Why Do We Need One Day To Show Our Love?

Valentine's day is right around the corner and if you're like me *one of the least romantic women in the world* -  do you even celebrate? My views are probably on the opposite end of the spectrum to most women, but this is just my opinion- read it with a grain of salt and don't judge me.

Flowers (that die, does this mean your love will?), jewelry (too expensive and can be lost, trust me), cards (what a waste but greeting card companies thrive), romantic dinners (once again, overpriced) and let's not forget the chocolate and candy (do NOT buy this for me, I can't eat it)... so what do you buy someone like me? Nothing. Not one damn thing.

I've never understood why woman put so much stock in this over-commercialized selfish holiday. Guys have it bad when this so-called holiday approaches. Buy her expensive gifts, show her how much you love her... and on and on. So my question is, why can't you show the love, passion and thoughtfulness every day. Why do you need one day to do this? And why do you need to take out a loan to show your love?

Seriously... every day your love should be known, given and shared. To specifically pick one day seems fake, self-centered and pointless- at least to this un-romantic woman.

So what do I want on this National Romance Holiday (and every day, if to be honest) and none of it costs a dime.

  • Just spend time with me.
  • Make me laugh- I love humor and sarcasm.
  • Talk to me about daily life.
  • Smile across the room at me when I'm down.
  • Whisper in my ear that you love me.
  • Tell me the dinner I just cooked was the best you've ever had.
  • Offer to do my errands (I hate leaving my home).
  • Send me a sweet, unexpected text saying you're "thinking of me".
  • Support me and my career.
See? So simple... I've always said it's the little things that me happiest in life.

  3. Oh my goodness! I have to agree with you here. So much emphasis is put on showing your lover, husband or wife, boy or girlfriend how much you love them on Valentines Day and in reality why can't you show them this love everyday. I have seen some women pout, cry and scream because their husband didn't buy them anything and that is so selfish and sad. Don't take for granted anything in life. Great post.

  4. Finally! Other women that gets my point of view. if you can't show signs of love all year long, why bother to "fake it" because it's expected? My husband used to bring me home a candy bar from work, because he knew it was my favorite kind! He grabbed one whenever they restocked the candy box at work. That little old candy bar meant more to me the the most expensive bunch of flowers once a year!

  7. I definitely agree that love should be shared and expressed every day, not just on one "special" day of the year.
