What are you expecting for Valentine's Day?

ANGELA, ATLANTA
He won't get me anything. Never does. He already told me he's not getting me anything for Valentine's Day. I got him something for Christmas, and he got really mad and felt obligated so he got me an earplug. On my birthday he got me a piece of paper and wrote Happy Birthday on it. I'm romantic. I want to show him I love him on these special occasions. But I still know he worships the ground I walk on.

Nothing. I'm not dating anybody. Last year I cooked dinner for six, three couples. This year the dinner thing is off. I've broken up. It's over. They shouldn't have gotten the dinner last year. The dinner was good, but the company wasn't worthy of it. The cupids aren't talking to each other this year. But I'll have memories of it, and I can always repeat the dinner. It's a chapter closed.

My honey will be completely naked. But first she'll be wrapped around in a bubble wrap. And then there will be this big red ribbon on her and I'll just pull on the ribbon until she twirls right into my arms completely naked — all this to the background music of Yanni. Then the festivities will commence, and I'll have a happy Valentine's Day.
