        Aren't we making one huge assumption here, atomant?

          Not when it comes to you /cheap shot

            hmmm..... there are some good ideas here... expecially Zkribbler's advice, although not so sure about flowers working on everyone...

              Zkribbler doesnt know jack.

              Watch it. Your better half might think that...

              a. Flowers have feelings, and shouldnt be killed.
              b. Flowers die. Diamond rings dont.
              c. Flowers are cheap. So is your love for her.

              My theory is that whatever you get is wrong. She wont admit it, but she doesnt like it.

              Therefore an expensive gift at least gives out a message that you'll do anything for her.

              Damn I hate valentines....


              ps. What f***ing date is it?!? 15th?

                14th.

                Don't just give her flowers, have them delivered to her at work. It's harder for to complain after everyone at works tells her how nice they look.

                But flowers isn't enough, more must be added. A card, candy, and most importantly, a nice night out.

                A diamond are for people that are insecure, feel the need to buy a person's affection, or just has way too much money lying around.

                  ****. Friggin' Valentines Day. Totally made up day that exists to pad the profits of Hallmark and various florists (who gouge without compunction).

                  I wonder, maybe our agreement from last year holds (that we'd ignore it).

                    We ignore a lot of the hallmark holidays like Sweetest day, but i think you're asking for trouble ingoring valentine's day.

                      I'm surprised no one has mentioned a pearl necklace.

                      I guess polytubbies really are geeks.

                        It went over just fine last year. My wife, thankfully, generally agrees about the stupidity of the "holiday."

                        Maybe we can do something a week early or something and avoid the rush/gouging. Dinner at Mortons (across the street from our office), maybe.

                            I quote my wife, just now:

                            "You can assume, forever, that I don't care about Valentine's Day."

                                I'm getting a few bottles of tequila, plenty of snackfood and throwing

                                Bitterfest 2006

                                A celebration of bitterness, how men are all bastards and drinking games. My single friends and I shall gather about, try to forget how alone we all truly, truly are and possibly go blind! (I'm buying cheap tequila you see!).

                                Secretly I hope to snog (again) this guy who everyone thinks is a sarcastic twunt but who I quite fancy.

                                And I hope my ex sits alone in his room. Thinking about why he broke up with me. And cries a bit.
                                Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
