Clueless to be honest - I would rather she tell me but she's not (probably a test) so need help.....

no way i hate it when they say that!! I just get roses sent to her work and maybe a cd or somethin. Can't go wrong with roses though "If i was a slug i don't think i could handle it, i'd just throw myself in the salt pot" -Karl pilkington
Whyte 46, i fall off it alot!!0 -
Something really thoughtful and small normally goes down better than something cheap and generic.
Plus if you really love me..... that is girl speak for, i've been dropping hints for ages, please listen to me. Then you have to bloody remember what she fancied in the shops recently.0 -
A new perfume is always a safe bet 8)0

Spotted the cards in Tesco last Thursday and was grateful for being single for the first time in 5 years and not having to bother!
Then went out Friday and met this girl . It's early days but could be poor timing by me!"The problem was, I was still using my eyes even though I had them shut"

This idea is not rocket science & applies to guys or girls:
If there is someone special in your world............. tell them so!!
A small gift may be appreciated too............0 -
excellent solution to "spend more time with the kids" boarding school or the army...0

True - although the new Hope Mono Mini Pink would be a good gift in my eyes - I am sure she won't see the massive romantic gesture in buying her the coolest girl bit of bike kit tho.... 0 -
I am turning into Tim Allen from 'Home Improvement' - oh no
"Tttiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmm the Tool Man taayyyylllor"
you know what's coming next fellas.....

My gf appreciated the orange p7 i made her for her birthday, it had pink tyres and grips...0

Depends on the girl!!
I would have appreciated a bike / bike bits........alas, had to buy them for myself..... 0 -
Why can't my girlfriend be more interested in biking - that's all I ask......
THEN I would know EXACTLY what to buy her...........

well this is the first time ive been single on valentines day in 4 years! a long relationship break up = not a clue how to be single?! just reassure me guys its as good as i thought it used to be. haha.
i have brought myself a rrather expensive pressie. a three week lash up in new zealand. looking forward to letting offf some steam, hitting some mtb trails out there, and honing the skills of being single.
i still love her though....bugger0 -
Normally don't have a clue. As evidence, I submit last year's valentines effort, when a mate and I took our wives for a chinese. We got to chat boytalk all night, they got to chat girl talk, no money wasted on silly pretty things that get thrown away a few days later.
This year, with Valentines mid week, I'll cook a nice 3 course dinner, do some flowers and stuff, and she'll be fairly happy with the effort. I think 3 or 4 hours spent making the house nice and a special dinner is worth more than a crappy present.
However, she'll think it's all done and dusted, and then we've organised to go to London on saturday to see the King Tut exhibition with friends. What she has no idea about is the fact that we are then going on to the Albert Hall to see Cirque du Soleil, - which is something she's desperately wanted to do ever since I met her. I should win lots of points there! Proved by testing to be faster than a badger.

you smoothy you... sounds like she will be over the moon with what you have planned.
I do know that we are staying in and she is cooking (I normally do) but this time she really wants to..... some tunes, good wine. Top night...
Will buy a gift but now I am back to square one 0 -
As I said, this year is a bit of a fluke, normally I'm not doing so well.
That said, a good few years ago, in a long distance relationship, I managed to borrow my girlfriends spare key, wait for her to go out to netball practice after work, then sneaked in and left flowers and jewellry and her dress for the evening on her bed, with a note to say that we had a dinner reservation for 30 mins after she got home. That went down well!
I can remember being very entertained by Chris Moyles on the drive over that day. He's started off his afternoon show by declaring that "he didn't believe in St V's day, thought it was all a load of marketing crap, and could see no reason to make a special effort." He then invited any comments that people wished to make.
For the next 3 hours or so, he took a huge amount of crap, mainly from girls, but also some guys. All the usual stuff - pigheaded, fat, emotionless etc.
Then to my huge joy, 20 minutes from the end of his show, he stated that he didn't like St V's day, 'cos he loved his girlfriend all year round and tried to show it all the time, not just a poxy card and flowers once every 365 days! Again he asked for any comments from those listening.
In the first 3 hours he had over 20,000 texts insulting him. In the last 20 minutes, he got a handful of grudging apologies. Just great fun listening to so many people managing to stand their high horse on a soapbox while they slagged him off, and then the silence after he explained.
In short, St Valentines Day isn't anything like as important as the other 364 (or 365 occaisionally for you pedants!) days of the year.
That said, I wouldn't dare miss getting flowers for her! :shock:Proved by testing to be faster than a badger.

Being single is great. Just takes a little time to get used to it.
And about the still loving her? You'll get over that soon.
I don't understand why people think they need someone else to be happy.
I'm fantastic on my own. MySpace
All fur coat and no knickers....0 -
thanks, i dont htink people need someone to be happy but its just a bit of getting used to. tbh im quite looking forward to the single life.0
