BrainRightHeartWrong Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 i understand Romantico, if you can't afford a gift wrapped mercedes for her put a lot of effort into something that you can just about afford make it something very personal to her if you know! i only ever had a gf once over valentines day and all we did was buy each other cards, no presents, no gifts, just spent the day together which was good enough for us! its a load of crap anyway!
startingover1028 Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Idea for a special date: Pick a place that you'd like the date to take place. (a park, restaurant, hotel, day-spa) Plan out what you'd like to do there. (picnic, eat dinner, make-love, be pampered) Then, make a tape recording of what steps she needs to take to find you ....waiting for her there. Leave the cassette in a player, where you know she will find it at the right time. For instance, if you plan a date at a hotel... make a tape recording telling her to pack something slinky ... and easy to get out of... and a toothbrush. Give her precise directions on how to get to where you will be waiting. Tell her to take the recorder with her in the car and maybe play some music she can listen to while she is driving or tell her sweet things about why you like her. Bring a bottle of wine... some candles... something lite to eat (cheese, fruit...) bring music and massage oils... It doesn't have to be at a hotel... The date can be anywhere... doing anything... the point is that you will have spent time thinking it through and making it special... that's what she will love about it. It will be a great surprise and by the time she gets to you, she will be receptive to just about anything......

I didn't realize you were 17... Skip the hotel idea and opt for the park....sleigh riding ... or ice skating... or something less intimate...
P1xie Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 It doesn't matter the cost. Pick a flower, spend the day with her, e-mail her cheesy Valentines Cards. It's the idea that you remembered her on Valentine's Day that will make her feel special. If you go to school with her decorate her locker with hearts and ballons. The guys may poke fun at you a little but she probably will love the attention.
BoatingBabe Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 romantico, I didn't realize you were 17, sorry......an e-card is a start and add some tender words of your own..and a box of chocolates so she knows you were thinkng of her...
newbie Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 When I was 17, my bf at the time got flowers delivered at where i worked part-time. I felt so special! Then he met me after work, and gave me my v day card. Then i went to his place and he made me a 3 course meal when he cant cook very well. But all the effort was so superb. If you can afford flowers getting delivered, ask someone to help you out. her boss the day before, or her mum placing them outside her door first thing in the morning. Best of luck!
Mz. Pixie Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 You could get three carnations (red) wrapped in green paper for little of nothing and a card. Get them before V Day or you won't get them. Take them to her. If you guys say I love you to each other say that the carnations stand for I LOVE YOU- three words three carnations. I have a friend whose husband once gave her a sweet card and a box of crayons with a note that said the crayons were because he couldn't color a picture of his life without her. I thought that was the xhit!
kanga Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Make it personal. Really, that's the important thing. My freshman year boyfriend -- I found him a book of something he really liked and wrote a message inside. I gave a picture frame and since we didn't have one of us, I drew a cartoon and placed it in the frame, obviously to be replaced when we had a photo. He gave me a dozen roses. It was nice. Very pretty. But a bit uncomfortable because I knew he spent much more money than he could afford at the time. So think simple; think personality. Unless she's materialistic and selfish and expecting to have a gift to brag about to all her friends -- like some bracelet from Tiffany's. I don't know what HS girls do these days.
