What is "ok" for valentine's day?

[coltrane]

Ladies:

I bought a couple tickets to go see a NHL hockey game for valentine's day with my gf.   She likes hockey too.  We'll certainly do drinks/dinner casually prior to the game. 

This is enough, right?  I always feel like i have to buy a present too.. or do the whole flowers thing.

THoughts? 

[YoungBlood]

Make the present something that she sees at the game. A gift is a good idea, but I feel it's not necessary to buy the gift ahead of time. You might buy her something wrong or change the course of the date or even relationship.

Maybe instead kinna poke at something she might want ahead of time. You say she likes hockey, so using that as an example, hint around at talking about her favorite player, and say something like "would it be cool to own an authentic jersey of his?" and if she replies 'yeah that would be pretty cool,'  you now have a lead and can maybe buy a jersey for her. Not the best example, just explaining a way you could get a gift idea for something she wants and make it a bit more exciting than a box of chocolates.

You could also do something like buy it at the game for her, make her involved somehow. Maybe tell her you're going to the bathroom and tell the salesman to make up a story about the jersey being the last one and the people have been fighting over it. So you just whip out your wallet and say something like "name your price" or whatever.

Be creative, and make whatever you do, something that she'll enjoy and remember.

I'm starting to think the boot would be appropriate.

[coltrane]

See i was kinda thinking that the whole going to the game thing was enough!  Like a special night outta town for a game. 


LADIES on this board... thoughts please?!

[Butterbean]

coltrane, your date sounds great and it should def. be enough.

[powerpack]

A dozen roses and a box of ferrero rocher chocolates ............ good enough

Weak!  Never opt for the kroger/publix convenience special!  Damn it men, step up to the plate and do something with some wow factor.  think outside the heart shaped box.  

Don't mind the fact i'm single though, lol

There was a time that i rented a white horse drawn buggy with champagne to take us around the downtown district and to a nice dinner in the city.  That would have been followed by a show (movie maybe, but more along the lines of a real show).  The other thing is to treat her to a surprise day.  She takes the day off, and you set her up with a limo.  In the limo a small present/note saying that she is off to go shopping at "XYC" store.  Once there she is greeted by a shopping assistant to help her choose a dress/outfit.  Then in the dressing room you have another note/gift.  This one saying that you hope she finds something she loves for later on in the night.  Then back to the limo for a light spa style lunch (think small tapas) and mani/pedi/facial/massage.  Then once back in the car another note. Say something about how excited you are to see her.  The limo takes somewhere she likes see or shop.  Then one last ride to the restaurent she favors.  She gets all decked out in her dress and feeling great after the spa.  You meet her at the table and have a great meal, followed by actual conversation ABOUT HER and HER DAY.  Then after dinner take home dessert.  Instead of going home, take her to a hotel(nice one not motel 6), lead her into the room, which you have expertly decorated with dim lighting and candles, her favorite flowers etc.  Feed her dessert and make nice small talk.  Make her feel special be playful.  After the mood is set, tease her by placing a blindfold over her eyes.  Then feed her strawberries that have been dipped and even injected with a nice chocolate or cordial.  Make it fun and erotic, sensous but light.  Focus on her overall body not just the naughty bits.  Ravish her, delight in her.  Relish her like until she begs you to take her....



Then smash that ass like liger in heat ( what i have to keep this somewhat getbigish)  


that is actaully an idea i had if i was going to ask a girl to marry me.  It wold obviously be catered to what she liked and wants to do.

I don't read long posts but can only assume you wrote something incredibly gay based upon Stella's post.

I say keep it simple and treat the person right and appreciate them on a daily basis. Screw stupid holidays, big statements and all the commercial nonsense they advocate.

Half (or more) of the reason relationships fail is nitwits think they are on one long date and are entitled to continuous entertainment. If you're with a person that basically has the emotional mentality/maturity of a kitten, needing a bigger ball of yarn daily to remain amused, dump their crazy butt and find someone new. Preferably someone reasonably responsible for their own emotional well being.

I just sent this jar full of assorted gourmet cookies to my nieces (6 and 4) for Valentine’s Day.  Aren’t I a sweetheart?

Over the top.  A bit too much for my taste

I have to agree  ^
I'm really not that much of a romantic.  I appreciate just the everyday nice things/courtesies.  For instance, I have several bird feeders in the back yard which my kitchen sink overlooks.  My husband keeps the feeders full and the water fresh because he know I enjoy seeing them even though he has to schlep thru all kinds of snow and crap to get back there.

I kinda just think getting outta town and doing a little valentine's "date" is enough on it's own.  The tickets weren't cheap ya know!

I'd get one of those musical silly cards and have her open it in the restaurant 

[RUDE BUOY]

col you definitely have a great date lined up for the both of you. but its the little things that make parts of the date just about her such as flowers being delivered to the restaurant and such that will make her remember.  It may not seem like a big deal to us but to women its the small things that let them know you are thinking about them.

[tone loc]

I think flowers are so much better any other day of the year.

For one reason, the prices are so jacked up on Valentines day. You could get them three different times during the rest of the for the price you pay for a dozen on V-Day.

When a guy gets a girl flowers any other random day, it'll make her so happy. Just picking some up when you pass them in the grocery store lets her know you're thinking about her on a random day. So much better than on the most obvious day of the year, Valentines Day.

I know it may sound cliche but I think one of the easiest, cheapest, most meaningful things a guy can give his girlfriend on Valentines Day is a card. It may sound lame, but its not often guys put their feelings into writing and it does mean so much when it happens. I have been with my boyfriend for a year now and what I would give to get a card from him he'll never know.


As for your date, I hope it went well! I love hockey so I would have had a great time!

[coltrane]

Hockey date went great.. it was fun...  she had fun..

sunday i cooked surf and turf.   AND i brought home flowers from work friday. 


Cant wait til next valentine's day....
