Be My Valentine?

[Hasina]

:heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

:aww: It's Valentines soon :love: and I just wanted to know what everyone was doing for their special someone.

I, for one, plan to get my boyfriend 1 red heart ballon for every week we've been together (that's a lot of ballons) and put a little note on each one of them.

Each note will recall a memory from that week as well as one thing I love about him.

Then I am going to go into his house, put down a trail of ballons all the way to his bedroom where he will find me wearing his favorite things of mine, done up just the way he likes me.

In the room there will be dinner in bed as well as some champagne and a couple choices for "desert". :saint: All this while watching his favorite movie of all times.

What are you guys doing?

:heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

the other 3 topics are about the same thing, is what he's implying.

[Czeska]

My mom will be watching my 3 year old while my boyfriend and I celebrate our first valentines day together. Probably just dinner and a movie.

[Hasina]

Is there? Well, my thread is better... because... well... yeah.

Thread. And mine is the best.

Hasina.. What you're doing for your boyfriend is great and very very sweet. Your plan will seem to take the whole night. I'm curious though.. You have planned this great thing for your boyfriend.. What is your boyfriend doing for you? :?:

He'll let her have sex with him.

But that's not entirely altruistic, for he would be doing it for himself as well. I certainly hope he's really really awesome in bed. But otherwise, besides letting "her" have sex with him as tijay put it. What has he done in the past?

[CrystalTears]

Heh, all that romantical stuff wouldn't really work with any man I know. I mean mine will smile and say it's all cute, call me a silly monkey, but then ask, "Where's my real present?" with a wiggle of the eyebrows.

do you think she's taking her time to recall memories for those ballons and do all that work just for herself?

[CrystalTears]

Wearing his favorite things, champagne, dinner in bed, making him "deserts"... what would you call that? Foreplay! :up:

Do you think she would need notes to make him remember? Better question, does the majority of guys even remember the romantic things that has happened in the past? much less care?

[Sean]

Remeber events? I'd say yes. Remeber things like dates,minutes,seconds, etc. when they happened? Probably not. But in the scheme of things which is really more important?

[CrystalTears]

And that's one of the problems that men have with women. Women focus on the details of little things and don't focus on the big picture, because heaven forbid he doesn't remember some mundane detail about something that happened two years ago. He's insensitive to her feelings and needs. Meanwhile he's been at her side, loved her, cared for her, romanced her in his own way and it's still not good enough because what matters most is what matters to her.

Read my signature thx.

[Jonty]

I remember dates better than women! ...I don't mean to though; I'm just good with numbers.

[CrystalTears]

Heh, when you have more than one romantic memory in your possession, then come and say that again. ;)

[Kia]

My husband gets the new Descendents EP and some hot action.

KIA.

:lol:

pwned :P

[HarmNone]

Heh. Men do remember the romantic, silly little things women do in an effort to please them. They may not always say so, they may not know how to say so, but they remember and the memories can often surface at the oddest times and in ways that can leave you breathless. :)

HarmNone remembers being remembered...

[Sean]

HN is remebering about the days when RJ would be "romantic" before splitting her in half.

[HarmNone]

Tijay, you are going to get it. I am not sure when, or how, or to what degree I shall maim you, but you are definitely going to get it! :D

HarmNone thinks Tijay just pwnd her

[Tsa`ah]

Why exactly do people get worked up over one day out of one year like this?

Look, if you have needed this day to be romantic, you have problems.

We don't celebrate this holiday in our home, it's just silly. My wife would rather occasionally get flowers out of the blue while at work than once a year when everyone else is doing the same. It's just tacky and unoriginal.

While I have the thought in my head, why exactly do some women get upset that their significant other isn't overwhelmed and breathless each and every time she does something "romantic"?

I'm going to lay this down to you as simply as I can. Men, like it or not, are wired differently. Most of us don't care about romance the way women do. We don't need the attention, and most times we don't want the attention. Call it what you will, I'll call it human nature. This isn't to say men aren't romantic; we just don't need to express romance at every waking hour.

A man isn't going to going to get mushy and kissy over balloons and notes. A man isn't going to say, "aawww ... she loves me so much" when he gets chocolates. We really hate fighting traffic, searching for parking, and waiting in line for a "romantic" dinner that EVERYONE and their uncle is trying to get at the exact same time.

Romance is spontaneous and planned at the same time. It's a whim and a deep personal expression of one's self to another. This holiday is killing that.

You want your significant other to be romantic? Then put this holiday behind you and accept that person for what they are, or move on with your life.

Expecting romance, expecting anything other than the way that person expresses love, is being needy. If that's you, you will never find the right person.

no and no

[CrystalTears]

Hell I barely remember what I did last week.

[HarmNone]

Heh. I stand with Tsa`ah. Why invest one day of the year with such romantic angst? Spontaneous gestures are much more romantic when they are...well, spontaneous. :D

HarmNone loves surprises

[Czeska]

First of all, Harmnone makes me giggle.

Secondly..
I agree that being romantic on Valentine's Day just cause it IS valentine's day is silly.
But if both people feel it's fun, and it gives their relationship a little kick in the ass, there's nothing at all wrong with that.

In summary! Be romantic on valentine's day! Just not ONLY then.

PS. I got the best kiss of my life last night, and I'm 34. That's saying something.

I'm buying my wife a trilogy of books she wanted, then taking her out for really really good food.
