Free Advice for men on buying Valentine's Day cards for their significant others.
Guys, you know there's a lot riding on this. Chances are you're reading this article because you've gotten it wrong once before.
So here are a few things you should know about choosing a Valentine's Day card that will keep you out of the doghouse and in your beloved's good graces.
1 - By all means, do get a card.
No matter what, get her a card!
I don't care if you bought her a lifetime supply of Godiva chocolate, you still need a card.
If the gift you bought her comes with a cute heart-shaped card of its own that is part of the packaging, you need a card.
If you're not exactly sure of your relationship status, get her a card (just choose one on the lighthearted end of the spectrum).
Women care about cards.
The majority of card purchasers are women.
This means that they spend a lot of time looking at cards, they know the kinds of cards that are out there, and they like cards.
So consequently if you want to impress her, you're going to need to do the same-look at a lot of cards, know the quality of cards out there, and choose a winner!
The only exception to this rule is if your partner has expressly stated to you, "Please do not buy me a Valentine's Day card this year."
Then and only then are you excluded from this golden rule.
This year.
2 - Don't get a card that is about some aspect of your partner that you wish were different.
In other words, if you really wish that your girlfriend were into snow sports and she's not, do not buy a Valentine's Day card that has even one snowflake on it.
You also don't want to choose a card that could touch upon any problem areas of the relationship.
Say, for example, you've been wanting intimate relations more frequently than she-it's probably best then to stay away from cards that are full of innuendo.
Finally, avoid areas of potential insecurity-if your partner just went on a diet, don't get a Valentine's Day card full of hoochie coochie dancers.
You get the idea...
