The Hunt
Finding the perfect Valentine is all about the amount of effort you are willing to put into the search. Wander campus and keep those eagle eyes open, sister. Interested in engineers? Check out the SITE Tim Horton’s and casually drink your coffee there, for hours. The longer you wait the more potential mates you may see. Has the perfect specimen already caught your eye? Does said specimen play on a varsity team? If so, you’re in luck. Rosters are every dedicated girls dream. All you need is a jersey number and the personal information of your future lover is at your fingertips.
Mobilizing
Now that you have carefully selected your 2014 Valentine, it’s time to make their dreams come true. Finding your valentine on all forms of social media is crucial for getting to know them better. Social Media is also a great way to introduce you into their life without being too forward. Simply ‘like’ everything they post; showing interest is cute!
Eliminating the Competition
There is no simpler way to put this. You have chosen your Valentine, therefore they are yours. Why don’t other girls get that? Just make sure that before you do this…
That you make sure the situation isn’t this…
Starting the Conversation
Time to put your thorough creeping to use! After casually scanning the crowd at the event they RSVP’d to on Facebook, sidle up to your cutie. What’s up or a simple introduction won’t do, in order to snag your Valentine, bring up one of their interests! For example, comment on how you noticed you two had mutual friends on Facebook, or that you couldn’t help but notice they take their coffee double-double, just like you! (even if you don’t, but shh).
Take note of some stellar examples:
Sealing the Deal
I guarantee that you’re on their radar now, how could they possibly forget you?! It’s time to seal the deal and make them your official Valentine for 2014 and beyond! This calls for an outlandish, romantic gesture. It’s simply so unexpected that they won’t be able to help falling for you!
Do you share a lecture with your Valentine? Oh boy, are they in for a treat! Get inspiration from the infamous John Tucker Must Die and shower them with flowers! It’ll be even better if you can get your friends delivering them to sing a ballad at the same time.
Go above and beyond by presenting them with a homemade Valentines covered in photos of you two lovebirds. A little photo shop may be required, but the effort is well worth it.
I promise, the look on their face will be priceless.
