I almost forgot...in addition to the aforementioned plans...2 weeks after Valentine's Day (because we're busy that weekend and the following one) we are taking a private couples massage class at an upscale spa. Each of us gets a one-hour massage while the massage therapist demonstrates the techniques to the other. I'm looking forward to that!
In-laws are out of town, so we're staying in, ordering takeout from one of our favorite restaurants, and seeing Deadpool that weekend. We'll likely exchange cards and chocolates. I'm sure we'll watch a movie or two while we enjoy our takeout and chocolates.
Sooo excited!
That is a hilariously misleading Deadpool poster (well, for those who don't know who Deadpool is, anyway).
"Come see Deadpool, the romantic chick-flick!"

Spoiler
There was a website that edited trailers of movies to make them look like different genres. They made Seven look like a gay-romantic comedy, and Terminator 2 look like a "whodunit" murder mystery. Both were hilarious.
That what he tells me he wants most from me too. Just spending time with me. But I find it fun to give him little gifts and surprises too. It's fun.
You should read "The 5 Love Languages." (Actually, I think everyone should). It may be that his love language is "quality time" whereas yours is "receiving gifts." There's nothing wrong with having different love languages - it can just help you understand your relationships, not just the romantic ones, better.
How about making him a coupon book? One free massage, one home cooked meal, one night out on the town, etc.

I was so excited last year when that was on a Saturday. I had been waiting a very long time to be able to throw a pie themed party on pi day!
I'm planning to go to the coast on the 13th to stalk, er see, my favorite singer in concert. I'll be taking a box of chocolates for the occasion. On the 14th, I'll get up, maybe take a walk on the beach and then drive home in time to help serve lunch to the homeless with an organization I've had on my radar to volunteer with. That sounds much more rewarding than sitting on the couch feeling sorry for myself. Plus, my LH was cremated on Valentine's Day so it's not exactly my favorite day of the year. Though I'm hopeful I'll eventually have reason for it to be a positive day again some day.
My husband and I made an agreement years ago we do not celebrate valentines day. I actually hate it, I think it's so much pressure for some people, makes single people feel terrible, and just not something I want to celebrate. Frankly we both don't need the pressure of trying to plan the perfect night or find the perfect gift, and I would rather he send me flowers just because on another day.

Who says anything has to be perfect?
What is wrong with just going out... or does every night out have to be perfect?
