Yesterday being Valentine’s Day I took the opportunity to send messages of love and appreciation to my closest friends and family. Just like in all other instances this group of people that I’ve grown to rely on reciprocated the love and appreciation; and this demonstration kept my head above water on an otherwise lonesome day …

Any other day my phone is blowing up with fellas wanting to take me out on dates and another handful that have moved on from trying to woo me and very blatantly arrange bootycalls. I embrace all the variations of relationships with men that I have and for that reason I was shocked that yesterday my phone was completely silent. When I finally decided to quit waiting around and texted a few of my favorite dudes … Even my slutty inviting text messages garnered lackluster — or zero — responses! One guy waited until the whole holiday was over to respond and today, Feb. 15, wants me to come over! Ha!

I know V-Day puts a lot of pressure on men. They have to worry about gift-giving or planning a special evening. Not only that but they must worry about how it may be interpreted as an indication of what a relationship is or where it’s going. I’m assuming these otherwise chivalrous (pfft… sarcasm!) men would have loved to spend time with me but didn’t want to give me the impression that — God forbid — they might have some emotional investment in our relationship.

I can understand why men would rather hide on V-Day. It’s a tad shady and will definitely get you NOT laid on Feb. 15 but I guess I can appreciate the “honesty.”
