Valentines Day

For all you single lonely hearts reading this thread keep in mind Valentines Day is one of the best nights to go out as there will be plenty of unhappy single females drowning their single status at your local watering holes. Just my two pennies.

You have no idea about me or my wife. Perhaps you should stick to talking about things you know something about.

Thank you for playing.

No, I am with the other guy. Your wife says she agrees with you, but she is sad. She is sad she married you.

$1 card

$2 think of reese's

$13 roses

$65 dinner over the weekend (half of which was me)

not bad. and to the other guy that said that stuff's a copout, sometimes you just do what they like. it's really not that difficult.

I got my boyfriend a book about Civil War history, his favourite chocolate bar, and I registered him for a race he does every Spring. Plus a card. I spent about $60. He is taking me out for dinner and will probably spend too much money on my presents, but hey I'm not complaining :)

Same here. I was surprised that some people call their moms or friends on Valentine's Day. No gift for me. I can't believe some people spend so much money on this. I asked my sweetheart that we go on a run then spend time together. That will do!

Ha, I'm not this guy's wife but we don't do V-day either. It's silly.

I'd rather get surprised by a nice gift and dinner when it is not forced and just happens. I hate getting gifts for people when you must get a gift for them and especially when you are trying not to get the same thing as everyone in the world. But it's awesome when you see the perfect gift when you see it and it is a perfect surprise.

I'm in the awkward early stages of dating a girl where I can't really think of anything to do for Valentine's. So I'm not doing anything. Hopefully it doesn't bite me in the ass.

I'm sure the best way to handle this situation would be to do something small so it shoes that you recognize her without actually giving her a full gift.

Fixed your name for you.

Oh, and by the way, announcing that you are with someone who is talking out his ass isn't necessarily something most people would want to do. Of course, in your case, only you can say for sure if that is pretty much your standard position to take.

Peace Out,

This sounds like an awesome gift...I wish my last girlfriend was this thoughtfull.

So from a gals perspective, I've finally... after 3 yrs of marriage... convinced my husband I mean it when I say no flowers on Valentines... not a trap, not a "oh if you really loved me you know I'd want them anyway" crap.

Flowers get marked up waaaay to much on Feb 14.

For my birthday last month he got me a dozen roses at the grocery store for $12. No reason whatsoever to spend 4x as much for flowers a month later.

He was worried about the Valentine Prisoner's Dilemma.

You're both better off if you don't do anything, but he's totally screwed if you do something and he doesn't. He can't be sure what you're doing when he's not around.

It's all about being creative. Sure, Valentines Day carries a great deal of expectation but you don't have to stage a rebellion. Celebrate the occassion with something grand, not necessarily expensive. And keep on surprising your woman on February 15, next week, on March 23, "just because."

Besides Flagpole always suckin' all over obama's knob, sometimes I think he might be the most sensible and best poster on LRC. HE did the smart thing and spent what was likely no more than $25 for this "holiday," when there are some lame posters here who spend literally hundreds of dollars trying to impress women they don't really like or care for. They just want a 5minute bj at the end of the day, and end up paying top cash for it. like the op. loser.

Flowers from the grocery $20

Card (For our kid to give her) $3

Breakfast in bed of bacon and cream cheese stuffed french toast with milk and OJ. A little bit of time and untold value.
