If you are thinking about getting flowers, or chocolate and having the same old blissful nights of passionate sex on valentine’s day, please don’t.
The countdown to the day of love is still more intense. Even the meme lords are not sparing us as they strive to make the singletons feel lousy for not having a partner on hand. Valentine’s is coming, so where is your boyfriend, Jenny?
Even then, those couples who have each other to pamper follow the same traditions every single year. The usual card, flowers, and all that. How nice it would be to spice things up and avoid the old contemporary stuff, but while we are at it, here are things you should at least try to avoid this time around:

- Buy roses
Maybe you didn’t know but there are so many different types of flowers. So, if you want to get flowers, for Pete’s sake, could you be a little more creative?
- Making each other vows
It is probably romantic for most, but heck, it takes a wild one to pull such assurances on a day as delicate as valentine’s. You would rather just go out, and buy each other dinner and a good cheesy book. That sure sounds like true love.
- Proposing
Please, do not be swayed by the love-in-the-air vibe. It will make you think you guys are ready, so you get down on one knee and pop the question only for you to be rejected. On freaking valentine’s day. Save yourself the trouble and enjoy the day as you should. If you care to propose, at least keep it private then, so that when she says no, it will not be such a big deal.
- Easing up on the protection
Look here darling, valentine’s day is known to make people fumble. Don’t throw sense out the window just because you want to show love. If you will go old school and decide to stay in for some good adult cuddling, unless you are ready for kids, strap up. (Sex on valentine’s is overrated anyway)

- No Netflix and chill
We promised to let these uncouth habits slide in 2022. If you get at least one official day to be all mushy with each other, do not spend it indoors. Go out and be wild lovebirds. Leave Netflix and chill to the single kids.
- Don’t pretend to be happy
No one is pointing a gun to your head. So, all that faking about how you are having the time of your life is unnecessary. If you are not feeling it, don’t force it. Leave forcing issues for those horrendous family dinners in shaggz.
