First date on Valentine's Day is bad enough as it is. Taking her out to dinner? Jesus Christ.

Who said I was taking her to dinner? We're just going to get together for coffee. It's more of an introductory type deal more than anything.

But you know, assume whatever the hell you want. It wouldn't be the first time.

Did McCoy just grow some balls? :lol:

You mess with the bull, you'll get the horns.

It's so weird. All of a sudden I have this date, and the friend of a friend seems fairly interested as well.

First date on Valentine's Day, scheduled more than 10 days in advance?

Ummm ... why doesn't she want to go out on a date before then? Doesn't it seem odd she doesn't? If I like someone, I sure as hell ain't waiting nearly 2 weeks for a date. :blink:

Kinda sounds like she just doesn't wanna be alone for Valentine's Day. She may be using you ... which is okay I guess if you're doing the same with her. :lol:

LOL... good point

Maybe she wants to make it a special date, but everything is gonna be packed

And expensive. But maybe that's her point..... :shrugs:

I hate to be cynical, but I think dinner in a restaurant on Valentines Day is one of the uncoolest, most crass things one can possibly do. It's just a marketing scam and the restaurants and florists know it. It makes me cringe because they manipulate and exploit the crap out of it, making it the most unromantic day of the year.

It's more to do with the sentiment the two people are engaging in, the commercial intent of the restaurants and florists ain't really what the people get into it for, is it, thats like an aside and more to do with the corporate entities behind them, it don't make it any less about love than the people engaging. Moreover, it's just as anti-the-sentiment-of-the-day to refuse to participate or engage in an act of love (be it buying her flowers or taking her out) because of percieved commercial exploitation than the commercial exploitation is. By virtue of the fact that you're making a big deal out of the money aspect.

So you refuse to take her out on that day cuz of the 20% mark up that the restaurants impose, thats as cynical as anything Red.

I can think of so many other ways to celebrate love than doing what everyone else does and when everyone else does it. I really think most people go along with it because 'its the done thing'. It shows a real lack of creativity and when you're actually sitting in that restaurant with tables for 2 so closely packed together that you're closer to the couple next to you than your own lover, there's a distinct lack of romance in the air. I don't adhere to that kind of conformity. Find your own way to express and celebrate the love you have in your life, and do it all year, not one day in the year because someone at Hallmark decided it was going to be good for business.
