Valentine's Day (2 Viewers)

[Lili Marlene]

nah, we're going to a brewery.

Also it would be a terrible idea. No one likes visual puns on a date. I'm with Jill Hives about roses btw, they are fucking naff. But so is valentines day in general so I dunno.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Ask her to marry you.

 

[Jill Hives]

Third date >> Brewery = beer drinker = low maintenance = you'll get the ride if you're sound.

That said, bring a few flowers (like they sell on Grafton street not prepackaged) no more than five and no roses or carnations. You can't lose. Bases covered. Hives guaranteed.

i have a date on valentines day for the first time in years as a single man. i'm bound to get the ride, right?

now, it's a third date, so, do i bring a rose? we've been joking back and forth about valentines day saying it's bollocks and we should just have a fun night and not worry about it too much. but if i don't show up with something will i be going home alone? or will it be lame and awkward if i have a rose? advice, please, thumped!

Bernie, as it's the 3rd date, and given that it falls on Valentines, I'd say make the gesture and get a small pressie to give her, like a cd/album/book etc - something you know she either wants or would be into. That might just about cover all bases, and hopefully you will get the ride anyway!
Good luck!

Does she have to carry the flowers around with her all night then?

That's why I said only 5 or so. Yes, she gets attention from on lookers (most girls love that) without too much annoyance of carrying them around. No pre packaged yokes with tons of green in it.

i might pre-order something from the florist. orchids?

They are expensive. One would do. Are you picking her up or meeting? Remember she will have to carry it if meeting, like 7 said. Not too big.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Bring a cactus. Everyone likes cacti.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Compromise by dressing in lots of different flowers and ask her to take her pick

meeting, at a pizza and beer joint. it's not a fancy meal like. i think i'm making too big a deal of this.

Tip: Go to a card shop and buy one red (or any bright colour) satin ribbon. Go to a street flower vendor and buy a few flowers for a fiver. Take the ribbon and wrap it around the stems many times then make a bow. Trim the stems if too long. Sleek gift under a tenner that goes a VERY long way and it's easy to carry. It looks as if you put a lot of thought and effort when in fact, it took none. Everyone likes to feel special. Something that simple will do on a very low key date. Just have fun but you can't lose if you simply acknowledge it.

 

[rettucs]

shit, now i don't know what to think, maybe i better just cancel the date.

yeah I'd say cancel the date, deffo

this could be your future wife. You need to make a big deal of it. I'd say learn how to play the ukele and serenade her under the Trevi fountain after secretly whisking her off to there.

Hahahaha!

We are approaching this all the wrong way.

Since when did being nice get a woman to want you?

It's the opposite that usually works. How good are you at being a selfish prick?

 

[rettucs]

I think its important to pretend you're nice for a while and get her hopes up before letting her know you're a prick (it can be at different points on the same date)

thats what has me where I am today.

 

[Jill Hives]

There has to be a balance of prick/nice guy. I either go one way or the other, which never works. Find the balance, dudes!

you should have surreptitiously found out what flowers she likes well in advance, it's probably too late now to save this budding relationship (minor pun)

i suggest pale pink tulips. red ones might be too keen. might not help you much if she hates tulips though.

ha! Tulips are nice too. Sleek flowers but not sturdy.
