How To Subtly Show Your Booty Call You Don’t Want Him To Be Your Valentine
Guys love to act like every girl they meet is trying to date them. Little do they know, a lot of the time we DGAF.
If you’re single and have a casual hook-up (or a few), Valentine’s Day is always an awkward time. Not because you’re secretly hoping he’ll surprise you with roses, but because you need to somehow communicate to him that you’re not trying to have him involved in any of your V-Day plans. Period.

The only problem is, if you directly tell him this, he’ll probably think you’re enacting some reverse psychology shit, and assume you actually really want him to be your boyfriend or something.
Here are subtle ways to tell him, “sorry bro, you aren’t the one.”

1. Laugh & Call Him Cute If He Brings It Up
You may not regard the word “cute” as a bad thing, but guys do, trust me. If your boy toy so much as brings up anything about Valentine’s Day, even if it’s a joke, make sure to laugh your ass off and say something like, “aww, you’re so cute.” But like, in a condescending manner, not in a, “you’re so cute I want to bang you” manner.
2. Openly Download Tinder
There’s no better way to show a dude he’s not your only one than to download Tinder and have the notifications pop up on your phone right in front of him. You could download another dating app, but Tinder is the most widely recognized, how could he not notice that little flame icon blowing up your phone when all your matches roll in? Yes, this might result in him being pissed that you’re talking to other dudes, but all you need to do is remind his ass that he’s not your boyfriend and probably never will be.

3. Make It Clear You Have Plans
You don’t want to shove the fact that you have plans in his face, because it might seem like you’re trying to bring up V-day, which is always a no-go. But if you think you can squeeze it in without looking like a psycho, go for it. You know, like wear some new lingerie and tell him you got it for this V-Day party you’re attending on Tuesday or whatever. Get creative, it’ll bust any of his ideas that he’s supposed to surprise you with a date.
4. Ignore Him For The Week Prior
The best way to show him you want nothing to do with him on Valentine’s Day is to just ignore him the whole week surrounding the 14th. Sure, you might miss your weekly dick appointment, but it might be worth not giving him the wrong idea. If you don’t want to full-on ignore him, you can just respond really vaguely to all his texts and tell him you’re “really busy” all week. Unless of course, he thinks you’re ignoring him because you’re mad he didn’t make V-day plans for you two. Then, you’re screwed.

5. Tell Him You Hate V-Day
At the risk of sounding like one of those annoying single girls who wears all black on V-Day to make a statement, you could casually mention to your booty call that you think Valentine’s Day is dumb af. That’ll nip any of his assumptions in the bud, and assure him that no, you don’t want to eat edible whipped cream off his pectoral muscles on the 14th.
