Guys: Valentine's Day

[Sploosh]

Valentine's Day: coming up next Sunday.

Anyone got an idea for something a little special/different than the normal stuff? Now, I realise that we don't want to raise the bar to ridiculous heights, nor spend huge amounts of dosh, but perhaps there's something we could do other than a restaurant/choccies/flowers?

All ideas welcomed, as my brain isn't coming up with anything new at this stage.

Dinner that you cook yourself, followed by a drive to Glenelg after nightfall, with a ride on the Ferris Wheel, sharing a glass of champagne as the stars come out. Followed by a walk up Jetty Road to get Andersens Ice Cream, which you both then have as you walk along the beach, barefoot in the sand. From there, a drive to a nice cafe to have a coffee/hot chocolate, before a slow drive home, listening to Nigel Kennedy or the like, before home time

Mrs Pseudo has managed to completely forget Valentine's Day for the last 2 years. Yet I know that if I forgot, I'd be sleeping on the sofa.

So many lines..............so much temptation...........so much discipline not to respond

Ah the biggest benefit of being single - you don't have to deal with Valentines Day

A top effort if you do all that, but blimey, I was kinda hoping not to raise the bar THAT high...

[Sploosh]

keg of beer?

for something different and given i work sunday nights, going to the botanical garden movies, and its hard for me to buy flowers as my gf makes bunches etc, so i always feel if i buy them she looks at them in terms of style and costings and not appreciate them for what they are - well thats my excuse anyway!

Suggestion....

Get into the spirit for starters !!

Cook a meal for her.
Include a yummy dessert or valentine dessert like cheesecake with icing hearts.

Set up the table as such - (and have it set up before she walks in so it's a surprise):

Normal dinner setting.
Rose petals scattered over table.
Candle/s (red)
Love heart champagne glasses ($2 at cheap as chips!)
A single red rose on her dinner plate setting.
and/or a small teddy that simply says "I love you"
Romantic music in the background
Champagne

It doesn't have to be expensive - but it does have to be thoughtful.
Do you love her - then who cares if it's commericalism, blah, blah, blah - just do it
Besides think of the brownie points !!
