What WOULD you have done on V-Day if you'd had a date?

Post Reply New Topic

Okay, we all know that a shedload of people here are reluctantly single (and indeed, put the "hopeless" in "hopeless romantic") and feel disgruntled about V-Day. So, what would you have IDEALLY done with your date if you'd actually had one? Not what would have realistically happened, and not who you wish it was; just what you would have liked to DO.

Mine:
-See a film with her. A really good one. It'd probably have to be on DVD, then; no movies I want to see are out in theaters quite yet. I kinda want to see "Ghost Rider" because of my adoration for dark superheroes, but it looks merely okay to me, and certainly not the sort of movie I'd like to watch on Valentine's Day.
-Some time to just sit and talk and BS with whatever girl I'd be in this relationship with. You know, chat. Hang out. Listen to each other. Have silly laid back conversations, or serious ones if need be. Maybe put on some kickass music. No pressure.
-I wouldn't want to be at home all day. Where'd we go? Up to her.
-I'd be up for dancing as long as I liked the music and she could tolerate my inexperience.
-Intimacy and/or skintimacy? Depends on how much interest she'd show in such a thing, and how long I'd been with her...oh, and whether or not I'd be listening to Kidneythieves, because they always make me think of hot vampire sex. XD
-Dinner? Hrrrm. Someplace nice but not overly popular, because then it'd be f*****g crowded as hell. And crowded = not romantic.
-Surprise gift-giving is usually a recipe for wasted money when it comes to me.
-Secret little notes slipped into pockets are sweet and cute and romantic as hell.
-Dresss'sup? In ssssspecial clothing? Why not? The gothier the better, the more elegant the better, and the more Victorian-y the better. (Corsets on Valentine's Day, how lovely! Would go wonderfully with tea. Frilly Gothic Lolita dresses are sweet, too.)
-Flowers: only if she'd want 'em. They're sweet but often are left to rot in a vase inside the receiver's home, oftentimes smelling ghastly. (ESPECIALLY LILIES! Sorry, but they friggin' stink!)
-PDA's: NO, NO, and DEFINATELY NOT. Why not? Because it's rude. NOTHING makes a lonely, hopelessly single hopeless romantic feel worse than seeing Public Displays of Affection (PDA's) at every turn, and Valentine's Day is a minefield of 'em. Hand-holding is fine, but anything more just makes any single people around feel awful, not because they'd be jealous of either of you but because they'd be jealous of BOTH of you for what you'd share. A boyfriend is NOT a trophy, NOT something to brag about, and NOT something to use to make others feel miserable. Girls, you don't like it when a guy's using you for sex and treats you as an object, as "p****" rather than as a human being, and brags to his friends about it: "Hey I got laid the other day." Such behavior is atrocious, but y'all need to stop treating your boyfriends like trophies to show around--it's really not that much different. Just saying that you're not single is one thing, but there's a point where it's just rude. Keep the "personal" in personal relationship!

What about you?

I would cuddle my wuvvums all day~


I do have a love, we chat, IM and talk a lot but his mom isn't so keene on letting me come to Ohio to see him every now and then. We hope she will have a change of heart soon.

I'd have been in too much of a state of shock to do anything?

OK, that's not the ideal, but that's what would have likely happened.

edit: apparently this was confusing, so now it isn't.....

Sleeping in just so that I'd finially have a chance to stick it to the people who Do celebrate Valentine's and not look like I'm just doing it because I'm sad.

Go for a walk in the evening and maybe talk about various interests, then come back to my room and listen to some music, watch a film maybe and talk more with lots of cups of coffee or tea. I like to keep it simple.

Initiate 69 because it's romantic.

Have sex, eat chocolate then go out for steak or Chinese food.

Realistically: order pizza and work frantically on homework in the same room. I hate my college....

Ideally: Get some tasty food, cuddle on my giant bean bag, and watch a nice romantic movie of her choice.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

It doens't mean anything to me

Purchase a gift for my significant other. (I'm good at picking out gifts, in general.), do something romantic but not routine.

Bust out the telescope and drive out to the Black Mountains. Stargaze talk about the Origin of Life and/or how life on other worlds might have evolved differently.
It's been warm enough in Phoenix to do this.

Might spend the day reading together. Anyone I would date has to read. Being cuddled up by a fire reading is the best ever.

gone on a road trip, probably to crystal peak national forest or to the black rock desert, had a picnic, and cuddled, assuming a great many things about this alternate reality which cannot actually reasonably assumed <like me encountering a female human who would want anything to do with me>

If I was actually with my date, we would have exchanged gifts, watched a film at the cinema, eaten at a restaurant, then gone home.

Buy her a stuffed animan, and a single red rose. Take her to wherever she wanted to eat. Cuddle and watch a movie.
