Well the big day is fast approaching and needless to say I found a list of the many mistakes that guys make.......I have to say that too many of these sound too familiar. So save a girl some stress and do the right thing......1. Saying he doesn't believe in commercial holidays two seconds after you've given him a cute card or gift.
2. Telling you, "God, we're never going to be able to get a dinner reservation tonight because it's stupid Valentine's Day." FYI you should have already made one.
3. Giving you wilted supermarket flowers. Vday flowers must be ordered and delivered to work.
4. E-mailing you the morning of the 14th to say, "Hey, so what are you up to tonight?" He's not asking you out, just wondering if you'll be out with someone else.
5. Taking you to a fast-food drive-through, then renting a movie.
6. Handing you a rose cast in gold because "This flower won't die. Just like my feelings for you will never die, baby." Or handing you a personalized paper weight with a photo of you one it. If you want to look at yourself cast in glass....get a mirror!
8. Insisting on treating you to a lavish dinner and ordering tons of appetizers, the priciest entrée, and two bottles of wine (most of which he drinks). Then when the bill comes, Loverboy asks if you can throw in, say, 80 bucks or so.
9. Setting tentative plans but not telling you exactly what time he's picking you up or where you're going. Then — surprise! — at 9:45, he tells you he's stuck at work. Congratulations now he has avoided Valentine's Day and not let you make alternate plans.
10. Then telling you before he hangs up, "Look, I really wanna make it up to you," but not bothering to nail down a date......Guys make a plan.....more than a day in advance.
11. Dumping you the day before because he didn't want to torment you by going through the motions. (At least you could have gotten one last fancy meal out of the deal.) If he does this he still gets cooties from girls and gets noxious at the thought of giving a gift.
12. Buying you chocolates the day after V-Day because the prices were slashed. Buying anything the day after does not matter. VDay is the 14th not 15th.
13. Giving you ghastly mall-rat jewelry that you saw on his sister the week before.
14. Waiting until February 13th to make plans with you because, hey, you're his girlfriend.
15. Taking you anywhere that serves two-for-one meals or any VDay special for that matter. And with the recession this is going to become far too common.
18. Sending you carnations with baby's breath and plastic freestanding heart ornaments that are so ugly, you have to do an Edward Scissorhands on them before you can put them on your desk at work. or you have to chunk them before you make it back to your desk.
19. Inviting you out for an evening with him ... and his mother.
20. And my personal favorite (make that a very merry unfavorite) Happy Valentine's Day.......a donation had been made in your name.
The key here is just have a plan and put a little thought into things.....it will pay off in the long run. Don't make plans with no definite location. Don't get angry the week and/or day before Valentine's Day. Oh well....here's to Valentine's Day.
