That's just, I don't know, wrong.
There's only a few people who benefit from V day anyways; the card stand workers, florists, candy shops keepers, little cute stuffed animal stores owners, and everyone in between. Think about it. The guy's freaking out because he wants to give his girl the perfect, romantic thing and has no clue what she wants and the girl don't get what she has in mind so she gets mad. So, why do we have this holiday again?
Since I don't have a Valentine, I've been thinking today of what I can do for the lovely people in my life. There's the usual flowers and chocolates and the cards that are cheesy and don't sound genuine, but none of that cuts it. I've brainstormed a few broad ideas, for both genders, and would like to hear what you have in mind. Hope this helps:
What guys can do for girls:
- What's her love language? Find out and act on it. (A love language is the specific way a person shows and feels love.) Don't know what the love languages are? There are five of them: words of kindness, acts of service, physical touch, gifts, and quality time. Want to learn more? Click here!
- Look her in the eyes when she's talking. In every girl's opinion, if someones not looking at her, they're not listening. I know, I know, eyes have nothing to do with ears, but look at her. It's a way to connect (which is vital to girls).
- One rose = 1 point. 12 roses = 1 point. Just give her one rose. It's cheaper and she'll like it just the same.
- Be yourself. She loves you for you, not some cooler, stronger, manlier Jo you think she wants you to be. She loves you because your you.
- Love languages apply to guys too. Find his love language and do it.
- Respect him. He loves you and would die for you. Treat him as the man he is.
- If you don't like what he dose for you today, don't be mad or belittling about it. He tried and that's more then others will do.
- Do something for him. I know he probably won't want a flower and a card, but you know him. You know what he likes so do something to make him smile.
