folieadeux Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I know, I'm early. Anyone able to spend Valentine's Day with their SO this year? I won't be () but we're trying to organize something to make up for it when I get there the following week. For those of you spending it apart, what will you do instead?

Vodka Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Not sure if I can technically call him my SO, but I'll just play along. No, we won't see each other at Valentine's. Our birthdays are both on the day before though, so I will probably try to combine his birthday and Valentine's and mail him something. Not sure yet as to what to get though...

Wolz Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 nope...it's twice the disappointment for me since valentines day is my birthday too Link to post Share on other sites
Author folieadeux Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Nope, will not be. I believe he will be coming the last week of Feb, first week of March, so close enough. For things like that we usually celebrate when he comes. I figure we'll be a little busier this year since I'm starting this new job and he's working on his thesis. How often are you guys seeing each other, Folie? Is it every couple of months? Ah, very true...at least you'll have alot to celebrate when you're together. Once a month or once every other month.

I'm counting you guys as together. That's amazing you have the same birthdays! I would take that as a sign. I'll probably end up sending my boyfriend something too rather than packing it but I haven't decided on what yet though either. nope...it's twice the disappointment for me since valentines day is my birthday too Wow, someone else with a V-day birthday! I know it'll be disappointing all too well, but maybe you can mail each other things to help. Link to post Share on other sites
Taucher Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Not an issue with me as my SO is Colombian and they dont have Valentine's Day in Colombia. But no, we wont be together. Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Erased Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Nope, not together. I've never celebrated a Valentines Day with anyone I was with though so it doesn't bother me too much. I'm more hoping for our 1 year anniversary in March but it doesn't look that likely. Link to post Share on other sites
HeavenOrHell Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 We don't really do valentine's day, we might happen to be together then anyway, but not planned that way. I'd like to spend our first anniversary together, (not that he'll remember when it is, being a man) and my birthday and his but they're all within 4 weeks of each other, so we'll only make one of them Link to post Share on other sites
Author folieadeux Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Not an issue with me as my SO is Colombian and they dont have Valentine's Day in Colombia. But no, we wont be together. You should start a new tradition together next V-day when you are together...just another excuse to be all cutesy. Nope, not together. I've never celebrated a Valentines Day with anyone I was with though so it doesn't bother me too much. I'm more hoping for our 1 year anniversary in March but it doesn't look that likely. I haven't had a good V-day in YEARS...hoping this year breaks the cycle. I replied to you in the countdown thread...how far behind are they on the apps? We don't really do valentine's day, we might happen to be together then anyway, but not planned that way. I'd like to spend our first anniversary together, (not that he'll remember when it is, being a man) and my birthday and his but they're all within 4 weeks of each other, so we'll only make one of them I seriously laughed out loud at the "man" comment. You should have one big celebration for everything. Link to post Share on other sites
nemi26 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 he's coming the weekend before, 11th to 13th because im at college on the 14th but the week after is half term, so i'm going to his for a week i think Link to post Share on other sites
Cathster Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I don't think we will be as I don't have enough time to take off work and it's too far to go for a weekend. Quite sad though as it's his birthday, our anniversary and Valentine's day in the same week, so we'll be missing out on major celebrations Will have to send him a lovely package to make up for it!

Whatshername Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I just realized that we were broken up LAST V Day and looks like this year, we are really and truly broken up, for ever. I am not feeling hopeful of a reconciliation. He has yet to apologize and well, it just makes what happened even worse. Damn him anyway! I hate V Day when you have just broken up! My parents were married on VDay and were married for 46 years! Link to post Share on other sites

rainiejae Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Sadly I wont be able to be with him for Valentine's (or as I usually had referred to it: Single awareness day). So instead we will settle for an evening on Skype & I'm currently creating a new art piece to send to him as a gift. Not the best case scenario but it's better than nothing!

That's a really good idea! I wish I was artistic and could pull something like that off that would look halfway decent. Link to post Share on other sites
lonely79 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 we havent talked about valentine's day (i bet he doesnt even realize its coming up ). im not all that concerned about it...i got him a card that I'll send to him but I sent him some cute stuff for Christmas and so I dont want to over do it...He will be here next week and will see all my Vday decorations and candy so maybe he'll get the hint? doubtful! We're so new...i hesitate to talk about "love" so soon you know? the card I got him says "smitten" and on the inside says "im a little crazy about you (okay, a lot)" I will be sad if I dont get anything in return though. He didnt send me anything for Christmas (I told him that he shouldnt send me anything and he listened!) but he paid for all my dinners/lunches/drinks when i visited him for new years so I think that sorta made up for it! I also sent him a little "just because" card last week. so if I send him the Vday card, I dont get at least something in return, im gonna be a little sad. is that dumb?

I don't think it's dumb at all. Regardless of if it's a proper occasion or not, we all just want to feel appreciated and thought of by our partners. And little things like that speak volumes. My SO and I won't be together on V-day, but I'll be visiting him the following weekend. We'll be going to a nice dinner to make up for not being together, but I have no clue if presents will be involved. It's not something you can really discuss in advance without it being painfully awkward, so I'm just taking things as they come. I got him a little something and a card that I'll give to him when I see him on the 19th. Even though you shouldn't have any expectations and that, in our case, gifts were never discussed, I admit I'll still be upset if he didn't think to get me a little something, but I think that's only natural.

MissKnowitall Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Much to my shock and amazement, he brought up the idea of spending a romantic weekend together for Valentine's Day. Technically VD is on a monday but we will hopefully spend that weekend together. I am so excited, we haven't seen each other in a while. I'm nervous actually. A few weeks back I was looking at the calendar and hoping that we could get together on that weekend but before I could bring it up, he did! My jaw dropped to the floor. He is hard to read sometimes but when he does stuff like this then it is very reassuring ya know? Link to post Share on other sites
