Valentine's Day - I Choo Choo Choose You!
Posts
You should. The people who didn't hand-make them don't love you as much. Clearly your adorable twin siblings are the only members of your family invited to the wedding. :P
Dude, you are a creepy weirdo. There's no other possible description for someone who catalogues their workmate's clothing choices. I hope she got a restraining order.
Spy?
Of course, this year Im single so fuck valentines what a horrible disgusting consumer paved excuse for a holiday. Like Christmas.
Because nobody says you can't have a nice romantic evening at home when you're single. My 360 still loves me.
Anyways, I blow enough money on her anyways so Thursday night, I am making one of her favorite dishes and suffering through any movies she wants to watch. Just a nice quiet evening at her place. I suppose I should buy her something...but continuing to put up with her nonsense is the gift that keeps on giving.
i am a masochistic bastard.
You sound like you resent your girlfriend a little. Not a healthy relationship. Yes, you're masochistic, and the only person you're hurting is yourself. Well, the girl, too. If you ever dump her, she's going to expect just as much of the next guy and that may get her in trouble.
I do resent my girlfriend a little bit. But it comes more from the fact that I am an ungrateful bastard that she for whatever reason thinks the world of. I have never seen it though.
She is going to prepare dessert and have her place all spiffied up. I don't expect too much because she is a: an artist and b: very busy with school.
I am prone to running away from commitments and she has serious issues with anxiety. She is the emotional artist type and I am the less than expressive, computer type. We are a match made in heaven.
This is news to me. Honestly. I haven't been single for Valentine's day in years and I've never been given anything.
Jeez, that kinda sucks.
It never occurred to me that there was a non-reciprocal gift day, really. I mean, I guess birthdays are the only one I can think of.
All of them are non-reciprocal until you're old enough to be working. And they don't necessarily stop at that point either depending on your parents.
Mother and Father's day too.

True true, but you rarely bitch about those ones.
I should say I haven't celebrated any holidays with my lady-friend that weren't reciprocal.
You guys get yourselves some A+ girls, all right
Just stop by the adult store on your way home. I'm sure they'll have something in your size. :winky:
I got mine from Russia! They forgot to put holes in the box, though
Ummm, and when my florist recommended something to me of the type I would usually buy my gf, maybe only slightly more extravagant, and then quotes me $100 more than I would have expected the price to be.
I know demand and all, and prices are bound to increase for the holiday... But that's like a 350% markup on what I normally pay

I decided to do some work on my Hunter main in WoW. I notice I have mail. I go to check it and lo and behold it is from my husbands low level alt. So I open it and it says "I think you will like it. Its not much but its the best I can do right now. And besides its probably the geekiest thing I have ever done. Love Father to Kat"
So I am not even thinking anything valentines day, I am thinking he has sent me some low level jewel crafting trinket which I can't really use on a 70 hunter and can't sell cause thats just rude. So I mouse over the atachment and the tool tip comes up. I am baffed at first because there are no stats on the item. The I read the tool tip. The item " Flawless Diamond Solitaire" the flavor text " Will you marry me?"
I call him to find out where his job has him that day and ask him if he means it. He hems and haws and asks me if I think he means it. So I go down to the Museum where he was working on their network and drag him out to get a straight answer out of the infuriating man. He admited that he wrot the note to seem like he was talking about a low level crafted item untill I realized what the attachment was. He stayed up after me so I would not get the mail when I was playing the night before. We got married last summer on our daughters 6th birthday.
It was a suprise because I had given up on getting married. See we had been together for 8.5 years at that time and our daughter was 5. He was always of the "Why get married, things are fine now and nothing changes, I don't see the need for it." His mother agreed with him too. I wanted to have the piece of paper not the princess wedding thing. We orgionally were going to do the go to service bc and sign the papers with 2 friends but they don't do that anymore. So we had a simple wedding in our front yard by the fish pond with a Pot luck BBQ afterward like any other family gathering. It was wonderfull.
I sincerely doubt I am going to get anything, and I would be surprised if I did. I think it's only reciprocal if you are in a monogamous relationship.
Oh yeah, well, I ended up avoiding roses to get something a little more modest. Eh, tradition may be roses, but at that price they can get f****d.

So nerdy but so adorable
... so apparently I need to start examining my relationships a bit more closely?
Honestly, I've just had pretty poor luck/taste (delete as appropriate) when it comes to women.
That item actually is pretty spendy in game gold, IIRC.
They are awesome, and they share none of the frailties of actual roses. What's better is that I was going to give some to her, but it turns out I still cannot create anything but fire and ruin with my hands.
Oh and for our first valentines day she gave me a ceramic pyramid she had made in a ceramics class, with "I love Durandal4532" written on the side in Hieroglyphics. It was hollow, and inside were the Onion's "Love Coupons". Nothing says young love like getting "Sex without weeping during or after" or "Dinner at a restaurant with silverware" coupons.
Anyways, our next date is on Valentine's day. The plan is to just get a drink in my city, and maybe eat after that. She purposely left the rest of the evening vague.
Here's the question: at this point, would it be weird or counter-productive to give her something for Valentine's Day? What I had in mind would be something 'personal', something I know that she'll like, while at the same time it's not something big and expensive. Something I could even give to a good friend when there are no feelings between us.
incidentally, if anyone cares to comment on how I've described the situation, feel free. Don't know if this is the place for it though. I just thought some context would be important.
A small token of your affection is appropriate. What are you planning on giving her?
I'd be charmed. I know when my girlfriend first got me a little gift it was nice. It's especially excellent when it's something you really do like, but you know you'll end up forgetting to look for one.
Never a bad idea to show someone you like you were thinking about them.
But it's really thoughtful. If you don't want to give her the camera you could always make a card or something using Polaroid pictures since you know she likes em
The path of love is never smooth
But mine's continuous for you
You're the upper bound in the chains of my heart
You're my Axiom of Choice, you know it's true
I understand maybe 1/10 of that, and it is still amazing.
Also if you're going to be anti-Valentine's Day it doesn't make much sense to follow Valentine's Day traditions ;-)
