Driving to work, I passed a White Castle restaurant.  What I saw was shocking.  Not the restaurant itself, which is full of small greasy hamburgers.  Not the fact that well past a normal lunch hour, there were still lots of cars in the parking lot.  No, what shocked me was their sign, “Valentines Reservations (phone number).”

Huh?  Valentines Day at White Castle?  I mentioned this to a friend at work and it’s a real thing.  Apparently, they scale up their menu on Valentines Day and for one night become a sit-down restaurant.  People sit-down.  Wait staff helps them.  They select food from an actual menu with real food type items.  It’s a real thing.  I remained shocked.

Shocked at the clever nature of the promotion.  What better way for women to weed out questionable life companions?  “Hey, honey.  Happy Valentines Day!  Guess what?  I got us reservations at White Castle!”  Oh my dear God in Heaven.  Not good.  Not a good situation at all or under any circumstance.

So here it is, my Free Relationship Advice of the Day.  Gentlemen, you might think it would be funny.  You might think it would be adventurous.  You might actually think in your gut of guts that it might even taste good.  Listen here, YOU’RE WRONG!  DEAD WRONG!  BAD IDEA!

There are plenty of great options for Valentines Day.  Wine, flowers, chocolate, or a pretty card would all work, but trust me, my friend, White Castle does not belong in this group.  Never, ever, ever.  #MakeLoveNotMistakes
