7 Things You Men Really Should Not Do on Valentine"s Day
Have you ever had one of those disappointing days where you feel as if you were an after-thought? Many people have I am sure and it's no picnic let me tell you.
Some people can be rather thoughtless around Valentine's Day because it is not really important to them.
What they should consider though, is whether or not it is important to the other person.
After all, it's about their happiness and letting them know how special they are.
I am confident that your thoughtfulness and good intentions will be reciprocated if you put in some effort.
1.
Do not rush out the night before or early in the morning and buy a silly little card from your local convenience store or a bunch of carelessly put together flowers.
This will not work and we will see right through it.
2.
If you can, avoid anything work related by booking the day off or calling in sick.
The day should be about someone you care about and only about them.
Everything else can wait till the 15th.
Avoid all household chores as well and ask the other person to do the same.
3.
Do not go to a bar, pub or club and spend the night drinking with your friends.
Men who do this tend to end up single shortly afterward.
If you value the other person, spend the day with them and them only.
4.
Do not forget this important day and don't even pretend you have forgotten, unless you have one hell of a surprise to make up for it.
It may not be important to you, but it is to us! 5.
Buy something thoughtful that will hopefully last.
Chocolates make us girls fat and flowers die.
A teddy bear is always cute and welcomed, but put some thought and effort into our gifts.
We deserve something special.
6.
Do not buy us something that is more for your benefit than ours.
If you must buy us lingerie (which we do still want by the way) then at least compliment the sexy negligee or whatever it is with some jewellery or something similar that will make us smile.
7.
If you say you are going to wine and dine us, then do so.
Don't say you will cook if you intend to ask us for help every 5 minutes and do not take us to a restaurant if you have no intentions of paying.
On that note I am going to leave you with one more thought.
Valentine's Day may be a commercial dream come true for retail stores and romance should not be confined to this one day, but it is still a romantic holiday and should be treated as such.
