I had been speaking to this guy John for a few months that I met online. We decided that we were going to meet for a drink on the coming Friday. After enjoying a few wines with my colleagues I set off to meet him. Whilst he found a table I headed to the bar, returning with two beers and took a seat. TO MY SURPRISE THE STOOL WASN’T THERE!! I fell back and in the momentum rolled into the table behind knocking their beers all over my face! I jumped to my feet and quickly pulled the stool to the table sat down muttering OMG I am so embarrassed. John pushed the 2 beers in my direction and said lets do this another time and walked out!
Every year my dad sends me a bunch of roses. Last year my boyfriend and my dad had a competition who could get me the best bunch. My dad will always win!
Every year Paul forgets to get me a valentines card, so last year I designed him a joke card on moon pig reading – ‘Worlds worst boyfriend’ to come home to a candle light dinner cooked and some flowers. I couldn’t have felt any worse!

My friend set me up on a double date, with her and her boyfriend. Me and this guy started awkwardly chatting, he had garlic breath which was the first biggest turn off, then all of a sudden his secret girlfriend stormed into the restaurant and hit him round the head with a bunch of flowers and chucked the basket of bread in my face.
Last valentine’s day John took me to see ‘The Lion king’ and asked me to be his girlfriend in the interval, we had a nice romantic KFC afterwards.
Last Valentine ’s Day my parents were away, so I invited my girlfriend over for a meal and I wanted to pull out all the stops. I sent my little sister to stay round her friend’s house so that we had the house to ourselves. About eight o’clock the dinner was ready and I heard my girlfriend scream from the dining room. My little sister’s hamster had escaped! My girlfriend and I spent 2 hours trying to find and catch it! The night was ruined.
