How to (NOT) celebrate Valentine’s Day?

Lucky for all of us suckers, Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year, which means Friday night is going to be one big pink, cheesy orgy. This year, I keep getting asked the same question from you guys over and over again. So, in the interest of time (and my sanity), let me answer it in a post.
QUESTION:
“I just started dating a girl and we’re not serious yet. I don’t think it’s appropriate to make a grand gesture for Valentine’s Day. Is it OK if I just not celebrate it with her?”
ALTERNATIVE QUESTION:
“I’ve been seeing this girl I really like. She anti-Valentine’s Day and already told me she doesn’t like all the cheesy gestures. Should I just take her word for it and not celebrate it with her?”
ANSWER:
It doesn’t matter what scenario you’re in, if you are seeing someone and you happen to LIKE this person, YES you should do something for Valentine’s Day. Here’s the reason why: It really doesn’t matter what she tells you about her feelings toward the “holiday,” if you like her, wouldn’t you want to do something nice for her? Think of Valentine’s Day as just another opportunity to show her that you like her. Even if she’s verbally against everything V-day stands for, no girl will ever turn down a nice gesture. In other words, it can’t give you negative points.
MY ADVICE:
1) If you just started seeing someone new, make a smaller, but meaningful, gesture. Do something or tailor something to her interests. And to make it more casual, go for an activity-based date, such as a hike or a trip to the zoo. TIP: It doesn’t always have to be dinner, chocolate and flowers.
2) If you are dating a girl who doesn’t like the cheesiness factor of Valentine’s Day, then do something non-traditional! Maybe something stems from an inside joke, or go out and make fun of the cheesiness that’s happening. TIP: JUST DO SOMETHING. Every girl still wants to be recognized that day, whether she wants to admit to it or not.
And for those of you who are single for V-day, consider getting some heart candies for all of your female co-workers (the way we used do it in school). The better “in” you have with the females around you, the better the chance they’ll set you up with their very eligible single friends.

Dear Readers,
As we approach the end of 2012 (and apparently the end of the world), it is time to do my one cheesy post of the year. Here’s the thing: this year has been very interesting for me because I have been challenged about the notion of love, The One, and marriage. For anyone who knows me, I don’t believe marriage is for everyone. I don’t believe in love at first sight. And I certainly don’t believe in loving one person for eternity. I’m not a romantic. I’m an Aquarius. Maybe sometimes I see things a little too…realistically.
However, even with this mindset, stripping romance down to its skeleton, I do believe in one thing: there is someone for everyone. The universe is fair like that. We, as humans, are meant to be among other humans. We’re not meant to be single, forever.
Pairing off is arguably the end goal of dating, but many of you have wondered why it hasn’t happened for you. Here’s why: you’re looking for the wrong things. In fact, I believe 90% of singles are all in the same boat.
It’s not your fault because it’s how this dating culture is structured. The problem is, how we date is based on what we know. In other words, how we date is based on things that haven’t worked out for us in the past (otherwise, we wouldn’t still be dating, right?). So if you think about it, how we date should be a constantly evolving activity that opens up to things we don’t know. Hey, can’t knock it ’til you try it.
One of the questions that annoys me is “what’s your type?” This question is based on what you’ve experienced in the past, so basically types that haven’t worked out. Of course you’re going to answer this based on attributes you’ve been attracted to in the past, which has now apparently become “your type.” Newsflash: that’s not “your type.” Actually, you have no type, because your type will be that person who you’ll want to spend the rest of your life with. And you haven’t met her yet.
“OK Miss Singlefied, how do we know what we’re looking for then?”
A client told me the other day that his type is “quirky and social.” Then proceeded to tell me his “quirky and social” ex-girlfriend dumped him because he didn’t want to go out as much as she did. You see the problem here? But then I asked him, why were you attracted to this “quirky and social” girl? He responded with, “she kept me on my toes.” BINGO. See, what he’s looking for in a girl is not necessarily “quirky and social” but rather “someone who…keeps him on his toes.”
So here’s the lightbulb moment. What you should be looking for is not who she is, but rather how she makes you feel. Let’s do a practice example translating your old list to the new and improved list:
I am looking for someone….
1) Sexy –> “someone who intensifies my sex drive”
2) Active –> “someone who inspires me to get off the couch”
3) Caring –> “someone who makes me feel cared for”
4) Smart –> “someone who stimulates my intellect”
5) Feminine –> “someone who makes me feel more masculine”
6) Hot –> “someone who makes me feel proud to be around”
(*NOTE: I understand there are many more physical attributes you all have on your list, but the 5’7″ brunette bombshell with a nice ass and light green eyes may make you feel absolutely nothing, other than some temporal penile reaction. So I’m asking you to keep an open mind when it comes to specific physical traits.)
By shifting your list of attributes to a list of feelings, it gives you concrete things that make you happy while giving leeway to whom this person may be and what she may look like. And also, this is a list unique to YOU, because only you know when you feel these feelings. So, if a friend sets you up with someone that you’re not interested in, you don’t have to give a jackass explanation like “she was too short.” All you have to say is, “I didn’t feel it.”
With that said, thank you all for making me feel inspired, challenged, and stimulated.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!
Sincerely,
Miss Singlefied
