Oh no, check your calendars everyone!With the foreboding date of February 14th a mere two days away, it's time for all you singles out there to quickly find yourselves a nice mensch to spend the holiday with. Today's Love a Mensch Day, a quirky little holiday that comes to us from famed love coach, Robin Gorman Newman.
For those not in the know, mensch is a Yiddish word. Mensches are decent, respectable, men or women that you could proudly bring home to mom and pop without the worry of marring your family's name.
However, if you have a penchant for seedier types, by all means, don't love a mensch at all today. Just jot through your address book and see if you can find someone more appealing to your tastes. And if you're happy not having a mensch for V-Day, or anyone for that matter, that's fine too. We don't want to push some sort of co-dependant notion of happiness on you.

Thanks so much for the mention!! I hope people enjoy celebrating the occasion.
It's actually Love a Mensch Week, and here are the details:
LOVE A MENSCH WEEK - February 11 -17, 2008
Mensches are decent, responsible men or women. During this week, singles look to meet a mensch as well as take time to appreciate how mensches enhance our lives.
