I've come to know '
Desperation Day' from
Barney Stinson in
HIMYM. It's logic, make sense and that's why I'm sharing it here in room8five today :D
February 14 is Valentine's Day, where all the couples are out there having romantic dinner and intimate time with each other. As for some of the singles ladies (and men), they felt the need of going out for a date on Valentine's Day also.
They have the sense that it is not normal to go through Valentine's Day alone and without a date. So, when Vday is approaching and there is none yet to be going out on a date with them, they starts to become desperate for one, and will be willing to settle with whoever that asked them out for a date.
Thus February 13 is known as
Desperation Day (for the singles)!
I know it may sound silly for some, but you can't ignore the fact that there will be people who is desperate for a date on Vday. So if you still have some of the oranges from
Chap Goh Mei, why not try to give the person a call and see if they wanted to go out for a date on Valentine's Day with you or not, haha (provided if you are looking for a date also), if they are desperate, chances are they will say "yes".
PS: Try at your own risk. No success rate is guaranteed as this is something I learned from a tv series xD
