Betty asks…

My husband and Valentine’s Day?

I’m asking this again because I asked this morning, and all I got was answers from people being mean!

Anyway Valentine’s Day is coming up. I have my present all planned for my husband. I got him tickets to his favorite sporting event, and I arranged for him to meet his favorite sports player before the game, and to tour the locker room with him! However my husband has been a total jerk when it comes to Valentine’s Day for me! Anyway he suggested going to a ski lodge for a night, which I thought was a GREAT idea. The reason Valentine’s Day is so important to me, is because he has been away on business for most of the first year of our marriage. It’s the only holiday he’s been home for, and he’ll have to leave shortly after! I just want to make V Day a really good memory for both of us to remember while we’re apart again, you know? People earlier were acting like I am a money grubbing gift grabbing wife and I’m NOT, I just want him to put some effort into it and show some thought. But the ski lodge idea was great, and I told him I LOVED it! Then out of nowhere he drops the idea, and I was totally disappointed. He told me it was “too much money” but I handle the money, and I know that it’s not. We have 0 money problems, and we are well off (again, NOT about the money, I’m just saying, we can definitely afford it). So then he starts looking at jewelery for me, which I guess was sweet, but personally I like to pick my own jewelry because I feel really bad if my husband picks something and it’s not my style and I just don’t want him to waste his money. Guys are not always good at picking out jewelry. But what really bugged me was that it was MORE expensive than spending the night at the ski lodge. WTF, he just said that was too expensive?! So I tried to get at the bottom of why he didn’t want to go to the ski lodge anymore, and he just won’t tell me. It’s a jerk move to say you’re going to do something with your wife then just say no out of nowhere. So then he started looking around at other gifts, and he SERIOUSLY suggested a LITTER BOX?! The other stuff he suggested was all ripped from a generic Amazon “suggested Valentine’s Day gift list.” That is not romantic or sentimental at all.

I am just the kind of person that I think it’s the thought that counts, and he’s not putting any thought into this at all. If he spent like $20, got a scrapbook, and scrapbooked with me, or even just watched a movie with me while I did it, made a card, or something that showed he was THINKING OF ME, I would be happy. But he’s not doing any of that. He’s suggesting jewelry I don’t want, a litter box, gifts that don’t mean anything, etc. I’d be happy if he planned a nice date out like to where we had our first date, or breakfast in bed, or something. He’s all excited about his present but he couldn’t care less about mine, and I’m at the point where I don’t even want to give him his gift anymore. He won’t do the 1 idea of his that I really liked. I suggested scrapbooking, making a card, or planning a nice date like I said here, and he just blows it off. I want to know what gives here, and I do NOT want to be accused of being selfish or high maintenance or greedy. Like I said I don’t care WHAT the gift or outing is just that is has some SENTIMENT behind it. I support him while he’s away doing his business and I work hard back at home to keep everything together with the house and I work as well, and I think that I do deserve for him to show that he’s thought of me and I don’t think it’s too much to ask or it’s high maintenance. It’s frustrating to me because I KNOW he is trying to come up with SOMETHING for Valentine’s Day. He is TRYING. But he does NOT seem to get that it’s the thought that counts and that it was means the most, and he does NOT like the things that I suggest, such as agreeing with the ski lodge for a night, a scrapbook, or something like that. :(

No jerks answering this time, please.
I have suggested stuff like breakfast in bed, a bubble bath together, going to where we had our first date… he won’t!!! I’ve suggested personal and sentimental things… no go!!! He won’t do the one idea he suggested that I liked!!!

I’m not going to plan my own date or buy my own gift! There is NO MEANING in that, and I would rather have NOTHING than that.
I HAVE talked to him… I communicated with him a lot… I told him that first of all I’m really hurt that he suggested something then refused to follow through with it… I’ve suggested a number of really simple things he could do… like a scrapbook or cooking dinner or something like that… and he just DOES NOT LISTEN! Why are men like that?!?!
You guys are not even understanding… he is asking me what to get or to do… and I tell him but then he WON’T DO IT. So why does he even ask? It’s not like I’m bugging him by shooting down all of his ideas. He asks me for ideas, I give them, and he refuses. WTF is that about? Why ask if you’re not going to take any input?

badmin answers:

Oh lord, i know what you mean. No your not being unreasonable. But on the other hand, you’ve got to let him come up with it on his own. It sounds to me like he’s already got something planned & is just jerking you around. You already made it clear how important the day is to you. Leave it at that. Dont mention it again. And if he still drops the ball, let him have it Feb 15th. But Feb 14th, make it the best damn day the 2 of you have ever had together. No matter what he does or doesnt do for you. By the way- great gift you came up with for him! He’ll be ecstatic!

