Women’s expectations:
A day of romance!  Hearts, flowers, cards, kisses – we’ve been conditioned
to think of this as a day to get swept away in love.  We look forward to
this day, and plan for it well in advance.  We enjoy the corniness of
getting those hugging teddy bears, and giving the boxers with the hearts on
them.  We want to be surprised, and feel adored.  We want to be able to
share our Valentine’s stories with our girlfriends.  We know men can be
klutzy sometimes when it comes to romance, but we expect them to at least
make the effort. Men’s expectations:
Men dread this holiday!  They have so much pressure on them to be the knight
in shining armor, and they fear they can’t live up to it.  For men,
Valentine’s Day is really just another day, they don’t get the “big deal”
that it is to women and they wish that it would just go away.  They’re
afraid of letting us down, and yet they really don’t know what to do because
we expect so much.  They resent that this is a holiday where they really
have to do something or they’ll be in the dog house.  Men don’t care much if
they get gifts or not, but if it’s a day they get sex, then they’re happy!
