If you'r...You know I have to play devil's advocate. If you're in a new relationship, Valentine's day is a real emotional minefield. Some of these guys might really be commitment-phobes but some might just be trying to avoid giving the wrong impression. <BR/><BR/>And some men are just clueless of course. <BR/><BR/>A while back, my single BIL had been dating a woman that he wasn't remarkable serious about for a few months - but by all he'd told me about her, she was definitely pushing for more. What does he do? He buys her a diamond pendant and gives it to her on Valentine's day - against my advice. What else is she supposed to think if he gives her a diamond on the big day?? She thought what I expected she would and then he was all *surprised* when she practically started setting the date. Needless to say things got messy and went downhill in a hurry.<BR/><BR/>I say spare yourself the agony and buy your own Valentine. You'll never be disappointed and you'll always get what you want. My hubby bought me chocs and I bought myself shoes :)Jenyfer Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769550148821002722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-18428718770598246052008-02-16T09:56:00.000-06:002008-02-16T09:56:00.000-06:00Thanks, Rhonda!
