Last Minute Valentine??
Okay, I took the advice of one of our esteemed male readers, John. He said I should text my latest hottie. So I did. I basically said Hi & good call about Obama, since he predicted that Obama would have the most delegates after Wash DC, Virginia, etc.
He texted back right away, asking me a work question…we went back and forth, flirting for a while. (He said I have a 100 watt smile - does that sound like a line?)
He just texted me again, asking if I have plans for tomorrow nght (Valentine’s Day). And asking if I’d be around to receive a package at work tomorrow…
I’d love to see him, and I’m not into playing games but if I say I have no plans at all (the truth), like not even going out wth my girlfriends, does it make me seem like a total loser?
And what about the fact that I wanted to take a break from dating for a while? Do I stick to my guns, or give it up for such a nice, cute guy…?
The point of taking the break was to regain sanity and get re-centered…but the point of that is to be in a sane, mutually empowering happy relationship…with a nice, cute guy…

I definitely don’t think it will make you look like a loser to not have plans lined up for Valentine’s Day. I think it would be foolish to turn down a date with a great guy just because you don’t want to seem available on what is basically just a Hallmark holiday.
Also, don’t let your self-imposed break get in the way of something that could be a good thing. You didn’t go looking for it - this happened to you. So I say go with it. (And keep us posted!)

they say once you start looking it happens. maybe because you said you were taking a break, this is happening. i think you should definitely go. i hope you told him yes!

If you are not into playing games, then none of it really matters, does it? Do what you feel is right for you and forget that its Valentines Day. Just think its any old day…. would you say yes to diner?
Also, since when did we all become so obsessed with being a “Loser” that we have lost touch with our gut instincts.

I would be honest - it’s good not to play games. I wouldn’t hold myself back from dating, you never know what could happen with the next person you meet . . .
