The typical sad scenario that plays out every Valentine’s Day is the image of some forlorn woman who has played the game of love and lost and now sits alone with her tears as everyone else gets flowers and candy.
Well, there is another kind of problem that women can encounter on Valentine’s Day. That is, not lacking a male companion, but deciding on what to get said male companion.
Of course, a proud member of the male gender who has been married for 10 years myself, I find this question ridiculously simple to answer. But because I need to milk another 90 words and I have to keep this thing rated PG, I’ll take a little less predictable route.
It is truly a sign of desperation that so many will seek advice from the cold wasteland of the Internet and Google such terms as “valentines day quotes” and “valentines day ecards.” I mean, really, men are such simple animals that it shouldn’t be that hard to figure us out.
So let’s look at some options.
First, there is the fool proof sporting event option. It is pretty hard to go wrong with giving guys tickets to sporting events. First of all, you know that they’ll have fun and women can earn major points by going with them. The one drawback is that you better be prepared to have fun, or at least do a good job of faking it because if you drag down the good times, you’ll end up looking terrible in the guy’s eyes. There’s also the practical problem that basketball is the only major sport going during the middle of February, so this can limit your options.
There’s also the couple’s spa package. One the one hand, this is a no-brainer for the woman. But on the other hand, some guys dig having strange people manhandle them and some are violently opposed to it. Approach this option with some trepidation.
Finally, you can go for a truly unique experience that no other women will think of. For this category I present the exotic car tour. Now, I understand that many women will balk at the idea of day spent driving around (without some stops at Neiman’s or Saks along the way). But consider the words of Dallas luxury car rental agency GM Tom Warren, who states “Many women have come doubting and left completely wowed by how much fun it is to drive a Ferrari, Lamborghini and three other supercars on the open roads of Dallas-Fort Worth.”
Tom Warren manages the day-to-day operations at DFW Drive Your Dream (www.dfwdriveyourdream.com), a company dedicated to providing the ultimate driving experience for car lovers. These tours can last all day or for a half day and both include drive time with five exotic cars.
Plus, keep in mind that these aren’t just mindless loops taken around some track. There are several different tour routes that are specifically designed for maximum driving enjoyment.
Additionally, the full day tour includes lunch and all tours include group and individual photos.
So, if you’re tired of scouring the internet for something better than a box of candy, get out there and enjoy some heart-pounding driving.
