What is everyone doing for thier significant other?

I'm going off to stay at a casino for the next couple of days. Wish me luck. If I win a couple million, I'll arrange a VV get together.

This holiday sucks if you're single. I plan on sitting in front of the computer and eating candy all night and drinking to forget.

Arranged to have roses sent to the wife and kids. My girls think getting flowers at school is very cool.

Planning on taking them out tonight, preferably to some very out of the way restaurant that takes an hour to serve us. Quiet time with noone wandering off to check the TV and such.

Why would you do that? I had some of my best hookups at clubs on V-day back in the day. Because it's on a Friday this year, it would be all the better.

Good thinking Chidoro. If I was single I would be in the bars looking to capitalize on the volunerability of this holiday.

I heard on the radio today that 15% (maybe it was 13%, around there) of American women send themselves flowers on Valentine's Day. In my opinion, that's a poor idea. If they want someone to send them flowers, creating the impression that they already have someone sending them flowers makes them seem unavailable and is a bit counterproductive.

My fiancee and I don't do anything particularly special for Valentine's Day, no cards, gifts or anything. The only concession we make to the holiday is eating at one particular restaurant we've gone to for the past 3 years on Valentine's Day. We basically treat it like a date, minus the steamy sex in the backseat of my car (well, usually).

We've never really felt that Valentine's Day was much of a holiday. Not so much for the usual reasons you hear - the commercialism, the undue pressure, the somewhat shallow reasoning behind it - but because we don't get the day off with pay :P

Well I kinda had plans till the girl I'm hooking up with decided she was going to go visit friends she has in Penn. But she won't tell me who she is going to visit.
After a long talk with her on the phone and the things she said yesterday I kinda figured out she is going to bang her Ex in Rhode Island. I'm pissed. :evil:

Ahh, the good old days.

Now my Valentine's Day is going to be a lot like yours. Only difference I can see is that I'll be watching my wife making dinner rather than helping.

I agree with what Sirensa said on another thread about V-day. Its a stupid holiday really. If you have to have a day set aside to do romantic things for your partner, you're one step away from "scheduling" sex.

Sounds like you're going to be pencilling... her... in....

Hmm, I swear it seemed a lot funnier when it was in my head and I hadn't started writing it yet. I apologize.

Its commonly recommended by sex therapists to couples who have sex infrequently to get them to make it a priority. Although I find it kind of sad, it works for a lot of people. Its common for a busy married couple with kids & jobs to let their sex life slip, so its a way for them to maintain consistant sex.

Dinner out at one of our favorite restraunts. Got her a hot pink teddy bear (she LOVES) stuffed animals and has quite the collection.. couple of small teddy bears with candy for my grand daughters and of course something for them to give their grandma since they will be going out to dinner with us..

wanna know how to piss off your wife on valentines day WORSE then not getting her anything?

Go to the store the night before, have her walk over to the valentines section to get something for the granddaughters and what not and have to say "Well i guess this is a good time to tell you i already did my valentines day shopping" and her having to admit she hadn't gotten anything for me yet... priceless... truly... priceless..

Women expect men to forget.. and it really irks them when the guy is a step ahead.. I think i got elbowed in the ribs a few times in the store last night.. hehehe laughed my ass off cause she tried to do the same thing to me at christmas.. we agreed since money was tight we wouldn't get each other anything.. so low and behold 2 days before christmas some gifts show up under the tree from her to me..

Nothing special planned, but we did give gifts.. He got me a Pajama-Gram, which is awesome :D I got him a PS2 game and a nice shirt. Just a regular night of playing EQ, which is good enough for us :)

I do wish I get flowers tho. No flowers for me :(

As I drove home from work in heavy traffic, I saw in fully 1/3 of the cars some sort of Valentine's stuff, usually someone trying to drive with their vision impeeded by a few red and silver foil baloons.
And I believe that Valentine's Day is a commercial, make the florists rich type holiday.
But as I drove home with my own red foil "be my valentine" balloon and roses, I felt happy and special.
At a stop light I looked over and saw another woman looking at my balloon, she pointed to her 5 balloons and stuck her tongue out. I held up my flowers and stuck my tongue out.
It was great 8)
