valentines day

Ok, this is for everyone out there, guys and girls. I've been dating my guy for... 6 months now... and i have no clue what to get him for valentines day. Ive never had a valentines day with a guy before, so i dont know what kinda things i should do, and i have no clue what to expect from him either.

So, I want to get my guy something thats meaningful, but not sappy. Im really self consious about gifts for some reason so i would like to hear a) from the guys and what you would like to get from a girl..... and b) from the girls... what u have given in the past thats worked out nicely or just any ideas that come to ur mind.

thanks soo much for ur help!

Well for all intents and purposes Valentines day is "Sappy" it can be so hoaky it isn't funny. If you wanna laugh I used to know a girl a long time a go who was dating this guy and asked me the exact same question you are. She told me she really wanted to get him something special and "much better" then his ex-girlfriend had given him. (supposedly she was the end all to be all the love of his life and my freind wanted to seriously show her up) I asked her if she had any idea's on what she had gotten him.
Yes she told me last year she got him a box of shotgun shells! Ah nothing say I love you like a box of Double O Buck...........

I guess the point is if you really want to get him something with meaning then only you know what he really likes and would rememebr etc. However!!!! If you really want to get him something that will rock his world. Go get yourself the sexiest most erotic lingerie you can find and give him a wild night of unbridled passionate sex that he will never forget.....

I know it works for me everytime and I never ever get tired of it.

Good luck in your quest.

Budde, I can top that. I had an ex years ago who went out and bought me a Val's day card, which he handed to me, STILL in the bag the cashier placed it in, not even signed, and an iron which was meant to be shared by myself and our room mate. I never even USED an iron then, since i worked in a cabinet shop assembling drawers and such, and we seldom went out. My room mate was always the one griping about her iron not working. And yet...the dipstick had the gall to wonder why I wasn't speaking to him! I tell ya, I've never been big on Val's day, but that one went down in history as the WORST one ever!

Well I know someone who got a stove............lol needless to say he's gone but the stove is still around. Oh I had some poor worthless excuse of a g/f tell me when we were on vacation in Florida on Valentines day that she thought she was ready for this dating thing but now realised she wasn't. Yeah ok I called her a cab sent her sorry ass to the airport, called a buddy of mine who flew down and met me in Daytona best damd vaction I ever had. Got rid of 125 lbs(and I'm being nice) of worthless hemiroid.

David and I arn't a real fan of Valintines day. I say, if you are gonna get me flowers get me them on any other day on valintines day because they cost a damn fortune. But if you read my Christmas post you'll know I'm not a fan of Christmas either. Its not the meaning of the Holiday that bothers me, but the meaning is lost with all the commercial crap.

Most guys I don't know even really care about Valintines day except to say that their girlfriends or wives are going to strangle them if they forget.

If you love him tell him you love him everyday, not just on Valintines day. I'm sorry but I have a real loathing when people save up and make a big deal out of it and spend soooooo much money trying to impress or out do people on that day. What happends is your broke, you got some cheezy card you gotta throw away or look at it forever, and you are just like everybody else.

You want to do something special for Valintines day. Skip the flowers, skip the expensive dinner reservation. Cook your SO something you have never made before weather it turns out good or bad it dosn't matter. Light some candles, have a picnic on the living room floor and watch a movie while you snuggle and cuddle. Don't answer the phone, turn off all the lights and pretend nobody is home. Don't dress up sexy and make everybody feel like they have to perform some mind blowing sex move on -that- day. Just relax, laugh, make it cheap and personal.

My two cents,

In keeping with waht Jenny&David said, I think Valentines day is the biggest joke of all the holidays.

It's all about marketing, and trying to make us think we need to spend lots of money to show someone we love them. Can't we just show them everyday without having to buy gifts?

I make sure to tell her I love her as soon as she wakes and right before she falls asleep on Feb 14th, that it's it's the first and last thing hears that day. I'll usually but some flowers and take her for dinner, but we do that all the time anyways. The best thing you could do is, give him and evening he'll forget. Give him a memory, not an object...

Valentines, Christmas, Easter, St patty's day, and the rest of them are all bogus IMHO.

As I see it the only holiday on our calender with any validity is New Years day (or national dates, ie:4th of July or Canada day), and even that is questionable as the 12month calender is not universally aligned.

I really fon't like Valentines day either...It is a waste of money and it does depress the hell out of the masses of people who are single./..But saying that , this could just be because Ive never recieved a proper valentines gift or card really..maybe its just the bitterness in me...however I am seeing someone and he like me doesnt really go in for all that romantic gestures of flowers etc...however this year I decided I wanted to do summit...so I bought handcuffs and sex/love dice. He knows habout the handcuffs only so this year we're gonna have an alternative sex filled valentines...I can't wait!!
