Worst date:I slipped on ice once.
How do you know he/she is “the one?”Still loves you even when you’re cranky
One word: Valentine’s Day is…Not for the nice guys who finished last.

Describe your perfect date:It really doesn’t matter what we do, as long as we both enjoy it, and most importantly — each other.
Worst date:Something that one of the people is uninterested in or not having fun doing — it can’t be just one-way.
How do you know he/she is “the one?”When you decide there could never be another who will make you feel the same way.
One word: Valentine’s Day is…expensive.
Ashley GullicksonUndeclaredFreshman
Love is…not a feeling to be felt, a lesson to be learned. It is a bond between two people that separates them from the world around them.
Do you believe in love at first sight?No, lust.
Describe your perfect date:A casual dinner where you can laugh and talk as much as you want. Then bowling where you actually compete against one another and poke fun at the one who loses. Followed by a late movie with lots of popcorn, ending totally in love.
Worst date:I had one guy try to come on to me way too much, way too fast.
How do you know he/she is “the one?”Because when he isn’t with me, my world is not complete. I feel safe and complete when he holds me. He is my best friend as well as my boyfriend.
One word: Valentine’s Day is…special
