Valentine’s Day with here with us again. Strangely, this is the time of the year when some men will break up with their girlfriends because they don’t bother to buy gifts, they don’t like their women or they’re just plain unromantic.

There are, however, some good guys who are genuinely not keen on the whole idea of Valentine’s Day.

Most men often question the logic behind dedicating a single day in a calendar year to show affection to the women in their lives. It’s a sound argument in all fairness, especially if you’re the type of guy who puts a great deal of effort into your relationship.

It’s also easy for a man to be uninterested with February 14 because some women will downplay their expectations on the day to avoid disappointments. She may say something like “Valentine’s Day is not a big deal to me.”

However, if you really care about her, you need to appreciate the significance of the day, moreso it’s importance to most women.

Being in a good relationship is like being a professional sports player. You have to constantly play in tournaments for a number of reasons.

FIRST DATE

For a second, recall asking your girl out on a date for the first time. You probably didn’t have the courage to call her, so you sent her a text or an email and then anxiously waited for a response.

When she replied, your reaction wasn’t exactly frightening. So, perhaps you’re not as fearless as you think you are. In other words, you definitely have it in you to do something romantic.

We can all agree that men like to be challenged because it’s healthy for our egos. So why not adopt that mindset when it comes to Valentine’s Day? You should give it your best shot to make it an unforgettable day.

This calls for creativity, which of course requires sacrifice. But it’s definitely worth it when after a day filled with surprises, laughter and nostalgia, you get to draw closer, put your arms around her and kiss her lips.

To the ladies, you have to understand that if you want to make the day memorable, you need to make him feel special too. Valentine’s Day is hard work, but people don’t usually appreciate things that come easy.
