V-Day: s it's offtopic...what isn't? Oh and yes it's a poll, what'd you expect from ME?

[Melusine]

OK I saw this post a while ago where someone asked for tips on Valentine's Day. So now that the day is nearing...what are you guys going to do? And for the guy who asked tips: I already celebrated a sort of V day as yesterday my boyfriend and I were together for 2 years and we decided to put the two days together. So here's what I did: I made him ten vouchers which made his wildest dreams come true! I'll spare you the more lurid ones (wink wink nudge nudge say no more, say no more) but they also included things like a whole day of Excessive Pampering where I bring him breakfast in bed, cook his favorite meal, take him to a movie and he's allowed to play BG2 all day
So anyone else have cool ideas?
(Sorry if we had this thread before but I couldn't find it)

I'm sure Wah and Rikarda have all kinds of beautiful ideas for a Valentine's Day including two lesbians, a Pit Fiend and lots of chocolate eclairs...

Well Melusine, I bet your boyfriends happy =)
Well I have to say that I would be hardpressed to find myself a girlfriend if I´m to care about V-day... dum-dum-dum (sounds like a military term)
Good ideas, I (yes I too have been loved *sniff*) took my late gf to a romantic dinner, thoose dinner everybody knows is corny and traditionally but if you do, they can be very romantic espacially if it means going away for a couple of days and just take care of each other.

used this once, the other times there have been more or less romatic, least romantic would be "hey what the devil you say girl? Valentines day? already??? oups.. " Never end a line with oups, then you´re in big trouble!

Well hopefully there will be alot of good ideas, maybe could use em in the future or something.. Hope you have a good V-day though all thoose concerned..

My girlfriend's currently in Canada (and I'm in Sydney) so I'll be spending Valentine's day all by myself

[Melusine]

Oh that's too bad Memnoch! I feel sorry for you
Thank god there's internet, msn, sms, etc

Melusine could I have one of your vouchers please?

Back to the real world I am taking my wife to see her favourite band, A-ha, in concert in Norway next month. Believe me this is the ultimate sacrifice, as I think they were poor in their hey-day back in the '80s. This has left me so broke that on V day I shall have to be pretty conventional and go for flowers and meal, but I will try your voucher idea although it will have to be that I don't play BG2 all day.

i'm thinking of running and just hiding,which my wife will like even more than any attempt from me ,there is nothing more romantic a woman can say than this "we've been married for five years got two kids and a nice house out in one of the estates,and things are great ,but i just don't know if i want to stay married,i just want to find myself ,to see if your{that's me}the one i want to spend the rest of my life with
gee you know what i want to get her for V day how about something in LEAD,or maybe steel
any suggestions please feel free to drop me one

[Rikard_OHF]

I know something Melusine
Break up with your man and move to Apeldoorn
anyway
ehm a glow-in-the-dark stuiterbal is a nice thing to give if someone already has everything

Hellfire--
Don't know if you were kidding in your post, but what you described is what I just went through (except the two kids). My wife had that exact thought. "What if you(me) are not the one? I want to go find myself and see if we are truly meant to be together" Well that was three months ago and we still see each other on and off, but my V-day will be spent thinking of ways to make her miserable (Hey she made me miserable, so I have the right don't I)

My relation haven't been great,.............until I met Melusine's Pit Fiend. And guess what??!! I'm going to buy it a whole tub of chocolate eclairs for a Valentine Present!!

Before that it was a really cute girl who always seemed to be my ideal partner. She was just as bad as me and we used to trash the whole Home Studies room by squirting washing up liquid all over the school tables when the teacher's not around.

Sadly she moved to California and she never left me a message. Oh well, that was last year's valentine day memories. BTW - She did NOT dump me on valentines day!! GOD NO! That was the last valentines day I spent with her, then she left.

Anyway, I have Melusine's Pit fiend to keep me company then, it might look ugly but it doesn't give a shit whether you smell of roses or yesterday's beer glass. Ahhh, good thing it doesn't speak English or know how to use the internet! Otherwise it will be heartbroken from hearing this.

I'm so sorry to hear that Hellfire. All that bullshit about "is he/she the one?"
The whole point of commitment is that you're meant to say "Is he/she the one? Hmmm... oh well I made the choice - he/she WILL be the one."

Our 'perfect match' will at best only ever be another flawed piece of jigsaw puzzle that when it slots in, doesn't bend the cardboard too much

Mine broke down for different reasons, but my best wishes go out to both you guys. Know that you're not alone, it gets better and remember to notice the good in life. Hope things work out for you Hellfire.
