Hey started this post so people could swap Valentine's day ideas and dating tips. Girls and guys of all ages welcome lol. Never know, you might learn something new

1). Giver her 12 roses 11 fake and 1 real. Tell her that you'll love her until the last one dies
2). Tell him/her the little things; you look nice today etc
3). Whisper "I love you" just for the sake of it
4). Always say sweetdreams, and i love you at the end of a conversation whether it be digital or audio
5). Slip a love note into his/her pocket and be sure they will notice later

But remember these are ideas; if you want to do or say something really sweet it won't come from a forum or anywhere else but your heart..

You can't do that! It was created by the card companies to brainwash young people into buying mushy pink crap just to make more money! :eek::mad:

:p Then again, I propose incessant fluffle spamming, though I'd do that any day. :D:fluffle:

No, a better punishment would be to kill 1 million people with a nuclear bomb every time someone mentions it, and force him/her to watch the nuke go off.

Yes, I'm mean like that. :D

how about speeling?

And no, it's much more fun to reduce a Valentine's Day thread into an anti-Valentine's Day discussion with incessant fluffle spam. :D

There are two reasons

They hate that a day is set aside where you are expected to love through money, and do things that should be done EVERY day.

and/or

They are sad, lonely, jealous and bitter

We should celebrate Fluffle Day instead. :fluffle: Fluffling is much more fun than buying mushy, romantic crap that you only buy once every year (though you can actually buy it anytime) but still have a girlfriend/boyfriend every other day of the year too. :mad:

I for one am all for Fluffle Day. :fluffle:

Not neccesarily abt money, actually money doesn't have anything to do with this, it's just a special day. I half agree with the everyday thing. Well treat it like an excuse to do something special. I mean if you did something special everyday then it wouldn't be special would it?

I'm alone, but I'm not lonely... the jealousy and bitterness are unrelated. So I'm the former :p

I've always wondered, whose bright idea was it to start a tradition that involves giving people roses in the middle of winter? It's like having "Snowman Day" in mid-August.

Or is everyone more fond of March 8? I for one like March 8....

I don't know. The last girl I liked, I gave her a poinsetta (flower), a card, and a Hershey's Kiss. I had to steal that flower, and it was no good.

My cynicism is not designed to conceal bitterness or loneliness. Instead, I use it as a shield to protect myself from the injuries that would inevitably result from acknowledging, to myself or anybody else, that I possessed genuine feelings or that they might actually be reachable by some external event.

Is that so? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_%28season%29) I think there are some people in upstate New York who'd beg to differ with you right now.

Here is the inherent problem with Valentine's Day: One-way devotion. Specifically, it is the responsibility of one side, generally the males, to show a measure of an intangible item in the form of an entirely unrelated, tangible item, to the other side, generally, the females. And what do we get in return? Let's see, well, it's impolite for them to buy things that we like, so cool watches, cufflinks, and steel guantlents are out. And due the actions of the Ultra-Radical Feminist Lobby, few men can even expect to have a decent Blueberry Pie baked for them. Mmm, Blueberry Pie, how tasty.

Where was I? Oh, yes, the double standard that Valentine's day is. So what we have is this:

Expected from the Men:
Cards, Diamonds, Flowers, and Choclates.

Expected from the Women:
Cards.

Well, allowing the cards to cancel out, how is it that women are allowed to show their affection intangibly and men are required to do it tangibly. I have no way of getting my pie!
