Stealing Sunday Valentine's Edition

Stealing Sunday (on Saturday!) Valentine's Cupid Edition

1.) Do you like Valentine's Day?-- it is another day and it is cute.

2.) Are you going to celebrate it?--i do not know. i am sure the students/work will have something cute going on that day. i will probably wish a few folks a good Valentine's Day.

3.) Celebrate Valentine's Day with Friends or someone Special?--again, do not know this year. if i could pick, it would be with someone special. 

  

4.) Pink or red?--PINK :)

5.)Candy Hearts OR cards?--cards, i love cards. any kind, any occasion. e-cards are good too!

6.) A short kiss or a big hug?--can i have both? a short kiss would be best. but what is considered short?  

 

7.)What are your plans for V-day?--work and again, who knows what the college has planned for an activity that day.

 

8.) What would be the best gift to receive?--a visit and/or something i can use/need.

9.) Would get back with any of your ex's for V-day?--NO!!!

  

10.) Is there a food or beverage you associate with V-day?--food=chocolates, cakes, sweets in general. beverages=wine, sparking wine, juice, strawberry milk 

11.) What are your thoughts on "Love at first sight"?--i believe it can happen.

 

12.) Do you think people who have dated can stay friends?--no, not at first. i think it take a LONG time to go back to even being friends when you can talk to each other again. once the line of intimacy has been crossed, it is just hard to go back to "just friends"

  

13.) If you could go back in time and give yourself one piece of advice about dating or relationships what would it be?--NEVER ASSUME anything about your partner (unless you have CONCRETE FACTS/EVIDENCE). ask them first and just trust them. if something is meant for you to know, you will eventually find out.
