So this is the first time I have actually had a serious girlfriend on Valentine's Day. I want to make the day special....

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do and where to go? Also if anyone has good recipes to share that would be great.

Cheers

[Newbie]

You're the man.

In Korea on Valentine's Day just sit back and take in the gifts she buys for you....

But, on March 14 you got to go on the offensive.

Well I am not dating a Korean girl......so the whole 'White Day' business doesn's really mean much.

treat her like a princess and do a lot of little things
(which don't have to be expensive) maybe by some nice
massage oil, give her a massage and promise to give her
one whenever she is feeling stressed out.
Ater the massage or whenever perhaps some strawberries or even
better get a hold of some cadbury's chocolate, melt that baby down,
and voila chocolate coated strawberries.. I'd say the main thing is the attitude of showing her how much she means to you, more than
any particular gift. Also talking her through everything you are doing
and why you are doing it, help set the scene, create the mood if you will.
I hope the women of the board could correct me if I am wrong here.

I think it's not about buying stuff, so forget about the expensive candies (unless you like her chubby) or the too-easy dozen roses. I think women get off more on the time and attention you put into planning the day. Pick out a gift or flowers, but put some real time and thought into the selection, or at least make up some sweet sounding BS like "the flowers remind me of the place we first met last summer..." or something. Girls go for that sort of thing. Dress nice and take her somewhere classier than you usually go.

Maker her a lovely dinner with many courses and wine. She will love a massage and yes stawberries are always romantic(try and get chocolate sauce to go with them). Oh and Candles, lots of candles to set a nice mood with nice soft music. For presents, I usualy avoid all the cliché chocolates and roses and make her a coupon book or gift certificates(hand made). For example, I'll give her 5 coupons for a free massage at anytime, 3 coupons for a free dinner or lunch, lots of coupons for a kisses and hugs and lots of little sweet things like that. She loves it when I brush her hair so I always give her tons of coupons for that. Hope this helps a little.

On anoter valentines I basicly set up my very own spa in my apartment. I went to the body shop or any large store and got creams, oils, a nail polishing kit, I already had the foot bath so I just got some nice smelling bath crystals and lots of stuff you would find at the spa. She loved every minute of it and it wasn't expensive. Also, you;ll have all these products to use when you feel like treating her an a random day, which is really the best thing to do to make a girl feel loved and appreciated.

I don't know much, but it seems that generally the most important thing is time. How much time you spend planning what you will do and how much time you're willing to spend with her. Depending on the woman you're dating, then money may or may not be important to her. Try to tailor the day to what interests her, or what she finds romantic. She will want you to know what to do. Don't ask her, "What do you want?" She expects that you already know what she wants.

maybe your girl might do this for you.......

Get a thai massage for 2! You can get an awesome 1.5 hour massage for the both of you at the arts center near Shinsegae in Incheon for 120,000. After that take her to a nice dinner and her fire shall be lit

Maybe Im a cynic but when guys do things that are traditionally romantic it gets my guard up. I don't like to feel like like hes doing something calculated in the hopes of getting some. I agree that sentiment means a lot more than a price tag. Take her somewhere where she can get dressed up and then make sure to fawn all over her and make her feel beautiful. Best way to do that is to tell her repeatredly that she looks beautiful. Listening is also good. Buy her something thatcaters to her interests. For example, I love to draw so if a guy were to get me a sketchpad and pencils it would make me feel like he had been paying attention. Good luck!

The best idea on here so far is purchasing oils, giving her a massage, and eating strawberries & chocolate. I also think impressing her with a romantic meal is the way to go. Maybe stir fried vegetables & meat on a bed of rice? Oh, and wine.

And of course, you should buy Shiraz wine. That's the hottest stuff these days.

Now, can anyone help me with two things? How do you do the strawberries & chocolate thing, I don't know where to find a fondu set? And massage oils? Anyone know? Eagerly awaiting your replies!

[peppermint]

massage oils at the body shop,around the aromatherapy products. Unscented, but I think you can get them to scent it for you.


as for the fondue set might be a bigger challenge. If you can't find one: mix a little butter in with the chocolate and put it on low in the microwave for a minute or two. then set the container in a bowl of really hot water to keep it melty. ( maybe set flowers floating in the hot water to make it look pretty)

My wife really liked me washing her hair once (maybe do that again). That was a scene from Out of Africa. Chicks really dig that scene.

The massaging of body could be too much of an obvious try at "bedding" her for beginning dates in a relationship, though. But the washing hair was really sexy, she said, and she hadn't even seen the movie Out of Africa (Although we did watch A Man and a Woman--French flick--together once long ago, with the woman washing the man's hair).

Oh, my woman always wanted something in her hand (go figure, K-girl), and if I were to pull some she1t with talking only, she would fume. Nothing expensive though, I agree. I once wrote her a letter and sent it to her by post (even though we live together), and she never throws that letter away and carries it with her--go figure.

(This is really private in detail though, this thread *blush*. Maybe I aught to delete.)

I think experimenting is good. Try everything from cuffs to coifs, buds to ... humm... what rhymes?

Sometimes I just use chocolate icing, it is very sweet but if you get wipped icing it's not as bad. If you make her dinner, make alot of little meals, and finger foods so you can make it very romantic, like feading each other kind of stuff. Don't forget a few Candles and you can use a cream for a massage. Sometimes my GF prefers a nice coconut butter or honey cream than massage oil. I like the Idea about washing the hair, it's very soothing for the GF and not sexual. Usualy I'll give her a bath and wash her back but thats very sexual. Best of luck......oh I almost forget, if you can bake, make her some nice cookies or a nice cheese/chocolate cake. You can decorate it the way you want and right a little message on each cookie or at the top of the cake. There are so many things you can do........
