Valentines Fantasies for Female

Heads up, guys, Valentine’s Day is next week.
Today’s column is for guys only. If you are female, do NOT read any further.
Unless, of course, you want to clip it and stick it under his nose for some not-so- subtle hinting.
“This is how the day would start,” began one lady in a conspiratorial undertone when I approached a table of women about their fantasies.
Already her friends were laughing.
“A whole day; she has a whole day planned!” She is single, but her friends are married women which probably explains a lot. She ignored their teasing and continued with a dreamy look on her face.
“Flowers would arrive in the morning. Then, he would call and tell me to show up at a certain time at a hotel. When I arrive, there would be candles, soft music, and a bath drawn,” she continued.
At this point her friends were hysterically joking about hand cuffs.
“Bubbles. Us in the bathtub together. He would wash my hair because I think that’s really sexy.”
We put our heads in closer over the table as she whispered the rest because we were starting to draw stares from around the restaurant.
“Chocolate-covered strawberries.”
“What about jewelry,” asks one of her practical married friends.
“Oh yeah, jewelry would be good.”
She called the next part of her fantasy “Wild Thing.” It involved cowboy boots, ropes, and spurs.
I was afraid to ask who would wear the spurs.
There are themes in female fantasies that usually include seemingly opposite components; spontaneity AND forethought. In fact, forethought and foreplay might be synonyms, guys. If that seems contradictory, it is because we are women and, well, we don’t think like men. Sorry.
Here are some other thoughts that might make female fantasies more clear. No, on second thought, probably not, but maybe it will inspire you guys.
-Wow! Finish our kitchen!
-Just the fact that he remembered is romantic.
-Bring it home, no eating out, with flowers, candy, and a gleam in his eye.
-Picnics with friends.
-Poetry or letters telling her how much you value her.
-Time together.
-A surprise romantic get away to a bed and breakfast.
-A new wedding ring; a huge one.
-Dinner that he prepares.
-Time without the children.
-Shoes are a great gift because they are easy to fit and girls always like them.
-Jewelry, jewelry, and more jewelry.
So, here’s the big hint guys: Give some thought to an attentive surprise for your sweetheart and your fantasies will probably come true too.
I am thinking the cowboy boots might come in handy.
Next week’s column is about what guys want for Valentines Day and it’s a doozy. Stay tuned.
