Hi. Valentine's Day is coming. Should a man buy his girlfriend a gift?

The answer is no. This communicates so much: You don't need her approval. You won't buy her affection. You're not desperate to hang on to her.

Let's say your girlfriend is furious. She asks you why you didn't buy her anything. Just reply impassively, "No reason."

Let me submit something. So many girls break up with a guy after he lavishes her on Valentine's Day.

They do?

The reason I got mad at my BF last Valentines day was because were living long distance and I got him a big box of jelly bellys for Valentines day.

it made me feel selfish and stupid for getting upset-now we just figure we will "do something" special that day, for us.

I'm getting a macbook air for Valentines. It's from someone very special. Me.

Only I can make myself such thoughtful gifts.

My ass belongs on your face.

No he shouldn't, but not for all those crap reasons toofuzzy offered....

Val's day should be for the unrequited lovers only. All other lovers don't need a stupid excuse like Val's day to celebrate their love. Their love should be celebrated every day.


my face is finished, my body's gone and i can't help but think,
standin' up here in all this applause and gazin' down at all the young and the beautiful with their questioning eyes,
that i must above all things love myself

I don't think a woman would be attracted to a man who "celebrates his love" with her.

You are a very thoughtful person with great taste, I am sure you will be pleasantly "surprised" with your gift.

it's meant to be about expression of affection.. not buying it.
write her a poem or something.

brings to mind 'sweetest day', the most brazenly commercial "holiday" ever

"hey, valentines day makes us a lot of money. why don't we make another valentines day and just call it something different!"

"brilliant!"

So there really is a day of celebration for stalkers!

I don't get along with myself
And I'm not too keen on anyone else

Go for it!
