So, valentines day...

[thesrdic]

Sounds like you should do something about that then. Just a thought.

It's not like I haven't tried..

 

[W3H5]

Maybe she understands that Valentines day is for the secret lovers?

Too true, only my mistress got a gift this year.

Guys I don't want to sound mean, but some of you're comments made me chuckle, it's just a day, no need to be so down in the dumps.. Try doing something about if you're all so sad. I'm single, but I'm happy about it, I have plenty of lady friends to keep me "occupied" I know this sounds like something an 8 year old would say to try and sound cool, but no lie, with risk comes reward, no need to be so negative, be happy

That's easy to say when you know you can 'get' women. If you have no clue where to start, it can be very tormenting. Taking risk after risk without results is insanity.

A few posts in here scream 'I'm friend-zoned but can't face the truth'. Don't blame the girl for friend-zoning you, she isn't a 🤬 for wanting a 'better' guy than you. You've put yourself in that situation, unknowingly, and now your chances are 99% blown.

It all reminds me of how much I used to suck with women, not a pleasant feeling at all. I even drove away girls who initiated the flirting with me, and in my blind panic to get closer to them to rescue the situation, totally screwed my chances. You guys have no idea of just how clueless I was. Really. I doubt anyone posting here is/was worse.

I'd really like to try and help those who are struggling if I can. Is there a premium relationship/dating advice thread? I seem to remember there was a regular thread of that kinda, may have to dig it back up if anyone is interested?

Being confident around the female gender is a skill that we should learn/be taught throughout early life but, like rough play and other skills as a small child, is no longer being passed on by fathers to sons. If you don't yet know how, you most certainly can learn.

Stupid holiday. I'm somewhat glad I don't have a female partner because I'd have to spend money on her gifts.

Never said I could just "get" women, and it's not like I was never in the same boat(I just happen to be single remember), I know what its like to, It wasn't my intention to offend anyone and if I came across that way then I apologize. I've been in just about every situation described in here, it sucks I know. My confidence has grown as I've become older and now I can talk to anyone, keep your head up guys, you'll find someone one day.

False. Unless the female partner in question has a violent past and/or a bigger knife than you do, buying gifts is entirely optional.

EDIT: Mac, no problem with your post here, sorry if I came across a little harsh.

I was just pointing out that (as you know) things aren't always so simple.

 

[Peter.]

My pockets would have been a hell of a lot more empty if I had a Valentine. Being single saves money. Sadly, that's the only benefit I can think of.

 

[Skython]

I'm alone. I sent a futile e-Mail to the one on my mind. I know, pure class.

Spending the day eating cereal and listening to music. Just like any other day, really.

Eat it from a cup. It tastes better.

I personally have never gotten Valentine's Day, why should you need a specified day to do something special for the one you love? Not to mention there is nothing you can do that isn't extremely cliche.

As for me, I won't be lonely, I'll be at work all night, yay retail!!!!

It's a day for those who are either in short term relationships, or in a bad long term one. This is their time to show they don't want to be alone because they know she'll take the house.

For me, yeah Valentines was alone, but could have been changed if I wanted it to. But I chose to laugh at the silly boys walking around with a ridiculous teddy bear trying to fool us into thinking it's for someone who actually cares about them.

I think Highschool is too young to have a relationship. The thing is that it really leads up to bad things at the end. Also people get nosy.

International #### Day.

Must be a few people on this site that had an awkward moment where they had to make an excuse to leave wherever they were because they had to go do something.
They know what you were really going to go and do. Muhahaa.

All the girls I've known previously had boyfriends that would give them expensive gifts (gold necklaces and so on) on minor holidays like this. I consider myself in a relationship hopeless.

That doesn't mean to say that you need to continue the trend by buying gifts. All my girlfriends, past and present, were spoilt with expensive gifts on a regular basis by previous boyfriends.

I give gifts when I feel they are appropriate/deserved, not when i'm told/expected to. Yes, my girlfriend would probably like some expensive jewelry or a new pair of designer heels for a Valentines gift, but she knows I that don't believe in 'buying' her affection.

