Guys, Is it a bad idea to give my boyfriend flowers, chocolate, and a teddy bear for Valentine’s Day?

[Anonymous]

I know he like chocolate. His favorite flowers are lavender, and he likes stuffed animals if they have a significant meaning to them ( I think he means if someone special gives him one but I’m not sure). Would he be happy, disappointed, or weirded out?

[MDollarBill]

Probably not a great idea. First, he won't appreciated them, (except the chocolate. Who doesn't want chocolate?) Guys are into utility. Second, he might even be a little offended, even if he doesn't say so. He might infer that you think he's childish or effeminate. Third, he'll know you don't "get" him at all, which can be a real deal-killer. We all want to be understood. Get him a pocket knife. Even if he has a dozen, he'll love it. It reaffirms his masculinity. Men like steel. plus, it's shiny. Or, if he's a shooter, ammo is always apropos. (confirm his caliber of choice, tho)

How much under 18?
This isn't really serious dating cuz neither one of you are ready to be committed in a relationship, let alone married. So just something nice is fine, or nothing at all.

And you're projecting. You think your guy likes what you like. OMG.
Stuffed animals? What, he's 10?

Nothing says I'm taking away your ability to be masculine and the view of masculinity I have of you and the respect I have for you as a man than doing exactly what you've suggested above.

Personally if that were given to me, I'd have no clue what to do with the flowers, the bear would find a nice cosy home at the bottom of a bin and the chocolate, well depending on which brand it is I'd maybe eat some and the rest would go the way if the bear.

I would love it if I had a girlfriend who would give me stuff like those. It would really bring tears of joy to my eyes. You are a great girlfriend. Honestly this question made my day. Thank you:)

It depends on the age. But tbh, if he's over 12 or 13 then he probably doesn't want another stuffed animal. He may still be attached to the ones he grew up with as a child -- and that's perfectly normal -- but I don't think he would really have any use for any new ones. ... But I could be wrong; I don't know.

Well if a man told me he got flowers or stuffed animals for Valentines Day from his partner I would assume he’s gay since those are aimed at the female. Since he’s the man in the relationship, I’d say take him out to do go cart racing. If I was the boyfriend that’s what I want my girl to do :)

Maybe not flowers, because they die, unless they smell really really good. Chocolate is good it tastes great (and is an aphrodisiac if you might... want that from him... you know what I mean. If not just say no). Teddy bears are great because it gives him something soft to hold when you aren't around, or if you don't want to be held (I have a stuffed dog that I sometimes cuddle at night... I'm a single guy). So those two (Chocolate and a teddy bear) are great.

Stop with thinking about that, it's still lot of time till 14.02.

Bottle single malt, good steak and premium BJ will make him happier than teddy bear, flowers and chocolate

[jman2020]

Id be happy with flowers and chocolate with a stuffed animal. I've divorced twice and never once did I get anything from them for V-day. I sure got them things but nothing from them to me.

[jarrod42]

If there's thought, care and meaning behind your actions. Then your boyfriend will have a big grin. Getting things you know he likes shows you care

[crazy8000]

It's a great gesture even if someone doesn't like the gifts in themselves normally.

As long it doesn't get as the tie at Christmas and birthday's that children tends to give due to lack of thinking.

[Shiver]

I'd personally like it, but that's because of the effort, not the gifts themselves. I suggest a fun activity or a nice dinner instead.

[Anonymous]

Me personally I would feel kind of emasculated. I mean he may think that you think/view him as the girl in the relationship. Also, another note is that most guys don't really care about Valentine's Day and since the two of you are under 18 it's not like you two probably have an abundance of money. So you really don't need to get him anything.

[Unit1]

You already know what he likes, so go get him that stuff. What advice do you need from us?

[Beautiful_Confusion]

The most meaningful gifts are those chosen based on our knowledge of the person they're meant for. That said, apparently your boyfriend likes each item. I wouldn't think about tradition. You know him.

[koolkal]

Generally guys like myself don't really care to receive flowers. The chocolate is cool. The bear is alright but don't expect him to put on display. But if you include taking him out to dinner, that should score good points with him.

[trustmeimpolish]

I proudly recommend getting him a Milwaukee 2555p-22 impact wrench, sure its expensive but just think about all the money u save with it and the eye candy that you'll get when he's being all macho using it

[jamesgoldman]

It will be fine if not in public i. e. school as teenage boys are brutal

[Pejtu]

I bought my girlfriend giant stuffed bear thats even taller then i am
Flowers and a Silver bracelet

[Snakeyes7]

If that’s what he likes by all means go for it. I personally would be fine with just the chocolate and the stuffed animal because of the sentimental value.

[YHL6965]

I don't know what he likes but I would find this cute. To be fair, I'm not a materialistic kind of guy so it's mainly the intention that matters to me.

[jamiepagepro]

He might get a little embarrassed but he'll appreciate it

[manofstyle]

If he's not happy to have you express your love then he is weird.

[Xwtxx]

You wearing a sexy lingerie and a very provocative lap dance will be a good idea for a gift.

[Nahid1707]

It’s nice to spend time with your partner on Valentine’s Day

[josephforsse1]

We like thoughtful gifts on those days

[Avicenna]

Not at all- those are nice presents

[Phoenix98]

Nah I'd love that actually.

[JesseJayNeak]

No, it's actually a good thing

[loveslongnails]

Me personally … I'd fucking hate it.

[Teztls]

No, it's rather sweet.

[Daniel3035]