Helen asks…

My Boyfriend will be spending Valentine’s Day with his Wife?

…and I’ll be spending Valentine’s Day with my husband. However, we plan to send each other text messages all day long and a few e-mails and phone calls. We are also thinking of haveing our OWN Valentine’s Day celebration a few days later.
My question is… what can I do for him on February 14th that is unique and special…yet discreet….so that he knows how much I’m thinking of him? I’d like to have some sort of gift sent but obviously can’t sign my name to it or make it tooo overtly romantic. Just something sweet and simple yet special. Any ideas???
you all aren’t being very helpful. I need gift ideas not lectures, thank you very much.

badmin answers:

If you have a special song you could dedicate it to him over the radio…send him a text message telling him to put that station on at a certain time.

Lizzie asks…

Is it okay not to get a man anything for Valentine’s Day?

I am in the military and I am tdy right now for a training class. Well, I went out and got my wife a Valentine’s Day gift and told her we could exchange when I came back home next week. Well, apparently not because she didn’t get me anything. To make things worse, my birthday was three days prior and she didn’t get me anything for that either (even though she said she had an idea of what she was buying). Her excuse for Valentine’s Day is that “it’s a woman’s holiday.” I am not really a guy that asks anybody for gifts. For the most part I don’t really expect any but I’m starting to get pretty disappointed in my wife because the only time she buys me anything is Christmas. When Father’s Day comes around I don’t get anything. I wouldn’t really be upset too bad but when I think about it I do everything for her and I can’t even get like a cheap $3 gift just to say “hey baby, I care.” Am I wrong for feeling this way? Is Valentine’s Day really only for girls? What about the other holidays?

badmin answers:

To be honest, I do think of it more for women than for men, but I bought my husband a card.

Regardless, just let her know how you feel, but in a dispassionate way. Long before the next gift-giving opportunity comes up, tell her that it would make you feel good to get a gift, even if it was just a cheap gift. Tell her it reminds you that she is thinking of you and you don’t really care what it is, but just some way to show her appreciation for you. Don’t make it a complaint. Don’t say “you”. Say “I” would feel really special, etc.

Sandy asks…

Who dislikes valentine’s day? and why?

[when i say women, i don't mean everyone, just the ones i've come in to contact with]

Valentine’s Day was supposed to be a day for love right? Then why is it that it has become a day for women to expect gifts from men, and men get nothing in return?
And please. Sex is NOT a gift. Giving your gf/wife a gift, and expecting sex is the same transaction they have in a whore house. Any guy with about $100 can get sex. Sex is “love-making” both men and women share.
Ads like these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWrJgFjxlS0 ruin the idea of valentine’s day!
If you’re giving your bf/husband sex for presents, you’re being a prostitute.

The unfortunate thing is many women find this day SO special, when it’s really not. Your bf/husband should love you spontaneously. Why do women value their relationships on such material objects on Valentine’s Day?

Women complain that men aren’t romantic, I understand that men have to initiate the romance, but why do women expect SO much from men and do NOTHING of the same value in return?
Women go on and on about what their perfect guy would be, and what he would do. But they never say what THEY will do for the guy. Why do they think that just because they’re women, they’re automatically perfect?
Why do women take chick-flicks seriously? Why do they base romance off what the media portrays? “he has to do what Edward did” or “I want him do with Noah did from the Notebook”. These are fictional characters, in a fictional story. I feel that these women haven’t grown up since they were little girls, and still expect a Disney Princess story.

Why is it so one sided? In a world where women and men are supposed to be treated as equals, why do men let women walk over them? Women want the best of both worlds, and it’s disgusting. They claim chivalry is dead, but women are the ones who killed it. Women have to pick to either be an equal to men, or be the traditional woman. You can’t be both. Feminism has become twisted, and men should take the stand now.
I’m appalled at women who are entitled to all these material things, JUST because they’re women. As if men don’t like to receive gifts?

My ex-girlfriend and I never celebrated valentine’s day, it was just a normal day. But the women i’m meeting now are so shallow.

Is it really so tough to find a woman who actually believes in equality?
Gamble, I have no issues when men taking women out to dinner. Just saying it would be nice to hear your girlfriend say “i got you a couple bottles of beer for you!” or “let’s go out for dinner tonight! my treat!”. I believe it’s about reciprocity.

