Ah, Valentine's Day. For some it's a day of love and affection, for others a cruel reminder of their single status or another "Regular holiday." That's why most of "us" prefer to keep our Valentines subtle. Red roses at work? Romantic. Giant teddy bear the size of a three yr baby? Not so much.
Admittedly, I am possibly the one of the few persons on the planet who can openly admit to their single status this season while so many others are having problems of who to celebrate val with, what to buy, what excuse to give the other girls (Single Me Dancing,lol). It's cheesy, yes. For many, it's yet another reminder that they need a table for one in a world of two-seaters. Even so, there are things even I would rather not receive in public.
Here are some more embarrassing gifts ladies would prefer in private:
1.Giant stuffed animals: Save these for home (or not at all). Not to be all cruel and callous, but I can't count the number of stuffed animals our girls have tossed up after breakups. The teddy bear might be cute, but she's not 10 and I probably believe she wants something better not a mute bear. Note this: The teddy can NEVER replace you even when she claims to feel cool cuddling her teddy during the cold, don't treat her like a secondary school girl. Get her a worthy Gift.
2.A diamond: Proposing on Valentine's Day is a somewhat cruel (and cliched) thing to do. Doing this puts your lady/woman in a very tight corner where she's got no choice than to say Yes, obviously cos she doesn't wanna spoil the fun and then this act permanently link her to a holiday so many think is cheesy. That is too much pressure, DON'T tease/cajole her with this if you aint truly ready for Commitment....Ladies are Soft Hearted.....Did i just say they are?..lol
3.Bunch of balloons: This is cute, but it takes up a lot of cubicle space and isn't practical to take home from work; especially if she works on the island. If you drive, it's even worse. How do you expect her to see out the back? How bad would you feel if your honey dies transporting balloons? Better to deliver these at home.
4.Flowers with racy message: Getting a bouquet of red roses is sweet and nice to show off. Getting flowers with a card that reads: "I can't wait to eat you up tonight?" Not so much. Save your words for the bedroom or private text message.
5.Getting Dumped: Am sure many won't expect this but trust me, some guys can be so shocking. As you read this, try ask yourself this question "Are we truly cool together?"...Dear Guys, even if she has hurt you severally and you want a pay back, even if she's slept with your best friend and you wanna hit her hard...Please don't do this to her tomorrow and even if you will do, don't surprise her with this while she's at work....Remember she's so anxious to receive a worthy gift from you, rather than hurt her with this kindly chose 'FORGIVENESS" on this special date. Send her a note, sms or bbm message with this lines "Even though you've made me cry several times, even though you've shattered our love yet i stayed by you...Here is me saying your sins are forgiven and our love is renewed,Happy Valentine's Day My Love"
Are there any gifts you don't want to get this year?
