United States: Confession Day

For a big boy, if there is the right person, Valentine's Day is the best time to express himself. If he is a lover in love, this day is the most suitable for hospitality. For a girl, this day, if you can't get flowers, it will be a depressing day.

Generally speaking, when Valentine's Day in the United States is a man's performance, girls don't take the initiative to attack, and girls don't show it very much, which is a little different from the situation in China. In addition, for boys who pursue girls in China, if girls accept his Valentine's Day gift or invitation on this day, it means the determination of love relationship. In the United States, whether men send flowers or invite them, they just convey a kind of love, and whether girls accept it or not, they don't express any commitment.

For an American family, on Valentine's Day, an older husband will invite his wife out to a dinner party. In addition to arranging the family Valentine's Day dinner, the young husband must buy roses and some expensive jewels for his wife. In addition, as the father of his daughter, he must buy flowers and chocolates for his daughter, otherwise her daughter will be jealous. As a mother, in order to please her son, she also buys flowers and chocolates for him on Valentine's Day. But dad won't buy flowers for his son, and mom won't buy flowers for her daughter.
