You don't bring me flowers.....

The following few lines are almost exclusively for the benefit of our male audience.
Guys¡. if you want some invaluable insight into the female psyche, if you want your relationship to soar not sour, then take note of these words of wisdom borne from years of experience.
No matter how much you think that Valentine¡¯s Day is a waste of time, a commercial ploy, a cheap gimmick for florists and greetings card companies, and even when your other half claims to agree with you wholeheartedly, I promise you that deep down inside she doesn¡¯t mean it. There isn¡¯t a woman on the planet that wouldn¡¯t be delighted, secretly or otherwise, to get a bunch of flowers, a box of chocolates, even a card tomorrow.
Excuses such as ¡°I¡¯m not the romantic type¡± or ¡°I refuse to be manipulated into making some sort of empty gesture just because it¡¯s Valentine¡¯s Day¡± are entirely unacceptable. I agree that you shouldn¡¯t be pressurised into showing someone you care on any one particular day in the year, you should do it every day. But come clean! When exactly was the last time you spontaneously arrived home with a bunch of flowers and it wasn¡¯t a special occasion, or you weren¡¯t feeling guilty about something? See!
Also, continuing with that particularly male logic, if tomorrow really is just another day then what harm can it do if it happens, coincidentally, to be quite a romantic one. Game to me I think!
Look, you don¡¯t have to spend a fortune, you don¡¯t have to go to the ends of the earth, just go out - unprompted - and do something, anything, to show her that you love and appreciate her. Now is that so hard?
PS. And ladies, if all this still fails¡¡statistics show that on Valentine¡¯s Day, 15% of American women send flowers to themselves. Perhaps they realised if you can¡¯t beat ¡®em¡..
