Sounds romantic, but let's get real here, ladies: V-Day can be anything but victorious. And who do we have to thank for that? M-E-N. Okay, besides the three guys on earth who come up with creative dinner ideas and adorable trips in advance (and honey, if you have one, hold on like a glove to a ski tow), most of the male species disappoints.From terrible gifts to a sudden case of amnesia (wait, wasn't today, uh, Lincoln's birthday or something?), many of us are left hanging ... even those of us who think Valentine's is the cheesiest day of the year. Read on for more cringeworthy moves. 1. Saying he doesn't believe in hokey commercial holidays two seconds after you've given him a cute card. 2. Telling you, "God, we're never going to be able to get a dinner reservation tonight because it's stupid Valentine's Day."  3. Giving you wilted supermarket flowers. 4. Confiding to you at a Valentine's singles party that the only thing he finds appetizing are the free red martinis. 5. E-mailing you the morning of the 14th to say, "Hey, so what are you up to tonight?" He's not asking you out, just wondering if you'll be out with someone else. 6. Taking you to a fast-food drive-through, then renting Basic Instinct and inviting you back to his dorm room/shady apartment to watch it with his roommate. 7. Handing you a rose cast in gold because "This flower won't die. Just like my feelings for you will never die, baby."8. Making you a lame heart-shaped card cut from notebook paper with "IOU one gift" written on it.  9. Insisting on treating you to a lavish dinner and ordering tons of appetizers, the priciest entrée, and two bottles of wine (most of which he drinks). Then when the bill comes, Loverboy asks if you can throw in, say, 80 bucks or so. 10. Setting tentative plans but not telling you exactly what time he's picking you up or where you're going. Then — surprise! — at 9:45, he tells you he's stuck at work, then says, "You're not mad, are you?"11. Then telling you before he hangs up, "Look, I really wanna make it up to you," but not bothering to nail down a date. 12. Dumping you the day before because he didn't want to torment you by going through the motions. (At least you could've gotten one last fancy meal out of the deal.) 13. Buying you chocolates the day after V-Day because the prices were slashed.  14. Giving you ghastly mall-rat jewelry that you saw on his sister the week before. 15. Doing the deed with you, then crying afterward because his ex-girlfriend Mandy broke up with him last Valentine's Day. 16. Waiting until February 13th to make plans with you because, hey, you're his girlfriend and he knows he's getting some action.  17. Taking you anywhere that serves two-for-one meals. 18. Sending you carnations with baby's breath and plastic freestanding heart ornaments that are so ugly, you have to do an Edward Scissorhands on them before you can put them on your desk at work. 19. Wearing a Cupid costume. 20. Inviting you out for an evening with him ... and his mother. </blockquote>
