Yes, it's that time of year again. Love is in the air and so are lovey-dovey images of hearts, flowers, candy, and cupid.
While a few of you may actually relish this time of year, most of you are probably confused as to
what your gal expects of you. After all, Valentine's Day is when she's waiting to be pampered and, like it or not, she may even be using the day to test your interest in her.
But don't let the pressure get you down. Along with the
stress also comes an invaluable opportunity to impress her. A quick perusal of the following Valentine's Day myths might surprise you -- they may even burst some of your long-held beliefs about the holiday. So read on and you'll be in good shape to minimize your effort and maximize the advantages that Valentine's Day can afford you.
Myth #1
It's okay to skip Valentine's Day
Why this is false: She might realize that it's a hyped-up holiday, but that won't get you off the hook completely. She'll see her friends going on
dates and wonder why you aren't stepping up to the plate.
What to do instead: You can keep Valentine's Day low-key and celebrate it in your own way. Plan an activity that you both enjoy and declare it your own celebration -- like ice skating, tobogganing or hiking. Any activity that you do together will show her that you gave the day some thought.
Myth #2
You have to celebrate on February 14th Why this is false: No one says you have to celebrate on the same day as everyone else -- that's so conventional.
What to do instead: Pick another day in the week to plan your date and declare that day your own personal Valentine's Day. Places will be less crowded and you won't be made to feel like another sheep in the crowd. She won't care when you celebrate as long as she sees you've put some thought into it. She may even appreciate mixing it up.
There is
never a reason to skip Valentine's Day...

Charlotte, are you nuts? You spent Valentine's feeling sorry for yourself and whenever your boyfriend checked in with you, you hit him with a guilt trip. And this is a new boyfriend...what makes you think he will stick around if you act like this? The way you could have avoided all this unhappiness would have been to make plans with female friends and have fun. So when he called, you could have told him you were having a good time and meant it.
Some women can just be so mean.
I tried to be a good and romantic person again today and I got burned. It is Valentine's day. I wanted to do something nice.
I called her at 7:45 am this morning, that is when she is on the road going to her work.
She picked the phone up and with my big sexy and happy voice I said:
" Good morning to you . Today is a special day. I am taking you out tonight to a very special place for fun. I also want to wish you "Happy Valentine" and a day full of joy and happiness" She went silent for a couple seconds and the following is her answer.
" I wish you did not call me anymore"
I told her that I could not understand how she could have so much hatred for me at 8:00 in the morning after I wished her a great day" and offered to treat her
so nice on this special day.
She told me that she could not talk and that she was at a meeting. I have been so sick to my stomach since then. Last night, I almost went to the emergency to see a doctor.
I have known this woman for 5 years.
