Re: Valentine's Day... For or against?
 

The tried and tested methods will always work e.g. flowers. I have never met a girl who doesn't like them (unless she's severly allergic, then she may think that you are trying to kill her and that'll get you nowhere).

Generic gifts like that are always the safest, of course and that's probably what everyone will tell you. That said, it can get boring. Try thinking of something that your girlfriend likes. Giving a slightly different gift can be good, shows that you put a little thought into it.

Maybe something that only make sense to the both of you? Every relationship needs an inside joke :)

I don't need a special day to be nice and attentive to my girlfriend. Against. :D

Re: Valentine's Day... For or against?
 

Lol... I like how you put it :D

Re: Valentine's Day... For or against?
 

Surprises are a great way to go. Even if it is something small like kidnapping her and taking her to dinner, if you make it a surprise it somehow makes it more special. As long as you don't do something that may go against what she likes (for instance, if she is the type of person to cringe at the thought of a sporting event, don't take her to a backetball game)

Re: Valentine's Day... For or against?
 

Do something cute and charming like buy a couple roses and leave them in places where she will find them, like on a doorstep or on a car. You can even leave little notes on their saying things like I love you, or whatnot.

You can even use that for buildup to something that you have planned to do. It doesn't have to be incredible either, like jeepnuts slave said. You just have to get her anxious for it.

Flowers on the car is great! Last year jeepnut surprised me for my birthday by decorating my car while I was in class. When, I came outside he had written on the windows with window paint and left flowers on my windshield. It was great! :D

Once I bought my mom a swan shaped vase and my sister broke it. When I was in second grade I got a red Chicago Bulls sweatshirt!

Now we just exchange candy and cards.

If your willing to spend the quarter, I have an idea for Valentines Day but I am with no one at the moment so, what say you I give this idea to you, Seth.

Preparations:
You will need money, and a sculpturer. Try to either get an ice sculpture of maybe a heart or an angel... something cliche but nice. Ice sculptures give off a great feeling as the mist rising from it creates a cool and same time warm atmosphere.

Surround it with long white candles, preferrably only two. Setup lights so it is illuminating the ice sculpture.

Place? Set it up in your garage... it may sound filthy, but the setup will be neat. Set one white or red rose on the table of the ice sculpture.

It Begins:
Call your girlfriend on valentine's day asking her to come over and you have to show her your mom's or your new car. Make something up to get her over.

Hide behind the ice sculpture... wearing something preferrably clean cut. When you hear the doorbell, you open the garage door, or the entrance to wherever you set this up. She walks in and sees the candle lit ice sculpture, and the one rose on the table.

Rise up... slowly.. don't scare her... and jump up (HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!)... rise up slowly and come around the table, take her hand, and touch her face and say "Be my valentine?"

WELP!!... thats my idea... I hope no one thinks I'm like... an idiot or something LOL

Re: Valentine's Day... For or against?
 

interesting kyuzo...i dont think anyone has ideas like that anymore....one question though...how are u going to get an ice sculpture?...grocerie store? :p lol

well since everyones sharing ideas...ill share an idea i had for my last valentine.....we couldnt physically b together as he was studying miles away....so i filled a large box with 365 herseys kisses....on top of the box i wrote " a kiss a day till out next valentines"....well we didnt exactly get that last part together...haha i think he ate all the choc already.

this year i would want to give my valentine "myself" as a valentines day present...and we could get food....music...lie in bed ....do nothing...cuddle...kiss...*censored*;)...laugh...chat...and cherish the moment of being able to b together...now all i need to do...is rob a bank... :(

Re: Valentine's Day... For or against?
 

*sigh*...i'm not for nor am i against it...it's just there...like thanks giving or easter...i don't celebrate any of them (even though i would LOVE to once in my life) so they don't really interest me that much currently, maybe in the future when i'll have my own family.


but this V day in particualr i hate.

Re: Valentine's Day... For or against?
 

The boyfriend forgot.






Out of bitterness I'm +repping all the boys.

:unsure:





BTW Canya, I'll +rep you again if I could do that to the same post lol...


---------------

ETA: I guess I may have overreacted earlier and now that I have calmed down, I should explain things a little further.

He did forget but he also apologised profusely when interrogated (nicely, of course :D )... so all is good again :)

Re: Valentine's Day... For or against?
 

Happy Valentine's Day Yan!

Re: Valentine's Day... For or against?
 

Have my doubloons. :)

Jeez, and be grateful. I'm hardly ever this nice. ;)

Re: Valentine's Day... For or against?
 

do u need to skin him alive...make dumplings...and use his bones for soup?.... :mad:
sigh*
guys...its actually really easy to please a girl whos in love wiht u...just put a lil thought in it...a special kiss....a single flower/weed u pick from the garden...a large thoughtful hug and a whisper i love u...i dont know ...personally...its the thought that counts not the price...the more effort and time...the more +'s...if she wants a diamond bracelet...or a brand new porsche to b happy and touched...i doubt its u that she loves; prolly is that wallet of urs :)
i feel on valentines day you should do/give her something you wouldnt normally do evyerday.....dont give a teddy bear...or a 100 roses... show her the reason you love her...give her a day to remember...i think she ll prolly remember a romantic stroll on the sands more than a movie at a crowded cinema
k...ill stop posting here...talking about it gets me more n more upset

Re: Valentine's Day... For or against?
 

When was this anyway. 14th right?

I bought her a CD a few days ago. And I bought a book that I'm going to give her on friday. Not because of valentine, just because I felt like it... :)
