GLC Presents: Real Men of Genius? #31, Mr. Wait for Valentine's Day GLC Presents: Real Men of Genius? #31 Today, I salute you, Mr. Wait for Valentine's Day Yes, I know. Bloody Sunday was two days ago, but something came to my attention that made me take a few days to think. As stores pack their shelves to overflowing with chocolates, stuffed animals, and one-of-a-kind greeting cards, florists are preparing for the weekend rush, and jewelers are expecting a sudden jump in sales. Of course, I'm talking about St. Valentine's Day. One of the few days out of the year when guys pull out all the stops to show their lovely ladies how much they care. Here's my question. What about the OTHER 364 days? Why can't they all be just as special? Why can't you take a little bit of your time each day to express your feelings? I'm not talking about saying, "I love you." Anyone can say those words, or a few just like them, but can you say how much you care without actually SAYING it? Forget greeting cards, chocolates, and those cute little stuffed animals. I'm talking about DOING something to show what's in your heart. It's there. You just need to make the effort to express it. When was the last time you opened the car door for her? How about offering your arm as you walk side by side? Ever try cooking her a nice dinner? It's not rocket science, but matters of the heart too often, these days, are looked upon as something more difficult than threading a needle with a garden hose. Recently, someone told me what she wanted for Valentine's Day. Now, anyone else might have guessed that she would say chocolates, flowers, or even the elusive diamond ring. They would have guessed wrong. No. She asked for a letter. A letter from the man she loves expressing the love he feels. I would ask all guys to do two things. First, put down the needle and garden hose, because it isn't going to happen. Second, give writing a letter a shot. But, before you do, I want you to imagine your life without her. Imagine that she's gone, forever, and all the things you wish you had told her will never be said. Now, take all those things and write them down. Tell her, as if tomorrow will never come, what you feel. This doesn't only apply to the guys. It is directed at anyone who waits for the "right moment" to express themselves. As I said earlier, actions speak louder than words, and can leave an impression that will stand the test of time. Now, I say to all of you. The next time you see your partner, do something to express your feelings to them. Hug them. Kiss them. Hell, pinch them on the behind if you feel it's what will say it best. Keep in mind, that it isn't about keeping score. It's not about expecting something in return. It's about doing what feels right. Just don't wait for one special day out of the year to open your heart. Make every day special. Make every day count. GLC |

If only Mr. GLC had a face to accompany his photo, we might have been looking at the perfect man.
