Ummmm, too much work. Something like that is definitely worth while if you are pursuing something or someone you don't have. For example, if you've been with a chick for a few months and haven't gotten the pootie, it's worth the effort.

JMS is already married and has secured the woman he wants to be with so there's no need for something that extreme. Although it is a good idea, and if he does do it, she will love him even more.

My advice, go with a spa package. It falls into your budget of a couple hundred bucks, plus you get to get away from the woman for a day

That's what I'm getting my g/f for Valentines Day.

The way I see it, why should you stop treating them so well when you get married? They choose to spend the rest of their lives with you, the least you can do is occasionally make them feel like they're worth your time.

If a girl falls in love with you and chooses to marry you, they're basing that decision on how you act when you're still dating.... if you immediately change after you get married and stop doing all the "nice" things, it'll leave the marriage dry and almost disappointing.

I'm being very harsh there (sorry), and I know there's a lot more to it, however that's my take on it anyway.

If you still believe all that once you are married, then you will make someone a fine hubby someday. I don't disagree with you, in fact, I plan to treat my woman as well as I do now once I am married. I do all that "sweet" stuff now which is probably why guys like you and I never have problems getting ladies. You may have problems with ladies but I wouldn't think so. Based on the assumption that if you do those things, you probably don't have any problems.

I just think it's nice to get away from the woman once in a while so what better way than a day at the spa

sorry, this just made me remember a quote from adam corolla. "you see, my wife always calls me stupid, and I just tell her 'honey, I was born this way, I can't help it. You on the other hand have known I was a moron, and ya still married me, who's the idiot now?"

Holy crap that's adorable!

For me, it really is "the thought that counts." I know it's corny but I'd so much rather get something that I knew took some thinking about or that really showed my personality rather than something expensive like jewelry.

If you think that's sweet, wait until you hear what I'm doing for Valentines day.

My goal is to make her cry from happiness.

I don't want to post it though, cause her best friend reads UB...

I'll post it after it happens.

I also have another sweet surprise planned for this weekend... I'll explain Monday.

**jms** · 02-09-2006, 07:41 AM

and they say romance is dead. After you have kids you can't do that stuff anymore, you just don't have the energy. I'm leaning toward a pedicure and a massage. The flower thing is cool but if I leave them all over the place the kids will probably mess with them and I'll forget where I left them.

So at this point I'm looking at
Concert tickets, nice dinner out, pedicure, massage. I think it is a good package. I still need to do a birthday party too.

Storamin · 02-09-2006, 09:02 AM

take her to the cheesecake factory? girls love it when i take them there...

you guys are pussies, romance? you guys need to go reaffirm your masculinity by shooting something RIGHT NOW. NOTE: NOT PEOPLE ON A RESERVE.

**jms** · 02-09-2006, 09:22 AM

we went there for a christmas party, she liked it but it wasn't her favorite, the food was good though.

now I think you are just trying to pick a fight. there's nothing wrong with a bit of an age gap.
