Panther's Tale

Valentine’s Day Hannah Harms Panther’s Valentine’s Day is the special day of the year for love. Though it started out as a day to honor the martyr named Saint Valentine, it is now the day that people spend with the loves of their lives, or their current love. Tale Many guys can get confused on this day due to the saying that, “If you treat your girlfriend as special on Valentine’s Day, you’re doing something wrong every other day of the year”, or “Every day should be Valentine’s Februry 2012 Day.” I advise you to NOT listen to this, just because it may make you look as though you did something wrong; the man with the present always wins. If you aren’t at the gift giving stage in your relationship yet, try taking your girlfriend out to a nice dinner and a cute movie. When I say this, I mean Olive Garden and the hot new chick flick, The Vow, not McDonald’s and Transformers. Also be extra loving towards your partner on this day, to show them that you don’t have any other person you would want to spend the day of love with than them, and don’t ever let your girlfriend pay for a Valentine’s Day meal or movie - you’re asking for a break up by doing that. If you chose to spend the day with your friends or family some activities that you can always do is make Valentine’s Day cards for your friends. You can buy some at your local store with characters on them, or you can go the extra mile and make your own. Also, if your sending out Valentines, you should probably put candy in them; no one wants a Go Panthers!Valentine with no candy inside it.
