I think Valentine's day is a "no win" situation for a lot of guys.
I did fine this year because I'm married, it's pretty much clear that what I do should say "I love you, and want to spend the rest of my life with you." That's part of what my marriage means.
But I feel sorry for the guys out there who aren't clear about their relationships, like if you just started dating someone. What's too much to do for Valentine's Day? What's not enough to do?
That's not something many people communicate about in a new relationship. And then what happens? Feelings get hurt, and us guys don't have a clue.
I was in the flower shop yesterday trying to pick out flowers, and I was faced with the dilemna... which flowers do I buy? How many? We're actually trying to watch our spending, so will she get upset if I spend too much on them?
It can get confusing sometimes....
