Simple and sweet: Ways to woo your boo
But Valentine's Day is about showing those you love -- friends and family, as well as girlfriends and boyfriends -- that you care about them.
Valentine’s Day can sometimes take on an ugly feeling, like in elementary school when trading valentines could easily become a popularity contest decided by who got the most and who received none. The stereotype of adult relationships is that husbands always forget to buy flowers, and wives end up feeling unappreciated. But Valentine’s Day is about showing those you love — friends and family, as well as girlfriends and boyfriends — that you care about them. It isn’t about buying stuff, or who gets the most valentines.
Reporter Teddy Woodward put together this short, but sweet, list of things to do with your love that simply show him or her that you care, and enjoy his or her company, which is the best valentine of all.
