Do guys expect presents for valentines day? Just something small? I've never had a bf on valentines day and I don't know what I should be doing. We've been dating about 3 months.

I know some of you will tell me to get whatever I'm comfortable with but if you have a girlfriend, what did she do for you on valentines day??

i got my ex 3 roses, one white, one sterling, and one pink, and some babys breath all tied together with a silver satin ribbon...pretty much it. they don't really like flowers a lot though. chocolate for a silly boy, love poem or song for the romantic

My ex gave me half a pendant with a chain, she wore the other half and they're made to slip in together.

Aww.... the bitch.

I'm not really the kind of girl to write love poems or anything though

I was thinking of getting my boyfriend some sort of drug paraphernalia (wtf, since when is there an 'r' in there?), maybe a new bong or pipe. But that would only work if he's a stoner, lol. Does he like videogames? Most boys do...

Edit - it's also pretty standard to just organise a romantic night, like maybe going out for a nice meal.

If he likes it when you bake for him, that's a really good idea too. Maybe make him a really extravagant cake or something.

Yes he's a big video game geek, he just bought a ps3. I wouldnt want to flat out ask him what games he likes though, thats a little obvious, and plus I dont really want to spend 50+ dollars.

Cook him dinner. Then get yourself into sexy knickers and give him a bit of a strip tease.

People don't need 'things'. A romantic evening is always a lovely idea.

Do not, DO NOT buy ANY Chocolate or roses, unless you want to convey the message "I think your like everyone else" instead, do something abstract. Try to surprise them. Something either expensive thats BIG and SHINY, or thats original, like hand picking flowers into a personalized bouque that was difficult for you to make , so it shows hard work and such.

For a guy,

Alchohol,

Victoria's secret,

Or same "personalized hard work" idea.

For one of our first V-Day's, I cut out a red and pink heart from construction paper and attached a picture of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to the pink one.. then I cut out a strip of pink paper, crinked it up like a spring and glued it to each heart.

So it was like a pop-up heart.. with those two guys on it.

She thought it was funny. :\

Paint hearts on your ass cheeks and give him the gift of anal.

A phonecall might be nice.

I don't give advice like this often. I don't want a bunch of little Euda's running around. If I wanted that, I'd start a school; a eudaemonistic school.

While I'd love to single out every single one of you and point out your idiocy, I don't have the time nor the patience. I'll do you all at once:

Look at me, I'm everybody who's posted in this thread!! I suggest buying boring, cliché gifts that demonstrate absolutely no thought or feeling! Chocolate, flowers, dinner, and a strip tease! How original! I am so, so awesome for getting gifts like this.

Don't be one of them. Use your brain. If a girl ever got me flowers, chocolate, or some stupid love pendent and actually expected me to be grateful, I'd probably dump her on the spot. Put some damn thought into it.

Its the thought that counts. Buying flowers it not thought. Buying flowers is a cop-out. Same goes for every single other gift anyone has suggested. Any gift that someone suggest for a person that they've never met is not a good one. A gift you actually put some thought into, even if it sucks, is a million times better.

I'm an avid skier, and the last gift I got from my girlfriend was a gift certificate to the ski resort I frequent. A ski resort that she had to drive almost 3 hours each way to get to. It was nice getting a gift that actually had some effort and thought behind it.

A girl who buys a guy cologne is just telling him that he stinks.

Why do you think guys buy perfume for a girl?

And

WEED!

I would love a girl forever. And she would be with me for my first mil.

On Valentines Day as a guy, I gave up on hoping to ever get anything of significant value. Either I got something that was supposed to be touching/sentimental, but I was either just not that that into the girl and just happened to be with her on Val day. Or I got something completely useless and had no sentimental value what-so-ever from a girl I was crazy about, and then got a look of disappointment from her when I gave her something useless, but extremely sentimental.

I just started buying her lingerie because in the end she liked it (and yes she actually did because she was into that sort of thing) and it always worked out well for me in the end.

I realise I never answered your question. Sorry, but I say get him something that you know he will like. Key word there, "KNOW" he will like. Just to be safe. Next year if you 2 are still together then go for something special.

Is it silly to buy him something like a video game? Like, not romantic enough? Or is that good?

Brady, I think you're being way too pretentious. Even though it's a cliche, I would love for my boyfriend to take me out for a nice meal, and he would love it if I gave him a striptease.

I guess the point I'm making is that if your girlie likes flowers, then there's nothing wrong with getting her flowers.

Chibi, that's an excellent idea. In fact, videogames are the only gift I've seen guys get actually excited over, lol.

Give him bronchitis!

i asked my male friend and he said

" a date with her best friend"

hes a jackass ignore him, i would say, just cook him a nice meal, then maby curl up on the couch and watch some movies

I've got a Battle of the Bands to play, so I'm hoping that our band will win that, get shitty and then get laid. That would be a sufficient substitute for a present.

This plan fails because of the total inability for most people to find a decent movie.

Valentines day is all about the girlies. The guys get it back on steak and BJ day. (http://www.steakandbjday.com/)

I'm certain he'd really like it if you have him some courage...

What are you talking about?

Just bake his some brownies and make out.

has anyone said blow job yet?

haha thats an idea...

but its depends on the type of guy he is, so dont expect great ideas...

Don't listen to gus, what he needs is a heart.

Valentines day= extortion.

Not that I am bitter.

Bouquet of candy. Works for guys and girls.

Hah, what I need is a new car... Steph, though, need to rape her boyfriend because he's a pussy.

Having been bitterly single for 17 years, I fucking hate valentines day.

I decided I'm going to send a valentines card this year.

it'll porbably be so gay he'll vomit and dump me=[

a giant glittery pink heart or something.

I gave James one of those and he actually loved it

Its time for you females to realize what you truly are. Your boy wants to hit that shit. That little kinky thing hes been hinting at, thats what he wants for valentines day. What the fuck do you think the romantic dinners, the love cards, the sappy songs, are for? Because at the end of the night, he knows he will be ball deep inside of you.

Its that easy. make the sex kinky and fun for valentines day. unless of course the type of girl that does that naturally, otherwise known as "keepers". Make it your mission to please him. You do all the work.

My proper Valentines Day plotting begins today. It won't be as great as I would hope, nor as low-quality as I would think.

Brady makes a good point, buy him something he'll actually enjoy. My boyfriend took me snowboarding and I bought him a totally pimped out hookah and a shit load of supplies.

^^^Most people can't afford gifts that extravagant.

Honestly, all I want for Valentine's Day is to be left alone (when I am with somebody). I'd rather my girlfriend do something nice spontaneously than on a designated (read: lame) holiday.

Seriously.

I'd rather have some really romantic sex or something than god damn chocolate or a stupid fucking video game.

Valentine's day is a dumb holiday built up my Hallmark to sell more shit.

I'm gonna spend the night with my girl, and probably get funky, but we aren't getting each other anything.
