Veteran's Day and an Etiquette Question
2004-02-12 - 10:11 p.m.
Valentines Day is for the birds
Well, I'm jumping on the Valentine's Day bandwagon.
I'm sick of seeing the "if you love your girlfriend/wife, you'll spend obscene amounts of money to prove to her (and everyone else) how much you love her. Forget your husband, boyfriend, it's all about YOU.
Well, it's not. Is there a problem with TELLING the person you love them and showing it in small ways.
I don't have an engagement ring, and someday I'd love to have a diamond ring someday, but that's not the point. My love shows me he loves me by doing little things for me, like rubbing my back when it hurts, bringing me something to drink, or just telling me loves me.
That's worth more to me than an expensive present. And it makes it worse when you can't afford to give the expensive gifts. The ads try to guilt you into spending more than you can afford so you can show other folks how you feel. That makes no sense to me.
Why isn't how you feel a matter between the two people involved. Who else needs to know how you feel? Why do you need a rock big enough for a wheel barrow to show your love. Why do you need to drown your loved one in silk boxers and perfume.
Why not a letter from the heart, to the one you love. Why not show the one you love how much they mean to you? It doesn't cost anything monetarily speaking, but it certainly does good things for both people involved.
Please don't forget to answer my survey... it's research for a small business idea... all comments appreciated, no reasonable offer refused!!! It won't take five minutes, I PROMISE!
