It's recently past the hour of midnight here in Australia, and I'd just like to wish everyone on GTPlanet a very happy Valentine's Day, and may you get all that you wish for, or in some cases, who you wish for.

Feel free to share your Valentine's Day with us, but remember that this is a family forum. ;)
 
I already have mine, thanks. :)

Dated for 6 months and been married for 7 years. Two houses, 2 dogs and 2 kids. I'll take those numbers.

Have a good one, GTP!
 
Thankfuly, we have this thread, since it's still 13th here.

Anyway, Feb. 14th is my mom's birthday, so I always have that excuse.
 
Well, my wife is getting flowers and balloons delivered to work and then I bought her tickets to a Kenny Chesney concert. :yuck: Why is anyone worth $64 to see and why does Ticketmaster charge a $10 fee on top of it all? Online convenience is not worth $10! That will be the last ticket I buy through them. It is cheaper to drive to the venue.

Then Saturday we are going to a restaurant called The Melting Pot that specializes in fondue. She's been wanting to go there for months.



Now, since my wife is one of the all-time worst gift-givers (all my Christmas DVDs were in fullscreen because she went to the discount rack, and some were movies I don't like) I decided to try heavy hinting. After she asked if I wanted Coldplay tickets (NO!) I realized I had no option. I brought up the PC game I wanted on Amazon's website and left the website up on the computer, even when it was in sleep mode. It went three days with her minimizing it and bringing it back up when she was finished before she asked if I was trying to leave a hint. :dunce:

Let's put aside the fact that I have been talking about this game since last May.
 
And they say guys can't take a hint, eh? :lol:
 
Nothing personal to any of you, but I don't want any of you guys for my Valentine.:yuck:

I really need to get some flowers for my hunny though. Thanks for the reminder Jimmy!

Well don't just leave us hanging there....what game is it?
 
I bet it's "Barbie Riding Club". That's why his wife didn't take the hint...

Happy Valentine's Day GTP, it's still 16:32 February 13th here. Tomorrow me and my best mate are taking our girlfriends out bowling and then for a meal, should be fun. :)

Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.

I am a big fan of the RCT games but got out of it when my old PC had both optical drives die and I went a long time just using it as an Internet and office machine. When I bought my new PC back in May I instantly wanted to by RCT3 and everytime I mentioned it I was given the "Maybe it will be a birthday/Christmas/anniversary gift" line. So I never bought it.

If I don't get it this time around I am taking my Best Buy rebate gift card and going out to get it.

Oh, I have also been getting the same line for the Transformers DVDs for about two years now.

Big difference between want and need, Pako.

Not valentines day here yet. My family is goin on a skiing trip tomorrow so thats what I'll be doin all day. I don't have anyone to give a valentines gift as there no one I really like at all right now.
 
So here's my issue with Valentine's day...

Many women forget that this is a two-way street. Valentine's day isn't just about women, it's about couples. That means if your man is getting you flowers and candy and kenny chesney tickets :yuck:, you've got to get him something too ;)
 
Ah, this one girl I love to death, and would do anything would be nice to have a Valentine. But I'm still 6 hours away from Valentine's Day, and we're pretty much great friends.

Anyways, if I don't get anything for her, I'll always have Kelly.

But what could a guy possibly want on valentines day other then *ahem* favors *ahem* would you like to recieve a nice thing of flowers from your lady? I know I wouldn't. For some reason it feels odd to give gifts that don't somehow pertain to the relationship and no guy wants any of those.

Good luck to whoever has a gf/wife, but completely forgot about this day. ;)

Oh. ****.



I got her a 10k gold necklace/pendant. She hates when guys spend over $20. I spent $54 and it was 60% off. w00t.

It's 8:58PM here on February 13th.
 
I bought a girl flowers. I almost wussed out and didn' give them to her, I almost wet myself when I did.

It wasn't really an attempt at getting her as a girlfriend, more a friendly gesture but I definately wouldn't have refused the other option. Didn't turn out as romantic as I'd hoped though.

:cheers: EXACTLY!
Read this.
Through a January telephone survey of 1,016 American adults, Discover Card found men planned to spend an average of $127 on Valentine's Day, compared to women surveyed, who intended to spend an average of $74.

Anyone else see the problem here?

Now, why is there this discrepancy? I can tell you that men spend that much to stay out of trouble. If it doesn't look good then the woman gets mad in about ten different ways. God forbid that a co-worker get a jungle's worth of flowers when you only sent three roses, or even one dozen. You WILL hear about it.

Only if we don't screw up.

I am going to stereotype for just a second. We are men. Women make fun of men with about a million stereotypes. A stereotypical male will want one of three things as a gift; food, electronics, or accesories for electronics.

Heck, I'm not picky, a gift card to Best Buy or Circuit City (or equivelant) will work great.



Now, that all said; my wife got up to make me breakfast this morning, which is awesome considering I have to be up at 5:00 AM and she doesn't get up until 7:00 AM. I got a card and it was all very sweet and unexpected.

This evening I am cooking and I am still trying to decide between her favorite, chicken and dumplings, or my specialty, cornish hens.

She also already emailed me to thank me for the flowers I sent to work. They delivered them by 8:30 AM.

That would do it. :sly: Hey, man, these things happen. The only reason why I was comfortable with my wife was because I already had a ton of alcohol in me when she showed up at the party. I would typically stumble all over myself or chicken out altogether. You made the gesture, the scary part is over.
