I know I am going to get ripped to shreds for this but... I don't want to come across as psycho to my lovely new man.
It is the dreaded Valentines day soon. Now I have not been with anyone on Valentines day for the last 6 years and I have no idea what I am supposed to do so I don't look mental or like I don't care.

Only been seeing my man for a couple of months so I am not sure how to handle this regarding whether I should get card /giftage etc. My first instinct is perhaps to make something (hence my planning ahead and asking you lot so I have time to do so) but if so, what? And as for cards, don't do lovey dovey stuff very well so helllllllppppp!

Feel free to rip the pi$$ as much as you like, as long as you also provide me with some valid ideas :)

    I thought men were supposed to dote on the girls.

    Seriously? the best thing you could do would be to say, "Shall we just stay in and cook a nice meal?" If he's got half a brain, he ll probably work out that he should buy some crappy pink chocolates and a card. Best present to him would be to fix a day for Steak an dBJ day where you cook him a steak and...yep

    The card poses a problem too never know what sort of thing to buy or what to write in it, I don't usually get cards for anything, I just make cakes and stuff instead for birthdays, xmas etc. I don't buy into this hearts and flowers malarkey either.....chocolate however = awesome but not in the pink and red heart shaped sense!

    This^^^ - funny always wins & if it can be combined with a nice double entendre (Ooooh er missus), then even better as there's the subtle (or not so subtle) hint that jiggy action is on the cards too...

    Men are simple creatures, you don't need to buy him anything to make his valentines day, just let him splash out on you.

    Or men love anal........be really analyze and tidy his house immaculately

    Right so I am with it on the funny card, taking inspiration of the style of Gazlar's 12 days of Christmas, I will craft something similar using an in joke that we share.

    Filthy bedroom antics check, although I am likely more kinky than him anyway, so there will never be a problem there.

    However steak = no no, ex veggie just getting back on to the bacons wagon is not ready for huge hunks of cow!

    Hmm I think making stuff is a bit stalker, I'd buy him something useful, fun and 20 quid tops that says I understand you and what you like and less "I've been studying you"

    Yeah sack the card off and the prezzies. Although I'm partial to nice Green and Blacks flavored chocolate, Chilli, Orange cherry etc. give it to him on a plate with some pre chilled drinks. Evening made :D:D

    Simples we are.

    Give him an onion with this poem:

    Not a red rose or a satin heart.

    I give you an onion.
    It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
    It promises light
    like the careful undressing of love.

    Here.
    It will blind you with tears
    like a lover.
    It will make your reflection
    a wobbling photo of grief.

    I am trying to be truthful.

    Not a cute card or a kissogram.

    I give you an onion.
    Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
    possessive and faithful
    as we are,
    for as long as we are.

    Take it.
    Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring,
    if you like.

    Lethal.
    Its scent will cling to your fingers,
    cling to your knife.


    Then see how quickly he can run!

    I haven't done this valentine malarky in ages but isn't he supposed to treat you? just immac and femfresh down there so he doesn't complain when 'eating' out. Oh and smile like a child in a sweet store when he gives you expensive roses.

    You' should also make a note to return the favour on March 14th

    Serious answer here...
    We're men, which means we don't really care. Just do anything.

    If "he" cares, then it's probably this girl at it again...

    Me and the missus usually spend 50 odd bucks on some really nice fish or meat, a couple of bottles of wine and a nice sweet from M+S or some such.. It's a complete pain in the bucket to eat out, much nicer to eat in, and you can really go extravagant. Comedy cards always, normal valentines cards are just crap tbh. Also , I never buy flowers, but I do plant 30 quids worth of bulbs that the boss chooses. Much better plan, flowers are nice til they die, better to have them come back every year.

    Blokes are pretty simple, most would be happy with a few bottles of chilled beer, a take away and a good hammering in the bedroom.
