Now, she brings up a good point about going out on V-Day if you’re single. Chances are, you won’t meet any liars who are married but claim they’re single…you’ll meet REAL singles. How nice! I also like her advice to not put pressure on the guy and to let him be romantic in his own way. And don’t laugh at his gift, no matter what.
Where I tend to disagree—umm, cringe—is when she says offer your single friends online dating subscriptions. The last thing I would want to get from a friend who’s partnered up is a gift that says “get yourself a good man—I’ll pay for it”. A blind date is one thing, but a dating membership is kind of like saying “I don’t want to introduce you to any of my friends, but maybe some online stranger will find you attractive”. I don’t know…that would suck.
I want to say a special thanks to all of my friends for NEVER, EVER doing this for me. You rock.
Any other V-Day advice you’d like to give? Thanks for the feedback!

Haha great tips. Except for the advert, which you pointed out. I will not appreciate that kind of “gift.”

V-day advice is great, thank you for the help. But I’m looking for some V-jay jay advice. Would he like a landing strip, or should I go bald? Maybe just a little puff?

Hey Betty,
Like your blog. I say go bald, because life is short. Enjoy!
