nah not sad at all. You could get her flowers and chocolate like everyone else, or you could do something creative. Even if its not your idea, I think she'd appreciate the latter.

we already went out to dinner this saturday. I wanted to go to this nice french restaurant but their special 5 course meal was all reserved for the 14th about 2 weeks ago. So, they had a saturday offering as well and I took it.

I also bought her a new winter jacket. It's mainly a gift for me since she has a winter jacket that she likes that but that I hate to see on her.

I'm late to this conversation, but she sounds like an ice-hockey player.

Anyway, V-day for me is the best and worst.

Wife may say - "don't get me anything" or if asked about a specific item she may respond "no, not that" and it is the one time of year she really does not mean what she says. Conversely, a response of "that would be nice" or "who wouldn't" means - I couldn't give a rat's ass if anyone bought that for me.

But me, I'm literal, though experienced.

One year, early on, I did "de minimus" - read card, flowers and dinner at home, cooked by me. Result - I got the weeping wife, who was really hoping for some nice bejeweled token of affection. (See translation codes above).

So, now I always get her something she has told me not to get her for Valentine's day. I make darned sure to verbally scout the forbidden and unwanted territories weeks in advance. And then, choose one or more of those items for the day itself.

Which all in all makes for a positive outcome all-round.

This year going out to eat once again made the cut. Having vetted her response quite clearly I have no reservations about our reservations tomorrow. Oh, yes and as she specifically said no flowers you know they are high on the list. I'm thinking a corsage or Orchids would be a nice touch rather than roses.

We've agreed that 'bejeweled' tokens are for anniversaries divisible by 10.

I'm psyched that my wife isn't that 'into' Valentine's Day. I find I'm much more likely to get her flowers at random times during the year since I don't have to drop coin on out-of-season roses once a year. :wink:

The wife is very good at inventive math. I think she believes in the decimal calandar at times.
