Things to avoid on Valentine Day (Part 2)

Here are some of the DONT’s for your special Valentine Season. Hope you will like it.

Canned Love Poetry
You can probably imagine that around Valentine’s Day, millions of people are on the web printing out the exact same 5 or 10 Love Poems to give to their true love. Is your partner really that ‘mundane’ that he or she deserves that same poem that everybody else gets? Take a step and try your own poem. It may not be a contest-winner, but it will truly be a one-of-the-kind, special gift that only your partner will get. And it may be one of those notes that becomes treasured forever.

Overwhelming Gifts

You may feel very exuberant about your love – especially if you’re still in the New Love phase of your relationship. One thing to be cautious about is that, if you go overboard in the things you do for Valentine’s Day, your partner may be ashamed or embarassed if he/she only planned something quiet and tender. The day may end up being awkward and distracted because one of you is feeling like what they contributed to the day wasn’t “enough”. Make sure you talk beforehand about the plans of the day, and even if it’s a surprise, give a general feel for what will be involved. That way you both enjoy the experience and there isn’t guilty or unhappy feelings.

Just Showing Up At a Restaurant
If you are planning on going out to dinner, make sure you make reservations beforehand! I’ve heard countless tales of couples going from one restaurant to another, finding hour or more waits at each one, and ending up very hungry and grumpy. That’s no way to spend Valentine’s Day. The idea way would be a romantic dinner for two of your very favorite dishes, home with candlelight and your favorite music. But if you MUST go out and be in the crowd, make solid reservations first.

Fighting, Jealousy, and Exs
There’s the potential for Valentine’s Day to be stressful, because you’ll have expectations built up in your head, your partner will, and you might even compare this current day to Valentine’s Days in the past. This can then lead to disappointment. Remember, ALL of that is in your HEAD. The only thing that should matter on this particular day is how you and your partner love each other. You two will choose to show that love to each other in your own personal way, which cannot be compared to any other couple on the planet. Your love is unique and special and isn’t based on money, or objects, or destinations. It’s based on you and your partner. If you find even the start of grumpniess growing in you, release it. Today is about love, about sharing your love

DONT End on February 15th
The best way for a relationship to stay strong and powerful over the months and years is to keep love and romance in it. To keep communicating, loving, showing you care for each other. It’s not about diamond bracelets and bouquets of roses – that’s the Flower Vendors talking. True love doesn’t rely on outlays of cash to prove it exists. There’s another term for that sort of a realationship. A love match is about two people who care for each other, and who show the tenderness, concern and love in real world situations, when it really matters.
