Why I hate Valentines Day

Ah, Valentines day. A holiday for lovers, for young couples and old alike. Key words: lovers. Couples.

What could I possibly hate more than being alone? Not much. But mostly it's my own fault.

I know, for a fact, that I could get a girlfriend in a single day, if I wanted to. I've been told so numerous times. I also know, for a fact, that there are girls out there that I'd absolutely love to go out with. It's all my principles that get in the way.

First of all, I would never try to steal an attached girl. In my opinion, it's wrong. This is very unfortunate, as I only seem to go for girls who are already dating.

Secondly, I'm waiting until I have my liscense to ask anyone out. I'd hate to have my parents pick up my girlfriend. Who wouldn't?

Thirdly, I won't settle for anyone who I'm not crazy about. I know a lot of people date for status reasons only. I'm not like that.

Now, I know that these sound like high morals, or at least two of them, but I'm still going nuts. Sometimes I wish I wasn't such a great guy. :-)

This is why Valentines day is quite possibly my least favorite holiday of the year. It's just another reason for me to drive myself crazy over my single state of being.

"Fall not in love, therefore; It will stick to your face."
