Friday is Valentine's Day? It's OK. We have your back
Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about love and romance, but sometimes Cupid’s arrow is dipped in anxiety.
Fancy restaurants book up a month ahead of time. The Black Friday vibe at bakeries and chocolatiers sucks the love out of the air. Hotels and getaways take careful planning. And if you’re single, sometimes you just want to be distracted.
So here we are, one day before love’s big day, and maybe you’ve yet to figure things out. Don’t trip. I’ve mastered last-minute plans for Valentine’s Day.
It’s my thing. It started six years ago when everyone else was on dates except me and a friend. After one quick call, we decided on Dave & Buster’s arcade at The Legends. No candy, no flowers. We were careful to make it an anti-date. We even drove separate cars.
I had only one request. He had to help me win a prize. You’re not doing Dave & Buster’s right if you don’t leave with a giant stuffed animal or something.
Skee-Ball, Pop-a-Shot and Jumping Jackpot (seriously, try this game, it’s virtual jump rope and fun to play, even funnier to watch) earned us enough tickets to snag a Care Bear.
