Be My Valentine...

Any great Valentine Day stories? I'll start: The year was 1995. The boys name was Ace. I worked at a gas station and Ace came in all of the time. I don't know how it happened (probably because I'm so amazing) but Ace formed some sort of weird crush on me. I didn't know him very well but he started coming into the station everytime I worked. He would always chat for awhile and then leave. One night I was at home when I heard a knock at the front door. I opened the door and there was a teddy bear with a necklace around the neck and a card from Ace asking me to be his Valentine. Unfortunately, this was not the man of my dreams and I was a little disappointed. Later that night I got a phone call from Ace. We talked for a few minutes and he asked what I was doing ("nothing") and then I asked what he was doing - what was his response you ask? - "sitting around with my friends watching porn". Me - long pause - "great, well I've got to go. Talk to you later".


I'm sure you're all wondering where he got my address and phone number? The answer is simple - my dad. He worked part time on the weekends at the same gas station and he gave my # to any guy that asked for it. Thanks Dad!


P.S. After that incident Ace asked me out on a date and I went. I was always too nice to say no...

Wow, creepy. I can't believe you went out with him!

My dad gave my number to some random crazy guy once too. My mom was like, "What are you thinking?!"

Sorry, no great V-Day stories. I enjoyed yours though!

Well, as for me, I have no great Valentine story to tell, either. If I did, I don't remember...I am in my forties! Great story,though!

I think our YW leaders actually did damage to us by telling us never to say no to a first date. Their response was, "What's the harm?" The harm? Are you kidding me?
