Sweetest Day coming up... I don't know what to do...

OK, so I know this girl, but we're not in a relationship or anything. But she knows I like her, and we're pretty tight.

I was wondering if I should send her a modest gift for the upcoming Sweetest Day. No love stuff, but maybe just a little teddy bear that say "To Someone Special" and a card? Do you think that would be OK without going too far?

On a 1-10 rating, one being just an acquaintance and 10 being someone I really love, I would rate her at about 6??

I don't know what to do. Therefore here I am asking the Relationship gurus of A-CL for advice.

Sweetest Day = October 16th (at least this year it is)

I don't know what the hell it is about exactly, but I think it's more of a filler, or a pre-Valentine's Day thing.

Well, taking her out is sort of out of the question since I'm in Michigan and she's in Illinois. And I can't make it down there this weekend since I have to work.


And tell me you know about the Sweetest Day, though. Seems like nobody else knows about it!!

Kyle's taking me rock climbing in Ann Arbor...I can guarantee he doesn't know what or when Sweetest Day is.

Edit: If you send her a stuffed animal, go to Build-A-Bear at Somerset, and make her one!

Yeah, so far, about 6 people have told me to go there. But I don't know jack about building a freakin' bear. I might just save that for another holiday and just buy a teddy bear.

Jen, tell me you know about the Sweetest Day. It seems like nobody else does!

You pick out an animal (bear, rabbit, horse, etc...), they stuff it, and add a red heart inside, and they can also add a little voicebox so the animal talks when you squeeze it. They sew the animal up, you pick out a ribbon or outfit for the the bear to wear. I think they print out a "birth certificate", put it in a box, and Voila! You've got a thoughful and original bear!

I'm not sure how much they are, I think it depends on how big of a bear you chose, and what you add to it...here's their site

i propose "Stoning Day"


This will be the day following Sweetest Day where real men stone to death the gender sell-outs who participated in Sweetest Day.


Give your girl a "sweet day" when you want... cuz you want... not cause Hallmark put it on the calendar for you.

First off, I'd recommend that you stop reading Cosmo. Then go find your balls, grab a 6 pack of cheap domestic beer and watch a couple of hours of sportscenter. Repeat the process until you're sure that you will never utter the word "Day" after the word "Sweetest" ever again.
