Don't date to have someone to assuage your misery about Valentine's Day. |

Just wanted to say I agree with both of you on this. I was taking what zoo said to mean getting into a
relationship with just any guy, which I don't think is a great idea. Certainly going on dates with different guys is a great idea.
There I go taking things the wrong way again...
