Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!
Welcome to another episode of Why Am I Still Single?—and today, we’re diving into Valentine’s Day trauma.
For years, my Valentine’s gift exchange was nothing short of a national embarrassment. While other guys were getting PS5s, designer perfumes, and surprise trips, my love life felt like a cruel social experiment. My gifts? A pack of Cabin biscuits (yes, dry biscuits with no drink), a tube of toothpaste (was she hinting at something?), and a mug with my name spelled completely wrong. At some point, I started believing I was the problem.
Then came 2022. That’s when I met Nnena. And the gift she got me? Unbelievable. The kind of thing that made me question if Cupid had finally decided to stop playing with my destiny.
What was the gift? Did my Valentine’s Day curse finally break? Or was this another setup from the universe? Tune in to find out.
