Quick tips to flip your partner’s heart

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
It’s Valentine’s Day.
So whatcha gonna do?

Yes… it’s that time of the year when the whole planet is on a love buzz. And if you ever enter a mall this time around, it’s hard to disregard the blinding red-wrapped bouquets or heart-shaped chocolate boxes. No offence but a bit too mushy for my liking.

It’s not enough that love itself is complicated—with all the serotonin, oxytocin and the likes of it doing funny things to you. But a day dedicated to it! Oh man/woman… This is when you need to be extra careful.

We decided to hop onto the V-Day bandwagon and dole out some expert advice of our own. So if you are the kind who likes to give surprises to your partner, here are 5 spontaneous romantic blunders that you need to avoid.
Blooming allergies

The one time of the year when the flower industry grosses max. It’s tempting to get a bouquet of roses on this day, but make sure your partner is not allergic. Else right after you splurge on those blooms, you may end up splurging on antihistamines as well.

Geek-out a bit

For those thinking about getting something along these lines, read up on the geek speak. Xbox or PlayStation might sound like just names to you, but for the serious gamer, they are po-ooo-les apart. And this applies to most gadgets. Since you have a few more hours, it’s worth investing some time to snoop on your partner’s preference before shelling out months of savings on something that won’t really succeed on bowling them over.

…and one ring to bind them

This one is chiefly for the guys. We all know that girls love accessories (yes, yes, we know we are stereotyping). And being your constantly confused self (been there), you might subconsciously get a ring as a gift (done that)—thinking it’s a cute and easy buy. Well guess what brother?! To most, this is an official proposal, so be sure you mean it, because the ‘duh’ face can’t save you later.

Take it all the way

A candle light dinner, an unforgettable gift, a long drive… imagine you had it going well so far. And when it’s time for a movie, you pull out your favorite flick—a DVD of The Conjuring. Why not… after all, it’s all going well so far! BUZZZZ! Wrong buddy. End your day with a movie that your partner would like (and if it’s The Conjuring, well lucky you!)

Avoid doing nothing

While there are loads of things you shouldn’t do, there is one thing you must! Do something. Get a box of chocolates, write a mushy poem, sing a lousy song… whether it works or not is irrelevant. At least give it a shot and you will be remembered for trying.

So folks… Keep these micro-tips handy and make sure you make the most of this Valentine’s Day. And while we are wallowing in love, take a sneak-peek on how we are celebrating this Valentine’s Day at Flipkart.
