What I am saying is that we are competing against each other, trying to compare our love with different women.
I look at it like kids on the playground that are saying "My dad can beat up your dad..." --- "I love my girlfriend/wife more than you love yours..."
How can you compare emotions? Society has set us up to consume more things, and I take offence when I am judged by my consumption habits.
My love != (insert consumable here)
People look at me funny when they ask the question "What did you get her for Valentine's Day?" and my response "Nothing, but I am going to get her something for March 8th."
Here is what I want you to do, jusolson00:
Take a paper bag. Brown paper.
Take some construction paper (different colours) and cut out little (or big) heart shapes. Write down something you like/love/get aroused by about your girlfriend.
Whenever you think about her, put a little heart in the bag. Make it a tinfoil heart. When she makes you smile, put a little pink heart in. When she does something nice for you, put a blue heart in.
You get where I am going with this, don't you? MAKE IT A SURPRISE. Don't let her find out. Keep it a secret. Give her the bag on the 14th of February. Tell her what you have been doing for the past three weeks. Let her see that you are not just buying a card off the rack.
How much does it cost? It costs time, energy, and thoughtfullness. Everything that makes a relationship work.
Wow, am I ever feeling sappy today.
