    Does He Have to Ask You to Be His Valentine?

    Every year around Valentine’s Day, there is an influx of Valentine’s proposes on social media. One partner asks the other partner, “Will you be my Valentine? But there’s always that group of men who don’t ask their girl to be his Valentine. Then the question arises…if we’re together, why do I have to ask you to be my Valentine? Let’s talk about it!

    Most women LOVE Valentine’s Day and thought of someone asking “Will you be my Valentine?” just bring flutters to the heart.

    The Significance Behind “Be My Valentine”

    Asking someone to be your Valentine is a romantic gesture showing your willingness to go the extra mile. If your partner would like that, it’s great to show that you will do anything to make them smile and see them happy. Again, it depends on the person because not every person is alike.

    Whether you are in the beginning stages or have spent many years together, a little romance is never too much. It’s more than just a gesture, it shows how important the person is in your life.

    A proprosal is not always required!

    As stated previously, it depends on the person. That means that if this is something you want or don’t necessarily care for, it MUST be communicated. Now, some men are more knowledgeable than others when it comes to romance and automatically know how they should treat a woman. Most guys would prefer if you communicated the things you want and do not want, that way its easier for them to make you happy. If it is something you want, then you should tell him that so you don’t unintentionally become disappointed.

    Now, if you’re anything like me, a Valentine’s proposal is not required…but don’t get me wrong! If it happened it would be very much appreciated.

    Inclusion, it all depends on your partner and proper communication is the key. It is not something you have to do or don’t do based on what social media or society tells you, but soley based on what your partner wants because at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters.

  • Why Women Love Valentine’s Day

    Why Women Love Valentine’s Day

    If you’re a man reading this, then you’re probably trying to figure out why in the world women love Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is the one time a year when romance is always certain to happen. Especially for men that aren’t the most romantic throughout the year. Unfortunately for some women, the reality is that it might be one of the few days she actually gets romanced.

    If you know women, then you know we thrive off of romance more than almost anything. That’s how most women are wired or brought up to believe. For some women, the significance of Valentine’s Day may be rooted in societal expectations, cultural traditions, or personal experiences.

    Even single women will get together with their friends and celebrate, renaming it Galentine’s Day. If we don’t have a partner, we will still go out of our way to make each other feel special. That’s how much some women love Valentine’s Day.

    It’s almost every woman’s dream to be with a man who knows how to be romantic. Now, not all women care about Valentine’s Day as much as others, as everyone has their perspectives and priorities. However, in most cultures, it is celebrated to represent love and relationships.

    Valentine’s Day can make or break a relationship

    According to Psychology Today, Valentine’s Day, or the months of February and March are when couples break up the most. Past researchers found that partners in romantic relationships already in a weakened state were almost five times more likely to break up within the two weeks surrounding Valentine’s Day than they were during any other weeks of the year. Yes, it’s true! Valentine’s Day has the power to either strengthen or weaken relationships.

    Valentine’s Day can also strengthen relationships. Especially relationships going through a hard time. Regardless of what you may be going through, it is a way to express your love and gratitude. Acts of kindness, thoughtful gestures, and meaningful expressions of love can enhance the emotional connection in the relationship. V-day is the day to create positive memories and rekindle the romance with the effort alone.

    Women sometimes use Valentine’s Day to determine where they stand in your life and might also use it to determine how much they mean to you. It is the day when people express affection for their partners through romantic gestures like gift-giving, cards, and romantic activities.

    Being with someone and not receiving anything for Valentine’s Day or no acknowledgement can feel like a huge slap in the face. Even if you don’t care for the day, going out of your way to make your person feel special is what love encompasses. Again, everyone has their preferences and not everyone places Valentine’s Day on the high importance list. But if your partner is someone who appreciates romance and values V-day, then even something as simple as a hand written letter expressing your most most inner feelings for them would mean the world.

    Ultimately, embracing the spirit of Valentine’s Day allows us to cherish and strengthen the bonds that make every relationship unique and special. Communication and understanding between partners play a big role in figuring out expectations and ensuring that both individuals feel valued and loved in the relationship.
