THINGS YOU SHOULD AVOID ON VALENTINE’S DAY

Valentine’s Day is something every student learns about. Many romantics eagerly await it all year long. We all know what we should do on Valentine’s Day, but do you know what you shouldn’t do on this special day? I have a list of 10 things you should avoid on Valentine’s Day if you want your girlfriend to still talk to you afterward!

1. Being Late

Being late is the first thing you should avoid on Valentine’s Day. Sometimes it’s truly unavoidable, but try not to schedule other things on that day. Even if you have a lot of tasks to do and plan to work a few extra hours, you might completely lose track of time and end up late for dinner. Remember, Valentine’s Day is about you and your girlfriend, so make sure to celebrate this holiday without any hindrances.

2. Pretending

Your girlfriend might not want a huge production, but when the whole world talks about hearts and flowers, it’s still nice to know you’re thinking about her. Don’t make your girlfriend worry if she’ll be left out. It’s like deliberately making your partner jealous. Both can cause hurt to your loved one, and being a partner shouldn’t involve intentionally causing pain and insecurity.

3. The Ring

Another thing to avoid on Valentine’s Day is the ring. If you’re not planning to propose marriage to your girlfriend, you shouldn’t give her a ring box on Valentine’s Day. That’s because the image of Valentine’s Day and the proposal is hammered into everyone from birth. When women see the ring, they expect men to propose. That would definitely ruin the mood for romance!

4. Roses

I know roses are associated with love, but that doesn’t mean everyone should buy roses. Valentine’s Day isn’t about everyone doing the same thing. So, it’s better to know what flowers your girlfriend truly loves. It could be lilies, daffodils, tulips, or violets. If you get your girlfriend three of her favorite flower, you’ll show the love you share and your knowledge of your partner, and that’s more meaningful than getting the same roses every woman gets on Valentine’s Day.

5. Marketing Messages

Valentine’s Day is about romance and love, but not about a card or a box of chocolates. Think about your love and focus on caring for your partner in your life. No one else can tell you how you should celebrate your love for each other. Never compare what you’re doing to what others are doing. It’s not a competition, and it doesn’t matter who got the biggest bouquet of flowers. It’s about the major reason for the celebration – love.

6. Lavish Gifts

I know, you’re in love and eager to please your girlfriend, especially if you’re in the new love phase of your relationship. The main thing to remember is that if you go overboard with Valentine’s Day, your girlfriend might feel embarrassed or ashamed if she only planned something tender and quiet. The day can end up being awkward and uncomfortable because your partner feels they’ve done less for you. Talk beforehand about the day’s plans and gifts, and both of you enjoy the holiday without any unhappy or guilty feelings.

7. Comparison

One of the major things to avoid on Valentine’s Day is comparing this current day to past Valentine’s Days. It can be very stressful and can even lead to disappointment. The only thing you should keep in mind on this special day is how you and your girlfriend love each other. You should show your love for each other in your own way, which can’t be compared to other couples. Your love is special and unique and isn’t based on objects, money, or destinations.

8. Going to a Restaurant Without Reservations

If you plan to go out for dinner, you should make reservations in advance! Many couples often go from one restaurant to another, find no available tables, and end up being very cranky and hungry. This is a poor way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The best way is a romantic dinner with candlelight, favorite music, and favorite foods.

9. Internet Poems

Around Valentine’s Day, many people are on the internet printing out the same love poems to give to their girlfriends. Tell me, does your partner deserve the exact same poem everyone else is getting? Why not try writing your own poem? It might not be perfect, but it will be a special gift that only your love will receive. Furthermore, it could be the poem that becomes cherished forever.

10. Self-Interest

Keeping love and romance alive in a relationship is the best way to keep it strong over months and years. Keep loving, communicating, and showing care for each other. It’s not about bouquets of roses and diamond bracelets. Genuine love is never based on spending money to prove it exists. It’s about two people showing concern, tenderness, and love and truly caring for each other.

Valentine’s Day is a special occasion meant to celebrate love and romance between partners. However, it’s important to approach the day with thoughtfulness and consideration for your loved one’s preferences and feelings. Avoiding common pitfalls such as being late, pretending, or making extravagant gestures can help ensure that the day is memorable for all the right reasons. Instead, focus on genuine expressions of love, thoughtful gestures, and meaningful experiences that reflect the unique bond you share with your partner. By prioritizing communication, understanding, and mutual respect, you can create a Valentine’s Day that strengthens your relationship and leaves both partners feeling cherished and appreciated.
