The Rules of Dating: Romance, Chivalry, and Love.

Valentine's Day is around the corner. Some of us have someone; some of us don't. Whether you're in a relationship or not; whether you have a Valentine's or not, there are questions that we all need to ask ourselves when it comes to the game of Love.  

How many of us know how to display love and affection to our partner? How many of us are romantic or believe in romance? How many of us practice chivalry? How many of us expect or want chivalry from our partner? Is chivalry something of the past? 

How many of us know what a date is? Is a date sitting at home watching Netflix? Is a date having a cup of coffee at Starbucks? Is a date dinner at a five-star restaurant? Is a date a walk in the park or on a pier? Is a date at a drive-through movie?

The way you expect to be treated is based on how you perceive your self-worth. The way your partner treats you is based on how that person values you. If you value your self, you will not settle for less. If your partner valued you, the effort to shower you with the best would be there.

Valentine's Day shouldn't be the only day when you receive flowers, a card, candy, or chocolate. Valentine's Day shouldn't be the only day when you go out for dinner, or see a movie. Valentine's Day shouldn't be the only day when you feel special. 

These things should be done frequently in a relationship.
