no...
you don't need a special day for that. Your partner should be able to tell if you love him or not, regardless if february 14th is near or not. You don't need to "show how much you love him" on that day, in fact if that's the only day of the year to do it, then it'd be a sorry relationship.
Do something fun, luvvy wuvvy (quoting others) is cool for girls but *yawn* for boys.
Funny, I thought it was more an excuse for Clinton Cards to make a killing and for restaurants to hike up their prices.
The Wikipedia entry on Valentine's Day is quite interesting.

I Really want us to have a whole day together where one of us cook a meal and we just spend the whole day together but its ard cause we both live at home with our parents and its really hard, the only way around it is to book a b&b or hotel room, and eat starwberries ect ,....
What can we do?
Question - Answer
The Only thing this time of the year everyones already booked them up!
You're in two halves? :eek2:
If you're going to go down the lovey dovey route, then you need to think about what he'd like. Not what blokes in general like, but what he's going to like. None of us have the answer, put some thought into it.
My ex surprised me by buying me a teddy, a card and cooking me a nice meal, which came as a total surprise because she'd been in almighty huff over god knows what for days beforehand. You could do that if you can't think of anything, pretend to go in a huff and enjoy making up on the day.
The sex that night was pretty goddam amazing aswell if memory serves :angel:
Well that's silly. You should show the person you love how much you love them every day, not just because it's the 14th of February.
i show him all the time in loads a different ways!
But I want to suprise him!
Go for the poetry, you can't lose.
:thumb:
Genius! I shall sew one to simba and give him to myslef. Oh
At least he made the effort. I'm sure he was happy when he realized how your true appreciation towards it is.
this same ex came up with the idea of buying yet another teddy for each other and spraying it with our own perfume/aftershave for when i went away to uni so we always had a reminder of each other. he used to send me love letters too. i remember replying to his and having to make loads of it up because i just didn't feel as strongly for him as he did for me. and im not that soppy anyway. i decided to make mine fun and draw rude pictures in it. but i forgot to put his name on the envelope so his mum opened it and saw :eek:
And a shop bought teddy bear does that...how, exactly?
I'm a happily married man, teaching me about how to love is like teaching your grandma to suck eggs. For your information.
That said, though, my idea of a perfect Valentine's Day card is:
What can I say, I'm from Yorkshire.
the nicest tihng i ever gave was this little Tigger music box that she absolutely adored this one day we were walking through town. i went through hell and high water for it, but it was all worth it. she loved it
i later took her home, and instead of going out, i cooked for her
haha she was amazed at my ability to prepare a meal other than hot pockets and microaved french fries.
Yorkstralia.
Anyway, you wouldn't shop at a Leeds supermarket, would you?
Aww, poor deprived fiance! You will for March 14th, right?
(although I must point out that despite my promotion of 'Steak & BJ' day, my other half enjoys both steaks and blowjobs a lot more than once a year!)
Seriously though, Kermit's dead-on, making a huge fuss on Valentines day simply because convention teaches that is the day for getting all lovey and buying expensive cards is missing the point of what love should be all about. My boyfriend tends to go a touch overboard with chocolates, occasionally flowers and the odd stuffed toy or two, but generally I think that Feb 14th is a nice excuse to go out for a meal (preferably on another night in the week when the restaurants aren't all chrging triple prices) and, whilst all very sweet, I don't see the presents as important or even necessary.
And my boyfriend would be absolutely mortified if I made the mistake of getting him a teddy bear for any occasion. But each to their own...
If you we're to stay at home and cook for him, you could buy some new sexy underwear and wear it while your cooking up his favourite dinner :eek: ..... I wonder if he'd manage to finish it before he pounces on you
