Valentine's Day

Boyfriend said he’d plan valentine’s weekend then didn’t. How would you feel?

My boyfriend had mentioned that he would plan something for valentine’s day. Amazing! I’m always the planner so when he says he will plan something I’m all for it - and it makes me feel loved that he would put in the effort. We decided to do valentine’s day on the 15th rather than the 14th because of work, etc. So great. Then it gets to Thursday and I ask him if he’s found a restaurant or bar to go to, and he sorta looked at me sheepishly and said no. Then he started looking on his phone. Then he kept saying that he can’t find anywhere I would like or whatever and gave up. I thought he would look on his own yesterday (14th) while he was out of the house at work. I also thought he’d come home with some flowers or something just because it’s easy to do on the way home because his work is near lots of shops (even though we said we’d do valentine’s the say after). But no nothing. We exchanged some small fun gifts, but what he got me didn’t feel romantic. It’s lovely but he got me a makeup box. It’s pretty but it’s practical. I don’t want something practical for valentine’s day, I want something romantic. Even a cup with hearts on it or something! What happened to chocolates or flowers? I wrote him a card with a nice message (my love language is words of affirmation). I feel bad - I know at least he got me something - but a makeup box doesn’t give romance vibes to me. Yesterday was a stressful day so when I got home I was upset. He comforted me and ordered takeout. And that was our night. Then he said the takeout was our valentine’s meal… and although my brain agrees, my heart is a bit sad. Takeout is easy to order. But organising a nice meal or cocktails at a bar takes more effort, and I was looking forward to him planning something - I’m always the one who finds restaurants, etc. I was looking forward to dressing up and going out for a change! Anyway I’m just disappointed that he didn’t buy me flowers at least and that he raised my expectations and let me down
