Valentine’s Day is supposed to be the most romantic day of the year. Some people hate this day of cards and candy while others love it. Personally, I don’t think you should really show a person you “love” him or her with flowers and chocolate on only one day of the year. I think those things should be done more often. However, girls tend to make it a big thing when they are in a relationship to have their significant other ask them to be their Valentine. The other person might feel pressured then because they may wonder, when is the right time to do it? 

Some people like a bigger gesture, maybe a sign or taking the person out to dinner to ask. Others are more subtle, slipping a note into popcorn so when she reaches in, she sees the note. Maybe even a simple “Will you be my Valentine?” will do,  however a lot of men tend to mess up the moment and ruin it. They ask too late or they don’t ask at all. Even if you hate Valentine’s Day or claim to, if you are in a relationship, deep down you know you want to be asked because it is simply just nice. 

A girl will never accept a Valentine if she has to ask you, “Why didn’t you ask me yet?” I believe that the male or other person who is doing the asking needs time to think and -plan out how they personally think you would like it best. Therefore, about a week before the actual day, you should ask. 

Girls also shouldn’t be getting their hopes up so early and just expect it. Men don’t always know what’s going on inside your head. Also, why didn’t you ask him? Maybe he wants to be asked for once. It’s a double standard for the traditional man to always do the asking. Maybe it should be switched up and the girl should see what it’s like to have the pressure to ask about it for a change.
