'At first, he seemed so charming'.
(From Leicester Mercury)
It can be a tough time for the singles among us when St Valentine's Day draws close. Non-attached women picture themselves 30 years on, as a friendless spinster, while men see a lifetime dependence on microwave food.
As Monday nears, amazing changes start to happen.
It's as if Cupid has swapped his hit-and-miss bow and arrow for an AK47 and a skip-full of love bullets.
People who once saw the personal adverts in the back of newspapers as mini-headstones of desperation, now find any old Barry from Birstall an enigmatic option with true-love potential.
It seems as if the scores of dating agencies on the scene have changed from hotlines to halitosis to gateways to gorgeousness.
Come on, there are still some good ones left, right? RIGHT?! Okay. So now you've spotted it: "Good looking male, 29, enjoys nights in, likes keep fit, looking for fun and friendship".
