Third, let him know that Valentine's Day is important to you. Let him know that February 14th can be as important to a woman as the Super Bowl is to a man. That, he will understand. Not every woman likes Valentine's Day. Not every couple wants to celebrate on a day where the menu prices are escalated. It's a very personal and emotional day for Valentine's Day is an odd holiday: for some people, it's super important, but for others, it's not especially significant. If you've been dating for 2 months, it's possible you both misunderstood each other's expectations for the day. It's totally valid to care about Valentine's Day and to be hurt that he didn't get you anything. The best thing you could do is not get upset with him. If he asks you out for the 13th or the 15th, reply with, “Oh, I was hoping I’d be your Valentine.” READ MORE: 7 TIPS TO GET LUCKY IN LOVE ON VALENTINE’S DAY. You’ve only gone out on five dates and that’s a lot of pressure to put on a guy when a relationship is so new. It’s best to give this guy a nice breakup as a Valentine’s Day gift. My Husband Didn’t Get Me Anything For Valentine’s Day. We are not talking about some random boyfriend here; we are talking about your husband here. You expected a nice Valentine’s Day gift from him but didn’t get it. Maybe this is the reason: 1. After five dates, on the Saturday before Valentine's Day, we slept together. Valentine's Day comes and goes and he didn't mention it to me, didn't ask me out, or even say "Happy Valentines" day to me. Even when there’s a celebration like birthdays or valentine’s day that you should go out and celebrate, your boyfriend insists on celebrating at home. I know it’s frustrating that your boyfriend never takes you out. I used to be like him. I didn’t see any need to g out when we could have a great time indoors. This describes me and my partner. We will have anniversary soon and for entire year I have been saying: "you plan valentines day and I'll make nice anniversary" I have mentioned day before if he could plan something. We had argument today and he have accused me of making him read my mind. He could have told me if he didn't know what to do. You may love your boyfriend very much, but if you both have very different interests, needs, and wants – you are not going to be happy together. In my case, my current boyfriend loves going out but I prefer staying indoors mostly. We compromise. Whenever he feels like going out, we do go out for dinners or movies. We talk about disrespect and manipulation, so if you talk to him and it turns out his reasons were “I wanted to see how you’d react” or “We had a fight, so I didn’t want to get you anything” you might want to reconsider your relationship with him. Reasons You Got Nothing For Valentine’s Day With Your Boyfriend Some Men Don’t Know I told my boyfriend to plan something for valentines day No you didn't. You said "You do something nice and romantic on valentines dayI just want some romantic time with you" Nothing about planning something special. I had to check the ages. You're acting like 17 not 27. Grow up. Use words more effectively. He's not a mind-reader. I’ve (29F) have been with my boyfriend (28M) for about a year and a half. We’ve talked about my past relationships and they all ended because they never put any effort in. I was always triggered around Valentine’s Day when they didn’t plan or get me anything. As an example: If my way to offer and receive affection for my special someone is through sharing quality time with them and they just blow me off on Valentine's Day, I'd probably feel hurt too, unless we'd both discussed it and decided that Valentine's day didn't really hold any significance for us. Yesterday I was waiting for my boyfriend to wish me a happy Valentine’s Day but when it came around 6 o’clock and he still didn’t say anything about it I brought up how it hurt my feeling because I felt like he forgot it was valentines and he knew we already couldn’t see each other because of work and travel distance. This is our second valentines and last year he did. I made him something and it ain't much but it took me a few hours. I gave it to him this morning and he seemed to like it and said we have to go to Walmart to get u something. I had a partner in the past who hated Valentines day. But I love it. We ended up agreeing to alternate. One year we do it, one year we don’t. Things didn’t work out long enough for us to even have to (he moved 1000 miles away last minute and we didn’t want to try an LDR) but it was an interesting idea He has his daughter full-time so it’s not a question of not seeing her enough. We also don’t live together, he texted me happy valentines day this morning and told me his plans to have dinner at home with his daughter, didn’t invite me and didn’t plan anything with me. I am left to spend Valentine's Day alone in my apartment. so as we all know, valentine’s day was yesterday. earlier on in the week my boyfriend and i talked about our plans for the special day. i told him that i think valentine’s day is kind of dumb (he agreed) and that he didn’t have to get me anything. we’ve been together for 10 months on the 25th. this was our first valentine’s day together so even though i told him i think it’s a I’m not sure if I’m taking this too deep but I got my boyfriend of 8 months a couple of things for Valentine’s Day, some chocolate, a necklace and made him a card. I used the last of my money this week for all that and gave it too him as soon as I saw him. He didn’t give me anything in return and just said thank you. Apart from my boyfriend in high school, I have never had a "do you like/dislike Valentine's Day" conversation with a boyfriend, so I don't know if those are standard practice for most couples. If she is the one who feels like it's an important day, shouldn't she bring it up to him a week prior? Is it a bad sign if my boyfriend of 6 months didn't initiate any plans for Valentine's Day? 2 days before I finally texted him to ask if he wanted to do something. I ended up making a dinner reservation since he didn't follow up after that. He did pay for the dinner but didn't give me a gift or card.
