I'm going to tell you a secret that no single girl should admit...
*whispers* I don't like Valentine's Day!
No, seriously... I guess the heading might have given me away!
It's not shameful to not like Valentine's Day; I know many couples that eschew the festivities. But I'm not part of a couple.
I AM ALONE. (Wow - how much bitterness can capital letters convey?! ;) )
My aloneness makes my dislike of V Day take on spinster proportions.
"You only dislike it because you are sad and lonely."
"Once a man snaps you up you'll enjoy it."
"You're just bitter that you're alone on the most romantic day of the year."
But it's just not true.
If not having a boyfriend at this time of year is more annoying than at other times - for me, it's surely because when I'm part of a couple, I can dislike V Day without anyone saying anything about it.
As much as I adore love and romance - the thought of someone being romantic because they're told to because it's a certain day is too cringey for me. I'd be mortified. I'd much rather have a spontaneous box of chocolates, box of chocolates, fluffy teddy bear or box of chocolates on any other/every other day of the year.
Actually, to be honest, I'd rather have a book!
And if anyone even thought about proposing to me on 14th February then I would have to say no out of principle!
Perhaps I should put that on a dating website - Girl looking for a guy. I don't need anything for Valentine's Day so no pressure!
So this is just a post where I stand up and say...
I'm single and I don't like Valentine's Day.
Don't judge me! :D
You go, girl! :o)
