*Sigh* Where Is The Love?

So.

Valentines Day swiftly approches. This is a long awaited, or dreaded, day, utilized by thousands as an excuse to buy a shitty card and flowers to show their love for a signifigant other.

What will I be doing, you ask?

If this world was perfect, I would get my girlfriend sunflowers (her favorite), take her to dinner, and then take her to see a movie she has wanted to see for a while. After that, should the timing be right, give her a long, passion-filled kiss that would blow her away.

Sadly, this world is not perfect.

So, I will just have to settle with giving her a lone sunflower and a "Happy Valintines Day" with a warm smile. Simple, but all I can afford.

But to the point of this post, what do you think of the day of love? I think it's sad that this is the one day people expect affection in physical form. They should expect it every day, because if it's not, then it's not love now is it? Also sadly, I can't say that I am in love. While the reasons I will leave privet (because they are) she isn't 100% sure of her sexual orintation. So, I can't say I love her because I don't want her to break it off and have my heart broken. This way, I can protect me from myself.

In layman's terms, f*ck my life.

But enough about me and my uninteresting life, what are your plans (or lack thereof) for Valintines Day?

going to get this out of the way, 'private'

Now then, as for how I feel about Valentine's day, I absolutely hate it. I have never had anyone special to me in that way. Most females I know are so shallow that looks and parental money are more important. In our school in our senior class, There were three guys that had their lives planned out. None of them could get a girl. There were guys that had looks, were in bands (that have since fallen apart) or had rich parents. They had girls up to their armpits. Since I graduated, I have found three girls I had interest in. One was already in a relationship, one didn't want to try, and the third was just out of a relationship and did not want to date outside of their religion. I am reminded of all of these things every year I get to see all the Valentine's Day events going on around town. All it does is remind me of my lack of relationships and lack of females that realize that maybe, that guy who has his shit together and doesn't treat them like crap, might just be the guy they are looking for (aka, They are Rarity going to the gala, not after the gala).

I'm gonna be spending mine in Roswell, New Mexico with my sister and her fiancee. 'Nuff said.

It's not that important of a holiday to me. It really doesn't make much of a difference to me what happens during it. It's just another day that I'm gonna be living.

I see.
That was my pain with girls for a long time before I had the luck to meet my girlfriend. That and how my (younger) brother has better luck (and I mean that in a weird sense because the girls he dates often break his heart... poor guy ) with the ladies made me feel inferior and alone. I was and am surrounded by the pre-Gala Rarities and it makes me so frustrated with my generation, something stupid shit like "swag" and "yolo" has only furthered . But, I held out hope that I would meet someone, and as fate would have it, I did . So, I guess my point is, have faith that not all girls are ignorant like the ones you have described. We all have someone waiting for us, somewhere.
But, this day is useless. We are at a full agreement there.
