I have a tradition, however cliché. Every V-day I buy a box of chocolates wrap it in paper, and run a fuck ton of errands.

I eventually run into a girl by herself (however rare). I ask her "How much do you hate chocolate?".

She'll answer one of three ways.

  1. Complete silence, the epitome of "wtf are you doing?". You can test your luck and try some witty comment, it might save you. Otherwise walk the fuck away, she's probably a bitch or a VERY easily offended girlfriend (of someone else)

  2. Some variation of "excuse me?". Repeat the question. Usually she'll follow up with response 3 or 1.

  3. "I don't." Hand her the box, say "Happy Valentine's Day", smile amd walk away.

This is a risky move. She might not come after you. BUT IF SHE DOES, you're in. As long as you don't say something creepy (you know what I mean)

Best of luck. I've done this for 7 years. I have a blast regardless of outcome.
