    Question Valentine's Day Gift Question

    Ok, so I've been dating a woman for two weeks; a couple of dinners, and a couple of movies, and some kissy face on my living room floor. Nothing more serious than that up to his point.

    What the heck do I get her for Valentine's Day?

    When I was married or in serious relationships this was always a no-brainer (I actually bought one GF a Mojo BP one year...named him Cupid), but I'm covering new ground with my current situation.

    Let's hear it, what's a proper gift?

    This is a tough one! I'd play it safe and just do a card and some of her favorite candies, maybe even a romantic dinner. You don't want to come off as *that* guy that got a girl a very expensive gift after only 2 weeks of dating.

    If I was seeing someone for a few weeks and it was v day, I would be expecting something sweet and simple, like flowers and chocolates. Maybe a nice dinner too. I hope this helps

    I would say pink roses or some other bouquet of flowers...red roses might be a little much at this stage in the game. Dinner would also be good, take her to her favorite place. I'm cooking my girlfriend dinner, got her roses and I made a flick book of a stick figure dragging out an "I" and then throwing a heart in the middle, and then he pushes a "U" from the other side so he forms an I "heart" U.....I thought it was kinda cool lol.

    I say skip the roses and go with gerber daisies instead. A cute card (ones for kids are perfect because they arent all sappy) and a nice dinner.

    Maybe haha. I also got a bunch of reeses pieces and lemon heads and I'm going to make a trail to her car and then have a big heart on her car hood made out of red m&m's or something. I think valentines was made up by a woman just to get another diamond necklace or something lol. But my girlfiend is making dinner for me so I guess its an even trade. She should feel lucky I'm romantic like that!
