Valentine’s Day. Single Awareness Day (S.A.D.). Whatever you call it, you cannot escape it.
Pink, red and white suddenly become every girl’s new favorite color. Teddy bears, flowers, chocolates and little blue boxes holding their supposed “best friend” consume the woman’s every thought.
Are you seeing a trend here?
Candle lit dinners, cute romantic comedies and little limericks to show his affection. Elaborate dates, expensive gifts and the simple hope for a goodnight kiss.
How about now? No? Let me help you out. How many of the things listed above apply to men? Other than the fact that they are the ones breaking their backs to attempt to please their girl by being sweet to her? This seems to constantly be the trend with Valentine’s Day. Girls expect their men to spoil them rotten and typically do nothing in return other than a nice homemade card he’ll naturally forget about or throw away. Why is this the trend?
I suppose I can’t exactly single this attitude out to only applying on Valentine’s Day. Every single day of the year men are taken advantage of. Women can at times be spoiled, obnoxious, selfish brats. And I’ll admit, I definitely have my moments of taking the gold for each of those categories. And the ever growing number of Hollywood romance movies filling our minds with this stigma isn’t helping matters much.
So why not change things? Why not take your guy out go-kart racing every once in awhile? Why not surprise him with a date YOU planned for HIM? Out of 10 different guys I talked to they all agreed that they would really appreciated it if their girlfriends did something special for them.
So there you have it. Short. Simple. To the point.
Make your guy feel special— he deserves it.

I planned a date for Eric today! I took him on a picnic! lol I admit it though, I fall into the whole spoiled girl stage once in awhile.
It is true girls do expect their boyfriends to spoil them rotten. But i do agree the boys should have their moments of getting spoiled. It would definitely lift a weight of their shoulders.
I'm the only guy in this class- I love it! I know when my girlfriend does something special for me I feel like the king of the world. Why does society tell us that if the man receives a gift, it's selfish or unmanly? Frustrating...
I totally get what you're saying... girls should do things for the guys sometimes... its fun.
I definitely agree with you and though I'm not a girlfriend yet (ha, ha), I'm gonna be a good one who doesn't expect the boy to do everything. I was talking to my friend and she didn't get her boyfriend anything for Valentine's Day. I was shocked! Lol. Guys need some lovin' too!
