It’s February 14 and you’re alone (again). Fret not, because there is still time to find a date
Today, those of us who have significant others are obligated to spend time with them. Logic says that the rest of us go straight home after work and spend the night enjoying the most romantic porn we can find. Right? Untrue! People across the country actually watch less porn on Valentine’s Day.
We asked you to share your online dating horror stories
Valentine’s Day —or as it’s called in more cynical circles, "Singles Awareness Day"—is finally upon us. As is tradition, anyone finding themselves single and alone tonight will probably be inclined to spend the evening wallowing in self pity. But it doesn’t have to be this way! There’s an entire world of products out there designed for the express purpose of helping you lie to yourself about being alone.
On the worst OKCupid date I ever went on, the guy was 30 pounds heavier than his pics, ate wings like a slob, licked his fingers, and talked about his upset stomach the whole time. It was the worst date in history. We want to hear your online dating war stories, too.
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to make a restaurant-caliber meal at home—especially if you just realized it’s on Friday and there are no good dinner reservations left. Modernist cooking enlists techniques that require less active time cooking, while still producing rich flavors—just the sort of thing needed to create a memorable dinner that you can actually enjoy making.
Valentines day is upon us. It is time to once again prove your love by buying sweets and flowers. Why not put those sweets directly into a cake and make your valentine fall into a sugar induced coma?
This cake is shaped like a candy heart and it has actual candy hearts inside. I can’t imagine a more heartfelt Valentine’s gift. It was made by Beth Jackson Klosterboer and is basically a cake piñata, but don’t whack it with a stick.
Just cut a slice and your candy hearts will all spill out. This is some serious sugar here though. I’m getting a sugar-high just looking at it.

Don't Buy Jewelry on Amazon
Posted in: Today's ChiliBecause Valentine’s Day is this weekend, Amazon is heavily promoting jewelry bargains. Makes sense! But are these discounts really a deal? Not exactly.
This year, give your Valentine something special. Like some Valentines Day Costume Tribbles. Don’t feed them, or you will be overrun with the furry little critters. And if your Valentine is a Klingon, find another gift. Tribbles don’t like Klingons one bit.
This pink, purring Tribble responds to your touch and sound. This cute guy is just $24.99(USD) from ThinkGeek, and is a geeky and romantic gift for any Star Trek fan. Make sure that you get rid of any quadrotriticale you may have first.
Klingon love isn’t just about fighting each other with bat’leths and breaking bones in the bedroom. It has a sweet side too. Although it is mostly violence and growling.
Some of them actually exchange Valentine’s Day cards though. Like these, that NeatoShop artist Matt Wiley has created. These Valentine’s Day Cards feature Klingon-worthy phrases of love, like “Love is a battlefield / And we will love victoriously,” “You stole my heart / I would have given you mine. I have two,” and “The empire doesn’t seem as mighty without you / Will you fight by my side?”
With these cards you can be sure that you and your mate will love for a lifetime and enter Sto-Vo-Kor together in death. Qapla’!
