can you share your "VALENTINES DAY" experience?

In ninth grade, a friend who I liked promised me that he would have something for me at lunch the Friday before V-Day. (It was on Sunday, if I remember right.) I waited for him at lunch, but he didn't show up — he'd had band that day. I confronted him, he apologized profusely (he actually called himself a "selfish pig"), and I got the gift the following Monday. (A dating book he'd compiled out of Far Side comics.) We had a falling-out a few months later, and I gave it back. I regretted it deeply then, but I don't really care about it anymore.

I have had that little heart flip when you make eye contact and then wondered for awhile, but to be honest it doesn't last more than a few days.  Unless I happen to see him again, like someone from a place you frequent, etc., then yeah I sometimes will have giddy little fantasies involving romantic dinners or tropical vacations.

The art wall in my piano studio is covered with home-made cards & hand-drawn pictures. It's my favorite wall in the whole house. My students all went home with homemade chocolate chip cookies & pipe cleaner hearts. \n\nMy kids got to eat the leftover cookies. They'll be workin' on that 'til St. Patrick's Day. They also received pipe-cleaner hearts, and are still being occasionally grabbed & smothered with hugs & kisses. They wish Valentine's Day was over.\n\nIf I had a guy of my own, the one thing he could give me that I would most enjoy would be to sing to me. Down on one knee, hold my hand in his, look into my eyes adoringly, and sing to me. It wouldn't matter how he sounds, as long as he honestly loves me. I'd probably cry, but that's what I'd want more than anything else.\n\nFlowers are pretty cool, too.

Woman's input:\nValentines Day is good but the day before is more Romantic.  Then you have the present: flowers, candy, etc. the next day to further say it all over again.  Real clincher.

i feel like valentine day is not fair. i have always had someone to share it with, but i always feel like the day is very depressing for those single people. you have a good point ---- to love everyone and not just your companion. i feel guilty when i have a valentine and some of my friends don't. they shoul make a singles day. haha

ehh dont feel like you have to.. its only if your wanting to spend time with a certain someone. dont feel pressured, and dont feel bad if the case is that you just dont have someone that you would like to spend that time with. valentines day has a way of getting people all flustered for nothing.

It sounds stupid, and everyone says it, but you JUST KNOW.  I kept asking people and they could never describe or categorize it and, when I fell in love the first time, I just knew.  I don't know how I knew, but I did.  I felt an overwhelming sense of love for my boyfriend and I kept weeping at dinner (which was unfortunate, because we were at a really nice restaurant--pretty disastrous).  ; )  I was totally consumed with love, I couldn't think of anything else and I was so happy.  I felt like I was going to burst, literally, with love.  So, I finally told him about 30 minutes later--in a silly place-in his car, in the garage.  Not really romantic, but I couldn't wait any longer.  I told him that'd I'd fallen in love with him.  : )

I went to one of my cousins. She called it a committment ceromony. It was unlike any I'd ever been to. Partly because they were two women and yes, at first it was a bit strange, but also because it was not your every day same old same old....bride cuts the cake....throws the bouquet...blah, blah, blah. Too many "weddings" are exactly alike.\nThis happened to be the most fun wedding (whatever u wanna call it) I've ever attended. The whole thing was held outdoors and after the ceromony everyone changed into casual clothes, ate BBQ, went swimming, danced, played cards and drinikng games. It really was a blast. After attending, I told myself when I get married I was going to have the same kinda thing....except the only difference being..I'd be marrying a man.

It started with a candlelight bubble bath in the whirlpool, complete with fresh roses. While I was relaxing in there, he was making me a special dinner which was both silly and romantic, just like him. A heart-shaped pizza topped with heart-shaped pepperonis (he actually cut each one into a heart shape himself), which was also served by candlelight...\nhttp://photos.hi5.com/0000/991/626/QLUAR0991626-02.jpg\n\nAfter dinner he slow-danced with me to several of my favorite love songs, then took me to the bedroom where he gave me a full-body massage (yes there were candles there too), which of course led to even greater things for the rest of the evening ;)

Yes, I have.  This is another secret look into the life and times of airplanegirl,\n\nI was at this party, before my marriage.  At this party there was this guy wearing tan dress slacks and a nice knit sweater.  He had dark wavy hair, was about 6'2" tall and the most dreamy eyes I have ever seen.  Well, we got to talking and somehow ended up outside in the garden.  It was a cool February evening and I was chilly.  He gave me his leather jacket to drape over my shoulders.  As we were talking I was rubbing my neck - I carry a lot of stress in my shoulders, don't know why, just always have - and he noticed and gentle without a word, turned me around and slipped his big warm hands under his jacket - that was draped over my shoulders.  He gently massaged my shoulders.  His hands were like fire against my bare skin - I was wearing a shoulderless silk blouse.  It was so dreamy.  I swear I melted right then and their.  He was just chatting away, no banter, no innuendo's, it all was so "normal" like we had been together for years.  Then as he was talking, I turned around and gave him a kiss.  It was so forward of me.  I didn't even know this guy, but it felt so right.  We clung for awhile, kissing, looking into each others eyes as our foreheads touched.  The rest of the evening we danced, talked, drank had fun.  When the night was over, he went his way - he was only visiting from out of town and was leaving the next morning - and I went mine.  I have never talked nor seen him since, however, he lives in my heart to this day.  Nearly 20 years later.  :)

Te second kiss with my (now) fiance. Waves crashing down by the harbour, no moon unfortunately, but its was so taboo as we were 'just friends'. Chemistry raging and my (well both our) knees were about to give way. The rush is like something I've never had before, and totally amazing. Its when we both realised that we loved eadch other, after being friends for so long. Sorry if that was vomit-inducing!!\n\nOtherwise, generally?\n-Waking up to that person and watching them as they're still asleep\n-" " " " " and they're awake watching you\n- That feeling of satisfaction as you both eventually come to the end of conversation when the subject has been of things either one of you has told anyone else before\n-Falling asleep wrapped in their arms\n-The desparation felt on leaving that person's company for some time\n- The excitement of seeing them again + the first contact made after having not seen them for a some time\n- The loving feeling of having just made up after a fight, and realising that what we were fighting about was completeyl stupid etc etc etc and intimately making up\n\n...do you want me to go on??

Yes it special for me because I get to show my creativity. Even though I am not single right I never did feel sad when I was single because I always had my friend to back me up and we always showered each other with gifts and sometimes if it was during the middle of the week I would jump on the internet with a big box of cholocates (that my friend gave me) and look at single guys and maybe start up a chat with them and who knew sometimes I would end up with a midnight Valentine. :0)

The best feeling I ever experienced was on an evening out with my loved one. We were watching a movie about dancing that really touched her because she had always dreamt of being a dancer and had to stop learning. I was just sitting beside her and I was sharing every single emotion she was feeling watching that movie. I was so deeply connected to her in that moment I can hardly tell how it feels like to feel what your loved one feels. That unity is absolutely the best feeling I've ever experienced and the happiest moment of my life so far.\n\n(don't forget to select the best answer ;-) )

Yes. I have. Just remember Love is giving. And it MUST be a 2 way street.

I've always loved the time-frame that spans from right before Thanksgiving to Valentine's Day.  You've got several holidays in there...special times when people stop & realize that Love is a *verb* & treat each other accordingly.  :)  But, thanks to my fiancee & his 5 little girls, CHRISTmastime has become more special than I ever thought possible!
