Valentines day stories

I had an odd Valentine’s day. A woman who I am not attracted to but has expressed interest in me in the past attempted to extort Valentine’s day goodies from me. I done my best to express no interest & not encourage much contact but she has not learned her lesson. She gave me a card and some candy and told me I had until the end of the day to reciprocate or else there would be consequences. Most people are worrying about getting asked out or working up the nerve to ask someone out and I am getting blackmailed for Valentines day goodies.

A girl I have been interested in whom I have a difficult time connecting with gave me an odd answer to a dinner request. I asked her out to dinner which is a yes or no question which should exlicit a yes or no response. Instead the answer I recieved is thanks for thinking of me. Apparently she is spacier than I thought or not very interested in me (I am guessing the latter).
