He did it so you won’t think to! Fed staff found a man who has become single by February 15th every single year for the past 6 years. We asked him the question on everyone’s mind, how do you do it? Here is the advice he had to offer:
- Take her to the nicest restaurant you’ve ever been. Point out the details in the decor that really speak to your tastes, maybe the light fixtures or that one table you sat at with your ex. Introduce her to your favorite items on the menu—make sure you warn her about the fish that your ex got last time that tasted kinda funny. Places with history have the most conversation potential!
- Take her ice skating at Bryant Park Winter Village –– the most original idea ever. When you find out it’s $45 a person and they don’t take Apple Pay, ask her to spot you! This will give her the chance to truly be 50/50 in the relationship! Feminist win!
- Take her to the MET’s Date Night. Observe the art and her while you walk around the museum halls and exhibits. Tell her how far you had to book it in advance, a lesson you learned last year when you tried to do a walk-in and they turned you and your ex away—god she was a bitch about that one!
- Buy her her favorite lilies because the flower shop was out of sunflowers, roses, peonies, tulips, and carnations. Don’t arrange them or get a bouquet, just get one!
- Instead of buying chocolate-covered strawberries, make something straight from the heart (and your pantry). Spread a super super, like nano-thin layer of peanut butter on some almonds and rice crackers as a healthy snack. What’s a better showcase of attentiveness than recognizing how those PB calories can sneak up on you!
- Bake a cake and add a few scoops of your favorite protein powder, Fruity Cereal Mix. Explain to her that we don’t need to get fat over this holiday, and it basically tastes the same! Plus, this is something you guys could do together, like going to the gym ever since you suggested it. #Bonding.
