Valentine's Day

[Scurvy]

Contrary to popular belief, i know that a handful of the trench wars community is currently involved in some sort of romantic relationship. I'm trying to think of a wallet-friendly way to do something not too horribly cliche this thursday. what do you all have planned?

We're Going to Disney World in a few weeks so going to a hotel isn't financially possible.

Rent a movie she'll like, go out and purchase all the ingredients you'll need to make her a fantastic dinner, get some wine and just pay extra special attention to her. Wear something decent, jeans work as long as you wear a dress shirt or something relatively similar. Spend the extra five minutes making yourself look good, she'll notice it and appreciate the effort. Eat Dinner, watch the movie and cuddle, serve desert and hopefully if you played your cards right she'll bang you senseless.

always, always make her a valentine. It seems a lot sweeter and looks good on your part that you actually took the time to make her one instead of wasting money on a card.

Other ideas, but also can be incorporated into the date, go for a walk, if there's a lot of nice parks out and the weathers suitable then just hold hands and spend twenty minutes outside enjoying each others company. Visit somewhere that has a lot of romantic significance, don't make it too corny but girls do like to know that we have some recollection of our relationships.

pay attention to her
wear something decent
cook her dinner
rent a movie
make her a valentine
go for a walk or somewhere with romantic significance

Do these six things and you'll be fine.

I'm glad there are more than a handful of guys willing to cook for their ladies, a few lessons or trying out some recipes will take you a long way.

I always seem to end up meeting a new chick with less than a month before valentines day, so I almost never actually "celebrate" it with them. I've done the day after and this year it might be the weekend after, but not that accursed day with high expectations riding around.

I got duped into doing V day with a chick I dated for 3 weeks, what a waste of time. It destroyed the entire relationship, we took it too serious too soon. Anything under three months isn't worth celebrating.

+1 on cooking

If you can cook at all, otherwise learn how, then whip her up some fantastico spaghetti. Makes for a nice (and relatively easy) romantic dinner. You can get all the ingredients for a good spaghetti for less than $20 too.

For me, it's kind of our two-year anniversary and valentines day in one, they're close so we kind of celebrate them together. I took my girlfriend to see the Foo Fighters last weekend, and in return all she has to do is take me out to dinner. Sure I will end up paying more, but overall I think it's a pretty good way to celebrate.

im thinking about breaking up with this girl im dating and going out with another one i just met... valentines is thursday and this girls birthday is on the 15... friday...

don't do anything, it's such a commercial bullshit of a day, I wouldn't do anything on the principles alone. I generally turn off my phone and don't talk to her on valentine's. Makes her appreciete me more on other days of the year

Our idea, well my idea. was to cook her dinner have some wine, watch a movie give her her pressent and just.. hang out. Give her a massage! But we're going to cook together now, since she didnt want to wait all the time while I was cooking, but I guess cooking together is even more fun. I bought these chocolate blocks (4x12) with text on, its pretty neat.

Might go buy like 20 roses to decorate her front port at night, so when she wakes up she will see it.

Yeah! Fight the system!

/sarcasm

Anyways, beside the sarcasm, I agree with you about the commercial hype. Yet, the idea is nice.. to show you care on that day. It doesn't have to involve buying stuff...
We're gonna cook at home and drink some good wine and pass out before 11.

[Facetious]

we both think valentines day is kind of stupid but im ordering a heart-shaped pizza to her work because its the lamest gift ever and then i imagine we'll go out to dinner or something

One foolproof, at least for me so far, plan is to figure out some of her favorite foods, and then cook it for her (or with her) to the best of your ability. The key step is figuring out what her favorite foods are, as opposed to what you think you'll be good at cooking. Make sure you knead some dough together. Maybe that'll lead to sticky kinky sex on the kitchen floor. Maybe not. Maybe you'll just end up fucking yourself.

edit: OR maybe you can scope out a romantic place to take her near where you are, and set something up there (candles, wine/cheese basket, etc) but that's a bit hard because of the damned february weather.
