Significance of Valentines Day
There’s always been two different types of female mindsets in relation to couple relationships and Valentines.
The Pragmatist
My sister thinks Valentines is really nothing so special. Why go out when it’s so crowded in restaurants and you’re going to get crap food and service? (She’s not just bullshitting either. She’s been going out with her boyfriend for seven or eight years.) Plus it might get pretty awkward when the guy next to your table start proposing to the girl.
The Idealist
Here’s the type that expects men to do all the work. And it’s also commonly the type to think that Valentines is a must-date day. Because if you don’t date on Valentines Day then you’re not a couple and you don’t like each other. (I’m not making this up either. My friend actually said this to me and it made me feel like crying.)
I’m surrounded by the second type of girls who make me feel emo by talking about how a guy is supposed to do this and that for a girl. Basically, a nice “surprise” Valentines dinner date with red roses and a box of chocolates.
So how important do you think spending Valentines together is for a (new) couple? And how do you think it should be compensated if they don’t spend Valentines together?
