Valentine Blues! - 3SmartCubes.com

1. 10pm on February 14 will probably find you:

Out with friends, ridiculing all the gooey couples
Trying to put a polite end to another disastrous date
Reluctant to get into your jammies, just in case someone calls
At home, in bed, alone.

2. If you were going to see a movie on Valentine's Day, it'd be:

The Shipping News: a remote, desolate island doesn't sound half bad
The Count of Monte Cristo: sword-fights, vengeance -- nothing smushy
Something long, so you can get a few hours' relief from your date.
A Walk to Remember: you like those "love conquers all" flicks.

3. The best thing about Valentine's Day is:

You usually get a nice valentine from your Aunt Emily.
You get a night off from giving relationship advice to all your coupled -friends.
You can bond with other single buddies about how lame it is.
You might get a free dinner.

4. The worst thing about Valentine's Day is:

Trying to find something to do.
Everyone gets flowers at the office but you.
The commercialism.
Restaurants are so crowded you and your friends can't get a table.

5. You've scrounged up a last-minute date for Valentine's Day:

Once or twice -- but it was never as fun as you hoped.
Never -- why bother, the whole holiday is stupid.
Never -- why bother, you have more fun with your friends.
Numerous times -- and lived to regret it.

6. The first two weeks of February, you're usually:

Looking for something to do on Valentine's Day.
Looking at all the red and pink decorations with wistful longing.
Looking forward to March.
Looking on with scorn as your coupled friends argue about what to do on Valentine's Day.

7. Overall, your dislike of Valentine's Day has been shaped by:

Bad timing -- you never seem to be dating anyone in February.
Bad memories -- you miss the person you shared your best V-Days with.
High expectations and low returns.
Deep-rooted cynicism about all that love stuff.

8. What do you remember about last year's Valentine's Day?

You ignored the whole thing.
You vowed that next year you'd have a good time no matter what .
You were with someone different and it didn't work out.
You hoped your crush would ask you out.

9. What if someone you aren't interested in asks you out for Valentine's Day?

You'll thank him graciously, turn him down and be glad you got at least one offer.
You'll tell him frankly that Valentine's Day isn't your thing.
You'll thank him and invite him along on a night out with a big group.
You'll agree to go out with him -- at least you'll have something to do.
