Have you had bad experiences or do you just think the day is sappy?
I was taken out on a date back in ‘07 bay a man in his late 40’s. (I was 31 at the time and desperate to go out on a date). He took me to see ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’. He didn’t pay attention to me and I was bored to death. It’s a kiddie movie,for Pete’s sake!
I had to but my own drink with quarters,nickels and dimes.
What fun!
I used to have no problem with it. A recent separation and divorce changed that. It's now just a reminder of what I had, what I lost, and what I no longer have. It's a day that mocks those who don't have that someone. That's my take.

Maybe he wasn't sure what kind of movie to take you to on a first date and wanted something wholesome. The pickings are slim for those kind of movies these days. But, not paying attention to you, and letting you get bored, is inexcusable. And not even springing for the drink is just wrong. Better luck next time!
