Ah, Valentine’s Day! It’s supposed to be the most romantic day of the year. And for many people, it potentially is. However, it would be naive to think that everyone feels happiness, love, and passion on February 14. Far from it! Rejection is something that doesn’t take any time off, and it can sting even more than usual when it happens on this day. Nor do all your dreams come true when you like someone very much.
Our team at Bored Panda is featuring some of the most hilarious and tragic Valentine’s Day fails that have ever happened to anyone. These pics might not make your heart skip a beat, but they’ll likely hit you right in your meow-meow. Scroll down for a good dose of laughter through tears, a bit of secondhand sadness, and a reminder that even the best-laid plans can go awry.
Bored Panda wanted to learn how we can all handle rejection better, as well as how to show our partners that we appreciate them throughout the year, not just on Valentine's Day. We got in touch with Glenn Geher, Ph.D., who was kind enough to answer our questions. Dr. Geher is a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz and a published author.
