Galentine’s Day Unwrapped: A Deep Dive Into Celebrations, Expectations, Gifting, and Love Languages | lovelustfridays

Jake, Michele, and Haley team up with Lauryn (lovelustfear) for an epic battle between Galentine’s Day and Valentine’s Day, sharing awkward dating experiences that have shaped their views on the holiday. They dive into the communication struggles between men and women, the decisions behind regifting, and how their understanding of love languages has changed over the years. Their conversation also touches on classic Valentine’s Day topics—proposals, gifts like chocolates and stuffed animals, and the pressure to make the day unforgettable. To wrap it up, they get playful with games like ‘Never Have I Ever’ and ‘Love it or Leave it.’ Discussion Links  https://rosetoyofficial-us.com/ (Tell them Michele sent you!) https://stlzoo.org/give/zoo-parents-program/valentine  https://www.farmsanctuary.org/news-stories/2025-valentines-day/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.walmart.com/ip/DesignPac-Jack-Links-Valentine-Meat-Fur-You-Heart-Box-0-625oz/2465067498 https://manlymanco.com/products/meathearts?variant=31479920951379 https://www.etsy.com/market/valentines_coupons  Series Links lovelustfear https://www.instagram.com/lovelustfearpod/ lovelustfridays https://www.instagram.com/lovelustfridays Jake Deptula www.instagram.com/jaked3000 Michele Locke https://www.michelelocke.com/ https://www.instagram.com/attorneymichelelocke/ Haley Gray | Producer & Researcher https://www.instagram.com/HaleyGrayResearch www.HaleyGrayResearch.com  National Domestic Violence Hotline (24/7/365) Call 1.800.799.SAFE (7233) Text: START to 88788  https://www.thehotline.org/ https://www.facebook.com/NationalDomesticViolenceHotline https://www.instagram.com/NDVHofficial/ music | sounds On Hold for You Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ guest + story | submission information  If you have a dating or relationship story to share, want to participate in a discussion here on lovelustfridays, or have a topic you’d like us to cover, contact us below.
