Valentine’s day is the day of romance to share with your significant other, dosing each other with love and gifts. It’s so romantic yet so… stressful. When it comes to your significant other you usually know everything about them until it’s time to shop for them. Women appreciate the subtle acts of kindness and giving on Valentine’s Day, some beautiful red roses and our favorite perfume usually do the job. When it is time to shop for your boyfriend on V-Day, ladies, what do we buy?
The Situationship
Situationships can be casual yet complicated. You are dating, but you’re not exclusive so there is no commitment. Holidays like Valentine’s Day set the tone for where you all stand in your relationship and how actions will be taken moving forward. So how do you handle it? Should you buy him a gift? The best way to handle this situation is honesty. Discuss where you all are what you want the outcome to be. Because if you’re not in a relationship, you don’t have to be subjected to extravagant gift-giving, rather focusing the day around quality time with each other.
The Committed Boyfriend, Who Replies ‘Anything’ When You Ask
You and your boyfriend have been dating for a while or for a short period of time and things are perfect. You found the one who makes your heart smile instantly. With Valentine’s day approaching, you’re excited to shower him with gifts knowing that he will make the day special. Before the day approaches, you ask him what are some things that you would like on V day and he says… “anything”. What do you do in this situation? Of course, he doesn’t want just anything. Think of a gift that you will know he’ll love! Maybe his favorite game, cologne, or a gift basket full of useful items, snacks, and more.
A Casual Hangout Session With Your Guy Friend… But He Bought You A Gift?
You have a platonic relationship with a guy you’ve been friends with for some time. You hang out often to chat, spill tea, give advice, and watch your favorite movies and shows. Neither of you has plans on V day so you decide to make it a gal/guylentine’s day but… he brings flowers. What do you do? Does this mean he has feelings for you? If you don’t feel the same way this can ruin your friendship and if you do feel the same way, your friendship will still be altered in some form? How do you respond? Should you buy him a gift in return? Yes and no, that’s the beauty of friendship which is doing nice things for each other. You can accept the gift and do something nice in return!
