‘Should I send him
a valentine card?’

Dear Tita,

Last year I met Carlo at a party and we hit it off right away.He began texting me and calling me often just to chat and laugh over silly jokes. Soon we were enjoying each other’s company at our favorite fastfood restaurant.My officemates kept teasing me over my new BF but we were not on yet.

Last Valentines Day he gave me a bracelet with a card where he wrote I Love You. I knew right away that I had fallen in love with him too and so we were “on”. It was the happiest times of my life. Carlo was so sweet, caring and thoughtful. I thought my happiness would last forever.

One day a friend of mine told me that she saw Carlo at the mall with a pretty woman and they seemed very sweet. I was heartbroken. That evening when Carlo came to the office to pick me up, I confronted him about his going out with another woman. He denied being sweet to her and told me she was Mila, the girlfriend of his cousin and they had just broken up.

He said he was just trying to console her as she was so heartsick over their breakup. In my jealousy, I refused to believe him and I threw the bracelet he gave me to his face. I shouted that I never wanted to see him again. Carlo stood up and silently walked away. He didn’t try to contact me again. I cried for days as I did love him so much. A few weeks later, I found out from a friend that whatCarlo told me was true after all. I immediately contacted Carlo but he did not respond. Finallly I gave up.

It’s Valentines again and I want to send a card to Carlo asking him to forgive me. Is it okay if I do this? Won’t it seem like I’m begging since he never responded to my messages?

STILL IN LOVE

Dear Still in Love,

You were so foolishly jealous that you acted irrationally. You didn’t even listen to

Carlo’s explanation and in your rage, you threw his gift of love at his face, telling him you never wanted to see him again. Well, what did you expect? He did what you told him to do – stay away from you. Now that a friend told you what the real score was, you think he would just come back to you as though nothing happened? Girl, the guy has his pride.

You don’t know how much youhurt him to the core that night. Some men can not just forgive and forget so easily. Carlo must be this type of man. Since all your overtures went unanswered, I wouldn’t expect too much if you tried again.But go ahead and send him a Valentines Card. Be sure the message is friendly and sweet. He might just give you another chance. Who knows?

HAPPY VALENTINES!

TITA
