At this point, we can no longer swoon our Valentine with “Hannah Montana” or “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle” Valentine’s Day cards, so we have to make sure our Valentine’s Day game is strong. No longer can we attract our crush with the best handmade Valentine’s mailbox or winning the obstacle course on field day. But have no fear, swooning your college crush in time for Valentine’s Day can still be done.
Before you can even begin swooning your Valentine, you have to make sure they are in one of your GroupMe chats. It’s probably also best to friend them on Facebook, especially if they’re over 22. The best part is that both Facebook Messenger and GroupMe can show you when they have read your message, so you will always know when they leave you on “read.”
Start by sending them your best pickup line, meme or just telling them straight up what you really want. Maybe you like the classic pickup lines or even slightly offensive memes. Your crush will surely be impressed with your totally original sense of humor.
Make sure to surprise your crush with a Starbucks you ordered via Tapingo. She’ll blush when she knows you bought her a vanilla bean frappe without waiting in Social Sciences for 15 minutes. Or maybe she fancies Chick-fil-A and you can swoon her with 10 chicken nuggets and a cookies n’ cream milkshake.
After you have absolutely dazzled her with Tapingo and food, be sure to set up your double-nest Eno on the Green with your acoustic guitar at the ready. Do not forget to play “Wonderwall” for the entire Green to hear. She and everyone else will love to hear you croon, “Because maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me … “
If crooning on your guitar does not work right away, try constantly talking about yourself. Nevermind what your potential Valentine is doing with her life, make sure your Valentine knows all about your internship, GPA and life accomplishments thus far. Maybe even mention how you’ll work at your father’s company.
Of course, you can’t swoon your crush without a classy date night. Some classic restaurant choices include Applebee’s, Chili’s, Waffle House or Taco Bell. Not only do they have fantastic meals, but they usually have date night deals. Because all women love chocolate, make sure to buy them the chocolate lava cake, complete with tinsel and chocolate syrup. Top it off with a bouquet of roses and one fake rose, because your “love will never die.”
If you have tried all these tactics, you will definitely have your Valentine’s Day crush at the tip of your finger. She won’t be able to stop talking about you with her friends, and believe me, she will say only good things. Swooning your Valentine does not have to be difficult if you utilize these classy and sophisticated tactics.
