Here it is, the one day a year reserved for people who love love. This day is also the bane of existence to people who are not in love. While people in relationships usually tend to expect something special, whether it be a couples' massage or pizza and a movie, some people get more (or less) than they bargained for. One girl, who requested to remain anonymous, definitely got less than she bargained for on one unforgettable Valentine's Day.
"I started dating this guy on Valentine's Day, and the following year, I was excited for Valentine's Day and our one year anniversary," she explains. Their first year of romance was one typical of young love, full of surprise flowers, romantic dinner/movie dates and phone calls that stretched into the early hours of the morning. "For Valentine's Day, he told me he had a big surprise planned." As she and her best friends racked their brains trying to figure out what surprise he had planned, nothing could have prepared her for her one-of-a-kind Valentine's Day.
Her boyfriend worked during the day on Valentine's Day, and she planned to surprise him with a new hoodie and a boxed DVD set of Indiana Jones, his favorite movie series. When he got off of work, he sent her a text-message to check her Facebook. Excited and curious, she logged on to her Facebook to find some notifications. "He wrote on my wall that it was over, and I got a notification that he had ended the relationship with me, but when I checked his page, it said that he was in a relationship with someone else!"
Naturally, this anonymous girl was surprised, but this is hardly what she was hoping for for this doubly special day in their relationship. She began to question her actions, wondering what it was that she did to cause this guy to hurt her in such a public manner. "I began to wonder if this was just some horrible, disgusting joke, but when I called him, he told me that I should have taken the hint that he moved on, and left him alone. "
When she asked his friends for information, one of them finally broke down and told her that after nearly a year, he couldn't figure out what to get her for this special day, and that if he couldn't come up with something good enough for her, he clearly didn't deserve her. Although it seems that he was being considerate, in a round-about and twisted way, she claims, like many other women, that she would have been satisfied with some quality time watching movies and swapping back-massages.
It seems that all too often, people crack under the pressure to perform on such an important day for relationships, and they assume that they won't live up to expectations even if no expectations are set.
