Lishy Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Hey all Another thread has got me thinking so I have started this one So if you are sharing your first Valentines day with your new lover what should you get each other? Should you make more effort the first valentines or not? Personally I think you should both go all out to make it a day to remember and I also think the guy should make the most effort
Krytellan Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 That is my situation. Been dating for 3+ months. I recommend getting some small things, but everything should have a meaning. That is, don't get items just for the sake of items, rather get items that reflect something you have discussed or had jokes about. My gf is an X-files freak, so I got her the Season 1 DVDs really cheap. Otherwise flowers and a home-cooked meal from me. Others might disagree with me, but I think the first should be very much gesture-based. Everything with meaning. It can getridiculous later
blind_otter Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I think your first v-day should be special if both of you are that sort of person. But I agree with the above poster, don't just buy stuff to buy stuff. Make sure that the gifts have meaning.
magichands Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 buy stuff I agree. And lots of it. It's the time-tested formula. Don't forget the decorative ribbon.
Krytellan Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I agree. And lots of it. Don't forget the decorative ribbon. Big red bows look especially nice on new cars
Pretty Fly Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 ...and I also think the guy should make the most effort I'm not saying I agree or disagree, I'm interested to know why you think this? What's the reasoning? What does it symbolise? If a relationship is a win-win relationship, what's the reward for his efforts?
magichands Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Big red bows look especially nice on new cars Can't argue with you, there. Enough to get anybody's engine running. And they get all excited about checking the level on their dipstick.
magichands Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 What does it symbolise? Love, I think. Or maybe worship. Either way, you can't go wrong with a box of chocolates.
Pretty Fly Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Love, I think. Or maybe worship. Either way, you can't go wrong with a box of chocolates. But why is it the guy who has to put more effort in (according to OP) to show he loves his girl? Why is it not even?
magichands Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 But why is it the guy who has to put more effort in (according to OP) to show he loves his girl? Why is it not even? Have you been living under a rock? Ask alphamale.
Art_Critic Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 But why is it the guy who has to put more effort in (according to OP) to show he loves his girl? Why is it not even? What in a relationship is ever even ?
riobikini Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 re: AC: " What in a relationship is ever even ?" Word. You try, and try, and try -and still there's always somebody slackin' or pullin' rank. -Rio
oh_what_am_I_doing Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 My gf is an X-files freak, so I got her the Season 1 DVDs really cheap. That would be the best gift EVER! Well either that, or perhaps a blow-up David Duchovny doll? X-files rules!!!
Pretty Fly Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 i love it when girls are into geeky stuff!!
MJTig Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 pet peeve why? why should the guy buy stuff for his girl? what does it prove and why do you not do the same for him? I am so tired of women whining that their s/o didn't do anything for them because it happens to be the 14th of February. Then seem offended when someone suggests they could have shown some token of affection towards their man, too. If your guy treats you well and does little things for you and you do the same, why is the 14th any different? Hubby and have always just gotten each other a funny card and said "love ya" with a kiss for Vday. We do little things for each other year round.
