‘Tis the season of love, and while that’s awesome for those new-in-love, or always-been-in-love people out there who have got the seven days leading up to Valentine’s Day down pat, wishing their crush or partner everything from rose day to hug day, there are at least three others for each of them who dread this one week of February.

Massive hearts everywhere, love songs playing on the radio and not to forget the sudden appearance of love-locked couples at every mall, restaurant, park or public space you can think of.

Well, we browsed the Net to present to you a couple of options that you may relate to, or even just have a good friendly laugh with. Check these out:
