You know, I kind of secretly (or not so secretly) dislike Valentine’s Day. I mean when you’re a dating or are in a relatively new relationship, things are a bit different. Truthfully, I hate to be one of those people, but when you have a great relationship with your partner (which sometimes takes some work) every day is like Valentine’s Day.
