She is still my Valentine, but since she is not interested in me "in that way", it will be a friendly or possibly even a humorous one. Nothing mushy, no hugs and kisses or true love forever stuff. That would turn her off.

It will be interesting to see if she gets me a card. Actually, I give it a 50/50 shot that she will... if only because she figures I'll get her one.

Crisis: 5 years.
