Most couples take indulgence to the extreme on Valentine's Day. We indulge our sweet tooth on sugary treats; we pamper our partners by showing our love and we generally tend to be egocentric and hope for a lot. Below are several luxuries that a few gay men said they like most on Valentine's Day:
10. Breakfast in bed
If you can both manage to wake up just fifteen or twenty minutes earlier than usual, stay in your pajamas, get on your aprons and help cook one another breakfast. It's fun and affectionate and your Ma will be pleased that you're leaving for work on a full stomach.
9. Chocolates
These can be really bad for the waistline, but like I said: Valentine's Day is for spoiling yourself and your partner. Pick a really yummy Swiss (or German) brand, relax on the sofa and feed them to each other.
8. A Pilates DVD
Most couples don't buy each other presents (outside of roses, cards, etc.) on Valentine's Day, but if you're feeling guilty about number nine, a Pilates work-out DVD could be in order.
7. A phone call
If you can manage it, try to squeeze five minutes into your busy schedule for a quick phone call on this special day to tell your honey that you love him.
6. A love letter
If the condemned Saint Valentine (to whom this annual occasion refers) could write to his lover despite the pressure of awaiting his execution, I'm sure you can spare a few adoring words. You don't need to be Casanova; just tell him why it is you are so crazy about him.
5. Roses
You can't go wrong with flowers on any occasion, especially roses. Rose colors have different meanings. Traditionally, red is symbolic of love. But get creative; yellow with red tips means falling love while red and white (when given together) signify unity. Seek advice from your local florist before selecting a bouquet.
4. A Card
If you find it too hard to write your feelings in a letter (slacker!), buy him a nice card. Spray a light mist of your cologne on the card to personalize it or write "Your Secret Admirer" to keep it light and fun.
3. A candlelit dinner
This is the single most important aspect of Valentine's Day. If you are going out, make your reservations early, choose a quiet and idealistic atmosphere; surprise him. If you are cooking for him at home, choose candles, soft music and prepare his favorite dish — even if you aren't a chef extraordinaire, it's the thought that counts most.
2. Charm
Linked very closely with the above eight desires is charm. Be dashing and flirtatious, every man has charm hiding somewhere. Flash him that gorgeous smile that he originally fell in love with.
1. Somebody special
Finally, the most important thing on Valentine's Day is somebody special to spend it with. This is the number one wish of all single gay men. If you're reading this article and it's your wish also, try not to get too jaded on this wonderful day. Your man is out there; you just have to find each other.
