One for the girls: What would you like most from your valentine?

vibe666 · 09-02-2004 5:01pm #1

lord knows most of us guys know nothing about what goes on inside a girls head, so maybe you can do some of your fellow ladies a favour and give us some hints about what would be popular in the way of things to get for you.

that way, maybe at least a couple of us might get it right, and get some brownie points to spend in the bedroom.

so far, my own prsonal plans for herself, are:

nice candlelit dinner (not sure if i should cook or take her out for this one, but i'll play it by ear closer to the weekend).
champage and strawbs for when we've done the dinner thing.
plenty of scented candles/incence around the place to se the mood.
some nice flowers (not roses, too predictable) maybe something like fresia's or something else with a nice smell to them.
also had planned on some nice fizzy bath balls from that smelly shop at the top of nassau st. (the one that almost makes you puke when you walk past it).
was thinking of visiting ann summers too just for a look see, but i know better than to go and buy her sexy underwear cos i'll only go and get something that looks good to me, but will most likely cut her to shreds! you never know though, there might be something interesting there!

any idea's from you girls on what you'd really like?

would have gone for the weekend in paris, but money's a bit tight for that at the mo, and it's much nicer from may onwards whenit's warmer. not really romantic when you've got snot frozen across your face!

I made a valentines card,

Roses are red,
Children like slurpees,
I have a std,
Can you guess what it is?

angelofdeath · 09-02-2004 5:11pm

Roses are red
Violets are blue
All of my base

Sleipnir · 09-02-2004 5:15pm

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Monkeys are ugly,
Can we have roaring-great sex now?

Who came up with "violets are blue" anyway
I mean, they bloody violet! that's why they're called 'violets' ferchrissake!

Roses are red,
Violets Are Blue
I know they're not,
But S-T-F-U

you should really get a present that will mean something to you and your girlfriend other than ideas given by strangers, get something personal to your gf and relationship

PrecariousNuts · 09-02-2004 7:02pm

Another classic to put on a card: We are so alike..... one of us is redundant

Burger King just brought out the Tex Mex Meal again.

This thread is going places.

Sarky · 09-02-2004 7:39pm

If I have the money, I might buy a tasteful, inexpensive Valentine's teddy.

And nail it to the front door by the head. I don't really like Valentine's day. Or the kids next door, for that matter.

I think this is class! If you have a nerd-bird at least.

dudara · 09-02-2004 9:01pm

Absolutely nothing. If any man went out and bought me a pink and red card and other useless sh**e, I'd run a mile. I've been going out with my boyfriend 4 years, and ne're a valentine's card/gift to be seen. Thanks be to f**k. At least I know he isn't corny.

Have some self-respect lads. Treat your girl right during the year, and you won't be under pressure now. If your girlfriend wants this kind of rubbish, you've got to question it. Is your relationship so devoid of emotion normally that you both feel the need to make a whoop-de-doo of it on this day?

blondie83 · 10-02-2004 12:06am

Vibe, I think what you've got sounds lovely, but be careful not to overwhelm the girl, unless she's the sort of person who gets really, really into things! Just act like it's any other date, albeit one with champagne/strawberries ect. And go for the dinner at home, it's much better, and much more intimate! A lot of girls feel a bit under pressure on Valentines day, cos they think that it's a really big thing, and that they have to start acting in a certain way for the night. Just put her at ease, and things will go fine. Good luck!

they don't exist, i've searched for many a year in vain

koneko · 10-02-2004 9:32am

Look harder lads, we're in hiding :rolleyes:

Just get her something she'll like. Not all girls are into flowers and romantic dinners. Buy her a pressie she'll like. I'd like broadband for valentine's day but it ain't gonna happen.

catspring · 10-02-2004 9:44am

firstly, are you guys talking about computer memory (which would be the most sacred of all gifts from a computer nerd) in the "all of my base" one? or am i completely wrong......
secondly, i think that if you want to be romantic on valentine's then don't spend money on corporate crap like those stupid big fluffy cards or teddy-bears holding little hearts saying i love you. those are really not impressive or in any way nice (imho).
this year i'm gonna make a card (i'm sure it'll be terrible coz i'm no artist, but it'll be hand made by me), have already written a (dodgey) poem and i may find/rustle up some other cheap suprise.
and i'm sure he'll do something equally nice and cheap for me

won't you mark???
as long as a couple respects each other and throws in the odd wee suprise during the year there's no need for extravagent pressies on valentines

koneko · 10-02-2004 9:55am

Hopefully in the next few days E4 will show the Esketch I submitted on friday that said all your base etc but they won't get it. Stupid E4.

