Would you celebrate Valentine's Day with someone you only started seeing?

Question

for 2 months or less and the relationship is not exclusive yet? The day is getting close and I don't know what to do!

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I personally spend Valentine's Day with my best friend, who I truly love as we've stuck it out with each other through thick and thin no matter what our relationship status was. We get all gussied up and go to a nice restaurant for the evening. It's a tradition we started last year because too many guys were getting goofy over my "single" status and I wasn't ready to jump into the high waters of Relationshipville. It takes all the pressure off of that oddly anxious anticipation one has with a new person in their lives. You don't have to be alone and miserable on V-Day, but you don't have to spend it with someone who you feel less than 110% love for. If you're not married and you're not in a serious romantic relationship, I suggest you try the Friendly Valentine's Date.

Valentines Day is what you make it.

It's not just about two people sharing their love and falling romantically into a bed. It's about sharing it with the person you care about. I would, I've done it before. It brought us closer together and we had a truly wonderful night.

How about if you're unsure just ask him? You might find out he doesn't celebrate it :) Just bring it up casually - "heyy, how would you feel about hanging out on Valentines Day, or is it too soon for that?"

If you're not in an exclusive relationship / not official yet, then it is debatable, but I don't think there's anything wrong with suggesting it. It depends somewhat on how close you are and where you see your relationship going. If you've been seeing him for 2 months that's quite a while, so maybe it's time to make it official and become exclusive and this could be the kick you need to do that. But, if you're still very much in the early stages, you could just casually mention it, and just do something nice together that you both enjoy rather than going out for an expensive and romantic meal or anything :)

No, I wouldn't. Valentines Day is about love, and if you just started seeing someone, you don't know if you love them or not. Valentines is only for someone truly special.

I'll have been dating my boyfriend for just over two months by Valentines day, and I don't know yet if we're 'celebrating' it or not. We haven't discussed it at all. It's possible that we will and he'll want to do something cute for me or whatever, but it's also possible that we'll just have lots of sex, lol, or both. =P We ARE official though. I wouldn't think it's weird, he likes to do little things that he thinks might make me smile.

vishna · Answer

lol two months is a bit severe. If it wasn't exclusive? well then heck no. Lol but I'm not the most experienced here (etiquette) so :) I don't know if it was me yeah I would celebrate even if it was a movie or something. But only if we were exclusive.

CestLolaVie · Answer

Yep, there isn't a rule on when you should start celebrating Valentines, if you're into that, then do it. I personally am not too fond of Valentines day I feel it puts pressure on both partners unless you choose to make it simple and just have a good time that day without all the trouble of buying gifts and making it the perfect night ever and all that. Just take it easy would be my advice.

I made the guy I'm ummm "dating" a card. It's cute because it also has these giraffes making a heart and theyre flying in a hot air baloon and on the basket it says "wild about you." it's kind of an inside joke with the giraffes, so I figured it was perfect.

hakuna_matata · Answer

i answered no..but what do you mean by "just seeing"..if we have just started dating each other then no...if we are official bf-gf..with I love u's in our conversation then yes

geronimojoesaephus · Answer

There's nothing wrong with it.  Just don't go expecting diamonds or jewelry though.  If It were me, I'd celebrate Valentine's day. I'd just be a little cheaper than if we were committed. Hahaha

confusedgirl239 · Answer

no I wouldn't personally. Definitely not if we weren't exclusive. I feel like it would be awkward. But honestly its your call. If you want to and you feel comfortable with it, go for it!

aliciaxx · Answer

My boyfriend and I have only been official for about 2 weeks, but we are celebrating it together anyway. It isn't really that big of thing, even if we weren't official we would still go out to dinner or something.

NotSoBad · Answer

i would say "yes" only if I planned on being in a committed relationship with the person.  If you aren't sure yet then make plans to go away with a friend that night.

PoeticNinja · Answer

I wouldn't.. That's too early to celebrate something like that together and it's too mushy to do so.. But that's just me.

drummerdude25 · Answer

Sure... why not take them out for dinner or something? You don't have to play up the occasion or anything.

TheoryOfAvarice · Answer

Sure. It doesn't have to be anything too elaborate. Maybe pick a favorite date idea and just spend a casual day together.

CamTheAwesome · Answer

I'd like to know how the other person felt about it first. If you've been together for more than two months, then yes. Valentine's Day should be celebrated.

wallonia · Answer

saphirasilverwings · Answer

I would if we were in an official relationship, but not if we were dating casually.

VD scares a lot of people. He's probably been burned in the past. Respect his opinion and experience or go find a different guy.
