/boyfriend?
A: Four months
Q: How do you define being in love?
A: Being in love is when you give your heart to this special person to hold, entrusting its care and safety with them. It’s when you realize that they treat your heart with the upmost care and nurturing and they protect it with their life. It’s when they do all this and don’t even realize it they’re holding it.
Q: What are your plans on Valentines Day?
A: When you’re truly in love, celebrating on the “actual day” doesn’t matter…at least to us. Anyway, Valentine’s Day plans are scattered over various days this year.

Q: What made you fall in love with them?
A: It’s not what made me fall in love with him but who he is that made me fall in love with him. He’s perfect and imperfect in the best possible ways for me. I couldn’t ask for someone that would amazingly complement me more.
Singles on Valentines Day
Jackie Ruckert
Q: What do you plan on doing on Valentines Day?
A: I plan to go out with my other 2 single roommates and party while my other 2 roommates are out with their boyfriends.
Q: How do you define love?
A: To me, love is that deep connection you have with someone that you dont have with anyone else. Love should be like home. You should feel at home with the person you love:safe, protected, cared for and loved in return.
Q: Do you think people can take Valentines Day too far?
A: Some people definitely take valentines day way too far. Especially now that, like every other holiday, it’s a way for companies to make money. I think alot of people take it too far in that it’s almost like Feb. 14th, out of all the 365 daysa year, they expect something. They expect to be shown they are loved with flowers, candy, romantic dinners, etc, when actually you should be shown you are loved every single day. Not just once a year. Also I think it kinda promotes sex in a way that can be unwanted. I feel like people tend to see valentines day as a way to “show their love” for their significant other and this is often done through sexual behaviors, which isn’t good for some relationships. Some might feel they “owe” their significant other sex on this day, or they feel they have to do something that maybe they really don’t want to. Sex does not equal love and love does not, in any way, equal sex.