But i think you’re right, i think i’m hanging around the wrong group. I hope you’re right, i hope there are sane women out there.

badmin answers:

I have met a few Women that wanted everything for Valentines day but I have met many other that don’t see it like that, it’s just the crowd your around. A lot of women don’t expect anything other than a nice dinner or something but that shouldn’t be a problem, that is something that a Guy should do for his Gal anyways if it means that much to her. Valentines Day isn’t based upon direct love to your partner it’s a day of love between everyone, or it’s suppose to be anyways, Media warps it a bit but that’s the same as everything else. As for the commercial, I don’t see whats wrong with it, its no different than any other commercial trying to get high ratings and be publish for more views. If you don’t like Valentines day and you have a woman that does, let her know and do something simple like dinner as I said before; it Doesn’t have to be fancy, you could make a nice one at home and follow up with a movie or something of your interests.

Your Questions About Valentine’s Roses Gifts

Ruth asks…

Would you like an early Valentine’s gift from me? Yes it’s for YOU, please comment and critique, thanks?

Especially For You

One single rose, a gift from me,
Soft petals of a crimson hue.
The thorns I’ve peeled from slender stem,
To save their sharpness pricking you.
The perfume is from Heaven scent,
This is the finest bloom of all.
I’ve dressed it in a cloak of leaves,
A simple token very small.
I grew it in a bed of love
And nurtured it both night and day,
Then with my tears I watered it,
Until it made a fine display.
I’ve sent it in a golden box,
Tied with a ribbon in a bow.
To thank you for your kind support,
For reading poems that I show.
Although the image in your mind,
May fade and die before too long,
I hope the words that I have penned
Will melt your heart and sing your song.
Visitor – you are quite right, far too many s sounds (lol)

badmin answers:

Sweet Cassie,
Thank you for the roses. They’re so red and beautiful and very well written.

I have a little poem that I want you to read. The author is anonymous but touched my heart he did. It’s not concerning packing up, its nothing of that kind, It’s all about the most abiding love that you and I can find :

ROSES FOR ROSE.
Red roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose.
And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows.
The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door.
The card said, “Be my Valentine,” like all the years before.
Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say,
“I love you even more this year, than last year on this day.
“My love for you will always grow, with every passing year.”
She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear.
She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day.
Her loving husband did not know, that he would pass away.
He always liked to do things early, way before the time.
Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine.
She trimmed the stems, and placed them in a very special vase.
Then, sat the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face.
She would sit for hours, in her husband’s favorite chair.
While staring at his picture, and the roses sitting there.
A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate.
With loneliness and solitude, that had become her fate.
Then, the very hour, as on Valentines before,
The doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door.
She brought the roses in, and then just looked at them in shock.
Then, went to get the telephone, to call the florist shop.
The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain,
Why would someone do this to her, causing her such pain?
“I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago,”
The owner said, “I knew you’d call, and you would want to know.”
“The flowers you received today, were paid for in advance.”
“Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance.”
“There is a standing order, that I have on file down here,
And he has paid, well in advance, you’ll get them every year.
There also is another thing, that I think you should know,
He wrote a special little card…he did this years ago.”
“Then, should ever, I find out that he’s no longer here,
That’s the card…that should be sent, to you the following year.”
She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard.
Her fingers shaking, as she slowly reached to get the card.
Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note.
Then, as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote…
“Hello my love, I know it’s been a year since I’ve been gone,
I hope it hasn’t been too hard for you to overcome.”
“I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real.
For if it was the other way, I know how I would feel.
The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life.
I loved you more than words can say, you were the perfect wife.”
“You were my friend and lover, you fulfilled my every need.
I know it’s only been a year, but please try not to grieve.
I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears.
That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.”
“When you get these roses, think of all the happiness,
That we had together, and how both of us were blessed.
I have always loved you and I know I always will.
But, my love, you must go on, you have some living still.”
“Please…try to find happiness, while living out your days.
I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways.
The roses will come every year, and they will only stop,
When your door’s not answered, when the florist stops to knock.”
“He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out.
But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt,
To take the roses to the place, where I’ve instructed him,
And place the roses where we are, together once again.

Mandy asks…

Do guys expect gifts and things on Valentine’s day?

