Six more days ‘til Valentine’s Day! And even though V-Day has been celebrated for over a hundred years now, I can still feel the love and sparks in the air every February 14. Although the means of celebrating this occasion has changed tremendously, with couples opting to stay in and munch on Angel’s heart-shaped pizza, there are still traditionalists who prefer to splurge on this special occasion with Ninyo’s 12-course Red Valentine Dégustation. One thing that has definitely not changed is the drama that surrounds the idea of love. And nothing defines drama more than these couples—or should I say trios.

TV shows:

Who could ever forget the Brooke-Lucas-Peyton love triangle? This show had its claws hooked on me so tight I literally cried when Lucas married Peyton. And yes, those were very bitter tears. Now that Brooke is happily married to Julian, another love triangle seems to be brewing right under my nose, the Dan-Blair-Chuck triangle. Although I would love to see how the romance between Blair and Dan play out, I’m on Team Chair all the way!

Music

Back before the war between blonde Taylor and brunette Taylor over Lucas Till erupted, the love triangle between housewife-man-Jolene was all the rage in the music scene.

Cartoons

Hey Arnold! was and still is my favorite cartoon series of all time! And although the series has been long gone, the love triangle between Tootie-Timmy-Trixie keeps the Helga-Arnold-Lila memories alive.

Comic Books

After nearly a century of double dating, scheming, and feuding, the classic love triangle that defined my childhood still lives on. And although my heart goes out to Betty, Veronica is definitely the much better choice for Archie.

Movies

In the ‘80s, every teenage girl was torn between the prep and the geek. Now, little girls, teens, and even moms are conflicted between the vampire and the werewolf. My, how times have changed!

So whether you’re the type of girl who enjoys a good ol’ love triangle or hates the idea of it, let’s face it, love triangles add a whole new dimension to a story. Advance Happy Valentine’s Day, Candy Girls!
