VALENTINE'S DAY: For Women AND Men

QUESTION: 

 VALENTINE’S DAY seems to be geared towards WOMEN in today’s world. But, do you think MEN really want to be included? Also, what is the best place or SPECIAL AND NON CONVENTIONAL thing to do on Valentine’s Day??

ANSWER: 

Yes it is true that insecure women in relationships love them some Valentine’s Day. It is a day that they can feel special, if not any other day. Their man gets them chocolate, flowers, stuffed animals, etc. They swoon over these small (and cheap) gifts and then its February 15. Therefore, I MUST say if you look forward to Valentine’s Day because it is the only day that your man makes you feel “special” that you are not in a good relationship, because he should make you feel like a Queen every day of the week, all year round. I’m sorry if this applies to you but you know what is best to do. Time is of the essence.

If you are in a secure committed relationship, I am so proud of you (and I am jealous). Ha. No seriously, I am happy for you and to be honest, Valentine’s Day doesn’t phase you: it’s just a day in the middle of February that you can spend a little extra time with the love of your life.

On another note, men like feeling special just like women do. Men and women have tons of differences but that is definitely not one of them! Men go through a lot of trouble to impress and keep his woman. So why not do something special for him on Valentine’s Day? Guys like: showing off, food, and knowing that they are special. Get him something that he can show off to his buddies, such as a flashy watch.  Buy him a gift card to his favorite fast food place or restaurant (to be used outside of a date). He will love it. I know I would!! The last thing that I think you should do is get an I.D. Bracelet that has a phrase from a song that you two consider "your song", but nothing too sappy, because he then won’t wear it.

To people who are secure in their relationships: Do something DIFFERENT this year! Make your mate feel like a king/queen. I suggest you show him/her that you notice his/her desires. What is something that he/she enjoys doing? What movies/shows does he/she like? Where does he/she feel happiest at?

Once you answer those questions, you’ll know the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your mate.

For example my perfect VDay would be making my mate Breakfast in Bed, then giving him a small gift that I know he would enjoy/treasure. Next I would want to go out to eat for lunch at my favorite restaurant followed by a movie, whether it be in the living room or in the theater. Next I'd want to go somewhere we both enjoy, such as bowling. Ending the day with a romantic candlelit dinner would be ideal, but I'd actually enjoy a movie night with pizza.Valentine's Day isn't about what you get or give, its about HOW you spend the day..with a few red hearts in the air.

ALSO I personally suggest going on an exclusive date and then get a “couple’s massage.” The effects of a massage last longer than just one day, not to mention the health benefits, and giving someone else a job in this terrible economy. Also, it will definitely put you in a great mood and will make your Valentine’s Day one you’ll never forget.
