Valentine's day ass hattery

[jackfaire]

For most everyone, it's overpriced cards, chocolate, and candy (seriously, the chocolate in the hearts is the same as just buying it in the regular box you can get year round...with more than twice the markup). Be creative about it! You want to show me I'm special? Then don't give me the same thing as that guy down the street is giving his girl, or the guy next to him, etc.

When I was a broke college student my Girlfriend told me it wasn't a big deal that I could get her a cardboard box that I had blown a bunch of kisses into. So I got a cardboard box and filled it with Hershey's Kisses.

Apparently she forgot she was dating a smart ass.

That's a cute gesture . Did she like it?

Heck, I would've wanted to jump your bones if I was that girlfriend.

Heart shaped chocolate box, empty wrappers and a note which reads "I don't love you as much as chocolate."

I don't do V-day, if I was in a relationship, I would be more happy dropping little tokens, be it flowers, chocolates notes or what ever randomly through out the year when the mood struck.
As it is, there is a school of thought (I have no idea how true or not) that if a man gives a woman flowers or chocolates and it is not V-day a birthday or anniversary, then it is an appology.

And regarding the other thread in grabbag, when I was younger, I never saw girlfriends getting their guy's anything, as they got older it might be sexy undies for the night, but just men buying flowers chocolates and cheap jewlery, it was if women had a colletive 2nd birthday.

Yeah she loved it. It kind of set the tone for our whole relationship.

I am the kind of guy that gives smart ass gifts and if I am in a store and I see something I know someone I care about will like or laugh at or whatever I will get it for them.

To Be Honest, after almost 10 years of marriage to Mr. Rum, I wasn't going to waste my time on Valentine's Day this year. He always complains about the holiday and drags his feet about getting me something. He surprised me this year. He bought his Valentine's Day gifts a week before! So I went out and bought something he'd been wanting for a while. MEN!

You bought your husband men?

You bought your husband men?

That was my question exactly...

Must be something in the rain.

*dies laughing*

Ummm, no, not men. That should have been on the next line? I was expressing my frustration with men in general.

I got him noise canceling headphones for his commute.

That was too easy. I think I used that one in replying to a Sheldoners post over at CS a while back.

Queensryche -- I Don't Believe in Love. I actually posted the video of that one on my page, along with Adam Sandler doing the above-mentioned sing in "The Wedding Singer."

I'd mention "Heart Of Chrome" by Kiss if anyone had heard of it. XD Seriously tho, it's a good example.

All I did on Valentine's Day was post a few messages in a forum in the specifically themed "Valentine's Day" thread and change my status on Gaia. I haven't yet had anyone yelling at me, but if it happens, they can basically suck it. I've been single on Valentine's Day before; I just ignored all the coupled up stuff and went on my merry way... stopping only to buy some sweet, sweet reduced Valentine's chocolate the day after.

Now tho, I like to trade cards with Fiance. He likes to buy me stuff; I will get him something in return, but usually it's something like a CD or something small that isn't Valentine themed. Fiance does spend a lot on me, but he likes to; I'm not forcing him to go out and buy me shitloads of stuff. This year, I had the day off so Fiance cooked me dinner, and gave me some perfume, two candles and a red rose as a gift. I'm not going about bragging about what I got; however, I like Valentine's Day and I'm going to celebrate it, dammit.

*hands cookies to Racket Man* Yeah, it was easy . Wonder how a music trivia would go over in cs..too easy to google most of the answers though. Things that make you go Hmm...
