-]TooL[-

Insomniac
a bowling ball, Homer stylez!

Bad Egg
Pick up your lady at work in a limo(for those who don't know there are much extra bonus points to be made for those who make such displays of affection in front of your ladies coworkers) and get driven to a nice hotel, preferably with a nice suite(tub,etc.) and add whatever food and party favors you like.

PS: For once, leave the car at home;)

and if your SO doesn't work on saturday?

Bad Egg
Feb 14 starts at midnight...why not do it Friday?

I didn't check the calender to see what day it falls on this year. I know that my being with my SO for a long time is no excuse. :dunno:

buzzed
overrated...imo....why do i need one day to blow more money
as is now i buy flowers once or twice a week take her out for supper or movies. but now on the one day i gotta do better than i have all year....and how come its always us guys having to spoil the ladies why not have them show us that we are appricated???
i have never had a woman show that i am appricated for all i do.

yes i am pissed off

Scintillater
if you've never had a woman appreciate you back...then you've had shitty women imo. hahah.

i have fun on valentine's day. it's not a bad thing...it's sorta like christmas, and yes it's sort of commercial...but who cares? isn't your sig other worth spending the extra time and money? i always do something for my sig other. it's not a one way thing.

Insomniac
oops, i never bought my GF a xmas present so it looks like the Valentine's one is going to have to wait till june or july, except that's her B-day.

DAMN!!!!

Scintillater
^ you are a bad man. ahhaah.

Casanova
hauhaha nice

Insomniac
In all fairness I bought her some little gifts, although I wanted to get her something bigger, except she couldn't decide on what she wanted. She told me last week what she wanted, and I'll be picking it up this week:beer:

I believe the canadian version of this is on the 20th of march

read up on it here

:bthumbup: :bthumbup: :bthumbup: ok i feel better now :fingersx: :read: :drool:

Scintillater
interesting...i don't REMEMBER posting a thread about "bitch about your bad experiences and feelings about valentine's day." i'm PRETTY sure i asked about activity and gift ideas....

Insomniac
such rage...

I would recommend: nothing

Just a spending the weekend together would be enough from me

Scintillater
not asking for NOTHING...asking for LISTING ALL IDEAS. perhaps I am not the only one who could benefit from other people giving ideas, so it'd help others who are also stumped.

Insomniac
yeah, well than your asking the wrong people. most of the people here are dating there car:dunno:

Scintillater
^ haahahaha true that.

buzzed
fine ...you need ideas...
lets start wirth a nice walk through the schokter theater
**bring picnic basket** have a nice little time at the top follr where the little pool is with all the plants. see how that goes.

another idea is make her a nice meal at you house candles the whole nine yrds. Go to a Panda flowers(they have colored roses)get som unique roses(purple ,blue, something diffrent)(order ahead of time). rent an old classic movie like cassablanca, love story, same time next year, something old .let her know you appricate her.

what else can a guy do in this weather w/o spending a huge amount.........

suprise her by taking her out of edmonton, drive an hour to red deer and take her out for something diffrent.

high school
umm... very common, but a classic. Dinner at a nice restaurant, go back to somebodys place, cuddle up on the couch. My GF loves that, mostly because she doesnt get to eat at nice places very often, and shes quite happy to cuddle up on a couch.

Scintillater
origins of valentines

ran across this:

Scintillater
^ a lot of those are good ideas. too bad a lot of them are outdoors things which in edmonton, or rather, most of canada, we can't even do during valentine's, unless you enjoy being in a huge bundle of clothing, barely able to see or walk. ehhehe.

eeebowlahhh
well edmonton right now is great.. it's perfect weather to be outside.. just dirty as hell.. but if your not scared to get wet then it's a good idea. :D

Scintillater
well...i'm all set...but i can't TELL you guys what i'm doing, or else the sig other might read this thread ;)

Insomniac
pm me!

I'm flat out of ideas!

arcangel
Nice earrings would work. And din-din too!

Scintillater
hey chris, sorry about that. i didn't read this thread until yesterday. hope your valentine's worked out for you.

Insomniac
no! my gf was like "so what are we doing" and i didn't know what to say so i pretended like i had a really bad flu and went home

i'm single now but i with my free time i managed to beat this video game i've been meaning to, and i've been building up my collection of hand painted clay ogres!

D&D 4 LIFE!

VerbotenZ34
ROFL! Sorry man, it was just such an off-the-wall story I had to say that.

Verboten

badger

Scintillater
D&D - dungeon and dragons.

Chris. tell me you're kidding.

Caly ogres that sounds interesting. What do they look like, and how much do you charge??
