Is valentines day an important day for couples ?

There is always this thought inside me, wondering is valentines day really the day, which i(as a guy) should treat my girlfriend like a princess. Seeing many young couples in town holding flowers, soft toys, gifts, is really a sight that one can only see once a year.
To me, valentines day is a day for show only. people bringing out their girlfriend out in super flashy clothing. i mean what's the point, a girl should be treated nicely every other day

Valentine’s day, a day when all love birds celebrates their romantic relationship. One can see girls carrying soft toys, flowers, presents etc. that is also the day when boys “show off” their girlfriends to the rest (somewhat like a trophy). I didn’t take much effort into these tools of showing off because I believe one should love n treat a girl with respect not only on Valentine’s Day. What made me ponder on the “love” word was actually when I heard a retro song being played days after Valentine’s Day. The song is titled what is love by Haddaway, a song usually played in clubs during retro night (last time I heard it being played in a club was in sparks)

That’s when I thought about the Knapps model of relationship (mid terms on that topic)

10 stages of Knapps model of relationship

Experimenting

Intensifying

Integrating

Bonding

Differentiating

Circumscribing

Stagnating

Avoiding

Termination

It’s it memorable to think about how we started off to get to know the girl, how we develop our relationship with the girl – going out for a date, movies, simple outings like shopping (typical excuse of “I need to buy a shoe” etc). For example, we can take about the intensifying process whereby the boy or girl adopts. One might start off shy just to get to chat with the “girl of his dreams” then steps taken to approach her. Starting off with a cautious and safe approach towards the girl, hoping for the girl feels comfortable with interacting with him. This will prevent the girl from having negative perception of the guy getting to have a hidden agenda instead of just making friends.

These can either make one smile or cry when they recall those wonderful, memorable incidents between the two.

Personally, I view love as something special that one must appreciate the other. I’m not talking about puppy love, playboy love blah blah blah. I talking about the love that will get one into a marriage. Both parties must really understand one another, knowing when to stop rubbing in when they suffer miscommunication. Not to bring up past issues, the boyfriends’ past or vice versa as these are the little things that might cause one to reach the limits (not everyone likes to be reminded of their past). One must trust in order for mutual understanding, for example, when you see your girlfriend going out with a RANDOM guy, first impression would be the “what is that person trying to do? Seduce my girlfriend?” these are the first thoughts that strike a person usually. One should clam himself down and think from the girlfriends’ perspective. Because there are incidents that the RANDOM guy might be his cousin, old schools mate? One can always talk about this incident when both are together, in a nice tone of course. To me, what is yours will remain yours what doesn’t will go one day, it’s just a matter of time. For all those injured lovebirds, you could try using my method of looking at love.