I told her from the very start of our relationship that I don't celebrate Valentines day, i've stuck by what I told her even when she throws a strop about it. She knows to expect nothing but the love and support I always show towards her every day of the year, and if that's not good enough then she can find some mug who is willing to pay to be with her.

It doesn't have to be so expensive even if you do celebrate valentine's day. I got my girlfriend a small box of chocolates, a little stuffed animal she thought was cute, and I gave her a card. I ordered a bouquet of flowers, a mixture of Yellow and white flowers (yellow's her favorite colour) for 20 bucks, and I'm going to cook a nice dinner on friday. Overall I'll spend 40 to 50 bucks total on V-day, and I'll be doing something far more special than just a dozen roses (which would be 60+ on its own).

I don't think celebrating valentines day is a bad thing, just don't go nuts and buy jewelery worth hundreds of dollars.

I think cooking is the best part. That's one thing I did do, cooked her a nice meal and made dessert while she was showering after work. Usually we share the cooking as a chore, but I think I enjoyed experimenting with a new recipe as much as she enjoyed eating it, yesterday!

 

[bladezzz]

The girlfriend was whining over the amount of tattoo's I've got over the last year and the few she's got.

So, yesterday I took her out for a romantic dinner and asked what she wants for her birthday coming up in a few days.
A pole-dancing course (follow up on the last she did)....or an hour worth with my tattoo artist.
Confinced her to go for the tattoo so today I'm gonna call him for a hour for her....And 2 4hours sessions for me

WIN-WIN

 

[Tesla]

Wait... you've could've had a girlfriend who could poledance, but you told her to get a tattoo instead?

 

[bladezzz]

She already did a pole dancing course so she already can do it
This would be the follow up course which she'll probably still do but have to pay it herself 👍

And if I give her a tattoo, she can't moan about me getting my leg finished

 

[Bram Turismo]

I went to the cinema with two mates. The entire room was filled with couples that somehow wanted to see Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

It was a depressing sight

 

[axletramp]

Last night's Valentine nom nom noms...



First drink in 2 1/2 weeks and we go for it. Yay! No hangover either - double Yay!

Wow Axletramp. I thought I had a decent night, I would have traded it in for all that delicious seafood.

And as for all this 'friendzone' stuff? It doesn't make sense to me. If you like a girl, make your intentions very clear from the outset. Confidence is key and always will be. Carpe diem and all that with a side of:

 

[Azuremen]

It's not like I haven't tried..

Stop trying and actually do it then. Might take a couple of more tries though.

 

[Danny]

Didn't get a card from my partner of 3 years.

Not impressed.

 

[axletramp]

Did you throw things around the room and storm out?

Here have one from me...


(yeah OK I posted it before but tough)

Aren't they intended to come to the same cinema as an appointed place for a sacred date on the Valentine's day? it sure is a pleasant(or enraptured)moment for both partners of the couple to celebrate the same anniversary and reconfirm their love along with others, but can be so tumultuous and disturbing for those who are onlookers on such a romantic event beside.

 

[masterrawad]

^ this should answer your question. I couldn't work up the courage to tell her plus they ran out of flowers for sale

 

[Hollow]

I don't get the disappointment. If you are alone on valentines, you were most likely alone the rest of the year too lol so get bummed out for the whole year instead of just one day.

Or you could just follow what Azuremen said, I mean how hard can it be to get a girl to date you? lol

I usually don't get bummed out,but Valentine's day just reminds me of being alone for 6 years.

I've tried Dating many times,it just doesn't work out for me.

This woman i work with,who i've known for a long time,tells me that i am too nice.She told me being too nice,just shows that i'm weak and i can't be a man(yeah i know,low blow).She told me women like a guy who is a butthead most of the time,but can also be nice occasionally.She said "we just like drama.Yeah i know where crazy".

I was like,well looks like i'll be single for a long time then.
