At first I thought this post said "I HAVE VD"...then I saw it was by Fatman and then I breathed a sigh of relief.

VD has become strung along like other fake hollidays as Sweatest Day, Love Day, and Christmas (or Hollidaymas or the dreded X-Mas). This is why you must find a sweet young female-like character who will let you off the hook from now till the Glorious Apperence from V-Day. And God bless those 3 women out there for it!

As a guy, I think VD is one of those holidays where it really is more fun to give than to receive (not that receiving is bad, mind you). It's the one day of the year where it's expected that I'll play the part of the hopeless romantic.

Honestly, it's only fun if you're creative. Roses and chocolate are so cliché. Do something unique and original. I guarantee your SO won't remember what kind of lame bouquet you bought her five years ago, but she'll certainly remember the strategically placed white roses that were delivered to her throughout the day by various co-conspirators. She might not be able to recall the box of chocolates you bought for her, but she'll remember the tickets you gave her to the show she thought you'd forgotten about.

It's not about buying the biggest, flashiest gift, or spending the most money, but providing an experience that is both unique and memorable. It doesn't matter if you don't spend a single dime - as long as it's personal and has merited some time and effort, it will be something worthwhile. Instead of focusing on the "object," instead think of the "memory" you'll create. If you play your cards right, it'll be something she can tell her friends about for years to come.

Don't get me wrong bob, I play along with the holiday. Hell this year I even bought three of my good friends (Female ones of course) and white rose and a card and left it there cars for them seems I didn't have a girlfriend to waste money on.

My complaint is the holiday is pointless. Correct me if I'm wrong but guys should be treating their girls this way all year, not just on one specific occasion when they are forced to by a consumer driven holiday.

No but seriously I'm actually a hopeless romantic when it comes to girls. I used to sneak into Leah's apartment and leave her 3 white roses on her table every Weds when she was at class, you know...so she always had fresh ones. I just like to come off as an ass at first
