The day of ‘love’
February 14, 2026
In the past, we’ve run polls on Valentine’s Day to find out how people feel about it, how they celebrate it, the most romantic getaways in WA etc. etc. But by far the largest response we ever had was to asking people for their failed dating stories – people loved sending them and we loved reading them!
So this year, we opened the floor for staff to tell us a bad dating story to give us all a laugh on Valentine’s Day. We kept the stories anonymous and enjoyed guessing who the tales belonged to. It was fun to see new fails join the wall throughout the day – simple misunderstandings, primary school ‘relationships’ and a few red herrings thrown in which were particularly amusing.
We hope you enjoyed Valentine’s Day however you spent it – curled up with a good book, a loved one, a friend or a pet.
