D-day is coming, we, gentlemen, have to plan out the whole action plan way in advance. As we are all very serious people here, I guess I wanted to start this thread so we could share strategies, tips and tricks. I'll be spending the weekend in the company of someone. We arent an item, our status is just.. unconfirmed as we speak. My only plan of action right now is having flowers delivered to her workplace (I'm actually going to inquery about having them delivered by a dude in a gorilla suit, just for the sake of the :lol omgwtf :lol factor of a gorilla showing up to her at ehr workplace with balloons and flowers while she's busy selling something to a client )

Since i'm such a shitty writter, I had to resort to using google for inspiration for the text in the card. I just cant come up with my own stuff, it sounds cheesy as hell. Anyway I got some pretty good poem, she'll love it.

What about you guys?

We're both poor right now and have evening classes on that day sooo...Sunday will be our Valentine's Day. *shrugs* Go for a walk, read together, watch a movie, go for a drive...the usual stuff. Valentine's Day is a sham anyways.

i have yet to ask my potential V-day date, although if i did, i have a feeling the night would be mostly a movie, drinking, and sex, not that that's a bad thing. i don't mind the occasional movie.

Been working on a girl for like a solid month now. I was supposed to take her out tonight but shit came up. She can still be my Valentine I guess, I'm sure she likes me it's just that we have bad luck.
 
this is what i did last year. OK get a huge ass *cook book. Wrap it up in nice wrapping paper really fancy looking and then give it to her while saying some romantic shit.

Soon as she opens it and sees a fucking cook book just make kissing motion with your lips and point to the kitchen.



















*Ofcourse i also used and exacto knife to cut a hole in the cook book so that i could put the necklace i got her in it.

A bunch of friends are getting together to get drunk on someone's porch. I think I may hit on the girl organising it while I am on the porch after we are both drunk.

Here's my ultimate plan!!!!

Wait until Feb. 15 and get 75% off candy which I will horde and inhale for myself.

I think this is a great plan, full of wanton self-satisfied son of a bitchery. And candy for myself.

My V-day plan: get drunk alone in my apartment and masturbate while I cry myself to sleep like I do every Feb. 14th! :p

Go down to the drugstore, and buy one of those huge-ass helium balloons that's shaped like a heart. Buy a card too.

Then, go down to Mail Boxes, Etc. and get a Huge Box that will hold the balloon.

Insert balloon.

On card, write:

"I knew you'd be thinking about me all day on Valentine's
day, so I wanted to give you something to distract you."

Insert card.

Place in the mail to her.

This is good for those who aren't a couple, but you still want to do something for her.

Several ideas that have worked in the past:

1. A dozen roses. Remove one of the roses and replace it with a really, really, really good fake rose. Attach a card which reads "I'll love you untill the last rose dies." Not so good right away, but the delayed reaction is worth waiting for. TOTAL COST: About 30 bucks.

2. If you're really feeling industrious (and can think of a lot of good things about your SO), you can make a deck of 101 cards and a case for them, which reads "101 Things I love about you". Read them together whilst sipping champagne on the bearskin rug in front of the fireplace. TOTAL COST: Maybe 5 dollars and a few hours.

3. Victoria's Secret gift certificate. For some reason, women can't get enough of that shit. TOTAL COST: Anywhere from 25 to 200 bucks, moneybags.

Ahh, Valentine's day's coming up. Again. I will see tons of pink and red flyers that will mean shit to me. My mom will bring me those cinnamon hearts like she does since about 15 years ago every valentine' day. Of course, most of all Valentine's days, I'm alone, and it doesn't helps the spleen I have with the lack of a female sweetheart. How about Valentine's Day support for those poor lonely peons? ;)

Most every Valentine's day I wrote poems, in either french or english, that will serve no purpose. But not this time, I'm fucking tired. But I tell ya, Verlaine, Rimbaud, de Ronsard, and all other famous english poetrists ain't got nothing on me. :lol

Such a waste...

Aw man, we are too.
Just paid out for shitloads of flights, wedding and all that. I'm gutted as this is the first Valentine's day with my wife and I like to splash out on her. I'm kinda used to having money. Not having it is really hard for me.
I guess I'll cok something (I'm a classic trained French cook) and buy her a card. I'd like to fly her off to Romer, Palermo, Paris or St Tropez for the weekend but it just aint gonna happen this year.
I feel for you dude.
:)

Wow, that is REALLY hokey. I wouldn't want to be with a sap that would do something like that.
 
for valentines day i will surprise my girl with a dinner cooked by me.

i prepare a nice Rare filletstake, ovenbaked potatos served with a homemade peppersauce.

i will use a classy Redwine to wash it down with.

for dessert i will prepare something called "strawberry al a Ramanov"
its strawberries mixed with alittle vodka,lemon and sugar. i heat it up abit in a pan and put it in a suger topped glas.

lets hope she likes it

and of course i will give her roses

roses, roses...



Mignonne, allons voir si la rose
Qui ce matin avoit desclose
Sa robe de pourpre au Soleil,
A point perdu ceste vesprée
Les plis de sa robe pourprée,
Et son teint au vostre pareil.

Las ! voyez comme en peu d'espace,
Mignonne, elle a dessus la place
Las ! las ses beautez laissé cheoir !
Ô vrayment marastre Nature,
Puis qu'une telle fleur ne dure
Que du matin jusques au soir !

Donc, si vous me croyez, mignonne,
Tandis que vostre âge fleuronne
En sa plus verte nouveauté,
Cueillez, cueillez vostre jeunesse :
Comme à ceste fleur la vieillesse
Fera ternir vostre beauté.


Ronsard rules :)

I'm writing a fairly long and complex poem for my not-girlfriend. It's been something I've been doing for her as gifts for a while now. She really seems to appreciate it.

Funny story: It all started when after a month of seeing each other I sort of broke it off with her with a poem (last september). Horribly bittersweet moment for her. The poem was really good and spoke highly of her but of course it declared the end of any romantic relationship. Afterwards she said she said that now there was no way I could write her anything romantic. I took that as a challenge and have written her about 6 poems since then. Obviously I have really strong feelings for her and it's been pretty easy writing... but because there are no expectations it comes off as a that much more of a gift.

Yeah, kind of pathetic but there are no other prospects (yet) and I enjoy making a close friend feel special. And all it costs is hours of effort and long, sleepless nights.

I think I owe it to her as she's been my inspiration for finally starting to write. I've had ideas and slight pangs of motivation in the past years but she's been the only one to truly support me and push me into getting things down on paper.

Of course, it'll have to stop whenever she does get a boyfriend.. but I think that'll end up working in my favor ;)
 
Well, I'm taking my lady to a different restaurant this year. Seaside view, 4 course meal (available on Valentine's Day), roses delivered to the table, as arranged, and wine if she wants it. Now that I'm financially stable again, it's nice to be able to thank her for being who she is, and for sticking around.

Not that I have any ideas for Valentine's Day anyway........ :-/

No experience huh?

At least you're not demon's spiritual brother in these threads anymore. Unfortunately, I am.
