Please stop being a Valentine’s Day hater.

This post is for all the Valentine’s Day haters. First let me make my confession: I love Valentine’s Day. I do. And I have never, in 28 years, had a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day.  And, honestly, counting the number of guys I’ve dated, it’s kind of a small miracle. But there are a lot of […]
