February 14 is Valentine's Day. On this day, everyone suddenly starts being a little "too" romantic 😍, discussing gifts 🎁 and planning dates 💑. And, perhaps, it seems to you that women expect only flowers 🌹, chocolate 🍫 and the traditional "I love you" 💖 from you. But let's figure out what is really important to us on this day, and what is just a cliché. 😏✨

Women value attention, not expensive gifts 🎁

Valentine's Day should not become a competition in who will buy a more expensive gift 💎 or arrange a more pretentious date 💫. Yes, it’s nice to receive flowers or a box of chocolates, but it’s much more important that the gift is from the heart 💖 and reflects attention to our personality 👩‍❤️‍👨. It can be something simple but meaningful — a book 📚 that we’ve been wanting to read for a long time, or a note with a declaration of love ✍️ that you wrote yourself. It’s important to us that you really think about us on this day, and not buy another trivial thing, because “that’s how it’s done.” 🌸

Women don’t want to feel obligated to rejoice 🎉

Valentine’s Day is a holiday that has become a bit “mandatory” for many women 🥀. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s important to remember that not every woman craves this holiday like the commercials on TV 📺. Some of us may not be in a relationship or don’t consider February 14th special 🌱. Sometimes it’s important for us to just feel like you’re there 👀, and not feel pressured to impress us — it shouldn’t be a pressure 🥴. Be sensitive to her mood 💭, and don’t just follow traditions. 💫

Sometimes it’s just your interest and time that’s important to us ⏰

Perhaps we don’t need big gestures and unnecessary pomp 🎭. Sometimes it’s enough for you to just spend time with us 🤗, talk 🗣️, support 👏. A simple dinner for two 🍽, a walk in the park 🌳, or an activity you both enjoy 🎨 can be much more valuable than the most expensive restaurants 🍷 and jewelry 💍. We love it when you’re not only physically there, but also emotionally involved in conversations, concerns, and moments 💕.

We value sincerity and honesty 💬

When we say "Valentine's Day is not that big of a deal" 🧐, we don't always mean that you don't have to do anything. But it is important that your actions are sincere 🥰. We don't need ostentatious gestures that may look like obligatory rituals 🎭. It is more important for us when you open up, say what you think 💭, sincerely show your feelings ❤️ - and let it be a simple confession, without unnecessary pathetic words ✨.

Don't be afraid to show your feelings, even if it's not your style 😌

This day is not a reason for a man to feel awkward about expressing his emotions 😬. If you are used to being reserved or it was not customary for you to show feelings 🤐, Valentine's Day is a great time to make an exception ✨. We don’t care how you do it, the main thing is that it comes from the heart 💖. Write us a letter 💌, tell us how important our presence is to you 🫶, hug us 🤗 — don’t be afraid to show your care and attention. 😘

Women don’t want “stereotypical” gifts 🎁

There are many typical gifts prepared for this holiday: flowers 🌷, chocolates 🍬, soft toys 🧸. Yes, such things can be cute 🥰, but often they do not meet our expectations. Give us something original 💡 that reflects our individuality or your shared memories. For example, planning a joint adventure ✈️ or a small surprise party with loved ones and friends 🥳 can be a much more creative and memorable gift. 🎉

Attention is more important than the number of flowers 🌹

This is not about showering us with a huge bouquet of roses, although we certainly don’t mind when you do that 😏. But it’s much more important to think about the gesture that will show your care 💖. Small actions, such as helping with chores 🧑‍🍳, cooking something delicious 🍰 or supporting when needed 👐, can be much more valuable. 💕🫶

Valentine's Day is not only a reason to celebrate 🥳, but also a chance to remind each other how important mutual love and care are 💖. On this day, women do not expect perfect romantic gestures from you ✨, but rather sincerity and attention. So forget about obligatory gifts 🎁 and following stereotypes. The main thing is to be yourself and do it with love 💫💕

Masha😍😍😍
