Ladies: how to avoid Valentine nightmare? (one man's perspective)

Valentine? Look, there is this little tiny shiny miracle rescue signal that she wants to avoid it.

So I will. As a man, all I am looking for is that signal where I can say: "I knew it, dear, that you don't like this cheesy commercialised day and I don't have to buy you flowers. Or anything else. You already know I love you.".

Because the last thing I have on my straight and strange men's mind is to go shop for a little present. Sign of my love for her.

February 13th, a nightmare

Odd chances, but yes. We, men, think about the (very) near future. On February 13th we know it. She could be the only one among her friends to not receive that little sign of attention.

She will not say anything. No complaints, but silence. That silence we all know what it means. A month or at least a week of nothing of what we (yes, we do, sorry) want.

Damn. What to do? We go and buy something really stupid. You know we did it in the last moments - social media is full of pictures of the same Valentine gift from supermarket. Nothing special.

Minority report

There is a chance your man is outside this box here and already has a plan for the Valentine. Most probably you've been together less than 4 years or he is just pure romantic that writes incredible stories. Lucky you.

How do you get something else from us?

It is really fairly easy, as many other things with us, men. Just prepare an alarm. The simplest alarm possible. That's how we men work. Let's imagine some simple forms:

"Dear, Valentine's day is next month."

There isn't anything else you have to add. Just say and leave us with that thought. Really, no explanations required.

I know you would like to add something, but don't. You can expect some direct questions: "What would you like?". It is far from romantic question, but it is just helping us comprehend that there is something we should think about beyond football (cars, sports, toys or other amusing stuff).

"There is an amazing offer from [ * ] for Valentine's day."

A rather complex statement that I would recommend only when the first statement seemed to be completely overheard. Or you really want that special thing.

Make your Valentine's day special moment

No matter the outcome I should propose 2 further tips. First, your special code for additional Valentin'e discount on MyBea products is MYBEAVALENTINE.

Second, even if he forgets about it, you can still win a special moment. Buy something nice for drink and a rose.

Put it on the table in the kitchen (remove all else from the table) and wait for him. That's all you need actually.

Just take it easy. Make sure the digital devices are far enough and you have time.

Because that is all we men need to become who we were. What we are. What you love.

And magic moment will arrive.
