Happy
day of love to you all,
As a
student, cash flow is always an issue, so today I'm going to give you
Some ideas for romantic gestures that don't break the bank.
Number
one. Draw a picture of them.
Number
two. A love note;
Never
under estimate the power of a simple love note or letter, Why not
write something really mushy then hide it some place they will find
it, In her bag, or in the case of the game he is playing right now,
The surprise will only add to the romance.
Number
three. Romance walks,
I'd
check the weather before this one, but why not just go for a romantic
walk, hold hands and just talk to each other, if you have some water
nearby that makes for a good place to walk, Bonus Points if you do it
while the stars are out
Number
four. Update your picture in a romantic way, maybe cast them as the
queen/king of hearts,
Number
five. Music talks.
Mix
tapes may have gone out of fashion, but we live in a time when its
easier than ever. Go on your computer and make a CD of all the song
they love, or songs that make you think of them. you could even get
yourself a cheep USB flash drive, and give them a mp3 mix tape.
Number
six. Bring the cinema to you.
This
ones easy, Get hold of a film they love, or a film you know has the
right vibe. grab all the blankets and pillows off the bed, and
snuggle up together on the sofa.
Number
seven. Remember how much she loves steam punk and update your picture
again.
Number
eight. Confess your love in a blog post.
This
might prove a bit difficult, if you don't have a blog, but making one
is easier than ever so make the effort. Why not follow my lead and
confess your love to a fellow blogger, then you never know, you might
just get a blog post confessing their love right back. Then you could
say something like...
TuesdayShanice, you are my best friend, my greatest companion and the best
person I have ever known, and I love you with all my heart.
Number
nine. Try to win a competition, and take them on holiday.
If you look around you might be able to find a
competition where the prize is a holiday to some romantic place,
maybe you could find one to your valentines favourite island
Tenerife, maybe if you look hard enough you might find conveniently
(and not at all planned this way) that your blog post confessing your
love for the other person is in fact already an entry into said
competition.
In that case, cross your fingers and hope you win.
Number
Ten. Put some effort in.
A
hand made gift means more than anything you buy at the shops. get
some modelling clay, get out the paints, write them a song... play to
your strengths.
But
the most important thing to remember about Valentines day is let
someone know how you really feel. it makes no difference if it's
someone you have been with for a while, or the girl you like but
can't get up the courage to talk to. Reach out and let them know what
they mean to you.
