I had met a boy less than ONE week earlier... I thought it might go somewhere... we'd met for coffee... we'd kissed a little the night we met (at a fraternity pinning between our houses)... but COMPLETELY unexpectedly... OUT OF THE BLUE... I hear my buzz (the sorority call that you have a guest or phone call) and I call down to see what it was:<br /><br />"There is a gentleman on a bicycle to see you."<br /><br />I went down and he'd brought me a big box with three roses and a stuffed teddy bear. The key though, to it being so fabulous was the SURPRISE. That is what normally bugs me about Valentine's day--it is forced... strained...<br /><br />I reconnected with that boyfriend a while back on Facebook and this year thanked him for that... my single successful Valentine's surprise. he said it was his personal best too--even though he ALSO has always had a partner since then.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.com
