Skyrad 0 #1 February 9, 2004 OK, so my flatmate (female) has told her boyfriend of almost a year that she doesn't want anything at all for valentines. What would you do if your lady said not to bother getting her anything on your first Valentines together. (Its a pretty serious relationship) Ladys feel free to add coments but I'm really curious what the guys will say in this pollWhen an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Just a little something, but don't overdo it.

kelel01 1 #5 February 9, 2004 Buy something, buy something, buy something . . . even if it's just a card with a VERY nice little note in it . . . if he doesn't do it, he'll never hear the end of it. But, that's why I never make ridiculous claims like that. Or if I do, it's b/c a certain someone (who at the moment does not exist) has been bitching his cheap ass off about how he doesn't have any money, but I don't mean it when I say "don't get me anything". I'm not a golddigger, but A CARD (and maybe one rose or something sweet like that) works wonders! Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornholio 0 #6 February 10, 2004 Both my g/f and I really don't care too much for v-day for different reasons, so we just kind of blow the day off as nothing special. Butthead: Whoa!

Skyrad 0 #8 February 10, 2004 Heehee... I thought If I were in his place theres no way I wouldn't get her something, damned if you do, eternaly if you don't!

RkyMtnHigh 0 #9 February 10, 2004 Jamile, The $$ isn't important nor is the gift. It's about quality time with someone you care about...if I can make an inexpensive suggestion: how about chocolate fondue with fresh strawberries? bubble bath? candles? that'd make me enjoy Valentine's DayI'm beyond the materialistic, it is when someone gives me their time..that's what's important to me. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alaura 0 #10 February 10, 2004 Only you would know if she's being serious or not, my suggestion is just give her a simple hershey's kisses. A guy did this to me one day, and I thought that was the cutiest thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyrad 0 #11 February 10, 2004 Thats lovely K, but the advice isn't for me alas, I'll be 'sans date' come Valentines The purpose of this poll was because I think her boyfriend will get her something and she doesn't think so. I thought that most guys would but she disagreed, so I thought I'd put it to the vote.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

FallinWoman 1 #12 February 10, 2004 He needs to get her something or do something special. Not a lot of money, but some gesture acknowledging the day. He could make her a little card. Skymedic made me the sweetest card I have ever gotten, and he gave it to me on a random day. No money....just time and a lovely thought inside. I treaure it more than anything else anyone has ever given me. ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dove 0 #13 February 10, 2004 I'm not big on Vday myself and have always said the same thing when in a relationship. I meant it. I say, if unsure, go for a card and then maybe suggest a nice dinner out. It's not nothing, but it's also not too much. Fall in dove. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
osuskydiver 0 #14 February 10, 2004 This year it is "Singles Awareness Day" for me I dunno why no one wants a Cute Army Skydiver like me? Anyone want to buy me some chocolate? But I always found girls liek Chocolate roses, the 2 practical V-day gifts combined By the time you read this you have already read it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vertifly 0 #15 February 10, 2004 Dude, don't fall for it. Some girls can be truthful about not really wanting a gift, but some can't. And the trick of it is, you will NEVER know which ones are thinkin what!!!??? That is why they drive us crazy. Do you honestly think that a man came up with the idea for Valentines day? Don't believe it. Go out, get her some expensive chocolates, at minimum, and maybe something personal between the two of you (a nighty or something even more carnal). And above all enjoy it; if done right, she'll give you everything that you need... UNTIL NEXT TIME. heheheheheheheh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dove 0 #16 February 10, 2004 Tough call. Cause if she really means it she won't be happy if you get her a buncha stuff and she has nada for you. Then what you really gave her was a guilt trip for Valentines day! That's why I say dinner. It can be your idea, but you get her input too. "I know you said you really didn't want anything for VD, but I'd love to take you to dinner cause I'm so happy to have you for my valentine. Anywhere you wanna go...." Fall in dove.

caress 0 #19 February 10, 2004 Well, you got time still. I made my Valentines. I got a heart-shaped box at walmart and decorated it. Lots of crafts you can do. Just put a little time in each night-easy-meaningful- inside, I put intensive lip care. Jumping in winter chaps your lips. Be creative-be yourself- she'll love that best.-Caress I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HRHSkyPrincess 0 #20 February 10, 2004 Listen Up, Mister Man, Get her a card, hang a banner over the bed, and a non-traditional (no roses) bouquet. It's Valentine's Day for crikey's sake! It's for lovers...you are lovers, right? Regardless of the press, do not let the day go unrecognized. Do not. Kiss kiss, D.***************** Attitude is everything!

turtlespeed 226 #23 February 10, 2004 It's called a game. Get her something that she could find usefull, and say that since she didn't want anything, you though you'd surprise her with practicality. It will either end the relationship or tell her not to play STUPID FUCKING GAMES anymore. Do I sound bitter?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
batbex 0 #24 February 10, 2004 He doesn't necessarily need to get her anything, he could just take her out to dinner - or preferably cook her a romantic meal himself, with her favourite foods(including a chocolate based desert) - soppy music, soppy candles, soppy flowers etc... doubt she'd complain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
