Valentines day just cost me $140.
That said: this is the first year I've bought anything, my fiancee works for a florist of all places, so she does a 16hr shift the day before V-Day and then about 12-14hrs again on V-day, so I hardly see her, plus she gets free flowers anyway.
But this year she demanded a present, so I had to think up something clever, I think I did alright. But yes, expensive.

Yeah, you would think. Except she's told me she would still like flowers.. But I can't bring myself to do it, not when she gets them free.

P***y!
G'day mates
Ok I am going to hate myself for doing this post. For several years I had people I went to university with calling me DR. Love. I know it sounds really corny, but I have saved many friends relationships in the past. He is how it came to pass that I learned a few things about what women liked and wanted. In university I was a member of a few clubs with a lot of women in them. I also had a two classes with like 98% female students in them Well our professor same prof for both classes loved to assign class projects and he always wanted each group to have both a male and female point of view. Yep you guessed it I was a very wanted commodity in them two class for group project times
The girls all liked me because I never hit on any of them. I just kept my mouth shut and listened and learned as much as I could. Now for what matters to you.
Women do NOT care if its 1 flower or 12, flowers equal +1 point period. (reguardless of amount) Chocolates and a card means you could not be bothered think of anything original. 0 point or - 3 if you do not bother with anything A trip generally means your trying to impress them but they like it. +1 point
Never buy them anything DIET! or a gym membership, you are telling them you think they need to lose weight. -5 to -10 points depends on women's self esteem level.
So Jess you want to impress her, go out and find 1 beautiful looking origami rose. It will last longer or look it up on youtube and make a couple yourself. You will score major romance points! Give her a little business type card which reads "Get out of dishes free card", this card is good for one dish duty slave at any time once during the next 14 days You will score major romance points! You could also give her a few other cards with things to get her out of other chores, just make sure they are all good for no more than 30 days. The great thing is you choose which dutys you are willing to perform. and you will again score big bonus points. Buy her 1 and ONLY 1 chocolate cupcake. tell her that when you seen it it made you smile thinking about how much fun it would be to place it between her perfect breast and then lick the icing of of it, and smile devilishly. When she starts to speak you quickly growl and scope her into your arms and kiss her with VERY deep INTENSE passion, and also caress her buttock. You then say "baby I been thinking about you all day" kiss her again
Ok I could go on but I am tired.
Be cool mates and just ask if you need more help.
Ronin (Dr. Love)

I wish i had a girl to impress. This time being I have no one who is remotely a possibility to have a romance with. But I would like the opportunity to be romantic, to make a girl grateful she was my gf, or to treat someone special who I thought would remember me for my chivalry or my gentlemanly charms.
But I think being romantic is quite hard. It's not easy to second guess what your partner wants and fit that to what you want for the foreseeable future. But I have never had a valentines day without being single so I am not qualified to justify or protest valentines. My Mother owns a card shop and sells all sorts of valentines day gifts but I do not think it is suitable to treat someone special with a free gift. Even more than xmas, valentines is a day for proving that you're willing to put effort and some thought into the gift

This valentines costs me a bloody $200.
Soon I'll wake her up and tell her to get dressed then I'm taking her out to a nice breakfast restaurant.
After that we're going on a walk through the park down to the beach (even tho there's snow and ice all over but it kinda looks good).
After that we'll be having lunch at a chinese restaurant (she loves that food) and I'll give her her present. It's just a card but it says that I've booked her a good 3 hours at our local spa.
I'll end the evening with me cooking for her. For appeticer I'll do a ham and cheese platter. The main corse will be chicken in sambal olek gravy all made in the owen for about 2 hours which gives it extra flavour. To that I'll serve some shopped up potatoes, paprika, onion, carrots and some other delights. That will be topped with a tad of garlic and some mushroom soy, put that in the owen for about 1h15m. I'll also serve my homemade garlicbread and garlicbutter. For desert, she'll get strawberries topped with white choklate that's been in the owen for about 20m, served with some nice vanilla ice cream.
I really hope that this will score me some seriouse relationship points!!!
