Receiving or giving Valentine’s Day gifts is cute and all, but what if we told you the nature of the gift itself can determine just how serious your relationship actually is? Well, it can. Walk with us.
Flowers
This gives “We’re new in the relationship, so let’s see how it goes” vibes. Flowers can also mean there’s plenty of romance in your relationship, but unfortunately, they’re not a reliable indicator of how serious it might be.
Money bouquet
Money is always a good idea, but why are you stressing the love of your life with the task of unfolding several notes? What happened to just transferring the money or giving them stacks if a cash gift is the goal? The relationship might be serious, but they’re probably not seriously in love with you.
Investments
Your relationship is not just serious; your partner is also concerned about your future. Nothing says true love quite like discussing how to build wealth and secure your financial future. Bonus if it’s a real estate investment that appreciates over time and can be a passive income source like Gazania Park, inside Periwinkle Estate, developed by Blue Square Limited. All that’s needed to start is a 40% initial deposit; you can even pool investments with your partner or friend.
Food
This could go in two ways. Your partner either understands that you value having a full stomach before anything else, or food was the easiest gift option they could think of. Whatever the case, the seriousness of your relationship is in question. They had 364 days to give you food. Couldn’t they switch it up for Valentine’s Day?
Words of affirmation
In the immortal words of Shakespeare, “Na words of affirmation we go chop?” I mean, your partner loves you and wants you to know it, but let’s be honest. If they were serious, they’d have planned to add something tangible to the gift.
Dinner date
Your partner is willing to visit an overpriced restaurant on what’s probably the most expensive night of the year to show their love for you. That’s pretty serious.
A house
This is as serious as it gets. Your partner clearly sees you in their future and wants to create a legacy with you.
