I'm taking my girlfriend out to a nice dinner, and get some roses or something for her too. I got a friend who bought his girlfriend a $400 necklace for V-day. That guy's a dumbass. V-Day is not something I look forward to. It's a day that girls expect to be showered with love and gifts, and they have fantasies about. But I, like most men, don't give a shit if it's Valentine's Dad, St. Patricks Day or August 8th....I'm still gonna do my best to make her happy. But there's no sense in trying to use V-Day to make her feel loved....you should show her every day.
And to those of you who are single.....think about the money you are saving. Instead, use that money to buy yourself something extra nice, or have a fun night out with the boys/girls. Nobody NEEDS a girlfriend/boyfriend. They're nice, but all you need to be happy is to be happy with yourself. I learned that lesson when I was going through what I call "the robot year". I took a year off after my last g/f dumped me, and really got some shit together. That was for the most part of 2001. U2 toured that year, so I had something to make me happy that year.
