B*tch, I Love You: A Valentine’s Playlist for the Man in Your Life

By Alexandra Gehringer

Can I just come right out and state the obvious? It feels impossible to find a good Valentine’s Day gift for guys. It’s the one holiday where everyone asks, “What is this gift saying?” Hand him a card and suddenly you’re the girl with all the emotions. Opt for a cool video game he was talking about and you’ll be unromantic and uncomfortable with intimacy. Cook a romantic dinner in and you’re taking your relationship way too fast. Seriously, it’s a minefield out there, ladies. I do have one solution to offer up, however.

Enter the Valentine’s Day mix CD. It’s fun, virtually free and definitely my go-to gift this year. Plus, the fact that it’s 100% customizable means you can totally dial up or down the level of feelings you throw at your boyfriend/FWB/hookup. (Hint: Less is typically more in the feelings department.) Striking the right balance is difficult, but with a little time and a few test plays you can definitely craft the perfect Valentine’s mix. Below are the 14 tracks I suggest you include to celebrate February 14th with a little humor and a whole lotta luv.
