A) Muse A and Muse B have been together for several years. Muse A wants to make this V-day extra special for their significant other. They plan to recreate the first date they had with Muse B down to the last detail. Despite their best efforts to surprise Muse B, nearly everything goes wrong. Somewhere along the way, Muse Brealizes what Muse A's trying to achieve and even though it's not perfect, they definitely feel the love.

Muse B answers the ad. Muse A and Muse B communicate virtually for a few weeks before agreeing to meet in person. The pair meet up at a neutral location on Valentine's Day, simply because they both happen to be available then.

C) Muse A and Muse B are friends who live a considerable distance from one another. They were quite close growing up and they have remained good friends into adulthood. Despite family and friends swearing that they would make the perfect couple, Muse A and Muse B have never been anything more than friends. And they're perfectly content that way. Every February 14th, they reunite and spend the day together from sunrise to sun down, sparing one another from the romantic stuff that they'd both rather avoid.

D) Muse A hates everything associated with V-Day. The commercialism. The public displays of affection. The chalky heart-shaped candies. Every V-Day they typically lock themselves inside and avoid all instances of conventional romance, since they have zero interest in that sort of thing. Instead of spending the day with a significant other like seemingly everyone else around them, this year they decide to devote the day to themselves. They will mark something off their bucket list, or several things if they can. They meet Muse B on the first stop of their "self-day" and the two strangers have a good time, taking the day back.

E) Muse A and Muse B don't have plans for a traditionally romantic valentine's day this year. They thought it'd be nice to stay home and spend quality time with their loved ones instead.

Muse A and Muse B go all-out, putting their platonic twist on the traditional couple-oriented activities like a pampering spa day and an eloquent dinner date.
