No. It just meant that you (and she) had more to brag about to friends. In fact, in 2022 men are predicted to spend almost twice as much as women, on average, for Valentine’s Day, $235 vs $119. That’s not a coincidence.
Ultimately, I don’t want Valentine’s Day to end and frankly, I couldn’t end it if I tried. For many people, Valentine’s Day may be one of the few times their partner goes out of their way to show their affection. I don’t want to change that for anyone. What I want is for people to take a step back and realize what expectations they have about Valentine’s Day and is their enjoyment of the day and impression of their partner impacted by what happened, or didn’t happen, on Valentine’s Day? And if they didn’t get what they wanted, will it impact the other 364 days of the year?
