It's not the holiday we care about. It's the repercussions or rewards we get if we do/do not give gifts to our significant others. I will get her something. I don't want to risk it. Plus, it's points
I hope he doesn't fall for that old trick. I remember when my wife first told me that. I also remember what a grouch she was for the rest of that month because I didn't get her anything.
What? I am not tricking him. I just think it is a manufactured holiday. Why can't he show me he loves me on a day other than V-day? I am pretty sure he will still get me flowers or something. I just want to know if I still should get him something if he actually cares about this holiday.
Here's what I got my girl last year: Clutch-Gram Clutch came to her office, embarrassed the hell out of her, brought her some gifts and took some pictures with her. Pugs
Assuming you're telling the truth, then you're in the .000001% of ladies who aren't completely f***ing lying when they say they don't want anything for a given holiday. He doesn't care about the holiday. It's simply beaten into us men that we have to assume you women do care whether you say you do or not.
Reeko, I like that plan! Leroy, is it hard to believe that at least one woman that doesn't care about V-day? yes I cared about it in the past but now it's eh. I don't need him to be spending on $$$ on ridic gifts on V-day. Now, he can get me gifts on other days, I am good with that. I just don't want him to feel "forced" to give me something just because the society says so. I truly don't care now.
I think the final cost was a little over $300. They emailed me 5 or 6 pictures they took, gave her a lot of free stuff and spent about 20 minutes at her office. It was great because they got someone to ask her to come down and totally surprised her. Pugs
Valentine's Day was orginally to commerate a saint, I don't believe in Saints. So right away I shouldn't celebrate. But given that it's original purpose was twisted by corporations and has become nothing more then capitalism on display, I really see no reason to celebrat it. The trick is to date a Jehovah's witness. They don't celebrate Christmas, Valentine's Day, or their birthdays. No gifts!
No, you're thinking of March 14th, not February 14th........ I thought by getting married on 2/16, I could forget about V-day forever....but NOOOOOOO..... My dream of combining V-day with our anniversary has never worked, so there's no reason to think it will this year.
My wife and I have always treated Valentine's Day as a low-key event. On our first Valentine's together (12 years ago), she cooked for me. No cards, no gifts, no going out. I do think it's a fun excuse to have a chef it up at home date night. Now that my wife is a professional chef, she pretty much has to work every Valentine's anyways.
Yep, it sucks to be single on V-Day...only b/c the way its marketed, it makes the single people think their alone and pathetic for not having someone to celebrate with...IMHO... I was with someone last year and we did dinner and I got her something...just broke up with my g/f so I'll be solo for the first time in a while...may hit a bar and look for single chicks... And yes, v-day is an overpriced, made up "holiday"...just say no
Are you kidding me, Ms. Di?!?!?! Why do you even have to MENTION that you want or DON'T WANT anything? Just leave it alone... and he'll figure it out. If he wants to, he will give it. If you want to, you will accept it. Or is it that you unconsciously do not want to give anything? Mmmm-hmmm???? Yeap. That's a REAL LADY talking.
I would but over the years I'v become quite attached to my balls. If I skipped Valentines day I might not wake up with them on the 15th.
Better play it safe and get my gf something or else my fat ground hog won't have a place to play hide and seek.
