ryan89 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Cliffs: -Been with this girl for about 3 weeks (we've met in person 3 times) -Has gone very well, great convo and lots of PDA (especially the last time), all that stuff when we meet. We clearly have the chemistry. -We chat (usually text because of work) every day -She is a lot of fun to be around and likes to go out at night, bit of the partying type, etc. But she is also into stuff like the bachelor and whatnot, so I am assuming she is the romantic type. Also an athlete (avid tennis player). -I will be out of town on the 14th because its my dad's bday on the 15th, so this will have to be the 13th. -In 24, she's 23. What should I do/get for Valentines Day? I was thinking very simple like a card and then take her out to do something fun like outdoor ice skating or something like that. Let me know if y'all need more info. Thanks!
CherryBlossom200 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Personally I wouldn't get her a card, I would just take her out. The ice skating sounds lovely really romantic, then take her out for dinner afterwards 1
newmoon Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 way too soon imo for anything. plus, you have a free pass to do nothing since you'll be away that day. just a phone call/text on the day you're gone.

You think even a card is too much? I was thinking of a very simple card, it wont have the "L" word in it or anything like that.
pyramid Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 A card is perfect. Last year, I'd been on about 3 dates with a guy when V-day hit. We went to lunch, I gave him a card and he made me cookies (they were terrible... which was charming!) It didn't last, but it's a sweet memory. If you do nothing she's gonna be disappointed.
mammasita Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 3 weeks and not "official" I think a card is too much.....but candy is always good and non-committal. Pick up a cute little box of sampler chocolates....not heart shaped, just something fun.
MidwestUSA Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 You think even a card is too much? I was thinking of a very simple card, it wont have the "L" word in it or anything like that. No 'L' word. Maybe something with Charlie Brown/Snoopy. Keep it light. But definitely take her out. Ice skating sounds awesome.
soccerrprp Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 If you do nothing she's gonna be disappointed. Yup. A simple dinner/outing and a single rose w/ or w/o a card sounds okay.
d0nnivain Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 A simple card that says Happy Valentine's Day but nothing more & a small gift would be perfect. I'm thinking a $10 box of candy or a heart shaped donut from Dunkin Donuts. Nothing lasting. . .if you know what I mean. The skating date with handholding is perfect!
KathyM Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I think a nice card and a bouquet of flowers would be nice. Then take her out to a nice, but not expensive, restaurant. Leave the ice skating for another day. JMO My husband gave me flowers after our first date, which I thought was very charming and romantic. It's not too soon for flowers. A card is not enough for Valentine's Day for someone you want to develop a romantic relationship with and have been seeing for a few weeks already.
d0nnivain Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 stay at home and play video games.... card / dinner / and flowers are too much for 3 weeks To each their own but if I knew that my new guy was going to be out of town on Valentine's Day but he thought it was OK to ignore the holiday . . . not even acknowledge it with a token, that relationship would be over before it really began. Even in the college, in the early stages of a relationship -- maybe 5 weeks in -- the guy bought me a heart shaped pizza when he invited me to his house to watch a movie. Women want romance. If a guy ignores Valentine's Day . . . even if it's a cheesy Hallmark holiday . . . more women are going to resent than then be OK with it.
MissBee Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Personally I wouldn't get her a card, I would just take her out. The ice skating sounds lovely really romantic, then take her out for dinner afterwards I agree. I'd save the card for when you know each other a bit more so that it is actually more meaningful. I'd keep it fun and light. Ice skating seems nice and you can grab a bite to eat/some dessert later. That seems perfect to me!
