Thoughts On Valentines Day

Here we are once again, the most romantic day of the year, everything is red and Plush. Lovers give each other huge bouquets of roses and giant cards. And then there's me, the cynical loner, just taking it all in. To me, Valentines Day is amusing. Some of the gifts people give each other are ridiculous, and the dependance on material things is baffling.
To me, Love isnt "oh here's some super expensive jewelry, let's go have sex" (yes, I'm stereotyping). If I wanted to show some one I loved them, I'd write a poem, sing them a song, take them to a beautiful place, and just tell them. Love doesn't need expensive things, I mean jewelry is nice, but there's much more truthful ways to get the point across.
A girl told me today that I was her Valentine, in all truth I was horrified. Not at her, she was a very very nice girl, but at the fact that she felt that way, that she looked up to me. I'm a terrible person. So I took her on a walk and explained what had been going on in my life, and I told her that I was just not in the right emotional state for a relationship. Now if I told my friends about this they would have said "what da hell bro!?!? If you're trying to move on than you need to find someone new."
This is true to an extent, It would help. But for one thing, I didn't like her as anything more than a friend, and I would have given her an awful relationship, I'd just be using her to help myself, and no one deserves that.
I truly hope she isn't upset, people tend to lie about their feelings in situations like that.
So overall it was a rather lonely Valentines, but I didn't expect anything more.
Another thing, not washing your hair for a day to make it softer is bull, and really gross. Trust me, especially with hair like mine.
Goodnight, use a condom.
