Are you excited for Valentines Day? Lets take a look at what one proud single woman, Melissa Putterman and what one happily taken woman, Laura Hagenah, has to say!

Are you excited for Valentines Day?

MP: Yes. I’m really excited. I love buying myself chocolate!

LH: Yes! Maybe I’ll get a present!

What is it like being single on valentines day?

MP: depressing.

LH: I know I’m not single, but I honestly hate PDA.

Are you going to get your significant other a gift?

LH: No… What would I get him?

MP: If by significant other you mean my dog, also no.

Are you going to go out to dinner on valentines day?

LH: We don’t have a reservation, so it’ll be impossible

MP: Potentially by myself.

Do you have a valentine?

MP: Justin Beiber… But he doesn’t know it.

LH: Yes.

What your favorite rom-com/romantic movie?

MP: The Proposal or How to Lose a Guy in 10 days

LH: Crazy Stupid Love

Do you think soul mates exist?

LH: Nope

MP: I don’t believe in one. But I do think there are people you are meant to encounter in your life. Like I love the quote its something like “everyone serves a purpose in your life.” Whether it helps you grow, etc.

Do you think opposites or same type attract?

MP: you definitely need similar beliefs and values. But I’m sure at the beginning of a relationship, opposites attract.

LH: Word

Ideal romantic gesture?

MP: ya know from that one movie that guy who holds up the boom box on a lawn mower. I don’t know if its ideal, but I like it.

LH: Letting me do what I want. Take that as you will.