Hmmm I guess I should say where im from valentine’s day isnt very popular. But only the girl gets gifts if any. Now that im in America I see lots of postings and stuff of girls asking what to get their boyfriends/husbands? Do you really get them things? if so what? chocolates and roses like they give you? or a real gift like a tv or something? lol thanks.

badmin answers:

Well i don’t know where you are from but in America men usually do expect something even if it’s just a card. But some other ideas are cologne, a romantic dinner, I guess it just depends on how serious the relationship is. I hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Carol asks…

Who else thinks Valentine’s Day is just another day created by women to get gifts?

Seriously! What kind of gifts do men get on Valentine’s Day? They get a homemade meal or a nice shirt or some other lame-o gift. Women get roses, jewelry, candy, expensive dinners somewhere, or a weekend getaway at a “romantic” hotel. This holiday is DEFINITELY a woman-created day; right?!
Yes, I am a girl; but I think it’s silly how females use every tool they can to get gifts and money out of men. I hate the fact that I have to be part of their gender sometimes……
I have a special someone! I have been happily married for 10 years. Every year, my husband and I discuss this holiday, and I just wanted other views on it. He feels the same way I do, and usually he will bring me a single rose. I know he loves me, and I don’t need a $1000 diamond or a $300 dinner to prove it.

badmin answers:

I don’t know exactly if women CREATED Valentine’s Day, but they’ve definitely managed to twist it to their selfish desires! (Just like weddings.)

Your Questions About Valentines Day Flowers

Carol asks…

What kind of Valentines Day flower would you suggest?

My church’s Youth group and I were planning on passing out flowers on Valentines Day at a local nursing home. Unfortunately, most flowers (especially roses like we were planning) get really expensive that time of year. And we’re a poor crowd.

What kind of flower would you suggest?

Venus Flytraps.

Who else thinks that flowers are the worst Valentines day Gift?

I informed my boyfriend today (because I found out he was getting me flowers for V-day )that flowers were stupid and a waste of money because they just die. and he got mad and asked me if he was dating a man. But you have to admit they are a silly gift.

badmin answers:

Haha..
ME!
They are the silliest of gifts…they die like in 2 days..and you have to keep watering them..
I’d prefer something my boyfriend knows I like/want..a new book from my fave author, a video game I really wanted, a funky piece of jewelry..stuff like that.

Charles asks…

What would some of you ladies perfer for valentines day , flowers& candies or a pair of sexy high heels?

badmin answers:

Heels…period.
Flowers die, candies go straight to my butt, high heels rock, look sexy, and stick around long after the guy bails.

Your Questions About Flowers Valentines Delivery

Lisa asks…

Does FTD delivery flowers arranged in a vase?

I ordered flowers from 1-800-flowers one valentine’s day, and they were delivered to my wife in a box….not very romantic. Well, I want to make up for that day, so I’m giving another service a shot, FTD.

Does anyone know if FTD delivers flowers arranged beautifully in a vase if I choose their “same day florist delivery” option?
Now that I think of it, it may have been ProFlowers not 1-800-flowers that sent the box flowers.

badmin answers:

Yes….Depending on what you have selected from the online catalog, not only are they in a vase, but the vase is filled with water.

I need valentines day flower delivery!?

badmin answers:

Call or go to a flower shop first thing in the morning and order the flowers to be delivered whenever you want.

Steven asks…

Any flower website that doesn’t delivery flowers in a box?

I ordered at proflowers.com last time, and instead of delivering the flower in a vase, the flowers were put in a box and I ended up having to arrange the flowers in the vase myself. I do NOT want that to happen again this year. I want my mom (person getting the flower) to be in awe when she sees the flowers beautifully arranged in the vase when she receives them from the delivery man this Valentine’s Day.

Do you know any website that delivers like that? I will never use ProFlowers ever again.

badmin answers:

Then order the arrangement with a vase, there is that option too.

Robert asks…

best valentine flower delivery service?

I’m in a long distance realtionship and my GF is really down and missing me this valentines missing me. so i want to send her flowers. soo..whats the best online source? i checked out 1-800flowers and i really like the fact that they contact local florists and its delivered the same day. but i do wish there was a different variety like on proflowers. so anyone know another site that offers same day?

badmin answers:

Teleflora.com offers same-day delivery, and here is their policy regarding that:

“To assure same-day delivery, orders must be received before 2:00 PM, Monday – Friday, or before 12:00 Noon on Saturdays in the recipient’s time zone. Orders received after that time may be delivered the following day.”

I don’t know which time zone they are referring to, though! You might want to ask customer service first.

