So here's the story: This girl I know who on various occasions I have gotten to know very well, recently inquired about my availability on Valentine's Day.
I was taken aback as I was not expecting this kind of question from her.
First off, she is my friend, not a great one albeit, but a friend and I don't want to lead her in the wrong direction. I simply stated my feelings on the holiday as a whole and not how I felt about her.
I told her that I didn't believe in V-day and see it as a marketing ploy created by large corporations. A way for capitalists to take advantage of some poor schmuck who thinks he's in love. A way to make people feel awful about themselves unless they are contributing in consumerism of some sort. A nice teddy bear and chocolates from mom is the perfect remedy for that lingering feeling of loneliness in your heart.
She didn't tell me her view on V-day but needless to say, she proposed that we have dinner even after my feelings were expressed.
I felt as though as just spoke to a brick wall. She is quite a cook and said she would cook for the both of us. I accepted. I may get her flowers b/c I'm just a romantic kinda guy, but I wonder if this is going against my morals and leading her on at the same time.
Whatever the case may be, I think Valentines Day should only be there for couples truly in love to enjoy, and those truly alone to dis pare.
I can't stand valentine's day! For real. why should couples get a day that is just for them. I say everyone should clog all the fancy restaurants with their friends and bring large parties so lame couples can't celebrate properly. ALSO, most couples who go nuts on valentine's day don't spend enough time with each other the rest of the year. if couples really liked one another, they wouldn't need to show it ONE day of the year, they would be loving each other and doing nice things for each other all the time. they wouldn't have to prove how much they loved each other on valentine's day.
