Valentine's around the corner...Do you really care?
« on: January 05, 2007, 04:27:24 AM »
Many women care, because it's "their" one day, when its all about them. Bubblebaths, Tiffany's, La Perla, Artgentinean rose petals, apricot pedicures, come to mind. But some women ( a very small minority) don't because, they believe that Valentine's Day should be every day, meaning that every day they should be treated right. The thinking is, if he was a f-up for 364 days of the year, one day is not going to change it.

Your thoughts on both points....

This particular day is a perfect example of another commercialized day. On a regular day, 1 dozen red roses costs me 45.00 bucks. On valentines day the same bouquet costs me 70.00 bucks. Go figure. As for the day itself, I look at it as the time to really go all out for you and your signifigant other. Take the time to do a romantic thing together. But you are right, one's signifigant other should be treated with special care everyday. Roses should be sent for no reason, etc.

I care if I have a boyfriend, I don't care if I'm single. This year nothing would make me happier than to be snuggled up in my honey's arms. I don't care about roses, jewelry, or other expensive gifts, I just want to be with him. That's what it's all about for me. Oh yeah, and chocolate, I didn't say I don't care about chocolate...can't have it, but I want it...

Me too, Parker!!! 10yrs, 20 yrs, and so on!! 

(I'm not being "concieted" with what I said...I just mean I get true love everyday from Bob, and thats all I really want)

I'm with Buff...this Valentine's day will be me, my new daughter, and my husband.  It will be a nice day to just spend time and lay around in bed.  Flower, candy, and gifts are nice...but not required to make my day perfect.  I prefer time with the two most important loves in my life over anything materialistic.

It means far more to me to get a single rose on any other day of the year other than Valentines day!!  To me getting a rose and a card on that day is not special at all.  I would prefer a hand written note or a note left somewhere for me to find!  Anyone can go and buy the prettiest card with the nicest verse, but make it up! Now that is something.

I'm always sharing these notes from the past but, my ex-husband  did something incredible one year for Valentines day. We were so broke we couldn't pay attention, so the guy worked for 2 days for this chop-shop to buy me a ruby ring and stopped by the side of the road to pick wild flowers. (okay, this is southern cali) To see a big macho guy by the side of the road picking wild flowers, that was epic. My current (and hopefully the last man I'll ever be with) has something epic planned for a late Valentines Day. You girls know the scoop and who I'm speaking of. I'm forgiven and I swear I will never "Bitch Out" again. The reality of losing him was way too painful. If I could just be in his arms on Valentines Day I would be the happiest girl on earth.

Your ex worked at a chop shop? So he's one of the reasons why my insurance premium is so high?
Damn, aim high next time, like someone who steals 20's and sells for a discount ;D

I with you too all the way! It's all about who you're with rather than what he can buy you.  :)

I don't care.  Valentine's Day is a commercialized, materialistic holiday that has no true meaning in the whole scheme of things.  It almost seems as though a few women at Hallmark and Zales concocted this little idea.  Look, if two people within a relationship want romance, then they should be able to create it at any point in the year without being told that this is the one day to do it.  If a man has to be told to do something, then the action isn't worth having/experiencing.

I've been single on the majority of Valentine's Days.  And I've spent most of those evenings in the gym.

No my man. it's a long distance relationship. He's in Cali, I'm in Oregon, but he has taken control of my heart like no one else ever has...I actually love him with every fiber of my being...

So you are back together that is great news!!

That is a great idea to get your friend to do the delivering, was it a stripagram??

lol nooo..i didn't want my friend stripping for my girl .my girl woulda been pissed ..and i wasn't about to strip for my friends girl either..

no just some simple " you're in my thoughts" kinda stuff..

took her out later in the week..when the rush calms down..and a private dinner is actually a private dinner..and the server can actually take the time to listen to you..
