Okay, so I really want to spend Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend (of about 4 months) but she decided that she was going to accept plans with her two friends (male and female) instead of hanging out with me because the female friend didn’t want to be alone on Valentine’s day. Which of course, leaves me alone. Yes, they can opt out. Let them opt out in peace then, instead of you being condescending. And you're right. If you don't spend $30 on a card, chocolate and flowers, then you definitely don't give a shit about you SO. Making an effort on Valentine's Day is great if you're SO is into it, but if you don't it doesn't mean you don't care about them. And I know if at least she was guaranteed an intimate experience she would have took time to consider would have desired to spend time with me instead of rejecting my offer. I don’t know how to feel about any of this. tl;dr I asked my GF (22F) to be my Valentine’s late (bad planner) she declined says I didn’t consider her schedule. If your new partner doesn’t want to do something special for Valentine’s Day and you do, this suggests he’s just not that into you, or may signal important information about clashing values. Valentine’s Day, like many holidays, often tap into traditions and messages you’ve internalized since early childhood. If your boo would rather die of 1,000 paper cuts than take a romantic horse and carriage ride or go to a fancy restaurant on Valentine's Day, think of celebrating with low-key things you both You don’t have to fake excitement; Valentine’s Day can be just another day to you. But it’s not “just another day” to your spouse. How you feel about Valentine’s Day isn’t important; what is important is your spouse, and how your feel about him or her. Whatever you think about the day, it matters a lot to your spouse. Some people truly hate Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, some of them may end up in relationships with people who expect them to celebrate it. Both partners can be happy if they are both willing to As Valentine’s Day approaches and puts pressure on couples to have the most romantic day possible, Olivia Petter suggests some alternative date ideas to make things more interesting Doesn't matter—here are some fun Valentine's Day activities to do on February 14. may be a date-night staple—and a great Valentine’s plan—but don’t be afraid to switch it up even if Being alone isn’t the same as being lonely! Explore the benefits of being alone on Valentine’s Day and get 10 ideas for how to spend the holidays solo. Valentine’s Day has a way of making single people feel like they should be sobbing into a heart-shaped pizza while the couples they know frolic through a rom-com montage. Yo, so I (16M) am working this Tuesday, Valentine’s Day, and my girlfriend (17F) wants me to take it off and hang out with her. She’s making Valentine’s Day a big deal and honestly, I don’t like the holiday because of the materialism associated with it, I’m a Buddhist and I believe you don’t need to give material things to show your affection. First of all, I don't get why, regardless of gender, if you want to celebrate Valentine's you can't just say so. There are plenty of people who don't like it, they should be allowed to express it, and no one should feel pressured into (dis)liking it. I've never understood why saying you like it if you do is so taboo. You don’t have to spend hundreds on a spa day to enjoy Valentine’s Day together. Light a candle to set the mood, throw in some bubbles, and have a spa night at home. Try this: Incorporate extra elements like soothing music and face masks to elevate your at-home spa experience, a truly affordable Valentine’s Day idea. "You are the highlight of my day, every day." "I can’t wait to hold you in my arms tonight." "You make my heart feel lighter and my days brighter." "Every day with you feels like Valentine’s Day." "I love the way you make me feel." "You’re the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing before I sleep." Not a holiday like Valentine's day. It's too specific to one person in your life. Most holidays aren't like that. Plus you could unintentionally make the person feel BAD about not having anyone to celebrate that day with. I don't see any good reason to ask unless you like them For me, I don't really care about valentine's day. But the most important thing to me for special occasions is just to spend time with my SO. Since you unfortunately won't be able to be with her on that day, I'd have something or other delivered so she knows you're thinking of her and wish that you could be together. Plan your OWN valentine's day. My boyfriend and I have been together for 12 years and we don't exchange gifts but that was something we agreed on together and we make sure to spend the day together and have fun and romance. It should be something he's willing to talk about, rather than just making you feel like a chore. At this point, its more of a power trip/stubborness if he can't even just say "Happy Valentine's Day". I don't expect anything from my wife today, but I will always make sure to spoil her because 1) its important to her and means the world to her, 2) shows my daughters to find a guy that appreciates them, and 3) shows my son to show 2. Get Dressed up for a Photo Session. Pick a pretty, romantic location and ask a friend with a decent camera to play photographer. Get photo ready with dazzling makeup and a gorgeous dress, and have him wear something nice and dressy. A lot of times we try to justify other people’s actions for them and make them seem more okay than they really are. Ultimately it’s up to you whether it’s effected you enough to talk to him about, but if I was in your shoes I would be pretty hurt and want to know why he chose to spend the one day of the year that’s for couples with a friend.
