7 Reasons Valentine’s Day is the Most Disappointing Holiday (with GIFS)
Spoiler alert: This isn't the year that Ryan Gosling professes his love for you.
Ever since I was kid, I always built up Valentine's Day to be this magical holiday where anything could happen. It starts in kindergarten, when you put out your little shoebox, decorated in pink paper and red doily hearts, and hope that the love of your life drops an extra Scooby Doo Valentine card in it so you know that they feel the same way. Fast forward to high school, and you're convinced that this is the year your crush will bust into history class with a balloon bouquet and a choir behind him, declaring his love for you. Sadly, these things don't usually happen outside of Glee, leaving most of us disappointed every February 14th. Below we've listed our Vday expecations vs what really happens. Check it out and let us know if you agree!
EXPECTATION:
YOUR CRUSH WILL FINALLY PROFESS THEIR LOVE FOR YOU
REALITY:
THEY PROFESS THEIR LOVE...TO SOMEONE ELSE
EXPECTATION:
YOUR BF IS FINALLY GOING TO POP THE QUESTION!
REALITY:
HE GIVES YOU ANOTHER TEDDY BEAR INSTEAD
EXPECTATION:
YOUR VALENTINE WILL COOK YOU A ROMANTIC DINNER
REALITY:
HELLO APPLEBEES. (AND AWKWARD SMACKING)
EXPECTATION:
YOU WILL LOOK *FLAWLESS* FOR YOUR BIG DATE
REALITY:
DIFFERENT DAY, SAME FRIZZ
EXPECTATION:
YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER WILL EXPRESS THEIR TRUE FEELINGS VIA LOVE LETTER OR POEM
REALITY:
YOU GET A CARD WITH SOME SORT OF ANIMAL ON THE FRONT AND THE WORDS "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY" INSIDE.
EXPECTATION:
YOUR DATE WILL END WITH A NICHOLAS SPARKS STYLE KISS
REALITY:
"WELL, SEE YA"
EXPECTATION:
YOU AND YOUR SINGLE FRIENDS WILL ENJOY A GIRLS NIGHT TO BOYCOTT VALENTINES DAY
REALITY:
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT A DATE
If your Vday ends in disappointment, remember, at least there's always leftover candy.
