Valentine Day plans?

[Tired]

It's Saturday, so we can have a full day for ourselves! Me and boyfriend were planning to just chill at home, order some food or cook something together. It will be raining, so we can't have a walk, but we can play tabletop games and watch movies/series. Maybe we will craft something.

I almost finished making a themed present for him, it will be a mix of hand-made things and some bought ones

This will be a special Valentine's Day for my partner and I, since we're getting married in 17 days

We have some gifts, cards, and flowers for each other, and we're probably going to have dinner at a restaurant, and spend the rest of the day/evening taking it easy at home. Probably go for a long walk together like we do every day (weather depending.)

We're not going to do anything extravagant, we enjoy each other's company no matter what we're doing.
He really is my best friend in the whole world. Every day with him is special, even if all we do is go to work, watch TV, and cook dinner. I know we don't need a special day to say "I love you" to each other, but it's nice to do something a little bit extra for your spouse sometimes.

That's wonderful, I am happy for you both! Hopefully the weather will be gentle for your wedding as well!
How long are you together?

Yeah, in my opinion it is the best when partner is also a best friend. That's how me and my SO started, we both just were searching for friends and nothing else, he even thought he was aroace heh
And totally can echo your opinion about every day being cozy and meaningful with the loved one, but still nice to have some special events like this... I need excuses to give him gifts

At this rate, I'll be spending it at the hospital. I don't celebrate Valentine's day, but if that turns out to be the exact day that my daughter is born, I'm going to celebrate every Valentine's day

Same thing we do every day Pinkie, try to take over the world

Honestly, I have never been in a relationship during valentines, and never wanted to do a 1st date on the day so I have never actually done anything for Valentines day. Other than perhaps spoil the fun reminding people of the bloody death of St. Valentine. I have a warped sense of humor.

I know growing up I hated the day in school as it was always a reminder that I was different as I always was among the folks getting the fewest valentines from classmates. And those typically were from kids of parents who made them do one for each of their classmates. Honestly I think that practice in schools at least should be banned.

Thank you!

We've been together for a few years now. We got engaged in August.

I thought I was aroace too, for a while... I also thought I didn't like men... we learn so much about ourselves later on in life, it seems.

I'm glad you also have a partner who is your best friend. It's the best feeling
And it's always nice to have an excuse to give gifts!

No plans - I don't have a partner of any sort.

Well wishes for all of those above with plans, however!

We've been married for so long that we just swap mushy cards, he gives me some pink roses and I give him a heart-shaped box of chocolates. I'll make something good for dinner. Maybe lasagna since I got my new lasagna pan delivered this week.

Awww!

That's adorable. I love that!

We got each other mushy cards too. Which we also do for each other's birthdays. And often do "just because," too.

This year is quite different (for me - per the genre film history I have), as Friday the 13th is followed by Valentine's Day, so it was pretty set in stone that this weekend is eventful for a couple of specific, campy, slasher films to return on smaller theater screens....but....those films surprisingly make folks gather in droves, so if it helps couples get together and have fun, that's what it's really all about.

More personally, I'm probably going to just have dinner with a friend....a true friend.

I didn't mind getting few Valentines (i would have been good with zero) , but I was shamed into getting one for everyone in my class, even though I found the whole concept to be uber-awkward. I was not interested in being romantic with classmates (especially ALL of them), and the cards themselves suggested it was about romance.

I have to work which is fine. It’s not like I had any actual plans or a date that day anyway.

I really relate to that about not wanting to give them out to all classmates because of the cards suggesting romance. Like even when I wasn't romantically interested in women, I still didn't want to give cards to the other boys in the class. That just felt weird because of the connotations.

I'm old. When I was in elementary school in the 1960s, we had to give a valentine to everybody in our class. Most of the cards were just silly or comical, not romantic. That way, no child was singled out by others. Seems fair to me.

I remember! <Sigh>.......Such nostalgia.

Celebrate Valentines Day? You mean that day where people celebrate their love and devotion to each other? ME? That has never happened, and never will. For many years, that was a day of pain, loneliness, and longing. A mocking slap on the face. Now that I have things figured out, it is a day I studiously try to ignore.
