See what locals had to share about some memorable Valentine’s dates.
“I’m currently dating this guy, we’ve been dating for 5 years, actually today. On our first Valentine’s date, well, I had never eaten sushi before and he loves sushi. I thought … I’ll try sushi because I wanted to impress him and this is his thing. So we go to the sushi place, he orders a roll, and I thought, ‘I’ll just do it, I’ll put it I’m my mouth.’ I take a bite of it and I had this look of horror on my face because it was so disgusting and I just spit it out in a napkin and put in on the table and the rest of the date we were staring at each other like, OK, there’s an uneaten piece of sushi sitting there, in a napkin … but we’re still dating to this day!”
“When I was in grad school in Cleveland, Ohio, I was asked out by a guy whose family owned a funeral home. He took me over there and had me help him get a body ready for a funeral before we went out!”
“The funniest Valentine’s date for us was last night, because my wife and I, we went to gay clubs and yes, we made a lot of friends! Wonderful friends! Last night was the best, it was funny, we had lots of fun.”
“After 13 years of being together with my husband, I don’t think I’ve been on a Valentine’s date. I’m here on Valentine’s Day helping sell Girl Scout cookies with my daughter!”
