Let her take me to a meal, buy me a gift, it doesn't matter whether the gift is big or small, as long as she buys me a gift or takes me to dinner, even that is a gift.
it takes a while to reach the point where you are comfortable not having any expectations. and feb 14th is one of those days i'm glad to let go of. to think of how many years i spent being disappointed and sad on that day because a man didn't do something for me, as if by virtue of having a vagina i was deserving of it... it really makes me sad at how much loss i created for myself. i have the greatest man in the world busting his ass day in and day out for our family, and he forgets less now, but used to forget all the time. and we used to end up in big fights because i interpreted it as a sign he didn't love me. what a stupid ass i was.
having expectations for the day is a mistake. instead of expecting something from him, i like to use it like Thanksgiving. like how the pilgrims gave thanks to god for all their blessings, and how people will list the things they are thankful for today, i try to think of all the things my husband already does that shows me he loves me. and when i do that, i give myself the greatest gift.

Nothing just another day to me. Restaurants will be crowded flower shops or raise their prices. A lot of candies will be sold. People just follow the crowd like sheeps. It's just another day to me. Any day can be Valentine's Day and I know significance of it being on one certain day but I don't know. I guess I never follow the crowd. Never bought into mass anything. I don't know why I'm that way but I never follow the crowd. Just I never do things just because everybody else is doing it. That makes me that makes me pause and let's see everybody else following the crowd doing the same thing. It's like okay why just cause somebody to tell you to do something. You don't have to do it. You have to always think for yourself who knows how to follow the crowd to fit in look what the Indians did to the buffaloes ran them off a cliff and they all follow each other off one at a time. You think one of them would have said whoa the f*** I ain't falling all off that make a deal with the Indians and we shave my fur. Take what you want but I ain't going down there and not like that brother. I need the one through every scissors. Cut the fur you need and I'm gone now. I'll be back next year so you can cut some mold for. That's as far as we go down there ain't for me. That's how I feel. You never follow the herd but everybody out there happy If I had a lady at this time what I would do on Valentine's not decorate the house but her beautiful card I wouldn't go out. Just fixing to be a nice meal for the two of us romantic meal, sit and talk and make love the rest of the night. I mean it's more involved in that but it's about to gist of it what I would do with this. Valentine's I'm just going to chill. Go out. See those in love. Those are cheating. Enjoy themselves and hope everyone out there does. If you're in a relationship you want to keep it and this is the day that you show it. This is the day to spread. Love around the world because it's needed. Take care
Pretty much the same... she'll buy me something and take me out to dinner. Probably beg me for sex. I think I'll hit her up for a video game or something cheap like that.
The thing is... I'd be perfectly fine if she didn't bother with that bullshit at all. I probably wouldn't even notice. I just don't care. Females tend to care about that shit though... I'm just along for the ride.
It's just another day and she can take me out to dinner on any other day and it would be just as special. I think us humans are getting close to the point of not falling for these government gifted "special days" that make more than 50% of the population just roll their eyes. But... when I was single...
That's the day I'd hit the bars and pick up some broken heart and hand it back to her with my penis in it. I gotta give these dumb celebration days some credit... if you want to pick up some new pussy (at least new to you), take advantage of that day and New years...
It simply works.
I actually wanted to go out and do the traditional stuff but then I thought what he would want to do. Cause I know he wouldn't want to do that. He loves Warhammer so I told him we can stay in, I'll cook a fancy dinner, and we can play a long table top game cause I've been interested in it lately as well. And when I said that he got so happy!! And that's all I want for Valentine's Day is for him to be happy. And that makes me happy. ☺️

I expect nothing. A manufactured holiday certainly doesn't entitle me to any kind of expectations.
Having said that, I'll be making her a strawberry whip cream cake in the shape of a heart (I hate strawberries), because its her favorite, and we're spending the weekend up in the Sierras in the snow, because she's only seen snow once.
We usually splurge and split a box of chocolates and cards.

:) We don't do a thing that day except perhaps have a really good meal and bottle of wine at home. We refer to Feb. 14th as "Amateur's Day". It's one of the 4 or 5 days where "most" guys who don't do much for the women in their lives the rest of the year feel obligated to do something. The other days are birthdays, anniversaries, religious holidays and whatever other date she remembers as important.
If you haven't reserved flowers or a table yet, it's probably too late guys! Good luck.
A kiss maybe. I’m opposed to the idea that this day we are expected to express our love. And with grandeur.
I don’t need some over the top display just because De Beers says that’s love.
He fills me up everyday. Don’t need a top up come Valentine’s Day.I just have a sex buddy, and because we are in a kinky relationship with no commitment, last year for St. Valentine day, as a joke he bought me a cake. He gave it to me and he smashed on my face to make me a joke. A kinky joke where the rest follow... I let you imagine what followed xD
It was a funny moment. No commitment no anxiety about St. Valentine, I don't have to think about it.
With him, every day is a beautiful day, regardless of special occasions.
He takes me out for lunch or dinner or late night dates or all of 'em almost everyday.
Additionally, he always treats me well with his usual antics and bits of romance everyday.
Valentine's Day is no different except for the addition of flowers and a more expensive restaurant.
My lover? Hadn't had one since 2020, my friend, as sad as that may sound. This year's Valentine's day will go as it's mostly always gone so far; like any other day of the year, but with couples being extra affectionate towards their S/Os moreso than usual
Another fun day like everyday he treats me really really well… it’s a weekday/workday…so we will celebrate the weekend after …always fun to be together … nice box of special dark chocolate … just relax.
he got up 5am this morning to make me a nice cup of hot chocolate to take to work… so it’s like Valentine’s Day every day with us.I’m not really expecting anything.
I’ll be in NY for a work conference next week and he’ll be in Belfast with his grandparents.
Then we both will meet in Cape Verde for the week. So I guess it just works outNothing really but some good sex lol
We're long distance so I won't be able to see him on the actual day but we have a dinner date and movie planned for this weekend for Valentine's day.I would expect a Red rose and a kiss🙂 IT would be nice if he also said 'Please, be my Valentine'.
I'm single so nothing 😢. But if I had someone I'd want her to seduce me and tie me up with red ribbons 😍. I'm lesbian lol
Well , its first year single for a long time , but I would never put pressure on a commercial day , because in my mind that's complete and utter bullshit.
Good luck and enjoy to all..
He always plans a nice date for us. We've gone to the same place the last two years and I think we're going there again this year. It's our favorite. We don't buy each other gifts though. Well, three years ago he bought me a sex toy and told me "this is all I want on Valentines Day". So every year I put it in before we have sex and it gets him so hot, lol.
Nothing. He treats me well all the time, not just on special occasions.
Single 💔 but when i get a lover, i will expect a dinner in a luxury way.
Sex, headjobs, handjobs plus I get to do a facial.
Im 26 and never had a boyfriend never celebrated Valentine’s Day ever.
same as last year a small [two inch] heart shaped chocolate to symbolize valentine.
