10 Things You Shouldn’t Do On Valentine’s Day

For all the hopeless romantics across the continents, Valentine’s Day is very important and is very much celebrate and up there with Christmas and New Year. There is so much hype and expectations around it, which is why a lot of things can go wrong and it can quickly turn from being one of your favorite days to one the worst days of your life.

Here are things you should never do or forget to do if you celebrate this special day for love.

1. Don’t forget it
If you know you and your partner celebrate valentines and your partner always gets excited about it, the worst thing you can do is forget. If you know you are not good with dates, set a reminder, it’s important for your partner to know that you care and if you forget they will never allow you to forget it.

2. Don’t Assume
It’s important to understand your partner’s views on valentines to avoid disappointment. Different things are important to different people, them not being into celebrating valentines has nothing to do with how they feel about you. Talk about it and come to some agreement if it’s that important to you.

3. Don’t over-analyze his gift
Whatever you get, understand it as it is, don’t be that person who goes on Google to find out what a certain kind of gift say about your relationship. Stop the paranoia and don’t show that you did not appreciate his gift.

4. Don’t go empty handed
If your partner doesn’t believe in getting each other gifts, it doesn’t mean you can relax. You might be surprised to know he is expecting a gift from you. Also this is a day when you celebrate each other so it’s about him only giving you but exchanging.

5. Don’t be late
If time keeping is not one of your strongest points, plan your day ahead and do everything earlier. The least romantic thing you can do is be late to your valentine’s celebration.

6. Don’t bring anyone
It doesn’t matter how close you are with your friend, leave them at home. You might think you are being nice because they are single but remember this is not best friend day, it’s about you and your partner, so just in case you were thinking about it be careful that at the end of the night you might be both single.

7. Don’t Compete
In relationships competing can be cute, but on this day you don’t want to take it too far to the point you hurt your partner’s feelings. Whether it’s gifts or games try to be sensitive and be less competitive on this day, allow them to win once in a while.

8. Don’t pick a fight
No matter what differences you have at the moment, try putting them aside and being nice and not bringing all the stuff that’s been bothering you during your valentine’s dinner. Avoid sensitive or touchy subjects if it’s a strong relationship you have all the other days to talk about it.

9. Keep it simple
Whilst going all out is nice, try keeping it sweet and simple. In trying to manage a thousand things at the same time you might end up screwing everything. A small mistake might ruin every plan you had when it becomes overwhelming.

10. Don’t go on a blind date
Dating can be nerve wrecking and a lot of work especially when in the beginning; things can get awkward very quickly. Going on a blind date on valentines can add unnecessary pressure which can be disappointing.
