I was stupid enough to believe that I was going to get a wedding proposal on Valentine's Day, but received absolutely nothing on that day. No phone call or text message or anything — talk about disappointed!

I bought my wife a big box of assorted Valentine's Day chocolates. She was very happy. But when she opened the box, there were worms in the chocolate candy - YUKE.

So dinner is over and he says, "I got you something" and reaches to open the trunk. I closed my eyes and when I opened them, to my surprise I found myself holding a Bobblehead doll. A ceramic white bear holding a red heart that said... Be Mine. No good night smooch for him!

My worst Valentine's Day experience was in 2001. My date showed up at my door with half dead roses, which he took from his mom. Then he takes me to McDonald's for dinner. After that, we went bowling. it was by far the worst Valentine's Day EVER.

My husband is the worst Valentine's gift giver. One year to my surprise, I found a red spider in the covers. I hate spiders. The one he put in our bed was plastic but I didn't know that, all I felt was something soft and about the size of an egg on my feet.

I went to the airport to surprise my husband, wearing a teddy and trenchcoat! His flight was 6 hours late, I was stranded at the airport, no money, no car - this was pre-cell phone days! When he finally arrived he was with a woman he offered to drive home due to delayed flight. That was a uncomfortble ride!

I brought home a Valentine's Day bouquet of flowers for my wife. Our cats ate some of the flowers and got sick. My wife told me to never bring home flowers again. Can I get points for trying? The road to love ain't easy.

My worst Valentine's Day was when my boyfriend purchased fake roses and sprayed them blue because that was his favorite color (not mine). He put them in this pretty box with red bow and I opened them and it smell like old food.

My wife sent me roses for Valentine's Day. Wen they came they had another man's name on the card. My Wife was home when they arrived. When I got home, I had all kinds of questions for her - it was ugly. But we called the florist and got it taken care of. After that, we had a great Valentine's Day!
