Ahhh...Valentine’s Day! The holiday dreaded by most single women and all men. This article is mostly geared toward men. Ladies do not get upset, this is so we can get the best treatment today. But before I start with the men, I do want to help those single ladies and men out there that are looking a little on the lonely side this Valentine’s Day.
If your single this Valentine’s Day, why not take the initiative and ask that special someone you have had your eye on (you know the one) out on a date. Be daring you just never know what can happen and the rest of this article can be beneficial to you. Now that the single issue is out of the way, what about you couples?
Ladies, I am not going to comment on you because you all know how to shop and arouse your man. Am I right? Shopping is something we as ladies are born with; it’s in our blood. Arousal is something any woman can do if she takes off her clothes. Anyway, for the men out there who are clueless about this heart-happy holiday here are some tips you might want to think about before the big day is over.
1) The best thing you men can do to impress your girl on Valentine’s Day is by putting THOUGHT, EFFORT and ROMANCE into your surprise. Without any of these present I can assure you that you will be spending quality time out in the doghouse.
2) Most of the men who are reading this are probably college students and are broke off your asses. For you guys, start sweet-talking now, I guarantee it will come in handy later. Secondly here are some gift ideas that will sweep any women off her feet. There is always the “oh so famous” make your own dinner for two and one rose idea. (I do not mean Betty Crocker packaged food.) I mean do impress her my making something like steak or soul food. You can choose what kind of desert to treat her with. Oh, and of course you can never forget the stuffed animal heart bear and a box of chocolates.
3) For you rich and parent mooching guys, you have no excuses. Your gift ideas can range anywhere from a dozen roses, poems, jewelry and the big money seeker diamonds. Do not forget No. 1, if you already did go back and reread. Does dead dog walking mean anything to you?
4) This is probably the most important number to read and listen to fellas, so pay close attention. Before any major holiday your women (or acquaintance that you are shaking up with) is most likely to give you hints on what they want. All you have to do is take them window shopping and pay attention to those subtle clues. They can be expressed as; “Honey does this look good on me?” “Oh, I would love to have one of those!” “This is so awesome but I can not afford it right now” (hint, hint, and get your mind out of the gutter!) Take any women to the mall and I guarantee you’ll never have trouble finding that perfect gift. Victoria Secret is only recommended for the experienced couples. Give a woman a lacey thong when you have only been dating for a month and you might as well go try it on yourself, cause that is the only use your going to get out of that.
And last but not least, the worst thing you can do besides none of the suggestions above is to forget about this wonderful love-filled holiday! Guys if you do forget, sorry about your very short life. Now that you got some wonderful tips, get going. Good Luck guys, and Happy Valentines Day!
