I was listening to a radio commercial today and it was for a jewelry store trying to pressure men into buying an expensive "Diamond" or face the wrath of their spoiled princess or even worse the wrath of your spoiled princess after she talks to the other ladies at the office (or wherever she works) and finds out what they got for "V-Day". That commercial bothered me, but I wasn't quite sure why, but then it dawned on me that the commercial was trying to make Valentine's Day into another deadline that men have to fear. Isn't Valentine's Day supposed to be about love not fear. I thought Valentine's day was supposed to be equally fun for both the boys and the girls. I want my boyfriend to give me something because he wants to, not because he is forced to. I would rather receive a homemade card from someone that I really love than the fanciest diamond ring from some guy I don't really love. But hey don't listen to me. I'm just an old fashioned girl. Maybe the jewelry store is right. Maybe all women care about is having the fanciest ring or necklace out of all her snobby friends.
Oh, and another thing about Valentines Day is that everyone seems to go out to a fancy restaurant on the same night. It always seems like Friday night is always busier than Saturday night. Friday night dinner dates are always so stressful. It seems something always causes a delay for either me or my date and I find myself speeding to get home, so I will have time to get ready. I have to admit it is nice to get all dressed up and go out to eat some nice food, but I would rather go on a night that is not so packed. I know making reservations is the way to go, but even then you sometimes still have to wait for your table. Whether you've got a boyfriend that cooks you a home-cooked meal or he takes you to the fanciest restaurant in town, I hope it goes well for both of you.

What's more important, the gift or the boyfriend? Well, that all depends on the gift. Just kidding.
