Is this too much to ask for Valentine's day?

[StrawberryShake]

I only asked for specific things bc my boyfriend isn't good with thinking of gifts (his words)
I wanted 1 rose and for us to go to dinner (we're splitting the bill)
I also wanted a card that says I love you in his writing.

I'm making him this cake and I bought him a few things.

Yes

No

[spartan55]

That's about as simple as it gets. Why did you have to suggest he say 'I love you' in a card? He won't say it organically?

[StrawberryShake]

I have no clue 😂😂 but I needed to make sure bc I want to get a tattoo of that in his exact handwriting. He doesn't know yet

[spartan55]

Okay... where on your body are you getting the tattoo?

[StrawberryShake]

Why? I'm not about to get told by a stranger where I should or shouldn't get my tattoo, or that a tattoo will only ruin my pretty looks.

[spartan55]

Uh, I wasn't going to tell you anything, much less where to put it on your body... geez.

[StrawberryShake]

Well, that's what I'm used to hearing from every other guy on GaG when I mention anything about tattoos and piercings.

[spartan55]

Well please don't ever assume to know what I think. I never would have said either of those things to you. I was just curious.

[StrawberryShake]

I always assume with guys on GaG.

[spartan55]

Well please don't with me, it's very aggravating.

[StrawberryShake]

Sorry, I don't know you personally. So I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing 👍

[spartan55]

Even though I just told you otherwise? So I should just let you attack me because you don't know me personally... yeah okay.

[StrawberryShake]

I wouldn't call it attacking. Don't be sensitive

[spartan55]

Hahaha, yeah okay. Whatever you say. I've never been anything but respectful to you, so you do what you think is best.

[StrawberryShake]

You're asking me to just believe that you won't assume this or that about me, like countless people have done on here. I don't know you, it's gonna take some time for me to actually know what you're about and how you operate, not just this conversation. So until then, I will be respectful but I'm still standing my ground.

[spartan55]

Standing your ground on what? Being hostile by default? Sounds good.

[StrawberryShake]

Now you're being passive aggressive 😅
Please, learn the definition of hostile. I was quick to assume, not hostile. And I will continue to be quick to assume. Sound good?

[spartan55]

So if my experiences with females on GaG have all shown me that they are sluts, then I should treat you like a slut by default?

[spartan55]

Thanks, but I don't a vocabulary lesson from you.

[StrawberryShake]

Apparently you do need a vocab lesson, or else you'd use words right the first time. Blocked

[Yourfriend2021]

No it's not too much to ask, and he should have thought about those things without you asking, not very romantic of him.

[CurlyGirl42]

No, I don't think it is too much, takes little effort to arrange.
Hope you get a wonderful Valentine's <3

[Mangospacho]

I like the cake. I like the splitting the bill. The one rose, though, that’s a little excessive (I’m kidding. I’m kidding)

[Grond21]

That doesn't seem to me to be an onerous ask at all

[shortster]

Nope, but why are you splitting the bill? I never understood that. If I invite you out I am doing so with the expectation of paying for the date. If you invite me out I expect you to pay for it. Splitting the bill only makes more work for the server. It only makes sense if it is a work outing with the boss.

[StrawberryShake]

We're inviting each other out... Valentine's day is for both people involved, not just the girl.

[shortster]

Huh? How does that work? I never said that he needed to pay. You could have asked him out

[StrawberryShake]

Yeah... We're going out together, EQUALLY

[shortster]

So you asked each other out at the same time?

[StrawberryShake]

Are you purposely trying to be an idiot? Because you're doing a really good job of it

[shortster]

No I am trying to understand how it works? I am sorry if my social ineptitude is bothering you. I am on the spectrum so I don't get all the nuances of social interactions.

[StrawberryShake]

Okay my apologies. We're splitting the bill because we want our date to be fair and equal. I don't want dinner to be his gift to me or my gift to him, I want it to be our gift to each other. It's nice to go out to eat and not have to pay for the whole thing, but I don't have as much money as him so we are splitting it. He offered to pay in full but I'd rather split

[shortster]

Oh, okay. Thanks for explaining it.

[driven159]

you wanted real easy things, but it does take the surprise out of it

[lrina]

i don't see how that would be asking too much

[annabananna]

I don’t think that too much to ask for at all.

[Still-alive]

Nah sounds perfectly do-able. Hope it goes well

[Wise4myage]

Sounds real nice.

[fjb2021]

The man pays.
