Considering I'm all alone this Valentine's Day, I can get away with buying a new fuel injection system for the Stingray instead a diamond this year. I hope this good luck never ends.

I think there is nothing better than actually going on your dream destination. So many promos like this around to make it a reality http://www.srilankan.com/static/html/valentine-2012.html

These pictures might be applicable if you live in Florida or southern California, but February isn't the best time of year for tandem biking, rowing a boat, or golfing where I live.

So men wear capri pants now? The photo on page one shows the guy wearing capri pants.

They forgot one: You and your date gather all the mobsters, line them up, and open fire. Not only would that be a fun date which you and your date would be talking about for years to come (albeit from separate cells) but also you'd be doing a public service.

Please, HuffPo...a new stock photo for sex that isn't the same tired shot of feet?

Someone needs to remind the author that V-day is in winter.

I'm going with #5 + #7 = a great time. Why choose one, I'm not!

Stretching before you exercise makes your muscles tighten, reduces flexibility, and increases the possibility that you'll injure yourself. Do warm up exercises instead of traditional static stretching.

So pushing your bike instead of riding it makes for an active date? Maybe the couple in the photo are pushing their bikes to the repair shop, meaning either, 1. their bikes broke down and ruined the date or, 2. the date Was taking their bikes to the repair shop, which would be a really stupid date.

your grumpy attitude ruined the date

Dood is no date.

The slides are very hetero-normative. I'm straight, but I know that my many beloved gay friends who are partnered also might be inclined to want to see themselves in a portrayal of romantic Valentine's Day possibilities. It's not much of a stretch to think that any gay person might want to be included in notions of what's romantic on Valentine's Day. Assuming this is a person who wants to buy into that kind of thing, which may not always be the case.

Point being: this is the year 2012. Let's have interracial couples, gay folks, and even maybe a disabled person or two in the Valentine's Day flog, shall we?
