i had the sweetest day of my life...\n\nmy boyf and i didnt plan anything for V-day because we both had work and we had conflicting schedules...(i go home 6am he goes to work 7am, i leave for work 8pm he arrives from work 6pm) so I wasn't really expecting anything...\n\nBut when it's time for me to go home from work (6am feb.14), some of my officemates were already teasing that a guy is waiting for someone outside and i said "no he's not my boyf" because I wasn't really expecting him but when I went outside there he was waiting for me with a big smile and as I was walking towards him...guess what?!! I didn't see this one coming...he handed me a bouquet of pink roses (a really nice one) and my officemates were like, "oh my gawd! he's so sweet"...\n\nI was very surprised and very touched. I felt very special that moment. Then we just had breakfast at his house then off we went to our different destinations...\n\nI love my man!! :)

*sigh*\n\nOk call me a fuddy duddy. But I guess I just don't feel that love should be celebrated on this one day because we are supposed to. Love should be shown every day. I sooooooooo prefer someone doing something for me spontaneously on some odd day just cause they so want to, instead of because they feel obligated to. Soooo, I plan on ignoring the day........and surprising someone I truly care about when he least expects it. It's just so much more meaningful that way! *sorry for being a little poopy head when it comes to Valentine's day**

Valentine's Day occurs annually on Februay 14. Modern day customs include sending greeting cards known as valentines to loved ones. School rooms are often decorated with lace and paper hearts. Gifts of candy and flowers are also common at this time.\n\nThe origins of Valentine's Day are uncertain. Many experts believe that it originated with Lupercalia, a Roman celebration honoring the wolves Romulus and Remus. During this festival, young men struck women with a goatskin hide called a februa. Receiving the blows was thought to make women more fertile and to ease childbirth. At Lupercalia, the names of all the young women in the city were placed in a box. Young men drew a name from the box and the couple would be paired until the next Lupercalia. Lupercalia was replaced with Valentine's Day by Christians.\n\nOthers trace Valentine's Day back to the rule of the Roman emperor Claudius II. In the 200's C. E., Claudius become frustrated when he had trouble recruiting soldiers into his army. Believing that the young men did not want to leave their wives and children, Claudius banned all marriages of single young men. However, a priest named Valentine disobeyed Claudius and performed secret marriages. Claudius found out about the marriages and sentenced Valentine to prison until his death on February 14, 270 C. E.\n\nMany historians believe the custom of sending poetic verse on this day originated with the capture of Charles, Duke of Orleans, during the Battle of Agincourt. From his prison cell in the Tower of London, Charles sent his wife a rhyming love letter.\n\nValentine cards became popular in Great Britain in the nineteenth century. Noted artist Kate Greenaway created cards which featured joyful children and beautiful gardens. Esther Howland was one of the first Valentine card manufacturers in the United States. Inspired by a British card, she began production in 1847. Her cards featured lace and paper flowers and leaves. Other card manufacturers emphasized Cupid, the pudgy, winged son of Venus, the goddess of love. In Roman lore, Cupid is known as Eros, the son of Aphrodite.

Came home from work on a nice sunny day.  On the table he left me a love note expressing his feelings.  The note said that there was a wild orchid for me in the bedroom (it smelled beautiful).  He also had me a fishing vest (yeah, now thats true love) hung on the back of the chair.  The note told me to put all my fishing stuff inside the vest.  As I was doing this I came across a small box with a ring in it.  Wasn't an engagement ring, just an "I love you" ring.  There was also a six pack of Miller Lite in the fridge for me!!

Well, I'm overdue to have my baby, so I might just be having her tomorrow *l* SO, I cooked up Valentine's dinner last night. It was Linguine with shrimp and creamy sauce, strawberry juice (that I made) because I can't have wine :oP and I served up some delicious vanilla ice cream as dessert topped with homemade strawberry topping/syrup.\n\nIt was a nice and romantic dinner, and we BOTH loved it :o)

Well 1st of all Advance HAPPY VALENTINES to you and your hubby...\n\nWell it's like this we don't know who your hubby is and we don't know what he likes or things he likes and since we do not know it I would like to stay away from telling you what to give him but what the hell here is my list:\n\nStuffs...\n\n1.) GIRLS... Have you ever given your guy flowers? It sounds crazy but yes it is so sweet...\n\n2.) Have you ever tried giving him a large stuff toy? And yes again it is crazy but again it is so sweet...\n\n3.) How bout giving him a box of his fav chocolate? \n\nBottom line here is "YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND SO MUCH TO GIVE SOMETHING TO HIM" and "THOSES STUFFS ABOVE SEEMS SWEET IF A GUY GIVES IT TO A GIRL BUT IT IS MUCH SWEETER WHEN THE GIRLS GIVE IT TO THE GUYS" \n\nHope I was able to help

Everyday is a good day to show Love, so a simple gesture like a heart shaped candy/chocolate, and a note/card...maybe dinner...in or out it depends on what would be more appreciated by your partner.  Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Definitely two or one REALLY good big one. \nIt's not your fault that you were born close to Valentines day and you deserve a Birthday just like everyone else does!

Nothing, because valentines day is a lame assed holiday created to make money for the greeting card/chocolate industry and make people think they're entitled to be treated extra special.  If he wants to impress me he'd do something nice for me on a random day when society didn't tell him he HAD to.  ;)

What is it for?  Birthday? Valentine's Day?  If it's for V-Day maybe you could take HIM out to dinner if it is usually the other way around.  Maybe a card and a heart-shaped cookie.  My wife did that for me when we were dating.  It was a really big chocolate chip heart cookie that was personalized.  I love getting stuff I can eat!

I made my boyfriend a scrapbook for Valentine's Day... Just a little one with pictures of everything from that year and wrote some sweet stuff in it.  A gift that he might like better though - buy yourself something sexy and have a dinner alone at home.  He'll love it!  :)

at my wedding I gave out candy tied in tool with a bell attached. I included a hershey hug, a kiss, and a dove promise. everyone thought it was cute. Another idea I heard of was putting seeds in a cute box, adding something about "watching love grow".
