Ok, well my ex gave me aftershave once, and I gave her a necklace.

My current girlfriend hates the idea of Valentines day even more than I do...

I think I'll make a Valentine cake---you cook a round layer&a square layer. Then, you cut the round one in half--turn the square one around to where it looks like a diamond-shape, then place the round halves on the top sides of the square. Voila! A heart-shaped cake. Then, frost it with a pink frosting&decorate it any way you want. :)

:huh: Nothing IN it! :D But, pink frosting ON it--then decorate it with those little candy hearts, or that white stuff in a can you write with&say"Happy Valentine's Day" Or "Be Mine" or anything sentimental like that. Then sprinkle those colored sprinkles all over it.

Yeah this is the broken hearts club Stratolily, LOL! Actually there is a girl I am kind of getting friendly with. I really don't know how to approach it though. She is 26 years old, widowed, her husband died in Iraq while she was pregnant with their daughter. Quite a complicated situation. The obvious being the tragedy she faced with her deceased husband, and how he died. But I also don't know if I am ready to get involved with someone that has a child. I feel that if you date someone with kids you have to be willing to embrace the whole package, not to do so would be unfair to both the mother and the child. I take this seriously, and because of this it scares me that I may not be ready to be responsible enough. I like her though.

Tough one

:shock: Poor girl! She's really been through hard times. :cry: Well, I guess we all have different kind of tragedies in our lives. She lost her love, but for one hand she can be easy cause I guess he really loved her and his daugther. She must be shattered, it must be terrible, I can't imagine how she feels. You just have to think really well what you will do, listen to your heart, I guess you know this is a delicate situation. Reading what you've told about this woman, now I'm sure there's two kinds of death. The real one, when the person dies and go to heaven or hell, it depends, hehe! and when the person you knew dies in your heart...

Yeah, it is a tough situation. I just turned 30 years old, so I guess, age wise I should be ready for a family. I am but I don't trust myself. The last relationship I was in I was engaged, but I got bored of things. I thought it would pass. The relationship started out on fire, as most relationships do, but it fizzled down the stretch. I understand that after you've been together for awhile things change, the dynamics of the relationship change. I was mature enough to realize that after a bit you are no longer "all over eachother". She wanted me to be a "soap opera guy" and I am just not that guy. I was getting bored and frustrated, and thought I was doing a good job of hiding it, but I realize that in a relationship you can't hide things like that. I figured it would pass, but it didn't.

I like this girl a lot. And she is an amazing person. Such a strong person she is to deal with this. She has a great attitude, and looks for no sympathy. I too know how it is to deal with loss, it scars you, but you have to wake up everyday and get on with things. The way in which she carries herself astounds me. If anyone has a right to be bitter, and angry it would be her. But she is none of those things.

Her little girl certainly deserves a father figure. She (Paula) deserves a guy she can settle down with and start the family she wants. It scares me because I would hate to get into a relationship with her only to find out that it wasn't going to work. The last thing either of them need is more uncertainty, and more heartbreak. I hate hurting people. I go out of my way, most times, to avoid hurting someone. I take no pleasure in being the cause of someones misery.

In short, I am scared of hurting them. They don't need anymore hurt. For now, I will remain friendly with her, and continue to "feel out" the situation. Time will tell.

Well, this morning I gave my son a Valentine's Day hug&teased him about what he was going to get his girlfriend, since she is the main woman in his life now. :D And, he just smiled&replied,"None of your business, Mama!" Then, laughed. I assume he is going to get her a big card like last year--I send him an E-Card now. Used to, until 2 years ago I handmade him Valentines.

Valentine's day is for children&married people--I think the most of us others have more important things to worry about. However, I enjoy looking at beautiful Valentine graphics&images.

Last year I was cleaning out his closet&found a little box, being curious as usual I opened it&all the valentines I'd handmade for him were in that box! I thought he had thrown them all away! Needless to say, I got tears in my eyes, knowing he had kept them.
That's awesome!! i like things like that. My dad gave me this little thing yesterday, too... when parents do it, it's ok, because parents can get away with cute things like that. and hvyblah is a witness for my dad being all wholesome and cute. :P

re: ex partners... well i think once my ex gave me infidelity for valentines' day... heh....damn.

re: whatever: ... like some other people are saying i don't see why it's such a big thing to have ONE day where you can be cheesy. i think valentines' day is the only time i'm not cheesy and so on... maybe just to be contrary :P everytime i see my partner, which is rare, i try to have something silly to give her-- could be just a CD (the metal conversion has begun!!) or a treat, and once i gave her this necklace that had belonged to my mother <-- i said i'm cheesy and sentimental! hehe...

i dunno. i slept most of yesterday... heh! take that, st. valentine!

It is a day for consumer whores and commercialization to make extra money for people to make cheap gestures of 'love' to each other. Why not love each other on the other 364 days of the year? No, today, because the corporations and the money making machine that is consumerism tells you to, and like sheep, most people follow.

Valentine's day is a load of crap, and always has been. My girlfriend and I will be doing whatever we would usually be doing on any other Tuesday. I don't have to make an extra effort to show her how much I love her, that happens in any case on any other day. If you need a special day as an excuse to show your boyfriend/girlfriend how much you 'love' them, then maybe you're not in the right relationship.

No, I'm not in a good mood.
That's great! I totally agree with all that.

Of course it has more weight coming from a non-single person.
