While many bowlers were either absent or pre-bowled, most of the league knew what their true love is and spend Valentine's evening chucking balls down the lane.

On lanes 1&2, Omaha Hambone had a rather awkward blind date with with a mostly-prebowling Ebowla. #1 Power Ranked Bowler Kody Karnes showed off his guns with a team-leading 642 series, completely overwhelming Ebowla. Meanwhile, Sean Simmons used his 467 series in a failed effort to fend off the Hambone's advances. Omaha Hambone remains in 1st place, while Ebowla sinks 3 spots to 5th and is refusing to take any of Hambone's calls.

On lanes 3 & 4: A Scootless Terra Bowler brought in sub Jeff Long to run its fingers through Trump's Toupee. Led by Ben Spencer and his 455 series (including a new personal best game of 185), Terra Bowler secured 3 wins against Trump's Toupee. Meanwhile, led by Dustin Schmeltz and his 468 series and despite the help of new sub Jeremy Vornall, Trump's Toupee could only secure 1 win. Terra Bowler climbs 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while Trump's Toupee remains in 8th.

On lanes 5 & 6: Frankee's Uncles had an uncomfortable encounter with a half-present FYWFK that led to the latter team needing to use the dolly to show the nice policeman where they got touched. Led by Carl Goetz and his 617 series, Frankee's Uncles secured a clean sweep over FYWFK. Meanwhile, led by AJ Hofmann and his 517 series, FYWFK ended the encounter with the walk of shame. Frankee's Uncles climbs 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while FYWFK remains in 6th.

Finally, down on lanes 7 & 8: A solo Suckeredusintoit spent a romantic evening with Holy Sandbaggers, Batman!. Led by JoAnne Watson and her 280 series, Suckeredusintoit was overwhelmed by the passion of Holy Sandbaggers, Batman!. Meanwhile, #1 Head-to-Head bowler Aubrey Moren and his 571 series (with some help from Most Valuable Bowler Phil Schroder) led Holy Sandbaggers, Batman! to utter romantic bliss. Suckeredusintoit remains in 7th place, while Holy Sandbaggers, Batman! moves up 1 spot to 3rd.
