Soooooo.....Where are you all taking your girlfriend/boyfriend?

What have you bought them?

If I say that will spoil it! :P
I let myself be appalled by the big pink and red wall of cards in Clintons and after much deliberation (1 minute) selected a card.

Do guys like cards?...I know my male friends are disparaging towards the card buying thing even on birthdays and Christmas as its all a bit "girly" but I bought one anyway!

I dunno I think guys are harder to buy for cos you cant really give em the old chocolates and flowers and fluffy teddies thing :rolleyes:

That is so true. Guys are so difficult to buy pressies for. It would make my life so much easier if I was a lesbien. Hehe.

not a clue.. i dont even know where to start!!

me and a m8 are supposed to bo going to look for something to get next week.. but i can see that is going to be difficult.. as we have other plans aswel! :P

Ok.. carry on... :P

Haha at martin_s!

You wouldn't believe the hassle chris and I have ad trying to get a table for valentines...

First we tried Trattoria Romana, they wanted a £5 per head to confirm the booking and would only let us choose from a set menu (about £25 or so)

Secondly Chris telephoned BB's...They said we could only go at 5.15 - now who goes anywhere at 5.15??!!

Thirdly, Chris telephoned Piccolos and they told us it was another set menu around £23 and wanted £10 per head to confirm the booking... Cheeky you know whats!!!

So finally, Chris had the face on that so many people were making a mint out of valentines day and that we couldn't get a table anywhere decent... So I crept upstairs and rang BB's for the second time and got us a table around tenish... No set menu, no booking fee, just bring your bottle as usual!!!

As for presents, I know what I'm having from him as I have picked it! (hehe) and I know what I'm getting him but I won't say as he'll probably read this thread!

My girlfriend is (no joke) going to be in Kazakstan. I will therefore be twatting myself on an assortment of substances.

And I am with you there on that one on the basis that I've been married too long to bother about romantic slush like that.

Better not let the wife see that, Sam.

I'll third it. There's alot of pressure to be 'with' someone special or 'find your true love on Valentines Day', it's far too commercialised (kinda like Christmas) and it gives us singles another reason to feel bad about our singleness, even though we really shouldn't cos we don't have the burden of searching all the stores, yellow pages and travel mags trying to find the perfect Valentines gift, restaurant, getaway or experience....once again!

HA HA you poor non-single saps. ;)

Same here :P

Spot on. Valentine's Day is a complete racket. I don't buy my wife a card, I tell her I love her every day anyway.

Anyway, Valentine's Day is a special, romantic day for singles to anonymously send and receive cards, not for couples who already know only-too-well (and pretend to forget) each other's farting, belching, snoring and god-knows-what-else habits over a dim candle or two, a carafe of Frascati and a bowl of pasta and sickly-sweet meaty stuff in some tiny Italian restaurant with a chequered tablecloth and a smarmy waiter with an oversize peppergrinder.


Yuk!

I was thinking of sending a card, anonymously, to this guy I really like

But I think I might be too old for all that now

And in any case, if you send anonymous cards you then have to go to the trouble of asking them if they have had a card etc, so that you can help them to guess it was you

It is all too much trouble

Perhaps I will just get a t-shirt with "I think (name) is fab" and walk past his house or his office?

Hey, you are never too old to send a card secretly. Its all part of the fun. Let me know how you get on and good luck.

someone find me a girlfriend and I will buy them a card!
:rolleyes:

I don't really do Valentines day as it was my wedding anniversary. My ex husband had decided it was a good idea to secretly book our wedding for that day all those years ago. Why? I wasn't impressed, especially as i didn't know till 3 days before.
I don't get why people get married on one of thems birthday or Xmas/new year/ valentines, you need a reason to celebrate at a different time.

Well.....ermm.....considering i haven't got a date, i will most probably be watching a film, all snuggled up in bed with my cat for company! :D

any offers? lol :)
