“Someone gave me a gift in secondary school out of pity, either because no one gave me anything or every girl had a val except me. He was so kind to give me a piece of jewelry and tell me why he gave it to me. It was so sad.”

“He stays in Abuja. He told me not to come over, he had a business trip. All the while I didn’t know I was the side chick. There was a legit babe. The next day (15th) was my birthday. It was later I discovered that even the birthday gift he gave me was the valentine gift the so-called girlfriend got for him.”

People say he should have sent the money but the moment gives me chills every time I remember. There will always be a better alert than your most shocking one.”
Francess (F)

“When I was a child like 7 or 8 years old, my dad lived in another state and he used to come only once in a month. So on Valentine’s day that year, it wasn’t his week to come.
Only for us to hear the bell ring after 2pm and I opened the door and saw my daddy dressed in all white native with a red rose.
He wasn’t shocked that I opened the door, the surprise was meant for my mom but all of us felt the love.
Best Valentine’s memory for me.”

What’s the worst thing that happened to you on valentine’s day?

“I was dumped the day before Valentine’s day. On Friday the 13th. Full moon. First love.
Laugh, for I was injured and have never recovered.”
“This happened back in elementary school. I handed out valentine’s day cards to all of the girls in my class, to be nice. They all ended up handing them back to me because they thought it was weird. This one girl took it seriously and kept asking me if I actually liked her.”
“That Valentine, I had gotten her a huge cake, a bag, a watch, chocolate, and vintage red wine. In return, I got perfume that smelled like eggs and methylated spirit.”
“This happened to me once, from the other side. We were sitting at her favorite restaurant for our first anniversary, and she turns to me in the middle of dinner and says something like, “Well, we gave it a good shot, didn’t we?” “Huh?” “I mean, hasn’t it been long enough? Isn’t this over yet?” “Whu?” “A year is a long time, we made it a year, that’s good enough, isn’t it?” “You mean…” “I think we should break up now.”
I did not finish my entree.”
“My brother died. Spent the entire day crying and making funeral arrangements.”
“Probably the time that my GF stopped by a ‘friend’s’ house after dinner for ‘fifteen minutes’ to ‘say hi’ and ended up spending the night there. Just friends. Yeah. Right.”
“On valentine’s, I realized that the Valentine cards I had been receiving from my secret admirer for years were in fact from my parents.”
“He proposed, she said no. He cried and tried to change her mind for 20 minutes while she sat there stony-faced. She finally got up and walked out. He paid and left in tears.”
“I used to be a waiter in a 5-star restaurant. It was my first week. One guy was about to propose, it was obvious by how much he was sweating he was drenched. I tried to make them both relax. They went on to finish up their meal. As soon as the cake arrived he then went on one knee, she stood up suddenly, he vomited right on her high heels. After the shock of what just happened, she still ended up saying yes.”
“I was with a girl who was absolutely in love with me, talking about marriage, pets, kids, etc. On our 3rd Vday, at dinner, I looked at her and it hit me: I realized I had lost any feelings I had for her. Nice girl, cute, treated me great, would’ve made a fantastic wife…I just lost those feelings. Sucks to know it’s not your fault the way you feel, but to realize this poor soul is going to be crushed. It’s been 5 years and I still feel like shit for that.”
“A guy did a backflip and asked a girl to be his valentine… she declined. I walked up to him and asked if he was fine, he said it took him a week to perfect.”
“The most awkward:
In my first job as a waitress, a guy wanted to propose to his girlfriend. He came in 2 months before to book and had everything figured out. He planned to pop the question during dessert. We had champagne, balloons and sparklers prepped for the big moment. The time comes, he drops to one knee and gives a speech about his love for her. He asks, she says no, puts the ring in her bag, finishes her dessert, and leaves. Quite possibly the most awkward thing I have had to witness (alongside around 200 other people.) The manager gave him everything for free; he felt that bad for him. Cringed inside every time I saw him after that.”
The most f—ked up:
I was working as a duty manager and one of the tills kept dropping off the network. As I was trying to fix it I could hear the conversation at the table by the waiter’s station. It started sweet enough with her excitedly telling him she was pregnant. He went quiet and didn’t say anything for a bit and then asked her what the plan was. She said she was keeping the baby. He said he didn’t want kids and had told her this. She got upset and said she thought he’d be happy and change his mind when he found out. (By this point I’ve fixed the till, but am unable to step away from this car crash.)
Turns out she stopped taking the pill without telling him thinking she could turn him around. He said he knew she could be a little nut sometimes but this was next level. He told her it was over and she could send someone to collect her things as he wanted nothing more to do with her. He called me over to pay the bill and just left. The guy never even shouted, he just calmly went f—k this and noped out of there. I couldn’t even look her in the eye, just left her to leave in her own time.”
