My Valentines Day Plans

Last year, I made the mistake of taking my girlfriend out to a fancy restaurant on Valentines Day. The meal was great, but the price was completely inflated. For the same price, we could have gone out to restaurants both on the 13th and the 15th. The restaurant was completely packed too, so we were seated embarrassingly close to a couple obviously having an awkward first date. It was a nice night, of course, but there are definitely better ways to handle things.

This year, I'm planning on eating in with my girlfriend. A simple candlelit dinner at home with flowers on the table will be much more romantic than a busy restaurant. Or I might simply order some flowers to be sent to her office. We can go out any night of the week, so this Valentines day I think it'll be a lot more romantic to stay low-key.

These Vampires Should've Just Called 1800flowers

In every vampire-human love story, the problem inevitably comes up over whether the human should become a vampire or not. In "Bram Stoker's Dracula", directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the human decides that she will become a vampire so that she can live forever in love with Dracula. On the other hand, in Twilight the vampire, Edward, decides that he cannot turn Bella into a vampire because he loves her too much. In both movies, there are a lot of arguments, bad omens and drama over whether the human should become a vampire or not.

But it seems to me that all these dilemmas could be averted if they'd just call 1800flowers! Seriously though, isn't romance better when it's lighter and wouldn't it have just been simpler for Edward to buy a Twilight Flowers Poster Bundle for Bella and then call it a day? This is even more the case since MSNBC recently cited 1800flowers for the transparency of their pricing and their fair hiring policies. Who doesn't love that? I think this is a much simpler way to express love than biting somebody's neck!

Buying Valentines Day Flowers For My Girlfriend

It's funny how some trends change so quickly and some other things stay the same through the years. In New York City, I'm constantly surrounded by people wearing outfits that I know they'll be embarrassed by in five years time.

On the other hand, when I was considering what kind of present to buy for my girlfriend on Valentines Day, the answer was as obvious as it is classic - flowers and chocolate! Flowers, although a typical present on that day, will definitely create a great impression. If I send her a dozen Roses and then meet her for dinner with a box of chocolates I know she'll be happy. It's such a relief too, because I had no idea at all what to buy her for Christmas and ended up getting her a gift she didn't even like that much!
