| New bf and Valentine's Day
Posted: 2/13/2007 12:08:16 AM | | So for Valentine's I was thinking a box of chocolates, some home made cookies and cheese cake (give half to him and half to my grandpa), card and then this shirt for a concert we are going to...but theres a dress code at the concert so he cant wear the shirt he wanted...what else could i get him in place of this shirt? any ideas? We have only been dating for a few weeks...normally I would give massage oil, teddy ect..but i dno if thats really right...as for other shirt i couldnt think of anything. He got me chocolates, card, teddy and work out pants i really wanted | |

Posted: 2/13/2007 6:11:22 AM | | So everyone things the massage oil is an ok idea? he gave me a massage the other day and i offered to give him one but he said not to worry about it...does he really not like them? do people not like massages? lol or is he just being nice | |

Posted: 2/13/2007 6:17:43 AM | Sounds like he was being nice.
I think the baking is plenty. Don't over do it. I would buy the massage oil but ONLY get it out if things "go that way" tomorrow. You can always use it another time right??
You're like me, you need to STOP yourself from getting caught up in the madness in the shops sometimes heh. Stick with what you have, save the shirt for another time. If you use up all your ideas now, what will you be able to do later? | |

Posted: 2/13/2007 6:33:25 AM | | If he's a new boyfriend, going overboard may scare him off! He'll feel pressure to reciprocate, and may not be comfortable with that. I agree with the above post that the baking may be enough, with the massage oil in reserve. | |

Posted: 2/13/2007 6:59:19 AM | Here's the solution. Scrap the shirt idea and shop here. http://www.lavieenrose.com/catalog/detail.jsp?product_code=K1306-6F3&category=1015
There is a store in Coquitlam. My choice would be the butterfly item as it evokes that fresh, breathe deeply, sweet aroma of spring. Mmmmmm. And it's on sale, as well.
The perfect way to say, "Be my Valentine".  | |

Posted: 2/13/2007 8:48:18 AM | | skip the chocolates...guys don't seem to be into that kind of stuff and the baked goods as well. How about something like tickets to his fav sporting event, if he's into been then a nice collection of different ales, a basket of men things like a mens mag, pretzels, beef jerky, a coffee mug for him to drink coffee from (and think of you daily), and a pair of PJ pants and a good mans movie? you know things he's into...if he likes golf then a basket with some golf items, a new glove, some golf balls, a towel, and some rounds of golf, a visor...having been married 24 yrs I've learned men really get off on things they will ACTUALLY use for gifts...just because it's valentines day doesn't mean it has be all about romance and candy...JMO!! | |

Posted: 2/14/2007 2:59:11 PM | I'm with a minimalist approach. Most guys just aren't into Valentines Day. I dated one woman years ago that had never managed to have an actual relationship over VDay (and it was her birthday too, come to think of it). She became more insane the closer it got.
In other words, you've done more than enough.
Cheers,
Mike (but guys always appreciate sex) | |
