I have a partner and his Birthday is Valentines.

What scares me about valentines is u can get it sooo wrong. I once got a card, and roses from a guy I worked with, or at least I thought it was from him. I have to mention I didn't know his Christian name, It was a big place and he was just someone you saw now and then.

The quiet type I thought he had been waiting for his chance. So I proudly put my trophy on my desk, where all the saddo's that had been forgotten could see it.

And basically enjoyed my day. I got another cheaper card that day extremely budget........and that night a phone call asking me out to dinner.

Of course I said yes.....Unfortunately "egg on my face" The guy that turned up, wasn't who I thought he was, but his co-worker a short guy I m 182. Worse evening of my live, not only was he the nastiest looking person in the Restaurant, he also ate like a pig, and talked loudly over everyone elses conversation.

So Hey I'm anti the anonymity that goes with valentines Day.

Thanks Maita,

Happy Valentines day, where is my chocolates box....hahaha.

The err you made in the fan mail Morantic does mean something nice. A combination of "moronic" and "romantic." Someone who actually believes in true love.
