Valentines???

tikkoie · 13-02-2004 02:37PM #1

Im going out with boyfriend for nearly a year...he just rang me from work to tell me that he has no time to buy Valentines present, is it silly of me to be annoyed over this

SheroN · 13-02-2004 02:39PM

yes.

angelofdeath · 13-02-2004 02:40PM

no, he should make time, lazy git

hedgetrimmer · 13-02-2004 02:41PM

Why is he only buying it today?

He's probably stressed, but you have the right to react. Tell him that you can do something nice together tomorrow, and see what his response is. Tis not about prezzies, tis about celebrating your romance

seamus · 13-02-2004 02:41PM

Yes, yes it is silly.

What did you buy him?

Johnny Versace · 13-02-2004 02:44PM

Yes, it is silly.

Do you really need Valentines day to let you know your boyfriend loves you? Understand us man hate this commercial Valentines crap.

maybe he feels under pressure to get something bigger than a teddy and cholate flavoured balloons?
I got my valentine present last night - a 4MegaPixel camera, cost more than my monthly rent. I'll be buying her present on Saturday, and shall be trying, quite easily, to avoid spiralling one-upmanship.

A belated present doesn't necessarily reflect an uncaring attitude methinks.

Don't stress it.

My own opinions, not reflecting the opinion of the corporation, the state or any religious sect.

tikkoie · 13-02-2004 02:49PM

i bought him a twister duvet cover and a cd.

he told me i was being vain for expecting a present

Kalina · 13-02-2004 02:50PM

If he doesn't get you anything at all then I think you have a right to be a bit ticked off. But wait and see, he will probably surprise you with something before Valentines is over. It doesn't matter what it is as long as he shows he cares.

SheroN · 13-02-2004 02:52PM

If you're good looking you should dump him and come out with me instead if you're not I wouldn't get getting too stressed out over gifts.

He'd better cross his fingers that you have this in mind, least he burst into your room with roses in the morning only to notice someone else in bed beside you

I was just going to say what smiras said. well the first paragraph anyway. U see if u dont think ur going to get something and then u do u will probably feel a lot better than if u new u were getting something all along.(dont blame me for ruinning a suprise on u, its smiras' fault

Way too much effort. What, is the 14th her birthday and your anniversary too?

She's getting a €50 bouquet of flowers delivered to her door tomorrow, and that's it. She's even paying for her own dinner. Valetine's is the biggest pile of bull**** ever invented.

(She's only getting the bouquet because it's worth €50 to save me from the hassle fo not buying them)

If you need a token gift on Valentine's day to know that he cares, the relationship isn't the best tbh

SheroN · 13-02-2004 02:56PM

sounds like the words of a cheap skate seamus. :eek:

You've been poisoned by their female propaganda.

UNCLEAN!!

Dr. Loon · 13-02-2004 02:59PM

Valentines Day was designed by Satan.

If you get annoyed because your partner didn't have time to buy you a present or because he thinks it's the biggest pile of shít, commercial, money grabbing, bástard day in the world (cept Christmas)... then you are as shallow as... as eh... a very shallow puddle full of dirty water.

A 4mega pixel digital camera!?!? What is the world coming too.... buying love eh? Interesting.

Can ye guess that I'm not in good humour?

I agree, you shouldn't need a gift if the relationship is strong. I just think it's a nice gesture.

so why buy the flowers then seamus?

valentines is a pile of poop and i dont want/expect anything. i dont waste my money on a commercial holiday, why should he?

Indeed. I think there are far too many women though who would get in a huff over a handmade (i.e. photoshopped) personal card because it wasn't expensive enough.

Birthdays and anniversaries are for showing you care, because they have some significance, instead of a randomly picked day sometime in February

so why buy the flowers?

(She's only getting the bouquet because it's worth €50 to save me from the hassle fo not buying them)

You can love someone, but you can't change them, she's an old rosemantic.

Seraphina · 13-02-2004 03:24PM

well then as you agreed with Kalina, the relationship must not be too strong since she apparently 'needs' a gift.

think about it!

No, now you're twisting my words

There are two scenarios here; I tell her to f*ck off, don't buy the flowers, and she's a bit disappointed, but says nothing about it. A week later it will have made no difference, but it'll be a cold week.
Secnario two; I buy the flowers, she fakes the unexpectedness, and I get a hot week.

As much as I bitch about Valentines, it's worth it tbh

DUX · 13-02-2004 03:41PM

He hasn't got time to buy you a present? Bull****, if somebody wants to find the time can find the time. You should dump him and come out with me.... I have no plan for tomorrow yet, so this is your lucky day

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein (H.Jackson Brown)

Lump · 13-02-2004 03:45PM

If you're that shallow, well then keep the gift you bought him. Problem solved.

john

tikkoie · 13-02-2004 03:56PM

im not shallow..i just think he could make some effort

Dr. Loon · 13-02-2004 04:01PM

Effort for what? A bullshít day which is all about spending? I think you're shallow.

PrecariousNuts · 13-02-2004 04:05PM

Lump · 13-02-2004 04:45PM

In britian they spend over 500 Million pounds on valentines day..... Donate some money to charity, the heart foundation. Stop a real heart from breaking.....

John

P.S. There was an ad on tv just as I replied to this freaky!

P.P.S PrecariousNuts Nice one.

Doodee · 13-02-2004 05:43PM

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 13-02-2004 05:47PM
