Valentine’s Day?
I was talking to my friend a few moments ago and she was really upset about the current state of this “relationship” that she has involved herself in.
Now, she had been dating this guy for the past three months and they’ve just made everything official a few weeks back. She said everything was fine–she did things for him, he did things for her, vice versa. Now recently, if I’m remembering correctly, she loaned this guy $500 for whatever reason because he claimed he really needed it. In my opinion, that’s an awful lot of money to loan to someone but she said she won’t ever loan what she’ll miss. I definitely dig that concept, but I digress.
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and the guy didn’t call, text, or get her a gift and she’s all distraught about it. In a way, I didn’t think getting a gift on Valentine’s Day was a big deal. I’d rather a guy do something for me on a day OTHER THAN Valentine’s Day because to me, I think it’s a bit cliche and ridiculous to wait for a day to show someone that you really love them. Anyways, I told her it wasn’t a big deal but I can understand how she could be a little hurt because the guy didn’t call.
How would you feel?

I think that he could have at least called her to wish her a Happy Valentine’s Day, especially after she lent his stupid self some money! That’s the least that he could do to show his appreciation. Personally, I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t think that people should wait until a certain day of the year to show they love someone either. When you’re in love and in a healthy relationship, everyday is Valentine’s Day.

Honestly if this happened I’d be upset. Its not the gift giving part. He could have called her and said happy V-day. Maybe its not a big day for him but he could have considered what it could mean to her.

i`d be a little miffed. :reallypissed: it’s not even the day, its the principle of the thing. they’re official, and she lent him 500 dollars. that is really a lot of money to lend. he really could have at least called or texted or something. but i wouldn’t only want special attention on Valentine’s Day… i don’t even think its a real holiday. but it just seems like- its a couples day & if you’re a couple, you should recognize it.

I’d be pissed .. that’s wrong. Ok forget the gift obviously h e ain’t have no money if he borrowed money off of her but not even a phone call? That’s just wrong!
Thanks for your caring comments, so sweet :)

I would have at least expected a call on Valentine’s Day. The gift? Not a big deal, especially knowing it was probably bought with my money…

I would’ve never loaned that much money to anyone. Especially just a guy I’m dating. I’ve had too many people play me when I did that so I can’t be that trusting.
I don’t celebrate Valentines Day for that very reason as well as a few others. So I agree with you on that point, but I don’t think he was right at all. I mean not even a phone call. I wonder if he’s going to avoid her just to keep from paying her back, now that he did her like that. It’s amazing how quickly people change up when money is involved.

Yeah I think that I would be sad about him not calling me or getting me anything on Valentine’s Day too. I mean I don’t know, $500 is a lot to lend to someone so I am guessing she was expecting something back for it, I would. I mean not even a call is kind of harsh but then I do agree with you when you say that you should show people that you love them everyday, not just on some fancy holiday.
I think that people get so wrapped up in doing big things on holidays, that they forget about every other day that’s not a holiday and that they are with that special someone. You should always let someone know how much you mean to them, regardless of the occasions; it should be everyday :-)

Awwww man, what a turd. That is some BS. I hope this guy wakes up and smells the coffee, and decides to pay her back!

The least he could of done was call to wish her a happy Valentines day. I never loan anyone that much money….wish her luck on this relationship.

I’m not a fan of Valentine’s Day either but I still may call my friend’s if they celebrate it. I like the way you put that: Every day is Valentine’s Day. I totally agree!

I wouldn’t have ever loaned that much money either but apparently she felt like she could trust him and that he would pay her back. I wouldn’t loan that much for the simple fact that you have stated: they would probably try to avoid me because they can’t pay it back.

You are hilarious and when she was telling me this, I said some of the same things that you just said! LOL. I’m also praying that he didn’t take advantage of her and has plans on paying her back. She is a really good person but sometimes, she loves and adores too easily.

he could have at least called or something, but I agree with you girl…why does it has to be Valentines day for someone to receive a gift. A lot of times I think Valentines day is overrated. I’m not gonna lie, I like receiving gifts but it’s way over rated. there shouldn’t be a specific day to show or tell someone how much you love them. As far as the $500 dollars goes. I would have never done it.

Shit, my ass use to be a push over back in high school and treat my close friends to the finest b-day pressies only to find to find out their popular asses were not true friends and so not worth it but am now reconnecting with one of them via Facebook and come to find out in a sense it was true but at the same time one of them was like I take the blows and she admired me and respected me for the fact that I was able to take the blows and at the same time still remain civilized and friendly even towards those who were clearly bitches and was not true friends to me. Sometimes being a push over can be a blessing in disguise other times is not. I do hope she gets her money back…take care hun!