catspring · 10-02-2004 9:59am

ah, i see. thanks koneko.
i was pretty far off the mark then. still quite like my own theory though....

vibe666 · 10-02-2004 12:28pm

she's a big fan of romantic gestures, and I do do stuff occasionally to make her go 'aaaaah' but i just thought I'd make an extra effort this year, as I don't usually make a big deal of it and she won't be expecting it. only thing is I didn't get paid yet, which I should have, so I dunno if the cash will be there for it.

D'oh!

rymus · 10-02-2004 12:48pm

ahh koneko, I'm sure theres a guy out there with a spare T1 line just waiting for you to come into his life.

As for myself... a bottle of chianti and a packet of custard creams is all the preparation I'll be doing. I'd have to agree with a previous poster who said something along the lines of valentines day is just a big waste of time. Grand if youre only with someone for a few months and want to roll out the big guns but not for us old gits that have no need to impress the loves of their lives.

Saviour_Angel · 10-02-2004 1:16pm

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I'm so horny,
And wanna screw you !

bug · 10-02-2004 1:37pm

I thought base was speed....anyways

If I have the money, I might buy a tasteful, inexpensive Valentine's teddy.

And nail it to the front door by the head. I don't really like Valentine's day. Or the kids next door, for that matter.

rofl ...class

simu · 10-02-2004 3:42pm

I don't do Valentine's, I think it sucks but there's not much point buying stuff for a person that the person could just buy for themselves anyway - how about trying to see how many orgasms she can have in one day?:)

you completely read my mind .... in fact that was gonna be my exact post .. .weird.

n e ways.... back on topic

Red Roses ... If you don't get them on valentines day ... you never will

failing that .. a trip to the zoo.... at night ... break in .. it would be deadly .. and so romantic!

Unless you end up in the lion or polar bear enclosure.
That would be a definate romance killer.

KlodaX · 10-02-2004 4:09pm

yeah but then he gets to come to her rescue! *hopefully* ... turning him into a hero ... and the most rememberable and romanic valentines ever!

failing that you could become a masseur for the evening! ...

Good luck getting a table this close to the day.

Deadwing · 11-02-2004 1:19am

Psshaw.
All a woman wants on valentines day is for you to be romantic. Watch and learn:

"Oh baby. When i first saw you i got that old fashioned romantic feeling, when id do anything to bone you".

"I love you so much, i love you with all my heart, all my soul, and all my..you know *looks down*"

"Ill just pop upstairs and scrape off the sheets"

This stuff is GOLD guys!!!

I tell ye wha... Oi luvs livvin on de edge!

Seraphina · 11-02-2004 11:14am

pffff what good are stupid fluffy teddies and flowers which are just going to die?
thats nice, my love for you is as fleeting as the lives of these poor plants. look at them wither and fall apart.

if i didn't already have broadband, my laptop and my wireless network stuff i'd probably want something along those lines for valentines day, just as an excuse to get something. but tbh its all a waste of money, and i know i'll probably be too tired after work on friday to do anything but sit in with a movie and few joints and some munchies.

mmm

Macseamusa · 11-02-2004 12:07pm

im going to risk a waiting list.... if that fails its bugger king :eek:

a spliff or 'one of those marryana cigarettes' as me grannie used to say.

wandered into ann summers the other day just to see if they had anything interesting to inspire me, and i just about got jumped on by this shop assistant. couldn't have been more than 20. after showing me lots of uncomfortable looking lacy underwear she gabs me by the arm and in a loud voice says 'has she got a vibrator?' well in earshot of the half dozen or so other guys shuffling around the place doing what i was doing.

was kinda lost for words and told her i'd come back later. bit of a shock to say the least. probably would have been ok if i'd known it was coming, but she was so loud and so abrupt it caught me by surprise.

tinkerbell · 11-02-2004 9:01pm

All that matters on Valentine's Day is that you're with the one you love. I think the media have ruined it, turning it into this huge commerical thing. A single rose is perfect (and it doesn't have to be red). Tiz the small things that count, not major extravagant things that make you seem like you're trying to buy somebody's affection.
