rjw63 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Steak dinner and wine at home. But next Thursday/Friday hotel mini-break in Cornwall. She's worth it. And I like sex in different places Just hoping the hotel hasn't been swept away in these poxy floods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have no interest in Valentines day, it's just a normal day isn't it. Unfortunately my girlfriends flat mate is likely to get showered with gifts by her fella and this will make me look bad. I've lowered expectations down to nothing though so I'll make a card and do some baking and that'll have to do. Working on Friday night anyway.

Stevo985 Posted February 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2014 It's utter bollocks. Buuuuut being as I'm not single for it this year in the first time in a while, my normal plan of going to any club, waiting until 2am and then taking my pick of the desperate girls who have suddenly come to the realisation that they haven't pulled on valentine's day just won't cut it this year. So cooking for the missus, and bought her a little something. Should hopefully keep the relationship going until March 14th. Man Day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Somewhere along the line, Valentines Day became almost completely about the women, and pleasing them. Seems like they just sit back and let the guys sweat it out, running around trying to do this, get that, reserve this, etc. And be original. Or traditional. Or both. Just don't screw it up. None of this applies to me personally however, because I'm happily single And if I did have a girlfriend, she'd have to view this holiday with the same level of contempt that I do! I can't remeber if you're American or Irish? But is it a holiday for the yanks? In the UK, it's just a 'normal' day, where we have to work but are also pressured into doing something 'romantic' for the other half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted February 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2014 Should hopefully keep the relationship going until March 14th. Man Day. Which just happens to be my birthday. I consider it THE internet meme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Will be going for a nice meal (I get equal enjoyment out of that, even though I'm paying) and also having a necklace repaired which I'd bought for Valentines Day no. 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Every year Mrs H says don't make a fuss which is female code for " you better not forget or I'll go all bobbit on you whilst you sleep " But seeing as I'm one of these thoughtful chaps that buys flowers for his wife all year around ( I.e I'm always getting pissed and staying out til the wee hours ) I don't buy them for valentines , so just a card and chocs which I'll end up eating anyway( our little "in" joke is I always buy her a bar of Toblerone because it's my favourite ) who says romance is dead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Whats romantic about being forced to be romantic at the whim of card manufacturers? Generally men think of Valentines Day as a chore, generally women are the ones who get the hump if its forgotten or they aren't satisfied with the outcome of the day. Totally bogus day The perfect example of how capitalism corrupts everything it touches and how even the expression of affection is reduced to a traded commodity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Flowers ordered ready for delivery (5min call to local florist). Will chuck a token card at her tomorrow morning which I will purchase later today during my lunch hour. Jobs a good un. Its not really much effort but hey ho....she's 7 months up the spout so there will be zero chance of anything getting jiggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I hate buying cards. Total waste of money as you throw them out the following day and have decided this is where I make my stand from now until death. Commercial bollocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
