V-Day
Apparently, people thought that my last post was different from the satirical V-Day posts that I make every year. I suggest that some of you revisit the archives, starting with the first post.
Generally, I give some advice on how not to screw up the day. The easiest thing to get kicked on is dinner plans. Everyone has one of two ideas: cook at home, or dine out. Now, the cook at home thing doesn’t work unless you tie it into the rest of the plan, and won’t generally be perceived as cheap on two specific occasions. The first is if the relationship is relatively new. You couldn’t have made plans anyway, and you might as well not shell out a load of cash. The second is is the relationship is old, you don’t normally cook, and being able to set the menu and time allows other plans to fall into place easily.
On the other end of the spectrum is going out for dinner, something that last minute planning will ultimately fail you during. This is why I have the best idea that I could think of, and you get it just in time…
For next year, that is. Right after New Year’s Day, call that restaurant that you like, and make a reservation for V-Day. Now you’re all set to go. Do this even if you are single. You might end up with a date or something, and the plans will come in handy. If you end up spending evening playing with your Wii, you can just cancel the reservation, opening the slot for some lucky idiot.
Generally, my advice is geared toward men, and that’s because whan women want advice, they call me. Then they sdon’t take the advice, and later I have to hold back an “I told you so,” or 6. In any case, I’m doing the best that I can for you guys. The only way I feel that I could do more would be by dating your girlfriends myself, which is my advice for next year, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Black 6, out.
