[cite]Posted By: buckshee[/cite]I have never and will never do something for the other half just cos some card company tells me too.
I often buy her flowers or other little things for no other reason than I lover her and want to show her that more than once a year.
The only time it's ever cropped up is last year when her mates at work were taking the mick but I honestly believe that anyone who just does those kinda things on one day of the year should be ashamed of themsleves
Buckshee I couldn't agree more fella and until this year my missus and me have adopted the moral high ground and avoided getting involved in the whole thing except sending a card......at least I assume they've been from her.....anyway I digress.......yesterday, she drops in into the conversation that after 13 years she's gone and brought me a little present. The cow.
I now have a dilema, do I:
A) buckle under the pressure to conform and shell out for a box of choc's or something only to hear her complain that she's feeling fat for the week after eating them and why did I buy them, when I know she's on a diet, etc, etc or
stick to my guns, gratefully accept my gift and wait for her to ask for hers at which point they'll no doubt be a barney along the lines of "I thought we agreed? / I thought it was be nice for a change..."
stick to your guns or you'll be doing it every year. Either that or do what I said last year "if you want to celebrate valentines then fair enough but you won't be getting the numerous things you get throughout the year2

It's my birthday on Saturday so the Mrs has booked a table for us and her family to have dinner at the dog racing at Crayford. If we do anything romantic we'll do it on Sunday more than likely. It's always a bit of a mare having to share the day between birthday and Valentine's......
[cite]Posted By: Thommo[/cite]Doing the other option, taking the mrs out for a really nice valentines breakfast, a relaxing day and takeaway of choice
Me too, The Valley Cafe for breakfast, The Valley for some entertainment (dont laugh) and kebab on the way home, 28 years wed on cup final day, its works for us ;-)
My new bird is a stripper so she will be working anyway (she did not want to but I am frugal and pointed out we had not been together long and should scratch round things like this)
I had a thought about this earlier, I could sell an 'experience'. For couples with kids, couples who still live at mum and dad's, for coupes who want to keep a dirty little liason secret etc.
It is the chez lounge Dicko. I will put flowers, candles and shit up in the front room, some mood lighting and hide all the smut.
I will cook a glorious 3 course meal, waiting on the dirty pair, providing fine wine, sumptious cuisine, and romantic music courtesy of the resident DJ. I also thought for an extra few quid they can use my king size too because if we are honest, that is the only reason blokes take this occasion seriously (tongue in cheek to all those who have been happily involved for time)
AFKA, if your still struggling come Saturday about 2.30 give me the nod and I'll even leave early to get back and put the final touches to the love palais.
Valantines like Christmas and evrything else has just been ruined by commercialisim.
If you have a girlfriend, wife or whatever the male equivialnt is then Valantines is not really for you.
It is a time when you discretly or even secretly reveal your feelings (if that makes sense!) for someone who you are not actually attached to with a view to them guessing it's you and taking the matter further.
Bloody Clintons! Have you seen it in there? Happy Valantine cards for wives, grandmas, son-in-law, Mum's new husband etc etc. Pathetic. Then when they've gone they'll be stocking up with St Patricks Day cards!!
Dont do Valentines day, complete commercial scam, not interested.
The true meaning of Valentine is to send anonymous cards & flowers etc, so why the hell would you send one to your wife or g/f? Totall defeats the object IMO.
For those of you interested in my dilema I have booked Monday off and planned a day out in the New Forest with a bit of lunch, etc as a surprise. Gonna front it out tomorrow though when she hands over the "surprise" gift that she's been dropping hints about. Could be rough seas ahead...

A cunning plan
And they say romance is dead.

Dicko, i'm chuckling my ar3e off here because i know this is more likely to be true than false !!

Also got her a new Henry hoover (but that is a suprise).
