Two posts in one day - WOT IS THIS SORCERY?! Some could say I'm working overtime on Valentine's Day to spread the love... others could say I've really badly organised my time and blog post backlog. But the exact answer to this question can neither be confirmed or denied.
I do proper enjoy mixing up my content with a dating blog post or twelve; ferociously typing up some of my most hilarious failed interactions with males & posting them online purely for the lols. And you guys seem to enjoy these kinda posts too... so what better time is there rly to talk about relationships, dating and love [be these failed attempts or proper romantic AF situations] than on actual Valentines Day?! Grab yaself a tea [you can even spill some in my DMs if ya like xoxo] and enjoy my Vday Special.
[as you can probably tell, I'm romantic AF me. And this is despite of the fact that I do, in theory, actually have a 'boyfriend' who will no doubt want to drop this fab Prezzybox notebook through a shredder if he sees it.]
What is it?
Valentine's Day is just yet another way that Hallmark and them dead expensive Instagram florists bum us for our hard earned cash each year. Let's be honest. BUT it can be alright - even tolerable - if ya fella pulls his finger out and gets you something not totally sh*t. Or if you're into romance and being nice to people. Which, as you may have guessed from my Love Layla Valentine's Day Card picks post [and also might just decipher from the notebook above] aren't things I tend to do.
Who's it for?
Urm, everyone. I'd get my hamster a card if I could, but just like all the presents I've ever given him; he'll only f*cking eat it.
What to expect?
Countless boy done good statuses. Brace yourself, cos they are coming. Lots of soppy tweets, the inability to book a table for one ANYWHERE half decent as everywhere is fully booked [except probs for proper shady places like Carlitos pizza] and, if you're really unlucky, someone really inappropriate professing their love to you. Perhaps with an oversized balloon. Or a butt plug.
What should I do for it?
Whatever the sh*t you like, hun. You might wanna celebrate the day with friends or family that you love in a purely platonic way. Or with your cats. You might even wanna spend the entire day reading my blog. Alternatively, you may wanna drink your sorrows away with the girls whilst frantically swiping right on Tinder... or use the day as excuse to show ya bae how much you love and / or fancy them.
There's no rules. There's nothing which says you HAVE to go for a fancy meal and be greeted with a bouquet of 50 red roses & a Chanel bag. You might wanna nip down the Asda for a curry and then have a cheeky shag in the shower later on. Whatever floats ya boat xoxo
What if I'm single?
Don't sweat it, babycakes. You've swerved potential awkwardness, having to splash cash on another human [when that money could be spent on cheese for yourself] and you don't need to shave your legs. Who's really winning here?
What if I fancy someone?
Buy them a really embarrassing card that's properly filthy and send it to their office. Via a Stripagram. Or break into their house and do something sexy with the fruitbowl. That'll get the message across.
What should I buy?
Probably not any Boyfriends are bullsh*t merchandise tbh. Some lads treat their girls to pretty underwear or flowers & chocolates. And slap up meals. Some girls treat their partners to a lil show of their sexy lingerie. A lot of people seem to watch 50 Shades of Grey and then whip the sh*t out of each other. The gift is always personal to ya bae's taste; and shouldn't have to cost the earth or be Instagram worthy.
Although I would take every bit of dating advice you've ever heard off me, or read in this post with a very large pinch of salt [maybe the entire shaker?] there are plenty of fab online dating resources out there to help you find your Mr or Mrs Right; if you fancy spending your next Valentines coupled up watching 50 Shades with a couple of whips and the fruit bowl.
What are your thoughts on Valentine's Day? Will you be celebrating it this year and if so - what are your plans?
