Valentine's day

[Shorty43]

I'm trying to figure out what to do for my boyfriend on Valentine's Day. If he is planning something there is no way I'll find out until then so I can't very well take him out. I wish I knew if he was thinking about doing anything, I'm almost positive he is, but ?? Another slight problem is that I'm not totally sure when my parents are coming to visit me, but it could very well be that weekend and my parents don't know about my boyfriend, nor do I want them to. He is a good guy, great guy, would never hurt me, ever, but I'm not too sure how my parents will feel. There are a lot of things he does I can see my parents not liking and I'm afraid to introduce him to them even though I know if I say don't smoke, don't drink, etc. he won't for that weekend because he loves me.

Anyway, not to get off topic. Any ideas for a cute and meaningful Valentine's Day gift? And yes, I do plan on sex, I need another idea as well

What's with the "can't present b/f to the parents" and the "he does things they won't approve of"? That sounds like a problem waiting to go off - and not just with your parents!

Regarding a gift, how about some sexy lingerie or a sex toy you think he might like? I think ALL guys love sexy lingerie! The Sex Toy Store on this site or one in your home-town should be able to give you all the ideas you need.

If you are not sure what to get, a number of members have posted some recommendations in the "Sex Toys and Products" forum.

Hope this helps and that you have a HAPPY HAPPY Valentines! *

Shorty. You can simply ask him if he has anything planned. If not, you can take the initiative to plan a romantic evening.

On another note, something jumped out at me in your post. In expressing your concern about him meeting your parents, you kinda slipped in that he "would never hurt me."

That came out of the blue on your post and kinda raised a red flag for me. Hopefully, I'm reading too much into it. If he's a great guy, you should have no concerns about introducing him to your parents, vices and all. You can't hide him forever.

It is an emotional hurt, not a physical one, don't get concerned about that. We play fight all the time for fun and wrestle each other to the ground, but he is always careful. Thank you for your concern, but our physical relationship is very loving and if he ever hurt me I think he'd be set into a deep depression and spend a long time hating himself.

Also, if I ask him if he is planning anything I know that he will tell me he isn't because that is just him. He's done it before and he knows I won't plan anything big we can't skip unless he wants to go.

And...
The whole meeting my parents thing it is even more complicated than the drinking (no he is not an alcoholic, he just isn't 21 yet so he isn't supposed to be drinking) and smoking. There are a mess of other things to worry about, number one being religious differences between our families even though my boyfriend and I are both kind of out of the religious loop.

I LOVE Valentine's Day!! I think's it's the best holiday there is! It's definitely my favorite...and I don't even know why.

I was always under the impression that Valentine's Day is a cute holiday, and you were supposed to get your boyfriend/girlfriend something small and cute...nothing really serious. For example, a few of my friends have gotten their boyfriends like, boxers with hearts on them. Something simple like that.

As for the whole parents deal, just call them and ask them when they're coming, and tell them that around Valentine's Day is not good for you, because you're already have plans. I don't like my parents knowing about my boyfriends either because all they do is question, question, question, and I don't want to talk about it with them.

More men tend to forget Valentine's Day

Substantially more men than women tend to forget Valentine's Day, according to a new commercial poll for consumers interested in dating, romance and the single life.

The poll conducted by Lavalife, which calls itself the world's largest provider of technology-based dating services, says 41 per cent of men surveyed tend to forget the romantic significance of Valentine's Day, compared with only 22 per cent of women.

Despite this difference, the poll suggests men who do remember spend much more on Valentine's Day gifts than women.

The survey polled more than 6,000 people between Jan. 27 and Feb. 3, comfortably in advance of the big day on Feb. 14, 2003.

The survey also suggests men believe women most appreciate lingerie, perfume and chocolate as Valentine's Day gifts.
