last year I was told by a cashier that a bottle of scotch is not a good gift for a girlfriend.

My girlfriend actually doesn't like Valentine's day.  -She's willing to go out to dinner and exchange cards because she knows I like it.

Honestly I dunno why people get so tied up in knots about valentines day.

Well, when you are relentlessly inundated by ads (and boy howdy are you... it rivals Christmas in how they beat you over the head with it) that serve to either guilt you into spending an inordinate amount of money on candy, dinner reservations, cards, flowers, and jewelry (hence why it's referred to as a Hallmark Holiday) or it beats you over the head with the idea that you are a loser because you don't have a significant other on this day, it's understandable that people get crazy. The basic message for guys is that unless you have a significant other and spend your entire paycheck on overpriced crap, you are a bad person.

Bingo!

I mean, I know I'm not a bad person(well I AM, but not for THAT reason), and I should just brush it off and move on, which I try to do. However, there is only so much of a mental beating one can take, before one's self esteem begins to plummet.

I will say that Valentines Day is WAY over marketed.  I actually have several female friends that don't like it for this reason. My gf thinks it's way overrated.

i just don't let such advertising bother me.

who cares? Be yourself, ignore the advertising. ignore the beating over the head. Just dont let it bother you, any more than you would advertising for anything else.

Id rather my hubby got me the odd little gift to make me feel better on bad days- like the other day he bought me my fav cheese cake coz my ankle was playing up a lot. Didnt cost a lot, but i knew he had remembered and was thinking of me. That has far greater meaning and sentiment than some stupid made up day of celebration of love.

i agree prowl, it is way overrated. Which is why i ignore it.

Personally my favorite time to give someone flowers or candy, ect. is on a regular plain day because you're giving it too them because you want to and are showing your affection for them, instead of on a "special" day when you are "suppose to". 

There is nothing like taking a girl flowers and when she asks why you bought them being able to say "because it's Friday" with a simple shrug.

You get a point for this. I completely agree.

I need a nice 30's style getup to celebrate St. Valentine's Day Massacre, by watching gangster movies like Goodfellas, the Godfather trilogy, and anything else involving Robert DeNiro!

Totally Smiley agree completely.

Sides, I'm spending my Valentine's day costuming for kids, then celebrating a family member's birthday. And then the day after entertaining kids at the local children's hospital. I reckon that's much better than dinner reservations.

Well, this week is starting off fan-freaking-tastically. Keys dropped into passenger seat of car. Car door got locked accidentally. Keys now locked inside car. Spare keys locked in apartment.

Soooo who got on the forum and posted that instead of calling AAA for a lock out?
