Thread: V-Day Anxiety

My husband and I have an agreement that we don't do valentines day, we choose to try and do something romantic on our anniversary - prior to being married, the anniversary was the day we became a couple. Ocassionally one of us might surprise the other by doing something for valentines which is great because the other person wasn't expecting anything.

Some valentines days, Ive slipped a heart shaped chocolate into his bag/lunchbox, or a note in the car so he finds it when he goes to hop in the car. Another time I left in the lounge for him, a bottle of his favourite alcohol with a balloon tied to it. ive just done something subtle as I didn't want him to be embarrassed or feel bad as he wouldn't have planned or brought anything.

For our anniversary, either one of us - whoever is home first has set up a nice table setting in the garden, weve had fairy lights, nice music playing, a nice dinner and a bit of wine.
A night away in a nice hotel always goes down well to - you could present him with the booking details on Valentines day.
Flowers NO - I made the mistake of giving flowers to a guy on this 30th birthday - he thought I was a total nutter.
Popping out of a cake when he arrives home in a sexy outfit - maybe?

Whatever you do, don't do anything spectacularly soppy to him in front of his workmates - not good. Keep it to the privacy of your own home!

I totally agree with the above. Maybe a bottle of champagne or good wine with a note that says how much your time with him has meant to you and how you look forward to getting to know him further!

I am a hopeless romantic so I actually made something for him. I know it's totally corny but I always do little things for him to make sure he knows just how much I love him.

This year I made him a puzzle. Cheezy, yeah probably but I know he'll love it. It's a heart puzzle and in each square I wrote something that I loved about him and put other things on it. I'm actually really excited about it.

I did stress at first about what to do. I wanted to buy him something but he told me not to because of how bad the economy is and my current financial state. On top of that he is a little anti Valentine's Day but in his heart I know he likes it.

Well, this year, I asked him what his favorite candy bar was and he said hershy, so I went to the hershy website and personalized a BIG hershy bar for him to arrive at his house this week, we are a long distance relationship because I am in the Navy, but I do get to come home this weekend, but he said his parents are making him watch his little sis. I am 20 he is 19. So, IDK, it is looking like we wont really get to spend much time together, but I guess we shall see, it might be a cover up for him planning something but I doubt it, V-day is his parents anniversary....hince watching his sis.

In the past I usually bake something and dress it up for V-day. Once I took my man on a "treasure hunt" in our city...Orlando, ending in me singing to him as a surpise at a local family restraunt..I called hte place before hand and set it all up, he was SO shocked.
