I just feel so bad that day when I go into the store and see scores of men wandering around with dazed and confused or stressed looks on their faces trying to guess if they are doing the right thing. The anticipation of "not getting it right" or being judged or whatever. It seems like too much pressure. How can this be a fun day?<BR/><BR/>And then the whole thing about the next day, women talking about what they did, what they got, etc. The comparing, the complaining, the bragging.<BR/><BR/>If it works well for you, fabulous. I think in theory it's a fun idea -- the same basic principles of the anniversary celebration. But it seems like there's so much awkwardness and discomfort that can be generated that day too. We just take the easy way out and skip the whole thing.

I mean what do we get them? It's sketched in stone that guys should get us flowers and chocolate... I don't even like chocolate and I actually told my hubby last week not to get me any kind of candy because i'm getting chunky. lol instead we decided to make dinner together and watch or go to a movie... i think.. <BR/><BR/>good points!kuhkjhkhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404507670172677222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623138281692366839.post-29931825843765097512009-01-15T12:24:00.000-05:002009-01-15T12:24:00.000-05:00Great post.

However when you aren't lucky enough to be in a steady relationship - or you just happen to be dating someone casually, there shouldn't be such a rush to make plans. It is just a day after all.<BR/><BR/>And I think we forget men are actually a different breed of human!

However, I also don't think there's anything wrong with celebrating the holiday -- i.e. going out to dinner with a boyfriend, exchanging cards, etc. <BR/>The reality is that most couples are so hectic with work and real life chaos that they don't take time out to appreciate their significant other -- that's where VDay can be beneficial. At least it makes a couple take a time out from their hectic lives, get a a babysitter, go out to dinner, and have a romantic evening. <BR/>I agree with you that a guy shouldn't be expected to come up with an extravagant evening replete with dozens of rose petals etc. -- we all know that guys can't read girlfriends' minds. <BR/>However, I don't think there's anything wrong with celebrating the holiday if it doesn't get blown out of proportion. --What's wrong with finding an excuse to have a romantic evening? I don't see anything wrong with it haha.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04922998164080163631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623138281692366839.post-22517287043818942732009-01-15T10:20:00.000-05:002009-01-15T10:20:00.000-05:00Good stuff!
