to all what I have read here is just common sense, if you know the lady at all you should know her favorite color, you will know her favorite flower, you will know her favorite sweets, candy, cake etc. you will also know her favorite spot to eat. then of course if she has been wanting to try a new place, you should also know that. don't just think of yourself, or of the cost. think of what she wants as well as what she would like to do.

as for articles of clothing, especially lingerie. it is something you should avoid, unless you have been shopping with her and she keeps returning to a particular item commenting on it.you have been shopping with her again she still returns to that one item, than you know you have a winner if that is what you choose to buy.

hmmm i prefer card than email. really nowadays i rarely receipt letters with postage. I can keep the card for a long time to read again and again later. Email detach the emotion real cards bring with the paper texture,colour feast, and the handwriting. Btw i want to ask suggestion for long distant relationship. what to do on this V day to make it as special as usual.

cheverejd- I liked was I was reading on your post..To tell you the truth,V-day is not that big of a deal to me, but if someone took the time even for the littlest gift I would be grateful. But if a girl has a mystery man on the side, he better shell it out big time!!lol. coco

cheverejd, why would we be "kidding" ourselves? All girls are different but why would we say that we like David's ideas when we don't? Especially in an anonymous setting such as this? Personally, I love the idea of orchids. (They happen to be my favorite flower.) Roses are so cliche and I won't be able to differentiate one V-Day from another if I recieved roses each year. But orchids, or any out of the ordinary, meaningful flower, I will remember. Roses may be nice, but girls get them year after year. Also, personally, I don't find bringing food home to be cheap when I a)hate crowded restaurants and b)love spending time one on one with my guy. We DO want V-Day to be special. But that just means we want our guy to put thought into it instead of falling back onto the cliche of what they think V-Day should be like. And, robinpogo, I agree that the "list" would be awesome written in a pretty card. I think anything listing the attributes he loves about me would be nice no matter what the medium. =)

ok for the person who posted under me, not every woman is focused on how much MONEY he spends, most women are more focused on whether or not he put thought into it, like the article said. Yes, every woman is different...that is why we are women; however, it is extremely shallow to say CHEAP CHEAP! uhh, you're giving us a bad rep!

Hi notsoswan. I'll tell you why you're kidding yourselves. Look at ALL the postings, articles, news, and conversations about V-day; 99.99 percent of them are either from women or for women. A man gives you something, and what do you do, you judge it. Was he thoughtful? Was it romantic? Was it cheap? What does it say or mean? On the other hand, do you hear men talking about the quality or meaning of your gifts? I have been given teddy bears; do you think, in your right mind, that I liked it? You have to be mentally ill. Yet, I never complained about it, instead, I was just thankful that there was someone who cared about me and took the time to get something for me. Was she smart, thoughtful, or even considerate? You tell me. But the one thing I know for sure, and I will never believe any woman in this world that says otherwise, is that the thing you ladies care the most about a gift from a man, is how thoughtful he was. So once a man starts going down the path of convenience, with the excuse of "being different, innovative, or special", you can be sure that he won't hear the end of it for the rest of the month. An e-mail insted of a card only screams convenience and cheap. We write e-mails to everyone, including the boss, colleagues, friends, you name it. But, how many people do you write a card to? Think about it, and you'll see why you're only kidding yourself.

what I think sharess is trying to say is that no man seems to care. that is such a falsehood, many men do care, still a lot of the ladies seem to think after he plans everything with her in mind, just make one little slip and you don't care. does any lady think she could do all the planning, and have the man say this is perfect even if she makes a mistake, yes most men would say it is perfect. after all we do enjoy that sometimes, it is the thought a mistake in judgement is not all that bad if she at least tried.

David, Great job! Every V-day I try to do something special and unique for my valentine. Trying something they never expected really turns up the heat. I may spend a lot of money or none at all, just as long as it means something to that smiling beauty next to me. Your ideas are unique and creative. The orchids are something I've tried with success, but really it has to do will her tastes, one year it daffodils (the girl’s favorite flower). Although I don’t like giving cards - seems kind of impersonal – an email can romance it worded right.

It's too bad, then, that YESTERDAY's stupid, pointless article does actually suggest red rose. Which, for the record, I would gag at the sight of.
