It's that special time of year again when lovers gaze into each other's eyes, and singles start Googleing unique ways to kill themselves. That's right - Valentines Day. The single most volatile holiday on the American calendar.
It has been well over 5 years since I have celebrated Valentines Day, and have in the last year or two have come to dread the day all together. It is just too much pressure, and who needs that? I completely understand why guys tend to despise it so much. That one day brings a boatload of pressure to be Mr.Romantic, and the average guy tends to crack under the stress. Fear not guys, the truth is that the average girl doesn't expect, want, or need a Hollywood style over-the-top evening. A little thoughtfulness counts for a lot, and if she is important to you then it is important that you let her know that - even if you aren't "Mr.Romantic".
So swallow the anxiety guys, it is just one day and it will be over before you know it. And ladies: relax. This whole romantic season thing is difficult for the guys already, let's not make it even harder by loading on extra and unrealistic expectations. Truth is, Valentines Day - though cheezy and over-commercialized is a good time to let the people you care about know that you care about them. Everyone likes to be appreciated, so take the time to appreciate those that mean the most to you.
That's all for now!
