Do you like me? -- Check "yes" Check "no"

So Thursday is Valentine's Day. A day in which guys across the nation scramble to do something nice for that special young lady in their life. If you need proof, go to the mall or your local CVS or Walgreens on Wednesday evening and notice all the frantic looks on the guys faces as they struggle to get that last minute card for their boo.

To my surprise, many woman are against Valentine's Day Some say that this type of behavior should be shown everyday and not just when the calendar reads "February 14" Others have a man who "acts right" and doesn't want him to go out of his way to spend extra money because she's already happy. Others are just bitter because they are single and they see their co-workers, friends and family going out and they are left at home watching HGTV.

Not that there's anything wrong with not going out, but Valentine's Day is one of those days were you're kind of straddling the fence. It's one of those "this is what you're supposed to do" type of holidays. Meaning that for years, people have done things and for some reason, those traditions have just been passed down over generations. Roses, teddy bears, candy. But if my boo, jump-off, wife or significant other doesn't like/want any of those things, what's a guy to do.

Creativity is a must and it scores big with the ladies. So on Thursday if you don't want to be sleeping on couch Friday, do something nice for your special someone, even if it's a simple "do you like me" check yes, check no note.
