Valentine's Tips
- 12 Feb 2007 09:15
Valentine's Day is a special time in which you will naturally want to spoil that special person in your life. Here's my ideas on how you could make this year's February 14 one to remember:
Valentine's cards - make or buy?
Don't make a Valentine's card, buy one. You're never going to get that glossy finish with felttip pens. It costs a lot less to make a card, but why put in all the effort if there's a chance they don't feel the same way?
Flowers - too traditional?
I don't know about that but if you do, always buy artificial flowers; they last longer and don't need watering. A high-maintenance bunch of flowers could make her think YOU are highmaintenance. Oh, and; only give flowers to a girl if you're absolutely CERTAIN they haven't got a boyfriend. Consequences could be dire.
What about taking her out for a meal?
Never take a girl out for a meal around Valentine's day. The restaurants all put their prices up and they're always over-crowded. However, NEVER cook for them either, you'll never do it as good as a restaurant.
A night in with a DVD and a take out will be an extra-special winner. Fish and chips is always popular, but if you're feeling flash, take out pizza is a luxury to treat her to.
In the back row of the movies....
Valentine's day this year falls on a Wednesday; if you're an Orange customer and have managed to find a date you could take advantage or Orange Wednesdays. And maybe your valentine in the back row.
Don't have a date yet?
If you want to meet someone before Valentine's Day, don't go to a men-only club. This significantly reduces your chances of meeting someone female.
Also; chat up lines are wrong and bad - your victim, sorry, valentine, will much prefer it if you fill them in on your favourite hobbies such as your university society or current American TV series obsession. This will enable you to really be yourself and show your enthusiastic side, which they will love, especially if you talk non-stop for fifteen minutes.
Good luck and Happy Valentine's Day.
