NOW What! Blog Talk Radio  

Do men and women think alike when it comes to love? In honor of Cupid's annual visit on February 14, I wanted to talk to some of my sister friends about this thing called love and the day they created to celebrate it.  How important is Valentine's Day anyway?  Do women expect sex on Valentine's Day?  Would we be OK if we didn't get a gift? Is not having a date on Valentine's Day such a horrible thing?  Who should make the plans for the romantic outing and who should pay?  As we countdown to the day meant for lovers we’ll talk about what super busy, dynamic women want for Valentines day and how you can win over... or better yet...win back... your sweetie.  Their answers might surprise you!
