Keeping A Log Of Quotes For Use On Valentines Day
Your sweetie looks deep into your eyes over a candle lit dinner and says I can see the blue of the ocean and the depths of your soul reflected in your dazzling blue eyes., and you reply... nothing. Nada, zip, your minds a completely blank, nuclear wasteland when it comes to romance.
Romance does not come easily to some of us, we choke on sappy phrases and freeze up at the thought of expressing emotion deeper than discomfort from last nights chili. So whats a romantically challenged person to do?
How about keeping a log of quotes to use on Valentines Day? Thats right, do some homework and steal the great lines from television and magazines all year long. Your next years date for Valentines Day will be dazzled by your charm, bowled over by your wit and intoxicated by your use of Valentines Day quotes that you stole from others.
Isnt That Deceitful?
Well, its all in how you look at it. You give Valentines Day cards filled with quotes and sappy sayings written by some unknown Joe chained to his desk at Hallmark for the month of February right? Basically, stealing Valentines Day quotes is the same concept, just smarter.
The important thing is to hide the evidence of your collection from the public. Dont write down quotes in plain sight and for Petes sake; keep your notebook hidden! Think of yourself as the Sherlock Homes of romance, youre just doing research to find out what makes great Valentines Day quotes work.
Learn to spot a good quote from a bad one. Be careful to observe what affect the quote has on the opposite sex. When in doubt, you can always try them out on your mom or sister if she can be trusted. In other words, if you showed up at her wedding in nothing but fruit of the looms, yeah, shes still mad, dont go there.
Be sure to memorize your material well. Nothing is worse than a botched romantic phrase during an intimate moment. But, if it does happen, dont despair, just play up the humor card and laugh right along.
Timing Is Everything
Learn to time your phrases just right. Space them out so that you dont sound like a daytime soap opera or a well worn clich. Remember to pay attention to your surroundings and keep up with the conversation. Tuning out can mean sudden death for an ill-placed romantic saying. |
