Valentine's day activities?

[Narz]

I finally have a solid S.O. after being single/short-term roller coasters for the last few years. I kinda hate having to do celebration type stuff unless I have a really good idea, maybe I'll bring her to the kava bar.

Anyone got special plans? Or for the forever-alones what would you do if you had someone to do it with?

Valentine's day falls on a Tuesday this year. I don't think I have anything special planned. I might try to see if I can get a date on tinder but other than that I don't really care I guess

February 14 is an excuse for guilt-free chocolate, as are Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. That's about it.

It probably says a lot about OT that I thought this thread was going to be about warnings of terrorist attacks or something.

Depends on what kind of person my hypotethical girlfriend is lol

personally I'd like to avoif the "holyday". Like even commercialism and so on aside valentines day kinda isn't special you know? Like, it's a generic thing for everybody and nothing that would matter for me or her.
But if she cared about stuff like this I'd go at least somewhat out of my way to figure out something, but without a specific person in mind I dunno man.
If she'd be a person that didn't care then I'd forget the whole thing

Instead of Valentine's Day, Feb 14 should be a celebration of the anniversary of when James Cook was lynched by native Hawaiians.

Got a few little gifts for the kids and a necklace for the wife. No big plans to go out yet, see what people feel like doing when the day comes.

February 14th is a great transition day. Lose the old girlfriend by not getting her anything on Valentine's and pick up a new girlfriend that was similarly neglected by someone else.

My first smartphone should arrive. I'm so excited!

 

[Old Hippy]

If there is a terrorist attack on Valentine's Day, I'd wait for the death count to rise to double figures before entirely counting out the possibility that it's an elaborate marriage proposal.

I have... an appointment on valentine's day, with my optometrist That's kind of like a date, right?

 

[civvver]

I'm not doing anything, I've been married 7 years, we have two kids, valentine's day is on a school night and we just started an aggressive budget plan last month due to some holiday exuberance. So I might buy my daughters some cheap flowers and I'll probably get my wife a new blender she is going to buy anyway. Real romantic but we're kind of over valentine's day at this point. Anniversary takes it's place as the romantic highlight of the year.

If you don't see a ring it's officially a date.

 

[Hygro]

Me, Owen, Farm Boy, and Perfection are gonna ride around on Perfy's hotwheel doing donuts and pegging freshmen with water balloons.

 

[stfoskey12]

I might buy cheap chocolates the day after.

Since what age this applies? I feel sorry for myself, I dated or tried to date girls in 20s, maybe it was them.

 

[dusters]

I have zero idea what my SO will come up with. Usually everything ends in philosophical debate about meaning of life, politics and aesthetics. Being together with a philosopher has its ups, she always has something to ramble about.

I usually go snowboarding, but have been to work like twice in the past month so I think I need to go to work.

 

[Lemon Merchant]

No S.O. to speak of, but I have just started dating this lovely young woman. Perhaps some flowers are in order?

Sigh. A stupid holiday engineered by Hallmark, florists, and jewelry stores. When will we ever learn?
