I was a Sophomore in HS...she wanted a Cabbage Patch Kid. I begged, borrowed, and stole for that $60.00 rag. She took the Cabbage Patch Kid and then dumped me.

Never again have I bought another V-Day present for anyone.

Men, have you ever been used for a gift during this time of year?

    Your warning sign was that she wanted a cabbage patch kid and she was in high school.

    And yeah, I was stuck in the friendzone with this girl and thought I could power my way out of it on Valentine's day. Went all out with the dinner, flowers and chocolate.

    Fail.

    The force was too strong. Got nothing in return. No gifts, nothing. Maybe a thank you.

    Pull yourself together man! Every one has had some one be a jerk to them on valentine's day! the trick is not to let the knocks get you down.

    Really a cabbage patch doll?

    There was a rumor in high school that I was rather large down below. I was also rather geeky/marching band/dungeons and dragons kind of kid so I never got dates.
    A girl asked me out because I think she heard the rumor. I was excited, got my mom to drive me to dinner and movie. I paid for everything. We kissed then she got all weird and said that I raped her.. it was just a kiss.

    She got a free diner and movie out of me. I was left with two rumors, and conflicting information since she could not verify my girth. (since I kept it in my pants).

    The rumors still live on Mr. Meat.

    Don't see point in Valentines Day at all, let alone presents. Don't want a gift so hope no one ever gives me one. Consumerism at it's finest.

    I never had a Valentine's Day date in high school.

    Not one.

    Ever.

    10th grade the guy broke up with me the last week of January and then asked me out again a week after Valentine's Day.

    11th grade the guy called me on Valentine's Day from his ex-girlfriend's house and the conversation started something like "Ginger, we need to talk."

    12th grade, I had to work on the 14th because I was the lonely girl with no boyfriend that day. But as luck would have it, I had conned a guy into going out to lunch with me on a field trip 2 days before Valentine's Day. He took me out on the 15th to sushi, and 2 kids later.....

    Is this serious?

    You're comparing a high school relationship to an adult one? I mean, that was crappy of her (and a weird request from someone that age), but in a committed, adult relatioship, that experience shouldn't matter. Get over it, dude.

    I've never liked valentines day. Even when I was married, but it really got ruined for me when my exhusband brought me home WHITE roses (that where dying no less) (also I ****ing hate roses and he knows that) and then left me two weeks later.

    I always have anti valentines days, gory horror movies with no happy endings. Last year I was dating a guy and he was really into the idea so we stayed in our pajamas all day and watched a ton of scary movies and drank beer. It was a good day.

    Edit: I have a strict no present rule on valentines day, flowers maybe or I give a guy chocolates and a card but I don't think it should go above that, save that stuff for Christmas.

    My friend had to tell me on Valentine's Day that the guy I had been seeing was now seeing someone else. Apparently he couldn't tell me himself and thought ignoring me was the best option.

    Yesterday I got 4 cupcakes because my SO has to work tonight. I am much better off now. Cupcakes! :heart:

    That is especially weird, since you were probably a sophomore in high school around the same time I was, and those dolls went out, like, 5 years before that?!

    My ex decided around 3 he wanted me to come over for valentines. A little back story; He is a hardcore Christian whose whole family thought I was the devil because I am not as religious as they are.

    Essentially he drove me to his place to fool around. Surprise! His parents show up. He told me to stay put and he would be right back. I ended up watching three movies by myself while him and his family bashed me in the other room an ate pie.

    Then he came back and expected a bj.

    (I lived over an hour away from him and didn't drive let alone know what buses to take, otherwise I would have booked it out of there)

    You know, when I was in elementary school, I had this huge crush on this boy. He was all like "ew, you're a girl" and I was all like "I want you to be my boyfriend."

    Imagine my surprise when he gave me a watch for Christmas. Well, it was him and his friend put they're money together and bought it for me. But I was just all over the moon.

    By middle school, he wouldn't even speak to me. :sad: :brokenheart:

    Now, we are FB friends for life! :drinker:

    Some background to what prompted this post....a couple of my interns are snickering and boasting about all the free things they're going to get. I recalled that "once upon a time" story. I celebrate V-Day just like most do, but I don't make it about a product, I try to make it a more personal thing.

    So there...you bunch of witch hunters. Leave me alone and let people tell their horror stories. If you don't like it, go buy a cat.
