So I'm supposed to take this girl out this week on Wednesday - and I was completely oblivious to the fact that it's Valentine's Day, until just now I realized it.

Pretty much I'm wondering if I should do anything Valentine-ish cause it isss Valentine's day?....even though I forgot I'm sure she's aware (aren't all girls all hooked up on Valentine's Day?)

any suggestions?

 

I didnt realize valentines was on a wednesday until 2 weeks ago

 

damn, thats a conundrum. I say get her some flowers and say you exactly what you told us, that you didn't realize it was V-day, but figured you'd get her flowers (or something, perhaps a box w/a hole..jjk) and say that you didn't want her to feel left out.


...she should melt, if not then you could say you don't think valentines day is special, cause you should spend everyday cherishing what you have, and the people in your life. Thats deep.

 

some flowers or maybe a box of chocolates. dont get a card or anything. very simple.

 

Errr...Don't apologize for having to give someone a gift -- it makes it very awkward accepting it! Could you be any more forward in telling him/her that you got it because you felt you had to, not because you wanted to?!

in a big way.

 

My initial thought was just a single rose...

 

Won't that make you look cheap? By a dozen, ask her to bring friends and have a thirteensome.

 

I don't think so...I'm not takin her to a diner or anything haha. But I'm a broke college student so in actuality I am cheap.

 

I like mastertl's suggestion..

 

haha that's pretty funny. strange coincidence. anyway, not sure if you should mention you didn't even realize it was v-day, she might have been happy about it, and you wouldn't wanna disappoint her

 

Yeah I've been wondering what to do with my girl on Valentines Day since she keeps dropping hints that she wants a suprise but then I have only been going out with her for 2 weeks so far, so its not even that big of a deal or is it...? Plus Im a cheap colege student too in between jobs at that.

 

LMAO, I hope you don't bring her out, Vday would be the worst day to go out. Everything cost more, and is packed Too much money on a first day, oh hell no....But she may feel a little more obligated to drop the panties considering it is Valentine's day..... I say stay away from eating out, maybe cook something at your place....Candles, Choclates, some cheap flowers from Safeway (supermarket) should get her done....

 

The single rose is a classy, nice touch, but not Red....pink or yellow. Don't admit forgetting about V'tines day

 

Who goes out during the week?

 

Who doesn't? Tuesday and Thursday are big bar nights....college thing I guess.

 

tuesday?...i thought it was thursday to saturday?

 

Cook her dinner. Simple as that. I would not go out. Dinner at your place is more romantic. Find out from mutual friends what types of food shes likes to eat, or ask her directly. A single new candle and a single rose (red if you want to get romantic) on the table when she walks through the door would impress her. It's the thought that counts.

Have some sort of small dessert too, and possibly a movie if you want to continue the night.

If this is your first date, the night has two prongs: you can find out more about her during dinner, and then you both won't have to talk during the movie.

If this is a first date, ask questions. Find out more about her. Talk to her and listen. If she is interested in you, she will ask questions about you. I've found that women, in general, like having questions asked about them from someone new (like a date).

Tell us how it went!

 

:killer:

Get her something for V day, don't be a tight ass.

 

I say keep it simple. Depends how long you know this person. If the duration is not long buy some flowers ( dont have to be roses ). Or keep it light and make an early night or and afternood if you could. Dont metion how you didnt know it valentines day it might put a hamper to your evening.

If all else fails you can get her " junk-in-a-box " if you dont know what im talking about im refering to an SNL skit where Justin Timberlake was hosting and singing a song ( looks like a music video ) about wraping your junk in a box ( with a bow and all ) and giving it to your partner. funny stuff.

 

Well yeah, but a lot of bars around me have college nights on Tuesdays too.


Anyway yeah I wasn't ever going to mention I didn't realize it was Valentine's Day..so I'm thinkin I'll go with the one rose and def some sort of candy (she's a candy fiiiiiiend) just gotta work on where exactly to take her. Should go well..I'll let you all know how it goes.

 

Don't get a rose, too cliche.

Get an ORchid.

 

It's not something worth over analyzing.

If you were going out to dinner, just take her to a spot with a V-day menu. There, V-day recognition over.

And if you do get her flowers don't get anything more than a single rose, it'll be too much. Not because she'll get weirded out by your flattery, but because assuming you don't know her too well, she's not really worth it yet.

You got a date in at a bad day . Just acknowledge it, do a couple simple (cheap) things to let her know you're not a piece of shit and that'll be that.

 

so how did it go??

 

It ended up goin really well and we've chilled a couple times since so I can't complain. Not much else to say cept it worked out ha

 

at least you realised it was V-day before it came up.

I didn't realise it was V-day till I hear about it on th radio at 2pm on wendesday.

Did you hit it?
