The article highlights the unenthusiastic sentiment surrounding Valentine's Day by sharing some of the worst stories submitted by the BuzzFeed Community. Many individuals view it as a commercialized holiday or have experienced awkward moments, especially during romantic encounters. From a disappointing tennis date instead of a romantic outing to the realization that secret admirer notes were from parents, these anecdotes reveal the humorous and frustrating side of Valentine's Day experiences. Some reflect on the disconnect between expectations and reality that many encounter on this day.
When I was a sophomore in college, I met a guy named 'Chris' at a party. He was tall, handsome, funny, and the president of his fraternity. Chris and I exchanged numbers and after a few days of back and forth, we agreed on a Valentine's Day date. He promised a very fun, romantic day. I expressed how excited I was for our day together because I had recently been dumped by my ex of two years. I was dressed to the nines with immaculate 2017-era makeup, which meant I spent hours getting ready. When Chris picked me up, he looked at me with a confused expression and asked why I was so dolled up. He then stated he had plans for us to play tennis together. TENNIS. I begrudgingly changed clothes and we embarked to the tennis court, which was located in a gated community. I had never played before, and to no one's surprise I was not good at tennis.
I realized that the Valentine's Day cards I had been receiving from my secret admirer for years were from my parents.
He gave me a card with a condom inside that said he wanted to taste my sweat and feel my moans. I was 16. We met in our school's purity club. I found out he was in the club to look good on his college resume.
