The Valentine's Day Dilemma

Bloody hell! It is the season of Valentines.

For some it is the most important day. Then why not it is the day on which their love might blossom.
Wake up guys!. Do you think a gift or a card on a valentines day would instill that love in your sweatheart.

I think for starters it is the most confusing times. Let’s look at it from a guy’s point of view. I assume if you are thinking of Valentines day then there should be somebody in your mind. You don’t know whether she likes you or not but from your point of view she is the one that is made for you. Give me a break,

Anyways you want to propose to her or at the least give her a gift. Now comes the interesting part.

What is an ideal gift for Valentine?

Would you go in for the clichéd, the Greeting Card. You go to an Archies or a Hallmark and look for hours together for that “different” gift. You are not going to get it. You decide that you will come back to the store. You want the card to be given along with some other gift.

Next stop flowers. How original my dear? Your gift of the most beautiful set of roses would be lost among the hordes of others. See flowers nowadays have become the most clichéd of all the Valentine's day Gifts.

What next? You want to buy her an expensive gift. But how expensive. Buy her a Jewellery piece may be. Wait a minute, are you really serious about her. The thing with girls is when you give them gold they would think that you are bloody serious. And that’s a bloody big risk. Serious talk on Valentine’s Day. Naah……You need to think something else.

Now the tension comes in. No ideas coming to your mind. A book, a music CD, Jeans, Video game, Movie or box of chocolates may be. Sadly none of them clicks. A book for Christ sake, what a Harry Potter. She might do a rictusempra on you. Ok what about a music CD. Are you planning to give her your favaurite rock band’s latest collection. Doesn’t work.

See the dilemma. It’s called the great V Day’s dilemma (btw I coined this term). An ideal Valentine day’s gift doesn’t exist at all. It is very difficult to achieve that balance. Expectations of the women folk rise to the brim on this day. Mind you if you go for the clichéd there are chances that she might accept your gift but not your heart. And if you go for the expensive ones, it might mean a big hole in the pocket. Girls want the most original gift on this day. There is no original gift idea left my dear.
Ohh wait a minute. I got it. The most original gift idea is to not to give a gift at all. Mind you its very original. Look at the advantages. It doesn’t make a hole in you pocket or your brain. And she might even like it who knows. You can expect anything from the women folk.

P.S: My valentine is in Canada now. So I guess my idea of not giving any valentine gift might work wonders with me.
