Here's something you might be interested in.
I guess referring to Valentine's Day as "VD Fever" sounds like something from Ted Nugent's 3rd solo album.
But I remember talking to an old childhood friend last year that said a guy showed up at her house with a huge arrangement of flowers, tickets for a cruise, and a million other things that scared her off.
Valentine's can be tricky. Some guys gripe and complain about it being some gimmick thought up by Hallmark and the Lifetime Channel (or is it called Oxygen now?)
To me, Valentine's, like all holidays, can be fun.
If you know the person you're dating, you can pick out things they'll like. If you don't have a lot of money, that's not an excuse. Whether you do something cliche like writing a poem, getting an inexpensive gift, or making something...if you know the personality of the person receiving the gifts, they'll enjoy it.
Although, I was going through a desk a few months back, and found some of those coupons an old girlfriend gave me. I won't say what the coupons were good for. But, they didn't have an expiration date on them. I was smart. I didn't try to redeem them. I just threw them out before the current girlfriend saw them.
And, what did I buy this one? A stuffed dog with a rose in its mouth. She's joked about wanting a dog so bad, but because of her work, she wouldn't be able to properly care for it. I wrote something in the card about that being a substitute until she gets the real thing. I got a stuffed skunk that says different things. It's an inside joke from a dream I had about a skunk that came towards us while we were sitting in the park. I ran away, while she got sprayed.
I also got her a Yoda bobblehead from Star Wars. She has a thing about Star Wars, which I got over when I was 10. She hasn't.
I would've given her chocolates, but then I would've eaten most of them. And I'm trying to watch my weight.
The greatest thing about her is...had I said "I don't know what to get you," she would've said "Save your money. I don't neeed anything." And she would've meant it. But guys, if you say this, you're really jerks. It's not that hard to put out a little effort to make your woman happy.
And don't ask her what she wants. You really think she's going to tell you "That dress I saw at Nordstroms, dinner at the place you always complain is too expensive. And flowers sent to my work, so the woman in accounting I hate can get jealous."
