It’s Valentines Day. The weakest holiday of the year. It’s a trap holiday. Your lady may pretend that it doesn’t matter or that she doesn’t care…but don’t call her bluff. It’s really not worth it.
Rather than showing up with a box of rock hard chocolates from the Kroger down the street or roses from the gas station, you could always give her two tickets to a concert…which you will then attend with her…that way you both win.
Ladies, don’t think this holiday is all about you. This is a two way street. Why not show up at your man’s house with a bottle of Couvoissier, wearing nothing but a trench coat? And perhaps in the pockets of said trenchcoat you could have tickets to a concert.
See where I’m going here, people? Good.
