Whether you count down the days to Valentine’s Day, or wish St. Valentine never commemorated a day named after him, it’s coming up pretty soon. Soon enough – if not already – everywhere you look you’ll be bombarded by shades of red and pink, heart shaped chocolates will be on sale everywhere you go, and restaurants around the globe are already enticing you to a night with roses, champagne and Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You’ blasting from speakers in every corner. Expectations are high and every move needs to be strategically calculated, and let’s be honest: if your Valentine’s plans go down the drain, it’s probably him to blame. But have no fear, we have a solution to Valentine’s Day blunders. We’ve curated the perfect list of things your significant other shouldn’t do on this very special day. An easy to follow guideline for those who really need the help. Here is a list of everything to avoid this Valentine’s Day.
don’t buy cheap chocolate
We get it, there are a lot of chocolate options in stores right now. That doesn’t mean, however, that you should ever buy your significant other cheap chocolate – even if it’s in bulk. You’re Godiva: don’t settle for a Kinder.
don’t regift
No matter how great the gift set your mother got from her friend is, it is not appropriate to regift it to that special someone. Especially if it was initially bought for another woman – trust us, she will know.
don’t break up the day before
Why wait until February 13th to break up? There’s a good twenty-six days in the month to do that. Never the day before or of.
don’t call your ex to check how her valentine’s is going
If you’re that curious about what your ex is up to this Valentine’s Day, maybe she should be your Valentine?
do not propose on valentine’s Day
Proposing on Valentine’s Day is the cliché of clichés, please do not commemorate that special occasion to have it forever intertwined with Valentine’s Day.
do not schedule a double-date
An awkward double date this Valentine’s Day? Abla Sofy told Grazia that’s one of the must-avoid things to do on Valentine’s Day. If you can’t bare the thought of spending the day with one person, stay single.
do not ask what she wants for valentine’s day
She probably won’t tell you if you have to ask anyways, and she’ll be expecting you to know exactly what’s on her wish-list. Why don’t you save yourself the trouble and just pick something from our Grazia Hot List?
do not leave all the planning to her
If you’re going to leave all the planning to her, are you really taking her out this Valentine’s Day?
do not buy a gift card of any sort
Buying your significant other a gift card is the equivalent of giving out a coupon. Don’t do it.
do not say no to watching a rom-com
View this post on Instagram
It’s Valentine’s Day, she’s not going to want to watch your favourite sports team.
do not talk about what you did with your ex for valentine’s day
No one wants to hear bittersweet tales about you and your ex. We repeat: if you’re so worried about her, rethink who your Valentine should be.
do not forget it’s valentine’s day
We left the most self-explanatory, but absolutely most-necessary piece of advice for last. An absolute no-brainer, but please do not forget Valentine’s Day.
