It can be tough being single on Valentine’s Day. It can be particularly tough being single for Valentine’s during a pandemic!
That’s the subject of the latest video from YouTube comic, Michael Henry, which besides being humorous, finds Henry in a more reflective mood and revealing he’s “Never had a Valentine.” and “Never had a boyfriend. Never been in love.”
Although a friend (played by the drag queen, Meatball) reassures him Valentine’s Day is just a “silly holiday”, Henry wonders why some people seem to find it so easy to fall in love, while others do not.
After further probing from the friend, it seems Henry’s experiences with “love” have all involved “games, chasing, rejection, and feeling crushed,” … something which, well, many others might be able to relate to.

Indeed, the commentators on YouTube appreciate Henry’s honesty.
“I’ll be 33 this year and have never had a boyfriend. It gets lonely,” says one.
“My Valentine is my little doggie and we usually cry together and go to bed early,” offered another.
“Yes it is true. I’ve never had a boyfriend,” Henry confirmed to Queerty. “Never been in love. I’ve liked guys. Loved guys. Had feeling for guys. That did not have those same feelings for me.”
Would he have any advice for others in the same boat this weekend?
“I guess the advice I have for someone like me that hasn’t had a boyfriend before either is to not be too hard on yourself this Valentine’s Day. Finding a boyfriend/love is hard. Someone will come into your life when the universe knows that’s you’re ready for it. As much as I want it, I honestly don’t know if I could have handled having a boyfriend/love before today. At least that’s what I tell myself,” he laughs.
“Also, tell people to slide into my DMs if they wanna be my Valentine!”

I try and try and try with this guy but he’s just not funny.

Yep. He’s never had a boyfriend because he’s judgmental, abrasive, holier-than-thou, and demands that everybody in the room pay attention to him.
That’s fine and he can do that if he wants–it may even work as far as achieving fame is concerned. However, it’s not likely to work out in the love department. Even in the “getting laid” classification, the looks aren’t there either and I’m waiting for the anti-fat-shaming and “obese is healthy, stupids!” video.

Yeah… .I thought some of his much earlier videos were pretty hilarious. But I feel that he’s run out of decent material of late.

Are we watching the same actor? I find Michael Henry relatable in a quirky way. I enjoy each new adventure. Even the cringe-worthy ones…ah, so true.

Funny how some people feel the need to say why you hate someone. I love his comedy and his videos. There is usually some kind of underlying truth to the LGBTQ community in every video. Keep it up. I know its been more difficult with covid and having to stay 6 feet apart…but he’s doing it and brings a lot of truth along the way.
