    Dinner at chuck-e-cheese?

    whale whale whale, what do we have here?

    Why don't you tell me.

    Apparently, we have a WHALE here...

    Nothing gets by you, does it?

    I think your intentions are marvellously romantic.

    I think you know her better than any of us here ... so your instincts know best, I think you should follow your heart.

    She is lucky to have you :smile:

    "OMG guess what my boyfriend did for Valentines day loool"

    Umm, my guess is there won't be an LOLOLOLOLOL after her comment and it will be a bit more scathing and to the tune of "Guess what my &*$(@*%&#*& a-hole boyfriend did for Valentines day.":explode: :mad:

    I never was much into the whole day anyway but if a guy I was dating came over with a car full of cheesy stuffed animals, some thoughtless chocolates and other dumb trinkets thinking it was funny I would fail to see the joke in it and would assume that he thinks our entire relationship is just one big stupid joke.

    What's wrong with being a man and getting her a nice bouquet of flowers and taking her out to a nice dinner? Why try and make a "joke" out of something that she's probably taking seriously?

    Exactly. Especially considering the fact that she's 18 and still in high school. Girls this age go nuts for Valentine's day. She most definitely won't be bragging to her friends about stuffed animals and and other joke gifts. She is expecting something cute and romantic like flowers, Edible arrangements, a necklace, bracelet, or earrings followed by dinner.

    Hahahahaha, perfect idea!

    Make sure she gets home by 10, though. Don't want to keep Mom and Dad up waiting.

    You said box of chocolates.. I know Walmart has like HUGE obnoxiously big boxes of heart shaped chocolates for pretty cheap. One of those would be good for taking up space

    Um, actually she kinda is. She's 18.

    This is what I thought (hence I gave some ideas) until he started talking about what she is actually like and what she has said she wanted for valentines. Sounds like she will actually HATE it LOL

    Allegorically the humor is similar to that one time when I went on a double date to the movies with a girl and after we parked I was like "ill catch up with you guys in a sec" and I put on like 15 sprays of cologne and then we went to the movies and supposedly I was like the affable dopey overly trying to impress her but failing in a cute way kind of guy for a moment.

    Its kind of the same with this where I supposedly fail, but in a cute way with all those excess cliche gifts. But in the end its just supposed to come off as flattering.

    But wait, isn't "failing" very "beta"? You are going to act "beta" to get sympathy and pity attention from the girl? Doesn't that go against all your "alpha" philosophies? She's supposed to be attracted to your extreme narcissism. Why don't you just buy her a single rose and ask what she's cooking you for dinner?

    Well a necklace, bracelet, or earrings is too far and too serious. Like I said before she is kinda shy about it and doesn't want it to be to high pressure or formal. Same with the food I would "lick off her body" its too presumptuous and sexual pressure.

    The whole thing actually required the lighthearted vibe. Its not a matter of making a mockery of the holiday or our love. Its a matter of easing the tension while still making it memorable and an indicator of how much I care in hindsight.

    So I am simultaneously deflating any awkward tension while also demonstrating how much she really means to me.

    Good one! I will try this out in the mirror.

    Gotta be careful to brush the thorns off first. Ill see how it looks though!

    Look up recipes to her favorite foods. Spend all day cooking the meal and stay in and have her over for dinner over candles and some wine. Finish it off with a nice scented oil massage....then use your imagination for the rest.

    Thanks for the heads up! Do you remember how much it was?

    Silly nutella, I'm an old married woman, you know we don't bother with basic upkeep any more.
