Online Dating Coach and Dating Expert - More Romance to Tips Survive & Thrive Valentine's Day 2009
With all the media approaching me this week as a Online Dating Coach and Dating Expert, I'm continuing my series this week in support of dating singles and committed couples - both of the significant others ilk and married folks on Romance Tips to survive and thrive through Valentine's Day 2009. Yeah and without breaking the bank!
Because if you are like me, you didn't receive a $17,000.00 stimulus check from the US Government to bail out your auto industry business or to buy your house at an overinflated price.
So, what I'm saying is, your purchasing Valentine's Day presents this year, you're on your own.
Me too.
I'll be footing my own bill.
So today I want to cover the topic of CHOCOLATES.
Giving Chocolates is in the formal socially acceptable gifts which a single man may give to a single woman. I'm talking formal manners, Emily Post etc. So some women, because of the long-standing tradition of men giving chocolates to esteem a lady fair, still receive the present as an accolades. Her Dad may have given them to her mom, so even though she doesn't want the calories, in her heart of hearts, she is still tenderly touched by the gift.
So, let me help you out here.
5 lbs boxes of Nut & Chews from See's were a GREAT business gift at Christmas time, but not at Valentine's Day.
Most modern women are not yearning for chocolate.
We are all on diets like Atkins and Southbeach Diet.
However, so what that means is, we would never go purchase chocolate ourselves.
We might even not directly want you to purchase them for us.
However, we will still enjoy the guilty pleasure of receiving them.
So, purchase the See's small Valentine's Day heart box. or Russell Stover SMALL boxes of chocolates.
That way, there is the gesture. You're playing the old-fashioned note - tender, a gentleman (if what you just wanted was NSA, skip this and just give her a box of rainbow condoms and pray she feels the same way you do), interested in HER. she still gets the chocolate which she still really enjoys. Without 3/4 of the calorie guilt.
Again, it is Wednesday going on Thursday.
GO NOW.
Go to See's and do this on your lunch hour.
Go to Walgreen's or Wal*Mart to purchase the Russell Stover's boxes.
The point is, do NOT wait until the last minute. Or it WILL all be picked over.
Me? I love the Nuts and Chews, milk chocolate, almonds thingies with caramel.
And Pink Roses.
In case you were wondering what to give me!
All the best and Happy Dating!

Now that Valentine's Day has come and gone, this is just my opinion.
I do not see all the hype about Valentine's Day. Too often, it's an entitlement day because most women complain about how their man isn't doing anything for them or does not do enough for them. I think it is pure greed on the female part. I don't see many females doing nice things for their man.
Your comment about chocolates is to me, old-fashioned. Based on what I see in London, Ontario Canada, many single women could USE a diet (not South Beach or Atkins because these diets are unhealthy).
I did something for myself, I bought a pair of dress slacks. I celebrated myself. For those women who are single in their mid-30s, here is some advice. I hear too often that there is "no good men left" there are except some woman unrealistic expectations of 6'2 makes 150K+ buns of steel types...makes these women bitter on Valentine's Day because they are alone...too bad. There are good men out there but because of the unrealistic expectations some women have.
The men who do that often go on to marriage!
Happy Dating and Relationships,
