Valentines Day (Page 2)

With turqy.

I wasn't trying to rain on anyones parade, just calling it like I see it. If its an excuse to get all dolled up and put out spend quality time with the SO then great, but why not tell me how much you love me on any other day? Or take me to dinner. Or buy me a bike for my birthday.

I've been single and attached for Vday. Doesn't matter or bother me either way.

Sorry to hear about your dad.

well that's a tough one as my fiance is not in the same state as me at the moment.

 So I have one of two options:

1: send her a bouquet of roses with one being silk.  Write on the card:  "My love for you will last until the last one wilts away."

2: send her a boqet of the flowers we are planning to use as out wedding bouquet 

and I spell Boquet like Welshy

I guess I'll know after my date this weekend if I'm still interested this guy or not Usually I can tell by the 2nd or 3rd date- so far so good! No red flags at that moment to scare me away!

Have you gone running with him yet?

that's awesome.  I don't mind it, altho I think It's funny that St. Valentine was brutally murdered, yet the day celebrating his death is the day of love??  How's that work?

The one thing I can't stand is "sweetest day".  That was most definatly made up by the greeting card industry for the sole purpose of selling greeting cards.  They didn't even attempt to tack it onto some dead guy's birthday or anything. 

Those are both really really sweet ideas. How far away is your wedding? You could do the bouquet with the silk rose for Valentine's Day and send her a bouquet of wedding-type flowers a year or six months before your wedding. She's lucky to have you.

july 7, 07  so it's a ways away.  I do like saving it for the pre-annniversary.  good call 

When I was in college, my mom would send me 20 bucks and a some chocolate on Valentines Day. It's cool when parents do stuff for kids.

I kinda wish she'd still send me the 20 bucks, but, as she says, growing up's a bitch.

RGRBILL - 2006-02-08 10:59 AM Best idea I ever had for V-Day was to drive my GF at the time to a day spa and drop her off for about 4 hours of massages and facials and that stuff they do to your feet..... I went to a sports bar and shot pool with the guys for a few hours. When I picked her up I was golden.

 Thats an excellent idea!

 Did the massage thing last weekend.  Premature Valentination?

Years later she said I ruined her for other men. I was feeling pretty good for a few minutes until I realized she was talking about Valentine's Day....
