Valentines Day...Just for Girls?

    Hey Guys and Girls

    Just wondering what your thoughts are on how to make Valentines Day special for the Boyf as well?

    Was hoping to take him out for dinner as I got the impression that he was getting me flowers, but now he's gone and booked a table!

    Everything out there seems targetted at a female audience, and sorry if I seem a bit old fashioned but I'd feel like a bit of a plonker showing up at my boyfs gaff armed with flowers and chocs for him :/

    Any guys out there remember any good valentines day treats they received?

    A weekend away if you can afford it?

    It depends on what he's into really but I think if you're a happy couple then a night in with just you, pizza and a bottle of vodka/wine/whatever would be enough.

    Its definitely more a day for girls to be spoiled, guys arent pushed about what they get tbh

    JUst for girls??? i would say just for retailers..its another example of the evil of marketing people and how they make things more difficult for everybody....used to be you would just get card(maybe flowers) and i bet even that wasa pi$$er for blokes in the 50's or whenever hallmark started this sh!t.... now your missus wont be happy unless your taking her away for the weekend...what the fack is going on?

    Break up with him on the tenth, and then realise your mistake on the 14th and get back with him. He'll be delighted, albeit relative to how he felt beforehand.

    My boyfriend will be working Valentines night, so I wont see him :( . If I could spend it with him, I'd take him out for dinner before retiring to a posh hotel for the night.

    This one speaks the truth. You can enver go wrong with a corset, and stockings ;) especially the lacey kind!!!

    isn't "international steak and blowjob day" coming up soon?

    come on ladies, you know you want to treat your men:p

    /edit

    14th of march apparently
    should give you all enough time to pick out a juicy steak

    Yea gift doesn't have to be romantic. Concert tickets, dvd, video game, clothes, whatever.

    My gf took me out to dinner last year but looks like he beat you to that.

    And yea the sexy underwear is always a winner.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 661 ✭✭✭CountryWise


    why i think TMAN is right, international steak and blowjob day is coming up soon, Hallmark havent really marketed that one yet though!

    Actually, I hadn't thought of the underwear thing, that's an idea...

    I was going to get him roses or something like that...already got him a teddybear before so I won't do that again :D

    Unless they're the chocolate kind I wouldn't. A guy wouldn't appreciate roses. The money you spend on roses would be better spent on something else imho.

    I got him a rose before and he was VERY happy about it, apparently he's not too used to gifts.
    He tried to dry it out and all.
    Don't worry, I know him well enough to know what to get.

    And the underwear idea is sounding the best :D

    why is it lingerie sucks so much latley:confused: women have great figues yet it looks like no one in fashion knows how to exploit it, the gear in the link is alright but its nothing to write home about. its ment to illicit a sense of mystery and femininity yet some of that stuff looks , well , tacky:(
    worse, some of it looks like swimwear:D
