It might be a good idea to ask yourself why you feel you need to give your t a Valentine card. What are your intentions? Once you uncover your true intentions ask yourself if the card is really necessary and then make the decision.

It's wonderful to give cards, gifts, compliments, praise, and all that good stuff to people when it is done solely from the heart. Even then, there needs to be balance -- it shouldn't be overdone. When giving is done with an expectation or hope for something in return like love, friendship, security in the relationship, whatever, then that discredits you. It doesn't make giving genuine and that doesn't serve the giver or the givee.

I am a naturally caring adult that loves to give all kinds of gifts from my heart. Valentine's day gifts and cards are not an option to anyone except my mom and child (and lover if I had one!!). A t is none of those. That said, I would highly advise against giving your t the V-day card. Even if your intentions are pure and from the heart, it's too much and not appropriate.
