My wife and I are just buying each other cards

It's a total waste of money in my opinion to go overboard

When I hear all these commercials they almost guilt you in to buying something

The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill

    Me and the boyfriend don't bother with it. Don't really see the point we don't need a specific day to tell each other how we feel.

    Dusseldorf 21/06/07, Manchester 17/08/09, London 18/08/09, LA 06/10/09, LA 07/10/09.

    Ain't gonna be any middle anymore.

    nah, we don't even do cards anymore... i'll still expect my weekly humping though :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    We're just going out for dinner. No gifts or anything, as far as I know...lol. We'll probably go somewhere very casual....we just want to relax and get out for a while. Basically, it is just an excuse to have grandma watch the baby so we can go out for dinner. :)

    ahhh, a romantic eh?

    We don't do Valentine's day either. Stupid day. Even if you tried to go out to dinner or something, everyplace is a cluster f. Better to just stay home.

    Just cards for us. V-Day is pretty pointless if you ask me. It means a lot more to be romantic on just any ordinary day than to do it on a day that you're FORCED to.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    That's how I feel

    It meant more I think when we were first dating and didn't see each other as much

    Same with us... My birthday is Saturday, so it seems kind of ridiculous to have two BIG presents/dinners out/etc... within 3 days, just because the calendar says we should...lol. Does that make sense?

    mine is on the 19th, not got anything planned yet just a couple of drinks. It sucks having your birthday on a weekday.

    I'm not big on Valentines Day, but two years in a row I've been scheduled for THAT doctor's appointment on 2/14. Talk about a mood killer. ;):p

    Ah, well. At least I remember the date of my last, ahem, exam.
    Walking can be a real trip

    Some years we do something for Valentine's Day, some years we don't. This year happens to be a year that we're not doing anything. I've always seen it as a waste of money and we're both feeling too lazy to actually do any shopping for it this year.
  • GreenTeaDiseaseGreenTeaDisease Posts: 3,359
    my boyfriend and I skipped it last year. both of us had birthdays the week before, and neither of us really got the point of it...we just watched a movie that night. no cards, nothing like that.

    we're going out to our favorite Thai place. Its super cheap but the food is awesome and then seeing Rent. We didnt plan to see it on valentines day, its just the day the tickets fell on. Other then that I might get him a card if I get a chance. We dong buy presents for valentines day. Its a forced holiday. I rather get a gift as a surprise any day then get something because he felt he had to.

    There's way more important things going on in my life to worry about valentines day.

    When we were long distance we used to do a proper V-Day, with the bed and breakfast, and so on. Now that we are married it's part of our one night a week out together. I know it's a contrived day just to make rich people richer, but it's nice to be reminded that someone you care about is around.

    my wife and I dont really do much

    I buy her the same box of chocolates from this ritzy shop in NYC
    and she buys me chocolate covered gummi bears

    no surprises, not a lot of cash-and I try to get home a little bit earlier than usual

    tis all

    i have a friend of mine who for 20 years has been feeding his wife the line....

    "i dont need hallmark to tell me i have to buy you flowers and roses on a certain day....blah blah blah"

    i never understood this....

    why not just buy some flowers...roses...a nice card....dinner..blah blah blah...and have a nice romantic evening?????
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    We are :)

    He leaves tomorrow morning for two days. We may catch a romantic breakfast on the way to the train station :)

    When I chose my man, I made sure I picked one who would be happy to be surprised with thoughtful gifts once in a while, but would not "expect" any.
    I try to reciprocate that virtue.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
