Valentine's Day is over rated. That's coming from someone who's been in a 2.5 year long relationship. I've never cared about it until I got in this relationship. It was really nice in elementary school where I'd get alot of candy. Now I get a couple of hugs and not super romantic kisses you'd expect to see in a movie. Actually in one of the millions of movies that were on tv today. Gosh, I'd hate my life if I were a single girl that really wanted some lovin'. Valentine's Day has become such a commericalized thing. So let me tell you about her Valentine's Day -it's never the guys.
School has been really hard this semester. I have 3 classes that every week assign a 30hr program to code along with Calculus 3's proving Kepler's Laws, and a very tiring P.E. class. So it's been rough. My girlfriend said she was going to go home because it was going to be the last weekend of the year that she'd be able to go home. So she was planning to leave with or without me. So I told her that with this new semester and with her nonchalantly saying she'd leave no matter what for the weekend, that I'd better stick around here at school and catch up on sleep and get some work done. She once again nonchalantly said that was alright and that was that. Valentine's Day would just be celebrated a week later on a Friday afternoon when she had time to do a dinner.
Well, girls rarely mean anything they say. We, guys, should always watch out for when somthing is 'fine' or 'alright' because you know you're being set up. By thursday night it was determined that she'd be leaving while I'd have a meeting at work till 6pm. Well, while on the phone talking to my parents I started to feel bad for her. A girl spending Valentine's Day on her own. I decided that after she left, 4hrs later, I'd go home too and not let her know I was there until 5pm the next day to celebrate Valentine's Day with her.
So I spent the entire day, instead of catching up on much needed sleep and school work, making her hand crafted gifts. I bought roses and made her favorite candy bars look like flowers by sticking them between the roses. I bought her her favorite girl scout cookies and also a bunch of other chocolates. Oh, and told her I had reservations at 8pm to at a restaurant.
Well she had stuff to do that day too, and I knew that surprising her was a bad idea because shes always so busy. I spend a good portion of the day wondering why I date her if it seems like I'm not even dating anyone anymore. Always busy. Today, she had an exam that had taken her 2hrs before to do and a couple of things she was doing for her family. I also knew and tried to fix that'd she originally be stressed enough that she wasn't told to bring a fancy whatever for dinner.
For all the hard work I put into making today special for her, it didn't turn out to special for myself.
What's one to do in these situations? What if this is my life with her? One could easily read this and see a flaw or two. All I ever want to be in life is happy. A simple simple true happy.
There's another girl who makes me happy. I don't even try flirting with her because it's not right, but she does make my day alot. She's really nice and simple and thats hard to come by in this world where everyone is so complicated and hard to understand. It's funny thinking of this now. One may see her and say that this girl is overcomplicating things, but I find her funny and really enjoy her company. I look at where I'm at now and say it is over complicated. And how much I'd like to return to how it was in the beginning when things where simple and clean. Quickly understood and no questions. But converstation seemed like water and we go swimming all the time in it.
