Valentine's day is just weeks away, and ladies are already in panic mode. Some men will lie to avoid spending time with the women they have been leading for months. Here are some of the lies to expect:
Those who say that valentines day is just a day like any other: these type will want to convince you that there is nothing special about the specific date and that they love you every day, so there is no point in making a fuss about a day that someone made up for a different reason.
They will say it is a made-up holiday with nothing to do with love. This theory is true to some extent because the creation of valentines day was to honour early Christian martyrs in Rome, but the day has evolved into a day where lovers show each other love. It has become a tradition, and he should be able to treat you to something special it doesn't matter if the day is made up or not.
Some men will fake a sickness: yes, some men out there will fake being sick on that day to avoid spending time with you. They always pretend something severe and may even get a friend who is a doctor to write a sick note for them so that their lie holds weight. They might also fake illness because they don't want to spend the day specifically with you and will use the time to take someone else out. These men will opt to take their new lady or even the main one, and you might be the side chick.
Fake brokenness: some men are planning on faking being broke to avoid spending on you valentines with you. They will give you so many excuses on why it is not a good idea to spend that much money just for a day or dinner. Others will start questioning your financial decisions and criticizing you for wanting to be treated nicely on that day.
Work excuse: there are those men planning on using work as an excuse for why they cannot design something nice for both of you. Valentine's day falls on a weekday, but that is no excuse for him not to send you flowers or plan a nice dinner that you can enjoy after work. Some might even opt to stay in late and work overtime to avoid spending time with you and will villanize you if you complain about them working too much.
They will ghost you: yes, some men are serial ghosters when celebrating special moments. These are the type that will go radio silent on you either on valentines day or a few days before and then pop up several days later with a lame excuse that they expect you to believe. Some of these excuses can be that they lost their phone or needed some time off to take care of their mental health.
It is important to note that if he is not willing to spend memorable holidays with you, then he is not the one, and it is time to move on.
