Vy Trang, 21 -- Journalism "I broke up with my boyfriend after a year and nine months. I just turned 21 and I didn't want to be in a committed relationship anymore, plus he lives two hours away. He came down the night before, we talked about our relationship and both decided to move on, after a last 'hurrah' of course! I had school, came home and got butt-drunk on Heineken. I wanted to make a drunken call to my ex, but I passed out. The next morning I had a date anyway for sushi."

Sarah Gidick, 25 -- Political Science "I had class till 6:45 that night. I was really tired. I took my dogs to Dog Park, came home and got a call from this guy that wanted to take me out. It would've been our first date so I didn't want any of that Valentine's Day pressure. I'm very comfortable with my single status but I thought it would be too uncomfortable so we talked till midnight while I drank lemon martinis."

Johnny Flores, 48 - Communications/Radio "I took my fiancé to a nice intimate café/restaurant/lounge in National City called Café La Maze where they have a piano bar, romantic music and candles, and just a very personal setting. We had a great dinner, playing like teenagers under the table footsie, talking about how we met, what we had been through in our journey as a couple together and about our future plans to get married."

Greg Dart, 28 - Comm./Broadcasting "I ended up getting drunk. I went to the Ould Sod and walked the streets mingling. Basically, I was looking for a girl to take advantage of me. My advice to single men; don't go stag to any bar, they're going to think you're some weird lonely guy looking only to get laid. It looks very desperate, though I have to admit I've met some pretty decent girls at bars. Valentines Day is 'Single Awareness Day' to me."
