[QUOTE="T.C, post: 603805, member: 1277"] agree nics :thumbsup: valentines day can be in danger of being a forced, commercial nightmare. Still, suppose its a good excuse to spoil the one you love, even though you dont need an excuse. :heart: I'm not the materialistic type anyway and definitely wouldnt throw a wobbly if someone hadnt bought me something / splashed out hard-earned cash etc...no way... thats the height of bad manners IMO :naughty: I'd be happy just to chill and spend some time with them, even something basic like stopping in with a takeaway and watching the footy or whatever :thumbsup: Life isnt all about presents. How they treat you in general is a far better indictaion.:king: I had an ex years ago who did all the presents / flowers stuff 'by the book' yet was a c*nt to me in day-to-day life . I know which I'd rather. :naughty: :) Without wanting to sound ungrateful, Sometimes its not so good to be on the receiving end of Valentines gifts either.. :D A few years ago I had a parcel delivered that was too big to get through the letterbox so trotted off to collect it from the post office. It was humungous and contained loads and loads of stuff including the biggest card youve ever seen with a full-on bloody essay written in it declaring undying love / lust etc.. red rose, teddy bear , knickers which were quite frankly the tackiest ones i'd ever seen , with a note saying he hoped I'd wear them for him blah blah. Thought it was some prank by mates til I totted up how much this all must have cost, even on the bloody postage alone! :o Well I was baffled by who it couldve come from. :confused: It remained a mystery (and p1sstake ammunition for my mates) for a couple of days til I received a phonecall that went something like this: "Hello" "Hi, Its Tony" "Tony who?" "Tony from Watford" "erm..." (he obviously clicked that I'd need more prompting.. )"We met in Tunisia last month...." "erm..." (still baffled) "Did you like your valentines card and presents?" " !" <noise of pin dropping..> Then followed a strained and excruciatingly awkward conversation , not least as I was still struggling to recall who the hell he was. To this day, I only have a vague idea which one he was and i'm still not convinced I'm even right but if it is the one I think then I swear to God I only spoke to him 2 or 3 times!!! You know one of those people who are part of a massive group you hook up with on holiday and theyre kinda lurking on the sidelines? Well he was a bit like that so a couple of times I had a brief 'he seems shy, lets include him in the conversation' chat with him, but thats it! :crazy: The trouble was on the last day where youre all together saying your goodbyes and swapping details etc.. and just dish them out to everyone in the group so you dont exclude anyone (lets face it half the time no-one bothers after you get back home anyway!) Certainly wasnt expecting that! It just concluded with me saying a thankyou for the collossal amount of gifts etc...and then mumbling some line about how I didnt think it was appropriate for him to have spent that kind of money on someone he barely knows.. blah blah etc..
