Love Help For Valentines Day
By John Rafter
February 14th is coming up and you want it to be a
romantic Valentines Day, yet what should you get your
sweetheart? You could get her Valentine roses and chocolates,
but she may think you’re too "traditional"
and boring.
You could get her a ring, but she may get overly excited
that you’re proposing to her and feel disappointed or
confused when she sees it’s just a normal ring. You
could make her dinner, but what if you screw it up?
Whether you feel you desperately need love help preparing
for the big day or not, it would behoove you to know
about a few of the common St Valentines Day
misconceptions.
Romantic Valentines Day Plans
One common myth is that "It is okay to skip Valentine’s
Day." The first thing you must realize is that
yes, St Valentines Day is an over-hyped "Hallmark"
holiday, but no, you can’t skip it, yet you don’t have
to celebrate in any pre-ordained, specific way.
The reality is that women always talk about their romantic
Valentines plans at work or with friends. Suddenly it
becomes a tool for social comparison and gauging one’s
own relationship. However, this doesn’t mean you have
to lose sleep over several consecutive days fretting
about how to make this holiday "bigger and better"
than what everyone else is doing.
Plan Something You Will Both Enjoy
Rather, you can celebrate low-key, just be sure to
plan something you both enjoy and make it appear thoughtful.
Low on cash? Cook her a pasta dish, buy a bottle of
wine, decorate with candles, turn on the music and hand
her a nice hand-written love letter for dessert. She
won’t be complaining.
Another Saint Valentine Day misconception is that you
must celebrate it on February 14th. Guys looking for
love help often feel like victims of their own schedules.
"I just have to work," they say. "There’s
nothing I can do about it. If she can’t understand that,
well then screw her." Wrong attitude!
Plan On A Day You Can Provide Her Your Full Attention
You don’t need to celebrate the same way or on
the same day as everyone else. Instead, you can review
your option and choose whatever day you have free (but
close enough to February 14th that your girl can still
tell her story to her friends).
Make sure you let her know you haven’t forgotten
about the day, but you’re planning on a day where
you can provide her with your full attention. The good
news is that the restaurants won’t be booked solid,
other activities won’t be as crowded and you can
allot the whole day to spoiling her.
Add A Little Twist To Your Gift
Lastly, love help advisors recommend that you steer
clear of overly conventional Valentines Day chocolate
gifts or Valentine roses. Sure, you can’t go wrong,
yet if you want to stick with tradition, then try a
subtle twist.
For instance, add some day lilies, orchids and tulips
in with your bouquet of flowers to show that you’ve
carefully selected each one to express your unique love.
Take Her To A Different Restaurant
If you’re going for chocolates, then you can buy Hershey’s
Kisses and add your own unique notes inside each one.
You can take her to dinner, but try a restaurant you’ve
never been to before that serves an interesting array
of dishes.
For instance, The Melting Pot restaurants allow you
to cook your own meal in savory sauces, cheeses and
chocolates, which will make your meal a real experience!
Or you can look for a murder mystery/dinner theater
performance to entertain while you eat. The couple that
laughs together, stays together.

More Valentines Day Facts....
What is the connection between Cupid and Valentines
Day?
The connection between Cupid and
Valentines Day is purely commercial. In Greek and Roman
mythology Cupid or Eros was the god of love. But the
Greeks and Romans celebrated the marriage of Zeus to
Hera.
Cupid worked all year long and
often caused more trouble than love. When Valentines
Day experienced a revival and commercialism took place,
the image of the god of love was one that represented
an innocent cherub in diapers shooting a golden arrow
of love to unite two people. It is still a huge selling
point with cards and merchandise.
