Speaking on commercials there is one running for a jewelry store that really emphasizes what some are talking about. This guy is looking at a necklace and says "I'll take this" then the camera pans to show his SO standing on stairs in a mall with binoculars nodding. The commercial is then talking about all the jewelry and the cheapest was $999 I think. Seriously, I have no use for a thousand dollar necklace and would never expect a man to spend that and would be weird if he did. I rarely wear jewelry except for a few pieces and the rest just sit in 4 jewelry boxes. I switch earrings but most are cheap and I have a beautiful bracelet I wear but it was a cheap one my parents got me a few Christmases ago. I'm easy to please, just buy me a stuffed animal or a nice dinner or even a CD and I am happy.
I just love Valentine's Day and I always had. It was the perfect time for me to make money and I just adore those ads on the television. I prefer to celebrate it by making as much money as I can on this day :) But back to the Simone87's question: Hell yeah...I would be pissed that he forgot Valentine's Day and I just dump him for his lack of respect towards me. Respect and loyalty is a big thing for me....if a man shows how little he cares by not giving me what I need or desire than I would just dump him without question. Rather I desire money, gifts, or whatever...he should be willing to do whatever he can for me and I in return will do everything for him. :)
While I do like the colors red and pink, I find the holiday fairly useless. If you love someone you show them love every day... not just on February 14th.
Show people you love them daily... it makes for a better world.
I feel like one of the guys....don't care for it. I didn't even know it was V day til my friends wished me a happy V-day. I don't hate it but it's not a big deal for me.
I see it more for kids.
i think an ex of mine broke up with me because i poked fun at a character in his favorite tv show, he didnt say why he ended it but i think he took his tv waaay too seriously :p i grew up with no tv at all, and getting to watch a vhs on a tiny tube television was a major treat.
anyways, i hope you all are enjoying Vday right now with the ones you love! my boyfriend really outdid himself this year, melted my cold little heart like butter!
Wow good riddance to the ex, and nice going with your current guy.
I stayed home tonight. No great loss. I want a cat way more than I want a serious girlfriend anyway. I had to go down the pet aisle in the grocery store in order to get the batteries and lightbulbs, and as usual it was a little disturbing. All the flowers and candy all over the place didn't phase me.
I just gotta say... the only man I can count on for a good V-Day is my father! A box of Godiva chocolates and a card with $300 every year since I turned 18. No fluff, just good chocolates and money. I love it! Every guy should just do that.
My hubby and I spoke about this today. He's always felt its a commercial holiday and he hates feeling pressured to do something because of that; he makes the effort to show love the rest of the year (and he does). He sent me a text while I was at work saying happy V Day.
I told him I wasn't devastated but i was a little disappointed and that it doesn't need to be a massive production but again, I'm not devastated, he kept talking about it for awhile and then I repeated what I'd already said and told him topic closed. If he makes an effort because he wants to I will enjoy it, if he doesn't, Ill live.
showing love all year round is a MUST, if a person doesn't then i won't even be spending valentines day with him in the first place. but for me, with the hustle and bustle of life, the stress, the depression, the anxiety, the money worries, etc all year round i sometimes forget to take a day just to spend time with the people i love and do nice things for them and just sit back and enjoy them. plus money is tight this year, so spending it and really celebrating is kinda saved for valentines day and other holidays. hopefully when i get back to working my 2 jobs we can do this more often through-out the year/
audrey K, your dad sounds awesome! that's so sweet!
The two women I lived with the longest almost always had a flower, all through the year--even if it was just a carnation. But I will generally also do something special on VD anyway. But it sure isn't due to the advertising or the massive commercial/peer pressure bullshit.
Also, it SUCKS (as a DJ anyway) working on VD. Most of the girls are out instead of working, so tips are lower. And weirdness abounds on that night in most clubs.
I'm so happy I worked extra yesterday cause my plans for going out to dinner tonight (to celebrate it) have just been cancelled. fuck this shit man. I'm just gonna work extra hard for the rest of February so I can treat myself to pretty things next month (it's my birthday in 2 weeks and I'm not expecting any gifts from the one person who's supposed to spoil me)
I feel shitty, I think I'm gonna go look at my earnings report on SM to feel better. I don't even know why I feel THIS sad cause I'm pretty sure he wasn't gonna pay for my food anyway. I might as well go with a friend :/
^ aww im sorry :( whoever he is, sounds like a real asswipe! i hope you have a great birthday next month! sometimes we just gotta spoil ourselves :)
Since there is no guarantee there will always be a loving, devoted, loyal, attentive & generous SO to spoil you on these holidays (VD, Bday, Xmas, etc.), I long ago figured out it's far better to spoil yourself than wait around for someone else to do it (or not). And since you are spoiling yourself, there is no reason to wait for a specific day to do so.
;D
So have fun and by all means look at those SM earnings reports. Rock on Renton!
bahahaha he made up for it 8) He got me champagne and chocolates and made reservations for tomorrow and he's buying :D
I bought myself a sexy new dress and emailed for new tattoo appointments anyway cause I deserve it 8)
thank you Djoser and simone87, your posts did make me feel better <3
Glad things worked out Renton. That sucks when people don't do anything. There have been times I had a "boyfriend" on Christmas, my birthday (which is in January)and Valentines and still got nothing. The guys I mentioned were boyfriends on other holidays but still got me nothing. The ironic thing is one of them keeps begging to date me again 24 years later and I told him hell no and this is partly why.
