Well, it's that time of year again: Flowers are being bought in huge bouquets, chocolates are being made in heart shaped containers, diamond rings and other accessories are being purchased by nervous guys hoping and praying for a yes.
On the flip side: tissues, ben & Jerry's, sappy love movies, and horror movies are being bought either on or the night before the so-called holiday that we celebrate by women in sweat pants whose eyes shoot daggers at any man to pass by them.
I fall in neither category. I had an early Vday with 2 awesome girl friends of mine, two of us are single and the other has a bf who is currently in basic training. We celebrated early so I could be at church, but we had a blast and I had more fun that I would on a date with a guy. Here's my 5 reasons why:
5. I dressed up for my friends. This means they noticed things girls notice that we women WISH guys would notice. Like "That color looks SO good on you!" "What a pretty necklace!" "Your hair is AMAZING"
4. No awkward "Who's paying" debacle. A HUGE plus.
3. We didn't have to worry about the "kiss goodnight". We all know that ain't happening.
2. No awkward conversation, AND we didn't have to worry about what to get...well except for dessert...which pie to pick!
1. I had so much fun. Nothing was awkward or forced, and we could be totally open. Afterward we could just go back to my house and watch funny Youtube videos while we were in sweatpants and tee shirts.
Now, I'm not saying I wouldn't love to go on a date with a guy. However, if you know me you also know I have the potential to be really awkward. So ladies and gents of blogland, I dedicate this blog to you. Happy Valentines Day.
If you're single: Happy Single's Awareness Day (SAD for short). And don't worry, they'll come along at some point. Until then, smile and be happy you don't have to go on an awkward date.
And if you're a sweet, single, Christian guy between the ages of 19 and 23, with a sense of humor who likes long walks on the beach, reading, dogs, chocolate, funny movies, and has a thing for slightly off yet funny entertaining 19 year old girls with short brown hair and a big sense of humor....
Just Kidding!...about the long walks on the beach
Happy Valentine's Day Y'all!
