"I would not feel bad in any case because I am sure that love is beyond the Valentines Day gift. I will not do anything and that can never stop me from giving my lover what I intended to give them.”
Aline Gahongayire, Gospel singer.
"It would be a challenging situation for me but it is obvious that I will fell like this person is not there for me. I then try to give her my gift and if she does not appreciate, I will suspect that someone else is probably taking over.”
Kim Kizito, City Radio Presenter.
"I will not feel special at all before my lover. I will not even bother asking him why he didn’t give me a gift. Instead, I will try to accept what has happened and I will not do anything to revenge.”
Josiane Ingabire, Miss Jojo’s Dancer.
"If I happen not to get a gift from my lover, as a man I just take it simple since I believe that Valentines Day is not only about gifts. I can never feel bad or even resort to doing anything against my lover.”
