 Guide To The Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift
Find the perfect gift for your significant other based on how long you’ve dated! Valentine’s Day can be a tricky holiday... how do you know what is an appropriate gift for your significant other? If you’ve only been dating a couple weeks, you don’t necessarily want to give your man something that suggests you’re already planning the wedding. And if you’ve been dating a couple years, you certainly can’t expect a box of chocolates from the gas station around the corner to be sufficient (that goes for both men and women gift givers!). Don’t stress! Sheryl Kurland, a relationship expert who has been featured on The Dr. Laura Show, Sally Jessy Raphael's show, Leeza Gibbons' show and many more, gives DivaVillage.com readers a guide to the perfect gift for your significant other – based on how long you’ve dated. So you no longer have to stress over having another unhappy Valentine’s Days. (Hint: You may want to email this page to your man as well!)

The question remains, should you, or shouldn’t you give him a gift to display how you feel? Sheryl says, do not give the guy a gift because it will create an awkward situation and it may back-fire by pushing him away, whether or not he’s interested. A better approach would be to ask him out to lunch or invite him to meet you for a drink after work. At that outing, you can steer the conversation to let the guy know you’d really enjoy going out with him sometime. It’s a less direct approach and still gets the message across! Don’t fret if you’re single this Valentine’s Day, you’re certainly no less of a woman – click here to feel better about being single! **********VALENTINE'S DAY**********
