A timeless tale, an endless lie, a test that has been carried out across men all over the world! “I hate surprises!” she says, and of course, as a man, you believe her. Now… listen to these words very carefully… There is an 80 per cent chance that she is lying! I am one who falls under that 80% and am guilty of convincing my partner that I am not fond of surprises. Over the years, however, he has discovered that it is not at all true.
Every woman I have ever encountered is always extremely curious and inquisitive. On the occasion that she does find out there is a surprise (99 per cent of the time this will be the case) she will not rest until she uncovers the nature of it. There are a couple of things to remember when planning a surprise whether it is a surprise getaway or an enormous flower arrangement.
Keep the surprise a surprise!
Like I said above, if women have a suspicion I assure you they will follow through in its discovery. Do not tell her there is a surprise because you, my friend, are setting yourself up to be asked nine thousand other questions. Carry on as normal – no hinting, no clues…NOTHING! Trust me on this one guys.
Think about her!
What is it that she loves? She may love hanging out with your friends, but if your idea of a surprise is inviting the boys to crash date night with cards and pizza then please, please, please seek help! Do not mistake her selfless love for you with a love of boy’s night.
No-go zone!
Make sure the surprise is not part of a get-over-your-fear plan. If she is scared of planes do not organise to have her jump out of one, if she is scared of birds do not take her to an aviary… I know it sounds like common sense to some of you, if this is the case then im proud you understand the difference. For those of you who are shocked by this point, please re-read this point until it is embedded into your mind the way the functions of the buttons on a ps3 controller are.
Keep it simple!
Have you ever heard of the saying “less is more”? It applies very heavily to this! Women are definitely confusing creatures, there is no doubting that, however the fact that you took the initiative to surprise her will mean more to her than the extravagance of the gesture. Whether the surprise is the biggest of the biggest, or the smallest of the smallest make sure to leave a note/text message/email reminding her that you love her. 3 words. 8 letters. That’s all it will take to make your surprise seem like the most majestic one in the world.
