Valentine's day. You either love it or hate it. You're either single or taken. I call it National Singles Day. Now let us take a journey into the Irish Valentine's.
1) Irish people don't think much of Valentine's (2 thirds of irish people would be content with some chips and a pint)
2) We don't see the point in getting typical Valentines cards. ( if you date an irish person, don't get your hopes that they'll give a normal card. Expect something like "I bleedin love ye", "I'm Offaly proud of you (no pun intended)", "Sure don't I ride you and buy you chips?", "I'd love to do the bould thing with you (😉), "Happy awkwardly watching you read this card and hoping you like it (and me)", "State of you, you big ride", "I love your liathroids (😉)", "My love for you keeps Dublin", "You had me at Howya")
3) more than half of us are still single ( we're so exotic that people don't think we're single. HMU lads, I'm single)
4) Our country is our Valentine's ( We were brought up like that, don't blame us)
5) if we do have a special someone, we go a bit overboard (€56 for a gift, the men expect the women to pay for the meal, night away etc)
6) Matchmaking ( Your granny, granddad, mam, dad, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin, etc will try and set you up. Or at least ask "Hows the boy/girlfriend")
7) Pubs ( you'll see: the lonely boy/girl, the gang of girls bitching about lads, etc)
8) But it's not all doom and gloom (Invite your friend over and just have the craic)
9) Being left on read (nobody likes being left on read, so if you see a message, read it)
10) Have the craic (Its all the craic involved anyway)
