Valentine's Day is a wonderful opportunity to organize a holiday in the name of love: to prepare a gift for your other half, organize a romantic dinner and write a beautiful speech with confessions … But the practice shows that not everyone is enthusiastic and not everyone is enthusiastic about February 14. So the option that your guy will forget to buy a gift or even consciously forget on Valentine's Day is very possible. What to do if this happens??
Discuss everything in advance
Not to get upset on Valentine's Day, it's worth making sure that the guy knows about your desires in advance. As the great wisdom of women says – men do not take a hint. And that's the truth. Half of all conflicts in a relationship could be avoided if girls were not shy to talk about their desires to his face. So just tell him that you would like to make February 14 a special day. He probably would be only "for" to make you happy. However, if your chosen one is in no mood to celebrate Valentine's Day, you should not force him and put pressure on him. Try to understand why he has such a mood. And be sure to read the article below, it will help you change your boyfriend's mind.

- The guy does not want to celebrate February 14: how to change his mind
Don't make a scene
Okay, let's say you failed to talk, and here – February 14 you are sitting without a valentine and sad, flipping through your Instagram feed, which is teeming with confessions and gifts. We understand that the absence of any attention on Valentine's Day can be very frustrating. But you shouldn't make a scene and cry and break up with a guy. ♪ Yelling won't help but make the guy think you're a bitchy, hysterical bitch ♪.
It is better to honestly and calmly tell your partner about your feelings. Admit that a little surprise or a sign of attention would make you happier.
Do not look at others
Another factor that can greatly affect your desire for a gift is trivial jealousy and dependence on what others may think. Honestly answer yourself: do you want to celebrate Valentine's Day because you think it's an important holiday for any couple or because your girlfriend's boyfriend got her a really cool gift?
Don't make a big deal out of it
Accept that the gift isn't the most important thing. You do not have to wait for Valentine's Day to make a person feel good. Don't focus on the fact that your boyfriend didn't get you anything: many guys may perceive such resentment as a mercenary side of your behavior.
Get your own gift
Surprise your partner with a gift, even if he gave you nothing. Believe me, such a gesture will melt the heart of even the most hardened skeptic. Perhaps it's the kind of sign of attention that will change the way he feels about this holiday. Besides, sometimes it's better to give than to receive.
Figure out the reasons why he may not have given you a gift
It's not a good idea to swear and try to change your boyfriend's mind, because he might have a good reason for not giving you something romantic.
He does not have a lot of money
Situations are different, and getting in touch with your loved one is important. You may not know some of the problems he is trying to deal with right now. Maybe the guy is ashamed to ask his parents for money, or maybe he has problems at work. Don't be quick to strike a pose. Think about what's more important to you – a gift or just attention.
You didn't say it was important to you
As we have learned, guys do not take hints. So if you want to get something on February 14th – tell him directly. In this case, the slight impudence does not hurt.
Wait till tonight
Do not arrange a showdown in the morning, maybe your favorite prepared you something great for the evening. Even if he has forgotten about the holiday, he may have time to make up for it in the evening.
He is not good at remembering dates of important events
In this case, you should not get upset. Just mark him February 14 in every possible calendar. Start reminding him a couple of weeks in advance, or better yet, put a reminder on his phone. A bad memory doesn't mean you got a bad guy.
In any case, even if your Valentine's Day is not good, do not get upset! There's still Peter and Fevronia Day ahead 😉
