Hi, it has been a while since my breakup and I have started dating a bit in the past month. The thing is I don't know how to handle Valantine Day. The most I have dated any woman is 3 times. So, what does that mean? Not much, at the present. There is still a lot to learn about each other.

I am afraid that any dating on or near V-day will be interpretted as more than just a date. So, I am doing nothing this weekend at all except hanging out with friends. I don't want to be misunderstood.

I guess I am just a big chicken!!!!

Its a rather silly Holiday, look into its origins. But I understand what you are saying.

I read your other thread a bit, and it seems that you are the type to read to much into things, hence afraid they will too. Thats not chicken, in my book its wise.

Valentines is over, so I just wanted to answer your post, seeing how it is still in the unanswered posts column.

I hope your V-day was fun, whatever you did. Just don't be afraid to be yourself, and let any woman you are with know who you are.

You have nothing to prove.

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

Which event are you referring to??

Eli Whitney receiving patent for the cotton gin? (1794)
The birth of Billy Crystal? (1948)
Or the death of George Eastman? (1932)

Or perhaps you were just thinking of White Day? That's the holiday in Japan when men give gifts to women.

Which is it? flirt

March 14 = St. Patrick's Day
March 15 = The Ides of March (the day Julius Caesar was assassinated, 44 B.C.)
