What the best thing to do for Valentines Day when both of us are broke?

I know how you feel, even though my hubby and i decided a long time ago that gifts were out because it just can be so stressful when you're young and broke. This morning I got up and made the hubby breakfast in bed and tonight i have put together a little striptease. I think the striptease would be great on his part as well!!!

i say u can go out to dinner and get a few roses or perhaps her favorite flower. or if not dinner u can go treat her to a spa and bring small chocolates or her favorite candy. {with da candies have a cute small pocket bag w/ a nice bow/ribbon around it}. or if she's a going out person u can go to a hotel thats classy and u know she'll enjoy. or u can take a small trip sumwhere, it doesnt neccessarily have to be cheap but can be {non-expensive} and still romantic.\ngood luck.

Something little to let him know that you love him. \n\nBe creative! Valentine's day is not like Christmas where you have to give actual presents, it's about showing your love for your significant other.\n\nHere are some ideas:\n\n- Visit a local art museum alone, learn about the works with romantic themes, and bring your boyfriend back for a personal tour.\n\n- Go for a mystery ride to an unannounced destination. Keep your boyfriend guessing until you arrive at a favorite beach, ice cream palour, restaurant, theater, sport game, coffee shop, or ice skating/ roller skating rink, etc.\n\n- Fill his whole bedroom closet, garage, coat closet, car, drawer, bathroom cabinet, linen closet, etc. with balloons.\n\n- Woman:  Dress up & act ladylike.  Be polite & appreciate what the man is doing for you.  \n\nDon't spend a lot of money. Hope this helps you. Have fun!

Why don't you ask a good girlfriend over for dinner? Someone who needs a bit of cheering up? Someone who just lost someone precious? Practice making a special dinner for your love and make it first for a friend...open a good bottle of wine...have some laughs and watch a great romantic movie or something for girls...like "The Mirror Has Two Faces" (Barbra Streisand) \n\nI just had lunch today with 2 friends - one is from England, the other from Denmark, and we did most of the above activities. It was fabulously fun.

nothing is more romantic and cheaper than cooking for her and writing her a love letter which ul read to her after dinner while the two of you are alone on the porch or in the living room. plan the day. invite her for dinner. go to market to get cheaper products but good quality. cook her favorite. im a girl and i would love this from my man. it means, he can take time and feed me. and it may sound corny and all but love letter is still the best! and after u read it to her, she can keep it and can read that letter from time to time. and maybe give her a sinlge rose. thats cheaper than a dozen but its also very romantic. hope this will help.

Agreed. Keep it simple since you just started dating. I'd suggest dinner, or a romantic picnic (depending on the climate). You could also buy her a cute little stuffed animal or something simple to remember. Oh, if you haven't kissed her yet, save it until after dinner on Valentine's Day. She'll definitely remember that.

Before he comes over, sprinkle red and white rose petals trailing from your front door, to the living room. Watch your-guyses fave movie together, and after that, go out to eat to a fancy resteraunt. I know it doesn't seem like a present to you, but it'll mean a whole lot to him <3 hope it works out!

What are you... gift impaired? Go out for dinner and a movie,or give her flowers,or take her on a picnic, or if nothing else, at least get her a card. There are any # of things you can do. You don't have to spend a lot of money, but give it some thought....  maybe you could cook a nice dinner for her?

well it depends on your budget and what you both like.  You could go on a vacation...you could go to a local hotel...or you could make a nice dinner and have roses following to  the bed.  Dress in something sexy.  Go to a nice restaurant.  Go to the first place you met if possible. Theres many things you can do but again like i said before it depends on your budget and what you like!  Anyway congrats and good luck!

take her out to eat, open the doors for her, send her flowers for no reason at all. Put on the card, just because i love you. Fix her breakfast & bring it to her in the bed. When she comes in from work, have her a warm bubble bath with candles to light up the room and if she drinks, have her favorite drink waiting there for her. Go to the store and get a bag of rose petals and sprinkle them all over the sheets so when she pulls the covers back there they will be. Then give her a long rub down with some exotic oils & then snuggle up with her and if she's in the mood, make love to her. If that doesn't work, then your in deep trouble lol. Good luck

Make her something!  Something that you made with your own two hands, that will last forever, will be worth more than anything perishable, that you can just pick up in the store, by far.  Here is a list of ideas to get you started:\n\n1.  Make "coupons" for her.  An example would be one that says, "Good for one back rub."  She could cash these in at any time during the year and you can really get creative with the favors offered. :)\n\n2.  Make copies of excerpts of love letters (or emails) between the two of you and make a book out of it entitled "The Story of Us."  Mix pictures in with the letters, in between excerpts, of the two of you together.\n\n3.  Since you're sending her stuff, I'm assuming you won't be able to be together.  If that's the case, perhaps you could send her one wine glass, a mixed CD of romantic music, and a teddy bear wearing one of your shirts, that has your cologne sprayed on it.  Then, if you're able to talk on the phone, you can sip wine together, listen to the music together, and she can close her eyes, squeeze the teddy bear, and it will be almost like you are spending the evening together.\n\n4.  Send her a video-taped Valentine message.  Pour your heart out to her in the video and then, after you've finished talking, stop the camera.  Lay out some photos of the two of you.  Put a CD of "your song" in a portable CD player.  Set a pair of headphones so that they're directly over the microphone of the video camera.  Push play on both the CD and the video camera and pan across pictures of the two of you as your song plays in the background.  End the video by panning over a handwritten sign that says, "I love you.  Happy Valentine's Day."\n\nI hope this helps. :)  Best of luck!!

Isn't it kind of late for all this? Get him a watch or buy him a card and pour your heart out to him, or you could fix him his favorite dinner and dessert(notice I said fix and not buy).

Pack a suitcase with one outfit for tomorrow. Put it in the car. Make a reservation for a hotel room with a jacuzzi in it and send some flowers there. When she gets home blind fold her and take her to her ravishing spot. Its all you from there bud.

Occupy yourself with other things.  If you know that he is not the one that you want to be with, go out and do the things that you have always wanted to do.  If you don't have money, that is fine.  There are more than enough things out there that you could do without spending money.  It's going to be tough but sitting around and just thinking about it won't make it any better.
