Unfortunately too many people are takers as opposed to givers. Find one thing that makes your partner happy and DO IT.
Happy Valentine's Day to you all!

As a man I really appreciated your comments. I think your experience is typical. Your boyfriend sounds like he acts like most men feel inside. Some men are better at hiding it though, and these men are "romantic." OK, some men are genuinely romantic but it's kind of rare, and a majority of these guys are gay.

I think it's sad that men can't be themselves in a relationship. If a man is frugal, not a casanova, etc. he feels pressured to be something he's not. Being in a relationship to a lot of men is like living a lie. We hide our real feelings and personalities because women have such high expectations of us. As unromantic as you think men are, you should see how we'd be if we were actually our true selves.

Were you listening to the dude's story? He tried giving flowers regularly but it didn't work. And what's with all the talk of giving BJs for flowers? Are you a prostitute?

Girl, we should totally go on strike. No sex til we get our goddamn flowers. Of course some girls would give in. Sluts.

You can't really come right out and give your wife money for sex though.

So true Lien, I wish my husband would just give me cash. Around 100 bucks or so will be sufficient to "elicit a smile" (wink wink). 250 might be enough elicit an even bigger smile (anal).

Did you mean to write "he will get laid" or should that have been "she will get laid"?

I've been married for two years and I LOVE flowers. They just make me feel so special, loved and appreciated. I remind my husband once in a while how much I love them but he still won't buy them for me. When we were dating he bought me expensive flowers on valentines day once but that was it and since then I think he's only boughten me flowers maybe four times. It honestly makes me sad. Even for our wedding anniversary, he said he had been PLANNING on getting me flowers but then he didn't have time after work.. and then he never bought them later. I tell him even if he stopped by the grocery store on his way home from work and picked me up some $5 or $10 flowers, it would make me soo happy! But he won't. So every few months I go and buy myself flowers and it makes me feel so pathetic but once I'm home I cheer up just looking at them.. I wish he would understand that something so simple would make me feel so loved.
