The Internet's been abuzz about this billboard — many casting it off as an urban myth — but NPR has confirmed its existence on I-35 near Wyoming, MN. I can only guess people are so captivated by it because nobody knows how it got there. This is one time I'll give the former president the benefit of the doubt. If you manage to avoid thinking about your ex-boyfriend around Valentine's Day, you can reminisce about your ex-president instead!

I'm embarrassed to admit that I read The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists, written by a grown man who calls himself Styles. But I am proud to say that I did walk away with new vocabulary, including: "peacocking" (dressing for attention) and "neg" (a light insult wrapped in the package of a compliment). Something else I discovered? I would never pay thousands of dollars to learn how to become a pickup artist, and I would hopefully never date one.

But the sketchy nature of pickup educators, whose students are typically male, isn't stopping some women from getting in the business of teaching other women how to pick up men. In London, flirting coach Sue Ostler instructs women to use groundbreaking tricks like smiling and eye contact to help seduce men at bars. Sue says that female pickup artists differ from their male counterparts. In other words, she explains, women have standards:

"They home (sic) in on anyone without a male by their side and come up with cringeworthy lines. We won't do that. We are focusing on our personalities and developing a sense of warmth and likability."

Are you surprised women seek professional advice on how to pick up a mate?

I have been with my boyfriend for just under two years now and I still am unable to say whether I can see myself being happy with him for life or whether I think he is the one for me. I've heard that when you are with the "one" you just know that they are right for you, but I have always felt that in a lot of ways my boyfriend and I are not meant to be together.

I love him with all of my heart and it would kill me to leave him, but our relationship has not been an easy one to say the least. I am almost 13 years younger than he is, which adds a lot of complications, but in a lot of ways we mesh very well together because of the age gap. When we first got together we had a hard relationship because we both had to get used to the age difference and the response from other people but that is no longer an issue.

Whether you're single or taken, love Valentine's Day or dread it, I'm sure none of us would turn down a date from our favorite celebrity hottie. I know I'd love some candy hearts from Johnny Depp no matter how cheesy they are.

Who's your fantasy Valentine?
