Online Dating Coach and Dating Expert – More Romance to Tips Survive & Thrive Valentine’s Day
With all the media approaching me this week as a Online Dating Coach and Dating Expert, I’m continuing my series this week in support of dating singles and committed couples – both of the significant others ilk and married folks on Romance Tips to survive and thrive through Valentine’s Day. Yeah and without breaking the bank!
Because if you are like me, you didn’t receive a $17,000.00 stimulus check from the US Government to bail out your auto industry business or to buy your house at an overinflated price in 2009. Then again our grandchildren won’t be stuck footing the bill 100 years from now for what we do presently.
So, what I’m saying is, your purchasing Valentine’s Day presents this year, you’re on your own.
Me too.
I’ll be footing my own bill.
So today I want to cover the topic of CHOCOLATES.
Giving Chocolates is in the formal socially acceptable gifts which a single man may give to a single woman. I’m talking formal manners, Emily Post etc. So some women, because of the long-standing tradition of men giving chocolates to esteem a lady fair, still receive the present as an accolades. Her Dad may have given them to her mom, so even though she doesn’t want the calories, in her heart of hearts, she is still tenderly touched by the gift.
So, let me help you out here.
5 lbs boxes of Nut & Chews from See’s were a GREAT business gift at Christmas time, but not at Valentine’s Day.
Most modern women are not yearning for chocolate.
We are all on diets like Atkins, The Southbeach Diet and The Mediterranean Diet. Yes, are aiming for low refined carbs and quality protein diets.
However, so what that means is, we would never go purchase chocolate ourselves.
We might even not directly want you to purchase them for us.
However, we will still enjoy the guilty pleasure of receiving them.
So, purchase the See’s small Valentine’s Day heart box. Alternatively you can give her a Russell Stover SMALL boxes of chocolates.
That way, there is The Gesture. You’re playing the old-fashioned note – tender, a modern day era gentleman , interested in HER. She still gets the chocolate which she still really enjoys. Without 3/4 of the calorie guilt.
Again, it is Wednesday going on Thursday.
GO NOW.
Go to See’s and do this on your lunch hour.
Go to Walgreen’s or Wal*Mart to purchase the Russell Stover’s boxes.
The point is, do NOT wait until the last minute. Or it WILL all be picked over. Worse even still, they might be completely out of everything if you wait until the last minute.
Me? I love the Nuts and Chews, milk chocolate, almonds thingies with caramel.
And Pink Roses.
In case you were wondering what to give me!
Happy Dating and Relationships,
April Braswell

I know what you mean. I like chocolates, but I am not that crazy about them, is receiving a nice box of chocolates that makes me happy! and share them with family and friends, os course!
If you were in Spain, I would take to to really, really nice chocolate shops! There is even a chocolate museum in barcelona with great things! Just come and we’ll visit it! and try some of your tips at their coffee shop!
