Need some help for ideas

[Yariome]

Ok, obviously valentines is coming up, but my girlfriend and I's third anniversery is on the same day (yes its lame but she chose this day to say yes.) Anyways, during the first year of our relationship, I did EVERYTHING I could ever think of that involved a romance. I wrote her poems, songs, sang to her; I made her dinner, took her on a picnic; I've even looked up ideas online because I ran out of ideas on what to do for her and I really wanted to make her happy. I don't regret a thing, but I do regret doing it in such a small time frame I limit myself to the special SURPRISE of it or being spontaneous but that's something i'll have to live with.

My overall plan so far is to take her to a hotel, wine, dinner, and flowers of course. Beyond that i'm clueless. The rose pedal idea/bath and just taking a shower/bath has also been done by me, I am open and willing to try most anything. Also a love making session is also on the agenda, and planning on making it all about her which I usually do, but i'm gonna make it a memorable night.

So all in all, just would like any kind of suggestions any of you have, I probably have done it so if I say I have don't get offended, I just like to be new not old.

I do not know how old you both are...an I will admit (I do not even know what day of the week VD falls on) is there a chance to whisk her off to a tropical island for a few days? Such as the Caribbean??? Don't know how far you are from one.

Honestly, I am not a big one for VD day...due to past marriage issues it was a sore subject. But a nice piece of Jewelry? Something unique is nice; something specially made which has value to you both????

Is there something she always wanted to do or try skiing? Dance? (non-sexual for the day) and then have a nice evening in?

Tough part is you set the standard high from day one!

How close are you to Lake Tahoe? There are two very nice adult motels right near Stateline at Southshore. Skiing? What about just snowballs and fun in the snow? A sleigh ride?? For dinner you can go to a buffet at one of the casinos. Next: a show! If Tahoe is out, what about some local resort near you?

NO? Well, as they say: "any ol' port in a storm". Find a nice hotel or motel and reserve it for Wednesday night--or the weekend if that is when you plan to celebrate. (Thursday the 14th is Valentines Day, Sera.)

Go early and fill the tub with warm water that can be brought up to temp. after you arrive. Have a bouquet and gift in the room for her to find. Place a piece of fine chocolate or a mint on her pillow.

Alternately, present her with a gift during desert while at dinner. You might even take the bouquet there, earlier, for the staff to place on your table either before you arrive for dinner, or, after being seated. Talk to the management and see what they are willing to do. (Be generous with your tip!)

If the room is local, blindfold her and drive her around town in a circuitous route on the way to the m/hotel.

Thanks doc! I'll have to remember to send myself a "love" card & flowers! Maybe I will sign it from "Your admirer"---- but that might be too creepy!

You could park outside your house and be your own stalker.....I tried that once but kept calling the police on myself. I thought it was funny as hell........they didn't....

Seriously though, I'd try to keep it simple.....leave her clues in 3 parts, with the number 3 playing heavily into it. Leave a rose with a note (telling her where to find the next clue) and a cd of her favorite music(compiled from each year you've been together).

Could be you might have the last one lead her to where you'll be waiting with a nice piece of jewelry at a nice restaurant. Or my fav, buck naked on a bed of satin sheets with a bottle of bubbly and a nice ring.

Well good luck and I hope things go well.

I like it, and no I cannot afford to go out too much beyond where I am right now. I'm on parole until the end of Febuary, although I do plan on taking her down to Oklahoma for her birthday in april, she loves to gamble and you can gamble at 18 down there at the Native American Casinos.

Also, I live in north eastern missouri, so yeah my options are limited since I can't leave state.

And yes I did raise the standards way too high at the beginning, but i've always been a poker man. If I see a good hand, I go all in to win it all, which I did.

I do like the clue idea though I will definitly try that, as well as your different ideas doc, appreciate it! She hates surprises, so the driving around for a long time I think will be a very good touch.

I like that one....sounds like fun. Also its do-able for him staying close to home...

As far as the jewelry goes, it might be out of my price range too. Sometimes I just stick the simple things, dinner and a movie. Fooling around in the shower with continued action in the bedroom. I live in a small town with a natural lake nearby, good place to go and watch the moon rise over the water.
