Hey everyone, what are your Valentine's Day plans?
I wasn't really sure what I was going to do until today, when my amazing girlfriend told me she had made plans. She's taking me to dinner, then we're staying at the Hilton in DC, where we're getting some kind of spa massage. (Staying at a hotel is cool for us because otherwise we'd be in one of our dorms that night...although I imagine no one really has to try too hard to appreciate staying in a hotel just for the hell of it. Or maybe that's just me.) I've never really been a big Valentine's Day guy, but this may turn me into a believer. I love my girl!
What are your plans??

Here is a poem I wrote about Valentine's Day



Valentines Day

This is the day for love, for cupid, and gaudy wishes.
Heart shaped candy, strange coincidence, lingering kisses.
I'll be collapsed on our bed, head in my hands:
My failure laid before me in obscene glory. And plans
Are ruined before they've begun.

And meanwhile, outside my room, two boys play basketball
In the street. A blue car crawls passed, a woman's call
Brings a lazy cat running, a cold North wind whips
Up the street: a man stands with his hands on his hips
Glaring at the scattered litter.

Later, I go to the shop, buy bread, smile at a girl
Who is just too young to matter: within the swirl
Of self indulgent self reproach there's a life to make.
I can pretend to do it for your or my sake.
Because it’s all there is.

Dead eyes surveying a world made of equal measures
Of pain, fear and joy: sucker punched and hidden pleasures.
Only three people know that I cried in my sleep:
The hole in my life is fizzing, burning: how deep
is it? It's sucked up years

I don't have any plans

We may or may not have plans...we talked about doing some stuff, but I'm thinking (hoping, anyway) that he's stopped talking about it because he wants to surprise me.

If nothing else, I'll be getting him a gift (or at least a card), and offering up a few...ahem..."favors."

My friend is moving into an apartment that day and she's already asked for help. So I'll most likely be doing that.

When I move in a month she will be nowhere to be found of course.

My girl and I don't celebrate V-day. Call us cynical, but commercially endorsed romance leaves us kind of cold. We'll most likely give each other a card or something with a bit about how we feel, or whatever. Our anniversary is more where we hit the high notes.

Sit around and slowly but surely tear apart the sad ruin of my alleged life. Then become embittered and cynical about the entire concept of love....

I'm not sure after that...

I'm kind of tossing up between hard liquor followed by dramatic, yet symbolic suicide or committing myself to a life of solitude...

Strange Famous

It's just another day be sad and alone and torn

10 days left, still no ideas on what to do for my girlfriend. Starting to panic a little, though.

My girl and I will be dating for 2 years in April and so far I have planned every special occasion. This includes 6 month, 1 year, 1 year 6 month anniversaries, last Valentine's Day and a few other suprize special days. A few nights back I asked her what she wanted to do for V-day and she didn't really have any ideas. I told her that it is her turn to plan for the special occasion, and she didn't seem to like that idea. I don't mind it most of the time (she is well worth the effort), and she always loves what I plan.

But my question is "Why is the guy (at least from my observations and experiances) in charge of planning for these special occasions?"

Jim Kata

First off, I'm going to have a little indoor picnic since its so cold outside. Lay down the blanket, have the picnic basket waiting with some fruit, cheese, and wine.
For dinner I plan on taking her to an Italian restaurant not too far from my house that we both have never been to. Authentic homemade Italian recipes. The owner personally makes all the food with recipes he watched his mom make when he was younger. I also was told that they have 3 singers there so that will be semi cool. Not too romantic, but hopefully nice none the less.

edit:
I ask myself that allll the time. Honestly...I think Valentine's Day is a bullshit day. As Andre 3000 says..."Everyday is the 14th".

If it is her day (cause I don't care about it) should she just pick out what we are going to do and I'll just pick up the tab. This way I don't have to worry about her being disappointed with what I thought she may like.

Women, can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em.

*Nikki*

We are cooking together at my place......something we have never done.

As far as what else is happening........well lots of sex I am sure.

I am ordering new lingerie right now just for the occasion.

Strange Famous

cooking together sounds really nice.

How many V-Day threads are there???

Anywho, I don't really care to go out- just a quiet evening at home, possibly playing strip-poker or strip-scrabble or strip-trivial persuit or something-
and I plan to cook him a full-on, from scratch special meal.
Then.......who knows after that May be another surprise in store for him.............

We're going to a swinger toga party at an on premise club 3 hours from here. We're staying overnight and splitting a hotel room with another couple. Hotel's got hot tub and pool too so will have to go for a swim. They're having a wedding right before the party with one of the couples who are members. We're going to that too. Free beer, wine, and eats. They party our heart out all night with people who love to get naked and everything else. We're looking forward to it. Got the sitter lined up already too.

OOps that's me Raeanna. Forgot I was on hubby's computer and logged in as him. He's going to the party too so I guess his reply is about the same.

I'm going to:
*Give out The Lion King valentines to my friends
*Give myself a pedicure and facial
*Veg out with a good movie with my roommate and some other single friends, get some wine and chocolates and have a big old time.

No sense in being miserable because it's Valentine's Day. Or because I'm not with Ryan anymore...or because the last major holiday we were together...Oh wait, I already am miserable...No, I'm not miserable. Just wistful.
