Valentines Day Q&A
/
Say it With... |
|
Valentine’s
Day is not
just about
hugs and
kisses for
your
romantic
loved one,
but also a
time to
exchange
caring
messages
with
friends,
becoming a
day for
singles to
celebrate as
well. The
mere mention
of
Valentine’s
Day conjures
up thoughts
of red
roses,
red-bowed
boxes of
chocolates
and maybe
even a card
signed with
XOXO. This
day,
traditionally
associated
with Cupid,
the god of
romance and
love, is not
only for
sweethearts
but also for
anyone to
share their
appreciation
of their
loved ones.
LATINA
Style
asked
readers to
express
their
thoughts on
this
chocolate-fueled
day.

A stand up
show,
laughter
makes you
lose
inhibitions
and feel
more
comfortable
around
others.
True, the
show might
not be
everyone's
cup of tea,
but it's
better than
a dinner
with bad or
-even worse-
no
conversation.

The perfect
Valentine’s
date would
be one that
is romantic
but fun.
Like not
just sit in
front of a
television
and watching
“The
Notebook”.
Maybe go
away for the
weekend to
the Poconos.
We can shack
up in a nice
cozy cabin
with a
fireplace.
Eat dinner,
and then
drink
Spanish wine
in front of
an open
flame.

What You
Consider

Aaaaaaaaaaa
Romance!!! I
am such a
helpless
romantic.
Romantic is
being
thoughtful
in all sense
of the word.
Romantic is
to take out
the time to
create a
card instead
of buying a
Hallmark
card and to
know the
likes of
that person
and enhance
them with
little
details, to
be anywhere
with that
special
someone and
live that
very moment
like a
movie. See
that moment
as if
everyone
present is
an extra and
the main
characters
are you and
that special
someone.
Romantic is
to look into
that special
someone’s
eyes and
without
saying a
word pouring
your
love/like/care
to them
visually. I
guarantee
you that the
sparkle
transmitted
through the
eyes never
lie.
