When it comes to celebrating Valentine’s Day, there are two types of people in the world.
On one hand, there are the taken girls who love Valentine’s Day because it’s pretty much a competitive sport among women to be the envy of all their bae-less besties.
Plus, it’s the only socially acceptable day to seriously flaunt how much your amazing boyfriend spoils you with gifts.
On the other hand, there’s everyone else who pretty much hates this over-hyped Hallmark holiday, like all the boyfriends who dread shelling out insane amounts of money to make their girlfriends happy.
Not to mention, all those single people out there who get to spend an entire day being constantly reminded they are lonely, loveless losers.
In a way, this lovely holiday is almost like going to a club on New Year’s Eve.
You put in lots of careful planning and preparation to ensure you will have the most epic night of your life, and you are so exited you don’t even care about emptying out your bank account to buy a ticket for a club you normally go to for free.
Year after year, however, things never really go as planned, and the night always turns out the same way.
You’re drunk, alone, disappointed and dangerously close to racking up a few insufficient funds charges on your debit card.
Even if you are lucky enough to share Valentine’s Day with someone you love, your expectations of this highly anticipated occasion will usually leave you pretty pissed with Cupid and ready to swear off any day that revolves around a flying baby armed with arrows once and for all.
