I received an anonymous Valentine’s Day card today and now I’m puzzled. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m feeling all warm inside and just a little bit special too, but I’m still puzzled.

The reason I’m puzzled is that I can’t figure out who actually likes me enough to send me a Valentine’s Day card. It isn’t from my mother - you can save yourself the effort of writing that comment out before you begin - and I doubt it’s from any of my friends. I mean they like me, sure, they’re my friends. But I don’t think any of them like me in that specific way that gives rise to a valentine. So who’s it from?

More importantly, why’s it anonymous? I mean, it isn’t as though I have another half and putting a name on the card would make life awkward for anyone. Not unless they have another half and putting their name on the card would make life awkward for them. That’s a possibility I suppose…

Even so, what’s the worst that could happen?

Well, thinking about it, all the mystery and romance could be sucked out of the scenario and an existing relationship could be left in tatters, devoid of all trust. Still, it’d be nice to know who it’s from; unrequited affection can be a double edged sword.

Anyway, whoever you are, thank you for the card, it’s made my day, and happy Valentine’s.
