Valentine's Day Sucks!

[red_rose]

Okay, so maybe it doesn't really. lol But it's already causing me a touch of anxiety!

What do you do when you've been together for about 3 months? Present? Dinner? Wear sexy lingerie? I don't know what he's planning, and I don't want to ask for two reasons.

A) He likes surprising me and probably wouldn't tell me anyhow.

B) He may not even think V-day is a big deal.

Ick. lol (I should add that I have a sizeable commission check coming in on V-day and I know that he's been struggling a bit financially lately.)

I'm thinking I'll just pick up something sexy to wear under my clothes that Friday...and then maybe we'll do the typical dinner/movie thing.

What are you doing for your SO this Valentine's Day (if anything)? What did you do back when you were first going out?

I've lived in "Single Town, USA" for quite a while... I'm a bit rusty. lol

Be thankful you have someone

 

[Belilica]

Be thankful you have someone

I was just gonna say...

 

[red_rose]

Be thankful you have someone

I am. I'm very thankful.

 

[JaymesBlond007]

Shouldn't you just be happy that there is someone special in your life to spend that time with?



(late again...)

 

[Lasz]

I have never had a SO on valentines day, it is a curse!

 

[red_rose]

Okay, I guess I went about this all wrong...

... forget I said anything.

Sorry.

Single Town isnt so bad compared to what I've experienced outside the city limits

Boy, you must be a ball o' fun on V-Day. You get to celebrate extra; don't treat it like every other day. That's the point of any holiday.

RR, a basket of goodies is fun - naughty dice, massage lotion, champagne, feathers, candles, whipped cream, etc. Anything that you two enjoy. Red Envelope has some cool stuff.

Mr. Mischka and I love to cook, so we've frequently made a romantic dinner at home on V-Day. If money's tight, it's also a way to save a lot of money over the Valentine's "specials."

No matter what, just have fun.

 

[Nogard]

I would give anything to have someone to love again

More often than not, I feel the same way. Dating is scary. I hate dating.

Re: ...forget I said anything...

Don't be sorry. You're trying to make a special day that much more special, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I think everyone is just trying to let you know you're enthusiasm might be a little misplaced.

Whatever you decide will be perfect, I'm sure.

As always, Misch, you rock.

Thank you!

I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, but I've never been of the belief that it's stupid.

At the begining of a relationship I would try to make it as light and fun as possible. Romantic, but in a day at the zoo, night by a fireplace kind of romantic.

Oooo, yes cooking together is a really good one.

Yeah, the most important thing is to have fun. Do something that you can both enjoy together...and try to make it special, no matter what you end up doing. Enjoy each other.

No need to be sorry.. It's great that you are able to enjoy it with someone you love.

But having been from "single town" yourself, I think you can appreciate how the general single population feels when you say that V-Day sucks and causes anxiety when you have somene to share it with.

 

[watergirl]

red_rose, I'm with you...

dating is scary, sometimes. How fast to fall? How do I let myself fall for him? It's about trust.

I understand the point everyone was trying to make which is why I apologized and said that I went about this all wrong.

What most people were missing is that 95% of everything I post has a pretty healthy kick of sarcasm thrown in. Oh well. New faces, new responses, right?


Watergirl - You and I are on the same page exactly.

 

[Guest]

I am done with dating. I am convinced I wont find anyone.
But thats ok because I have my career to focus on.

 

[Pixie Mischief]

I'm pretty stuck with V day as well... long distance relationship and I dont know what to get him I am stumped.

red_rose -

yeah.. I'm not good at mind games. Give me a guy who'll say, "I want a friend I can fuck around with" - I'm good with that.

Or give me a guy who wants to take it slowly, and enjoy the anticipation and getting to know each other slowly, and deliciously. That would be even better, in some ways.

But what I have is the guy who is either unsure of which he is, or he's playing headgames. He needs a good swift kick in the ass, at this point. I don't have the patience for headgames.

Sighhh.

I think you should rent the video "Hockey's Greatest Moments" and feed him hotdogs, pretzels and beer while y'all pretend you're at a game.

my bf would be like uh?????? LOL
I think hes the only man who doesnt like sports!

 

[red_rose]

I'm lucky that mine doesn't exactly play headgames. And I can't say he's a bad communicator, because when he does communicate, he tells me what's on his mind.

It's just a matter of getting the ball rolling that seems to have me stumped at times. lol We're not quite at the second-guessing each other phase, but at times he seems to think we are. lol

The last time I cared this much for someone...I got dropped on my ass, so I guess I'm just a bit more cautious this time around.

Good luck, WG.
