I really am not anti-Valentine's Day. Granted, I am a lot more "pro" February 14th when I am dating someone, but happy couples don't annoy me any more today than they do every other day.
What I do dislike are people who feel sorry for singles or who try to pair you up just because of the date on the calendar.
I had a friend ask me to join her and some friends for a movie and a beer this afternoon. What she failed to mention was that she had recently started seeing someone, and this was really a set-up. Yes - a surprise, blind, double-date on Valentine's Day.
Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. Who does that?
And no, it was not a pleasant experience. The movie was a bust, the dinner was so-so, and the companionship? Well, I really wish I'd stayed home with a BSG season one and some Advil PM. blech.
