What women want

Valentine's Day was created as a designated day to treat a woman special, said Kyle Craycraft, a sophomore agricultural economics major.
"It's just a holiday for them," he said.
With Valentine's Day here, it is obvious that Craycraft's statement is partially true as men start to sweat and ladies spend the week finding dresses and practicing expressions for when they receive flowers or (cross your fingers) jewelry.
"Girls can get a guy something small, though they are not obligated to, but a guy should either get something big or put a lot of thought into it," Craycraft said.
Junior mechanical engineering major Max Davies said he's indifferent about the holiday, but knows that if it's important to his girlfriend, a guy should make it special.
Although Davies is a bachelor, he is willing to dole out some ideas for those men lacking the gift of thoughtfulness and creativity.
If Davies were to be planning the perfect Valentine's Day for that special someone, he said the romance would start at 11 a.m. with a picnic at Lake Bryan.
Depending on her style, Davies would follow lunch with kite flying or fishing -- something out of the ordinary they would remember and enjoy doing together.
The night begins a whole new chapter as Davies would prepare a secluded candlelit dinner with a classy bottle of wine and surprise her with exotic flowers.
"Cooking dinner is crucial to showing thoughtfulness," Davies said.
Borrowing his next idea from a friend, Davies would end the night with something original.
"I would set up a projection screen in my backyard and watch a romantic movie together," Davies said.
If your gal isn't a kite-flying, movie-watching kind of girl, freshman general studies major Aaron Mader had a different plan.
"I'm an activity guy, so I would surprise her by taking her to the Baylor vs. A&M game and spending some serious cash on floor seats," Mader said.
