The ice skating sounds great, if she isn't thrilled about that, just take her to a nice dinner and get her the chocolates or even some cheap flowers fm the grocery store. If you're tight on $$ just go to Red Lobster or some BS place like that in lieu of a nice place. It'll be just fine no matter what you do if she's feeling you, don't sweat it.

I'm kind of in the same boat as you , I've been dating a girl since after NYE and while I'll make sure she doesn't think I don't care, I'll be sure not to overdo things either.

What should I do/get for Valentines Day? I was thinking very simple like a card and then take her out to do something fun like outdoor ice skating or something like that. Let me know if y'all need more info. Thanks!
Last year i met my gf on January 19th and we really hit it off quickly, so i went all out on valentines day.. nice dinner, flowers, note.. you gotta go big or go home at this point.

Just another money grab day.

My husband shows me and tells me everyday that he loves me and it does not cost him money and I do the same with him.

You guys are so timid!!!

If you want to keep a girl, act like you want to keep her. This is your chance. You don't have to spend a fortune or do anything crazy. Just think about her and do something that says she's worth the effort. Even if you stay within the expected parameters like buying a box of chocolates and a pretty card, you'll be much better off than being stingy or overly cautious.

Ice skating sounds nice, but that does not give you a free pass to skip the candy.

Ice skating is a good idea.

Men tend to underestimate how important flowers are. Three weeks isn't long enough to justify roses or orchids, so a bouquet of Daffodils, or (if you can afford them) star gazer lilies.

Just let her know that you will be out of town on the 14th so the date on the 13th will be your Valentines date.

Oh... flowers are only for when you are meeting her at her house. Don't give her flowers that she will have to carry around through the entire date.

I disagree. That's too much for someone he's seen three times in three weeks.

Ice-skating and a card is a nice way to acknowledge the day, but these are not two people in love, they are two strangers getting to know each other.

I'd tell her about going ice skating. She'll want to know how to dress for the date.
