Valentine’s Day Myths Debunked

How do you like to spend Valentine’s Day with your girl? Men often limit it in just gifting flowers and chocolates which your girl might not like at all. Here are a few myths on Valentine’s Day debunked.

Myth 1: Chocolate and Flowers are the best V-Day gifts…
Not anymore. These are some things that have become clichés. Girls want something special on this day. Just make it special with some thing really precious or unique such as gold jewellery or a long drive or a candlelight dinner.

Myth 2: Gifts on Valentines Day must be expensive…
It’s not the price of the gift that matters to women. What matters is the love and warmth associated with it. Most women love to spend a romantic day with her beloved on this special day. If you can arrange it that way there is no need for expensive gifts.

Myth 3: Dining out is a Valentine’s Day staple
Dining together is an all time favorite for women. Not necessarily you have to go for dinner at a five-star restaurant. Rather you can make it very private and therefore special at home. Order her favorite dishes, set the table on the terrace and light some scented candles to make it even more romantic and see, how she loves it.

With Valentine’s Day is round the corner you must be planning for dating and meeting. It is often noticed that in the excitement of first date or dating with the ‘prince charming’ young women often make blunders. It becomes too late when they realize that they fell for the wrong guy.

Make sure that this doesn’t happen to you in your quest for ‘Mr. Right’. Keep your eyes open whenever you go on a date. So that you don’t fail to notice any or all of the following in the man sitting opposite to you:

  • Wears engagement ring on his finger
  • Keeps talking about his ex or previous relationships (whether good or bad)
  • Speaks badly about women or has no respect for women
  • Behaves rudely with waiters or other people around
  • Shows bad manners
  • Looking around when you are talking to him (i.e. he is not paying attention to what you are saying)
  • Is drinking too much
  • Doesn’t offer to pay the bill

More than that, you need an open mind to judge things rightly. Talk less and listen carefully, because what ever he says and how he says it matters a lot in judging the person.
