1. They express their feelings

“Whether it’s a hand-written card or simply an email expressing their love, people in happy relationships take the time to let their partner know how much they matter to them,” says Syrtash, “especially on Valentine’s Day.”

2. They communicate

“Having an honest conversation before Valentine’s Day about exchanging gifts and making plans will ensure you know your partners needs.” Says Di Leo, “If you each have an understanding of each other’s expectations for the day beforehand, you’ll be able avoid all kinds of disappointment down the line.”

3. They compromise

“A successful Valentine’s Day means each partner is happy or at least happy with the plan,” says Di Leo. “Some people enjoy a quiet night taking in some food while others enjoy being more social or going out. If you understand your partner’s needs and wants it makes it easier to compromise.

4. They create V-Day traditions together

“Whether it’s a romantic picnic or a shared bottle of wine at home, creating and celebrating a Valentine’s Day ritual with your partner will give you something you can both look forward to; together.

5. They don’t take each other for granted

“Couples who are connected rarely take their relationship, or each other, for granted.” Says Syrtash, “And they often use the holiday as an opportunity to re-affirm their love and appreciation for each other.”

Ugh this is such a fucking buzzkill. Surprise is everything, provided she knows something will go down but you don't talk about it. Too much talk takes all the air out of it..

As for 'understanding of each other’s expectations' .. if you know your gf you'll have an idea about her expectations. Duh

#3 all the way




Yup, both my bf and i had to work late yesterday. He made dinner plans for us saturday night and im going to cook a nice steak dinner tonight. I dont need grand gestures and he isnt into Valentines day at all, but he knows i enjoy a good meal. Plus we're over due for a date night.

I think this whole list is logical and reasonable. Good advice👍