If you’re still on the fence, pick up any bridal magazine. There’s always ads for florists.

A creative suggestion: There is franchise called Edible Arrangements, where they send chocolate-covered fruit instead of flowers! :) They’re tasty, but the downside is that I think you have to order ahead of time and it can be on the expensive side. Here is their website with all the locations: http://www.ediblearrangements.com/locations/Stores_List.aspx

Charles asks…

Help/tips to properly care for phalaenopsis orchids?

I have long admired the beauty of Orchids but have never personally had them in my home. On Valentine’s Day I received some beautiful phalaenopsis orchids as a gift. The only instructions given with them were to water with 6 ice cubes once a week (3 ice cubes for each plant-i have 2) and to keep in a well lit room but away from direct sunlight. Seemed easy enough but I soon realized I don’t know much about orchids at all. I noticed some wilting petals and a slight browning around the edges and on the tip of one of the leaves but they are a healthy looking green otherwise. I called the florist my fiancee got them from and she rudely ignored what I consider to be valid questions for a first timer. Told me these are the easiest orchids to care for. That I shouldn’t bother with something I know nothing of and was no help at all. After a little research on the internet i find myself thoroughly confused. I found a lot of conflicting information so basically I would love it if somebody that has long-term experience caring for these plants would help me understand them. Here are some of my immediate questions:

Do the browning leaves and wilting petals mean my orchids are dying? What can I do?

There are other green plants planted in the pot along with the orchids, should I be concerned with over-watering if I water those as well?

Should I snip the wilting flowers? Are they harmful to the rest of the plant? Or should I allow them to fall off on their own?

I read that once blooming stops I should cut the stems and I have a choice to either cut it all the way down to allow the plant to gain strength or to cut at the “node” and go for a “re-bloom”. Can somebody please explain this process to me? How I go about “cutting” and which route is best for my orchids?

How exactly does the “dormant” stage work after all the flowers fall off? Is caring for them different than it would be while in-bloom?

I was once told that if a “keiki” grows from your orchids you can snip that part off to grow in another pot as a whole new plant. Is this true? How is this done?

I know that is QUITE the list of questions. I am a curious person who would like any and all information I can get. If you know something that may help me out, please feel free to tell me so! I would love to have multiples of these orchids all around my home so I am looking to learn as much as possible and every response is appreciated. I will include if I can a couple pictures of the browning on the leaves and the “mystery” plants that accompany my beauties. Hopefully somebody can tell me what they are and how I should go about watering them. Thanks in advance!

Please follow this link to see the pictures I mentioned above.

badmin answers:

Hello Britni,

My name is Gardengail and I work for the Home Depot in the garden center. When you water your orchids it is important to water when the orchids are dry, if potted with other plants you may not be able to keep it as dry as it needs to be. Water until the water runs out of the bottom, if you don’t, you have a good chance of the tips of all of your leaves turning brown, watering with ice cubes just won’t do it. You can cut off the wilted flowers, but not green stems, if the stems die back and turn brown the it is ok to snip them back past the green part just a little. Here is a link to a video that one of our experts online, Grow2Girl, did with the re potting of the plant and the keikis.

If possible, I’d like the cost to be under $50, or even $30. I am still only a student.

We’ve been together for over a year, too. And this is for Valentine’s day.

Her favorite flower is the daisy, so I may send a small bouquet of Daisies to her if I can not find a rose.

If possible, please set the source as the direct URL link to where I can view the product.

I’ve tried searching for florists in her area, but they have only arrangements.
I’ve heard of 1800flowers, but I’ve also heard of someone receiving dead flowers. Therefore, 1800flowers will be my last resort.

badmin answers:

Call a local florist that is part of the FTD network.

They will take care of your order AND take responsibility for it. They use the network to make sure a local florist where you want the order delivered completes your order. If there is a problem then you can go into your local florists store and sort things out.

Online ordering can save you a few dollars, but the problem then is that they use UPS or some other shipper to deliver the goods. A rose won’t look good if it has gotten cold. And it has gotten plenty cold this winter here in North Carolina to ruin some roses.

Sandy asks…

I told my girlfriend’s friend that I like her. What do I do now? Do I follow my heart? This is complicated!?

