My sweetie usually buys me a very nice card. I like flowers, but V-Day flowers are extra overpriced, and so I discourage him from getting them for me then. I will usually either cook a very nice meal for him, or we go out for dinner. Then we just spend the rest of the night relaxing...
I don't need much, but the card is important to me, and the time spent together is even moreso.
Oh, I am a woman... I can answer this! I want to see my enemies crushed, to see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women!
Or a card. I suppose a nice card will do as well. (card works great for all three choices really... but if dating for a long time/married or something, a nice candlelit dinner we work on together at home and maybe a movie* cuddled up on the couch with a box of Valentines chocolates is good too. I don't like going out on Valentine's Day. Too crowded, the menus are too limited, and everything is too overpriced!)
We've never really made a big deal out of Valentines Day. Mrs. Chow for the most part doesn't care about that day, she's more into her B day and doing something fun or different for that, not so much V day.
I feel the same. I like a nice card with a heartfelt message. Other than that, just spending some quality time together. We usually buy something small for each other, but I'd rather not. We'd only been dating for 2 months and DH got me roses. I got him out of that in a hurry and if he does buy flowers, it's gerbera daisies. But buying for the sake of buying is irksome. I don't have money to waste on things we don't need, just for the helluvit.
Eww. I see no reason to post FB messages to each other for everyone to see.
I agree. Luckily, my husband isn't on facebook at all, so that never happens. I have a profile and log in once every few months. I wouldn't worry about FB at all on V-day. If my husband DID post something lovey on my wall it would embarrass me anyway.
V-day is overrated. I've always felt that way. Now that I have children, the "holiday" more for them than it is for me and my husband.
I keep stressing to my husband that he doesn't need to buy me flowers, but I guess he feels that's the least he can do on that day.
As for what I want...nothing at the moment, unless I stumble upon something that I like or want in the meantime. Then I'll ask my husband if I can get it for V-day.
Long term relationship, living together: How much "facebook" involvement do you post to her on Valentines day, if any?
I am on facebook, but don't do a whole lot on it or social media in general. She is on it all the time, checks us in when we go places, the whole 9...
Having never posted anything on Valentines day in the past to her or anyone else, what is expected?
I have a gift / card and will get flowers, but these days, people seem all crazy about facebook and stuff
My husband and I are both on FB. He rarely uses it and I'm not active on it like most (I just read updates, look at photos, links, etc..) I check-in on Yelp though because I will do reviews and the like on that app.
If my husband ever posted something mushy or in regards to our relationship online, I'd be mortified or assumed his account had been hacked.
If you're not "active" on FB, then why change?
