For all those men who went down on their knees yesterday, and dreamt of a lovely future together, here's a little heads up on what women really want. We ladies, are satisfied souls and don't ask for more than the BASIC necessities, so you don't really have to worry much; just take a quick peek.
A Decent Looking Husband
A Not-So-Expensive Wedding Ring
A Simple Wedding
A Sweet Honeymoon
A Nice Car (for shopping)
A Small House
A Hardworking Husband
Lovely Children
Some Make-up
A Few Bags
Some Shoes
Some Dresses
A Few Gifts Once In A While
A Small Trip (not more than 4 times a year)
And Finally, Some Basic Securities...
See what I meant? ;) Okay on a serious note, none of this is true... what women truly want is a loving and caring partner who is honest, listens (not just hear) to her, makes her feel special (not always by tangible things) and accepts & respects her family and friends along with her! So the guys can now release the breath they have been holding all along, and go tell their girls how special they are!
Imagine waking
up this Valentine’s Day and seeing your boyfriend holding a gift wrapped in
gold. Wouldn't you engulf him in a crushing hug even before opening the
present? But I don’t think it would be a wise idea this year, especially if you
are someone who panics at the sight of anything crawly, with antennae and
multiple legs. If you are scrunching your nose already, do not read the rest.
You wouldn’t
believe it when I say that one of the gifts this year could be a hand painted
chocolate cockroach, and it doesn’t stop there. The Bronx Zoo in New York is offering
people to name one of their 58,000 hissing Madagascar Cockroaches after their
beloved. While I personally am disgusted at the sight of roaches, I find the
idea of a cockroach with my name roaming around the Zoo… umm well, macabre?
(Putting it diplomatically)
And now for
those, whose partners would be disgusted at the mere mention of roaches, here
are a few adorable Valentine’s Day ideas. (While not all, most of them are
mine!)
Make 365 chits with small personal messages for her to read
every night before sleeping, until the next Valentine’s Day
Make little notes saying nothing except ‘SHMILY’ and keep
passing it on to her every now and then. Let her get curious about its
meaning and at night, after a romantic dinner, give her a card reading
‘See How Much I Love You’ (SHMILY)!
If you are fortunate enough to have a private lawn or are near
the beach, you can set a dinner table for two with scented candles on a
sheet of rose petals and serve her favourite cuisine cooked by you. Some
romantic music would obviously add to the ambience
Make an interesting documentary with cuddly photos and videos,
narrating your love story. If possible, write it on a CD along with her
favourite movie that you could watch together. The documentary could be
played in the middle or after the movie as a surprise
Organise a Treasure or Scavenger hunt with clues and gifts
across the house. The gifts must be something she had always longed for
Do make this
Valentine’s Day special for that someone, be it with roaches, romantic ideas or
by simply spending quality time together. In the end, it’s the feelings that
count!
Hope you'll have a LOVE-ly day of love lovelies! :)
