Valentines Day (Tips)

For Her:

• What’s your opinion on a guy asking you out or revealing his interest in you on Valentines day? Cheesy or not? – Cheesy as hell, but it’s pretty adorable. By: Skeleton
  
• Try out /r/GiftsForHer. By: elizabith
• What do I get my gf if I have a rather low budget? - Make her something. Are you in school? Get her a balloon. A lot of girls at my old school would carry their v-day presents as trophies. By: RingoTheCraftySquidd
• A playlist of her favorite songs - it’s personal and affordable!
• Make  personalized card  saying what is special about her or you two being together
• Give her a gift one that shows you really pay attention to what she cares about
• A relaxed evening together – just enjoying each other’s company
• Special evening of just you two, one not compared with any other

For Him:

• A compliment from a girl.
• Flowers. Seriously.
• Gamer? DLC bundle, MS points, pre-order paid in full, new gaming headset, membership re-newal or gaming accessories for his console/pc. PC gamers: Steam gift or Newegg Gift Card for upgrades. And for digital items you can place the codes inside of the Valentine’s day card.
• Looking for something you can do together: Head out to an arcade, or a place like Dave & Buster’s, or play a coop game at home together like Borderlands 2 or the Super Mario Bros Wii game. If you aren’t a gamer, look for casual games you can play. I play kinect sports games and Family Game Night games with my wife, and we have a great time.
• Music? Ticket to a concert for one of his favorite artists, iTunes gift card, new head phones, or memorabilia (doesn’t have to be genuine, a lot of guys like putting stuff on display) Hipster? Get him that vinyl record.
• Musician? Accessories for their instruments are always welcome (e.g., strings, straps, stands, oil/cork grease, polishing cloths, cables, etc.), a new instrument and/or case, if they’ve been talking about starting a new instrument, get classes to go along with them. Gift certificate/card to favorite music place. If they like to make/record music: Microphones, Midi controllers, Recording Software are all good ideas, but, I wouldn’t recommend buying these unless you are knowledgeable about the products and have intimate knowledge as to what he uses and what he likes. A gift card would be the best option here
• For something you can do together: Take a music lesson together for something you both don’t know how to play. Drums/percussion are always a good choice since making loud sounds is always fun. Or, look around for small recording studios with economic prices and head out for a recording session. Don’t play an instrument? Sing. Don’t sing? Doesn’t matter, sing anyway. You’ll have fun, and take home a recording for great memories.
• Movie-Lover? Get him a Blu-Ray edition of his favorite movie. I used to think this was a waste of cash, but the extra content is well worth the price, along with the HD quality. Of course not all Blu-Rays are created equal so look online for reviews for said content and HD quality. Or buy him his favorite trilogy if he doesn’t have it. I loved the Lord of the Ring movies, my wife got me the trilogy set, and I loved it. Or just keep it simple and go to the movies.
• For something you can do together: Movie night at home. Borrow or rent a projector and set it up in your living room/bedroom, or any space with at least 7 feet of distance, and connect it to a laptop w/ extra speakers (laptop speakers suck). If you don’t have a lot of room, look for a short throw projector, they’re designed to work in small spaces.
• A card written from the heart is always welcome.
• Do something the two of you have never done before. Can be tame or wild depending on your personalities. By: That_GNU_Guy
• Have a quality-time night with your girlfriend. Perhaps you are both stressed out with all your honors classes, sports practices and volunteer work. A romantic night will be just the ticket to reconnect. If you want to go out, make reservations ahead of time at a restaurant in a price range above the usual high school hangouts.

[Mega] Valentines Day Thread

There will be a “Valentines day” Section that will be present on the FAQ from February 9- February 15, 2013.

New Update!

Another year where I won’t do anything and pretend like I don’t need a SO in my life…

That’s bullshit. You don’t need anyone in your life if you actually think that way. It’s all about your state of mind. If I decided, “Y’know, today, I’m gonna ask that cute girl out”, I would man up and do that. YOU are the only person who can empower yourself, YOU are the only person who can change yourself, YOU are the only person who can become yourself. Most of us have had a girlfriend or boyfriend at least once before, and sure, most of us had a great time, but you don’t NEED that in your life. Hell, instead of going on dates, you can study for that test, and then ace it, and tell everyone, “Look at this 100%. You see this shit? It’s the grade that I goddamn earned.” You can practice something. Anything. Piano, skiing, math, whatever the hell you want. Don’t know how to do it? LEARN how to do it. You can do anything you want to, because you are the only thing that can limit yourself. No person, test, grade, disease, nothing has more power over you than yourself. You got it? Good. Because this Valentine’s Day, you’re gonna do one of three things. You’re either going to ask that special someone out (if you haven’t decided to already), and they’re going to say yes (because you’re awesome, everyone knows that), or you’re going to do something productive, and know that you got that done because you’re too awesome for an SO and because you’re a straight-up boss, or you’re going to life your own goddamn life. I’m talking about doing anything you want, whatever you want, because you just decided to do that shit because you want to and it makes you feel good. Chin up, kid. Believe me, we all want to be as awesome as you are someday.

So what are you waiting for? Go get ‘em.
