A Hallmark card: 99 cents, one dozen red roses: $69.99 and box of heart shaped chocolates: $39.99.

On this glorified day of expense is there a certain brand of chocolates or size bouquet that reflects how true his feelings are? Are women too prone to the myth that cupid shot their Bow in the ass? When the 14th rolls around are their certain signs that signal, it’s more than ‘sex deep’?

Since we don’t live in ACME we know unfortunately that there are no hearts to fly around the head of “the one” when he or she comes along (like we all thought when we watched Cartoon Network at 3:30 and not TRL), but there are some subtle indications to hint you won’t be burning your red $32 Victoria Secret thong get up by St. Patrick’s Day.

The willingness of someone go through the typical expenses on Valentine’s Day is not an indication of Love or care, but simply them living up to the tradition and expectations of a Capitalist’s holiday. Too cynical? Too bad, because what we sometimes don’t realize is that it is much easier for a guy to buy something than it is to express how he truly feels, verbally and physically. Decreasing his testosterone levels to write something in the 99-cent card and not just sign his name under Hallmark’s words is a BIG deal.

Yes, there is a silent wish for the 12 long stemmed red roses so we can hold them proudly as girls give jealous stares and boys wonder if it was a lover’s generosity or parental care, but because he came out of his pocket does not mean cupid shot him in ASS! Maybe how he tells you “hi” will do it for you or how he stokes your hair, just don’t sell yourself short; make sure you get butterflies when you kiss and not just a wet crotch seat.

Love is a gamble. It can be emotionally as well as financially costly. Just be sure you have someone that makes the risk worth taking.
