February 14.
It is the ONE day that most men either love or hate, dread or look forward to in an effort to up their dating game. Next to the Super Bowl, NFL Draft and your fantasy football league’s draft day, this is the one day that you as a man—single or married—have circled on your calendar.
If you are single, THIS is the one day that you ghost all of social media. I mean seriously seeing images of your ex and her new bae—boo, bae or mancessory—loving it up on Instagram, Facebook or twitter will literally drive you into a proverbial meltdown.
Ironically, it is EVEN worse when you are in a committed relationship or are married. Why? Do you ask?
Because as Kevin Hart once said in one of his hilarious comedy skit, I’m A Grown Little Man stated, is because you are competing with other couples to show how much you love your partner—or sig—across social media. I call this “peacocking”.
Named after the bird itself, I use it to describe a couple that posts happy pictures of themselves, in a effort to make themselves appear happier—or more in love—than they really are.
And nothing, not one day is peacocking more obnoxious or nauseating than V-Day.
Dating or causally smashing, married or platonic, here are the top three ways to seal the deal on V-Day
Brush Up on Your Nicolas Sparks! If you are a man, you’d most likely think that Nicolas Sparks is some dude from your bro’s bachelor party, who helped set up party favors or such. Unfortunately, your sig thinks he is the second coming of Ernest Hemmingway.
The 52-year-old Omaha,Nebraska-born romance novelist and author of nineteen novels and the man behind rom-com sob fests such as The Notebook, A Walk To Remember, Message In A Bottle, Dear John, The Last Song, The Lucky One and most recently The Longest Ride, if you hope to score on V-Day, be sure to have these flicks queued upon your DVR.
Know Your Lingerie! Guys, repeat after me…lingerie is sexy, lingerie is sexy, LINGERIE. IS. SEXY. If there is one day that it is PERFECTLY acceptable for a red-blood straight heterosexual male to causally wander into the likes of a Victoria’s Secret, peruse the likes of Yandy.com, Adore Me or Frederick’s of Hollywood, it is V-Day.
If you hope to see that hottie you pulled off of Tinder or Instagram in that two-piece black lingerie set,that you’ve been secretly fantasizing seeing her in—and out of—then you’d better secretly have her measurements down playa!
Order Those Roses! Last but certainly not least, aside from putting a IG-worthy, arthritis-inducing rock on her finger, that could be mistaken as either an African blood diamond or the second coming of the Hope Diamond, sending her a bouquet of roses is the best way to her heart—and panties—during V-Day.
Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend,but the perfect set of roses is a notable sidekick.
