What do women really want for Valentine’s Day?

What do women really want for Valentine's day?

Written by Alison A. Armstrong

°

Well… We want chocolates, mushy greeting cards,

flowers sent to the office, real jewellery

and much anticipated marriage proposals...

° 

Or do we?

° 

I think what women crave more than anything else is

Intimacy...Connection...Closeness...

° 

And I was hoping to find it somewhere in that box

of Valentine’s chocolates. Is it between the caramels

and the nut chews?

°

Maybe the chocolates are

an expression of his Feelings for me.

And if I could break open those feelings,

like I broke open that mocha crème…

In my search for intimacy, I would gaze intently

into my boyfriend’s eyes and ask,

 “How do you feel about me?”

 °

I thought that if I could get him to talk

about his feelings, then I would experience being

close to him. If he would “open up emotionally,”

then we could have those intimate moments

for which I longed. To know him, to connect

with him, I must connect with his emotions.

I must hear about his feelings.

 °

Or so I thought.
