If your partner doesn't realize it's Valentine's Day, then it’s no wonder they didn’t get you a gift! It might still sting, but try to show grace and not take it to heart, especially if they’re a great partner otherwise. Some people are just very forgetful about dates. For Valentine's Day, I gave her the usual flowers and a card. I booked us an overnight stay at a nice hotel in a neighbouring city, booked us tickets for a lights show at a planetarium, ice skating, and then a nice dinner + champagne for our room. If he's good to you every other day then maybe you need to give him a break. If Valentines day is important to you then talk with your boyfriend and he can do it for you. I am in a heterosexual relationship with a masculine man and he gets compliments, I would go and visit him when we were dating, and I get him tokens and gifts all the time. I would even get him flowers but he wouldn't appreciate it (to be fair, I barely like getting flowers myself so I get it). We discussed and agreed that we will celebrate valentines day and agreed we’ll have a video call dinner date the day after valentines due to our busy schedules. I told him I would love to receive flowers on v-day. If you’re unsure about whether you’re even hanging out for the holiday, ask, “What are your V-Day plans?” or boldly say, “I’d love to spend Valentine’s Day with you, are you available?” Otherwise, you’ll be disappointed if the day goes by and you don’t even get a call, let alone a card. Why didn’t your partner buy you something for Valentine’s Day? Because he is forgetful and lazy, he doesn’t like that holiday, but in the worst case, he might not respect you enough. It’s even worse if you bought him a present but didn’t get anything from him. If you're not sure what to get your girlfriend for Valentine's Day, consider her interests and the stage of your relationship. For a new relationship, a thoughtful card or a small gift, like a book or a scarf, can be a good option for Valentine's Day gifts for him. Your boyfriend’s failure to get you cards and flowers is probably all about his own relationship with his emotions; it has very little if anything to do with how he feels about you. The male mind is a funny thing. Flowers and chocolates on Valentine's Day are fine — but sometimes you want to go bigger. Bigger, however, is not always better. And NPR wants to hear about a Valentine's Day grand gesture, gift 1 - I have a high-paying job that often requires I drop everything to travel without notice. It is infuriating at times, but I get paid well so I've learned to live with it. 2 - My girlfriend loves flowers more than anything. I get it, most girls love flowers, but they are her favorite thing in the world. I’m not sure if I’m taking this too deep but I got my boyfriend of 8 months a couple of things for Valentine’s Day, some chocolate, a necklace and made him a card. I used the last of my money this week for all that and gave it too him as soon as I saw him. He didn’t give me anything in return and just said thank you. Anyway, I don't expect him to give me anything for valentine's day even that I did make and give him a digital valentine's day card in which he didn't say much for that either 😝 But we spent the whole night (his time), morning (my time) binge watching a series and talked till he fell asleep. This is the second year in a row my fiancé didn’t get me anything for Valentine’s Day and I’m also hurt. Last year I brushed it off he’s not that great at gift giving it’s always been a pitiful bouquet of flowers or something. But the fact that he didn’t do anything is like a punch in the gut. I never understood valentines day. Its literally a commercial holiday 🤷♂️ Birthdays are special, anniversaries are specifical*, your chosen religious holidays are special. Valentines day is literally just a day where shops etc can massively jack up their prices. I don't usually like Valentine's Day because I'm part of the "every day should be Valentine's Day" club, but when that's not true, it woud be nice to get that special affection one day out of the year :/ So I feel your pain on this one! Hope things look up soon, I'm sending you a belated Valentine's hug and flowers :) I’m wondering the same thing. My wife got flowers, chocolate, food. What did I get? House is dirty, no dinner (had to go to fast food), no sex, nothing. Meanwhile I make 250k, she doesn’t work, and I can’t get something on Valentine’s Day? Like I should get a fucking steak and blow job. What the fuck happened? I took us out to a nice steakhouse, got her some presents, a card, flowers, chocolate, and tickets to a sports game for valentines day (while I also helped take her 70 lb pitbull to the vet in my new car that I was worried about), i waited all day to see if she was going to give me something at some point and she did not. I am a 25-year-old woman and I love men and I love Valentine’s Day. Here is my advice for you. Get 1 thing that is a traditional romantic gift, and get 1 thing that says something about your girlfriend’s personality. Or, even better, combine the two. For example, if she loves whales, you could get her candy that’s shaped like whales. Here I was always triggered around Valentine’s Day when they didn’t plan or get me anything. I realize it’s a dumb holiday but when they made zero effort the other 364 days, you hope that maybe on Valentine’s Day, when there are boxes of chocolate or bouquets of flowers front and center at every grocery store, they’ll do SOMETHING.
