Romantic or Creepy: A Prelude to Valentine's Day

by Jenny McCoy on February 11, 2010

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and many of you may be wondering what to get that special (or kinda special) someone(s).

That said, I’d like to share a recent convo with a friend that may help you decide which aisle to peruse at Target on Sunday morning.

Friend received a text message from an ex asking for Friend’s address with a flirty overtone.

“Shit,”
said Friend. “I have a bad feeling about this.”

I provided faux comfort.

“It’s probably nothing,”
I said.

Two days later, I received a text from Friend.

“$&@! There are flowers at my door.”


“Bahahaha,”
I consoled. “What’s so bad about flowers?”

It was then relayed that the ex had used a Facebook quiz to figure out Friend’s flower of choice.

“Ehh. Umm. ‘A’ for effort I guess?”

And then Friend summarized the situation in pure brilliance.

“The difference between romantic and creepy is mutual interest.”

And with that, I send you on your way toward D-Day or V-Day. It’s your choice.
