6 Different Personalities You’ll Meet on Valentine’s Day

By Oluwadara Adaja

 

If you’ve been under the rock lately, let me be the one to remind you that February 14 is almost here. I can feel the hisses and eyeballs rolling already BUT, before you click away (don’t you dare). Let’s find out which one of these people you are on the day of love. Let’s get to it!

1. THE PREDATOR

These are the ‘badoos’ . They have achieved legendary status such that you must have heard their gist before. To them, February 14 is strictly collection day. For the ladies, they want it all – designer clothes, bags, shoes and please get the plane tickets ready for that Dubai trip. For the guys, only one thing is needed – you know what it is *T.I voice*.

2. THE VAL’S DAY SWEETHEART

Baby girl loves everything cliché about vals day. From the fake red flowers to the heart shaped chocolates and the fluffy white teddy bears with the red “I love you” cushions in the middle. She wants it all, and bae better keep them coming. She’s most likely the “mushiest”, hopeless romantic you’ve ever met.

3. THE ‘TOO-COOL-FOR-SCHOOL’ SET

“I’m not going out. I hate fake flowers, and for the love of the Father, please don’t come near me with those cheap chocolates.”

These are the words of the girl who would rather go out with her man on the 13^th just to prove to us how much she doesn’t care about 14^th – Vals day. Guys also fall into this category though. They’ll prefer to send you flowers “Just because it’sTuesday” but will bail on Vals day obligations.

4. THE CYNIC

Our friend has had one too many heartbreaks and is tired of expecting so much from the boo and getting her expectations crushed. At this point, she’s given up and is on the “no f*cks given” area of the “Care Meter”.

5. AUNTY LINDA

Yeaahhh… little Miss I-have-an-opinion about everything (*winks). She’s most likely single and has something to say about how everyone should be celebrating lover’s day. She points fingers and cringes at her friend’s gifts and lack thereof. She needs to get a life.

6. THE VETERANS

These are the couples that are tired of vals day but would just celebrate it for the sake of it. The man knows he has to order cake and flowers ahead of time, just to keep the peace. The girl knows she has to wear red to work and be all dolled up. The gifts are usually the same as last year, but they may have a little variety.

 

So tell us, which of these guys are you?
