Ahhh, February 14. Hearts and roses, reservations and red lingerie. Sounds romantic, but let's get real here, ladies: V-Day can be anything but victorious. And who do we have to thank for that? M-E-N. Okay, besides the three guys on earth who come up with creative dinner ideas and adorable trips in advance (and honey, if you have one, hold on like a glove to a ski tow), most of the male species disappoints.
From terrible gifts to a sudden case of amnesia (wait, wasn't today, uh, Lincoln's birthday or something?), many of us are left hanging ... even those of us who think Valentine's is the cheesiest day of the year. Read on for more cringeworthy moves.
1. Saying he doesn't believe in hokey commercial holidays two seconds after you've given him a cute card.
2. Telling you, "God, we're never going to be able to get a dinner reservation tonight because it's stupid Valentine's Day."
3. Giving you wilted supermarket flowers.
4. Confiding to you at a Valentine's singles party that the only thing he finds appetizing are the free red martinis.
5. E-mailing you the morning of the 14th to say, "Hey, so what are you up to tonight?" He's not asking you out, just wondering if you'll be out with someone else.
6. Taking you to a fast-food drive-through, then renting Basic Instinct and inviting you back to his dorm room/shady apartment to watch it with his roommate.
7. Handing you a rose cast in gold because "This flower won't die. Just like my feelings for you will never die, baby."
