Do you do anything out for Valentine’s?

[Guest]

Our drive in up near downtown Houston had its business night ever last night, and we normally are not open Monday nights outside of the summer and Christmas break. It was allllll couples doing Valentine’s stuff, and it got me thinking that in 17 years of marriage I think we have only ever gone out for Valentine’s one time and it was only because a restaurant we love was doing a one night only special menu that got our attention.

Other than that, Juanita usually makes something fancy for dinner at home. She also makes Valentine’s baskets for our kids, which was a new concept to me. My mom never made us anything like that.

 

Do you regularly go out for Valentine’s?

What do you fuckin' think? 

[Mr.Vic20]

Nope.

[Biggie]

Yes.

[SuperSpreader]

Dinner, unplanned. Restaurant was average, won't go back.

God No!

 

my parents when my dad was around didn’t do anything either. They did use the same Valentines Day card every year for 25+ years. Now sits in a shadow box my mom made for us to remember him.

I made us a steak dinner on Sunday. I also baked her cake rather then the usual here's a box of candy routine. We have gone out maybe twice in 23 years of marriage.

My wife does the same. She made candy baskets for my grown ass daughter and her fiancé.

I don't like holidays that tell me what I'm supposed to think or feel.

Nope, 17 years together and we’ve never celebrated a Valentines. Just feels hokey.

My mom use to give us a sleeve of them heart shaped suckers and cookies to take into school/work. She is still doing the cookies part and so I brought some heart shaped sugar cookies with red/pink sprinkles on top to work. They seem to be well liked as always

Oh, no chance my wife stops doing this until the day she dies. She’ll just eventually expand it to grandkids too!

Nada. I buy my wife flowers and treats all the time so it doesn’t make much sense to celebrate it.
 

I think we did celebrate the first two years of dating but you do all that dumb shit in the beginning before you get comfortable with each other and decide what you want to do. 

[Derek]

Did... nothing.

I bought my wife and daughter some flowers on a whim.

Did a tbone for two, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes. It was good stuff!

No, but in the past I have and I never fully enjoyed it. Restaurants packed, a lot of places wouldnt take reservations so you have to wait 45 minutes to be seated. I'm team celebrate at home.
