Flowers + Chocolates + Prezzies = Lots of Love
i believe the above equation works miracles on V-day. that is especially so for girls, i'd say. girls feel loved and overwhelming sweetness when we receive the love items from the special one. guys are on the other hand, practical. their foremost concern, how much money do i need to spend in order to make her feel special? that sets the disparity between men and women.

sat down wondering such matters especially after a conversation with my girl bestie. she's terribly disappointed that her bf isn't doing much for her on their first V-day. to a girl, the equation below feels demoralising and superbly upsetting:
No Flowers + No prezzies + No restaurant bookings = No Love

im beginning to understand the agonising pain that guys have to go through when V-day comes along. the more we girls insist on feeling loved on V-day, the more these guys panick. what do most couples end up doing every year? movies. dinner. flowers. chocolates. it's consumerism. it's using materialistic ways to win a girl's heart.

why should love be expressed in materialistic ways? why can't it be as simple as staring into each other's eyes? why should you feel un-loved when you are spending a special day with your special one? furthermore, if he's the special one, you don't need a special day to express your love for each other.

tomorrow's the day. i hope everyone finds love in the most special way. cherish.
