Valentines Saved.

Just to Start out. I want to give everyone an idea of what I think Valentines is for. Valentines is for showing love to those around you. Friends, family and your significant other. Valentines is NOT as the Media put's it a time to get enguaged and buy expensive jewlery and spend way too much money on a girl because you messed up the rest of the year anyway.
So my Reason for saying Valentines is saved is a personal one. Last year I was dating someone and had the most horrible Valentines ever. We ended up not even talking at dinner and by the end of the night I was a jerk and I had ruined Valentines. Why you say? Because I didn't buy an expensive ring and make it a night to remember forever.
Well a year has passed. I have a new and much better woman in every respect. I still didn't buy the expensive ring. But I had a great conversation over a wonderful meal. That is all I wanted this Valentines. Even though both our parents have expressed the desire for me to pop the question. But I had to make it threw this Valentines. I had to see if it was the ring or if it was me that mattered most. By the end of the night I felt more loved and appriciated for who I am rather than what I stand for in someones mind.
Valentines was saved for me this year.