I am a 26 year old and I have been on a steady relationship for 4 years, which I am going to break up. I’ve been friends with this other girl since High School. I have seen her through multiple relationships, an on/off 6 yr relationship with this one guy and she now has a small child. I have always loved her as more than a friend, but we were always in relationships and could never tell her, timing was never right. Finally, this past Valentine’s I anonymously sent her flowers, she called the florist and figured out it was me. She confronted me about it and I awkwardly ended up telling that I like her. She said she never thought of me that way and doesn’t want to have anything to do with me breaking up with my girlfriend, who she is good friends with. Since then, we have seeing each other more than ever, she smiles when I flirt with her, she is opening up to me when we talk, and we secretly stare at each other when we are around friends and even my girlfriend and her unsteady boyfriend. Still I am unsure of how she feels, or if she now thinks of me differently. I feel I need to tell her again, I need to find out if she will ever give me a chance or whether I should swallow my pride and move on. I am breaking up with my steady girlfriend regardless, because I don’t think we are meant to be.

I want to tell her something like…There are things I wish I could take back, not the fact that I said I that like you, but the way you found out. So without hope or agenda I am going to try again… You told me to follow my heart and that means telling you the truth of how I feel…Everyday I can’t stop thinking of you, I spend all day wondering if I should text you and what to text you, I lay awake at night thinking of you, I see him touching your hand and I wish it was me… I am saying all this because I am taking a reckless chance at love and I hope that eventually someday you can give my wasted heart a chance too…Will you?

I am normally a shy guy, I don’t flirt, chase down girls, or send flowers, so for me this is reckless behavior, but I think love is making me do crazy things.

Am I coming on too strong? am I doing this right???

badmin answers:

To be honest, I think ur doing it all right. But i recommend that u just take it slow. Get her to try it out with u or maybe get ur opinion on it. U have to talk to her and the longer u stay unhappy in ur current relationship, the worse it ill be at the break up; make it happen now rather than later. Then ur free to chase her friend down and flirt with her freely with no guilt on ur conscious. Its wat i would do anyway and I recommnd it, but its ur choice and just talk to her first. U have to account for everything and know as much as you can before making any decisions…

You will need: colored candies, the empty packet of vitamins where you stick on a new label with words “Love vitamins”. ” To consult with your doctor or pharmacist does not need, take these vitamins as often as you want! Only caution – do not make yourself sweetened.” (or make your own label based on how you feel about him)

Laminate a photo of the two of you, made into a bookmark – so it can be a few small pics or just one, glue it to construction paper with hearts, then hole punch the top and put a piece of ribbon or twine of some kind through the hole and tie it off.

Carol asks…

1 year anniversary AND Valentine’s day gift for boyfriend ideas?

Two days after Valentine’s day is going to be my one year anniversary and I am wondering what I should get for my boyfriend (he is 20 years of age) to celebrate.
Yes, he loves videogames and sports and all that stereotypical “guy” stuff, but he has an awesome soft sensitive side too… So I’d like to get him something special or “cute”, y’know what I mean? In my opinion giving someone a videogame as an anniversary gift is really tacky.

I’ve been thinking of some ideas, but I was wondering if any of you guys had some better ones. I could use some inspiration.

badmin answers:

Red Roses is essential for him, if you know his taste then choose cake for his choice. If you don’t know his choice then we suggest select heart shaped vanilla, pineapple cake or butterscotch cake because maximum likes vanilla, pineapple flavors. If he is softhearted then we suggest send heart shaped arrangement along with cake to him. Some men like gadgets, then you should select a medium size gadget for his pocket or for his vehicle, because all men loves his vehicle.

Helen asks…

Friends and Valentine’s Day?

With Valentine’s Day approaching, it seems the world is splitting into two groups; those who have
a ‘special someone’ to spend the day with, and those who don’t. As part of the former group, I’m not particularly worried about finding things to do…. However, I personally think the Valentine’s Day definition can be extended to include showing close people in general that you love them, not just that special someone. Not to say that I’ll be going on a romantic dinner with my girlfriends, and not to say you shouldn’t try to show people close to you that you care the other 364 days of the year. But still. Would it be appropriate to give Valentine’s Day gifts like flowers, chocolates to friends and such?

badmin answers:

I think that gifts to friends is completely appropriate. One year I even gave my older brother a Valentine. I had been through a lot that year and he was a huge support for me. It wasn’t extravagant, it was a card and a tub of mint chocolate icing, lol (his favorite) Valentine’s is a day to show those you care about that you do care. If you feel you want to give a gift, do it. You will make the other person’s day!!

Maria asks…

What can I do for Valentine’s Day in a long distance relationship?

I don’t think my bf and I will be able to meet up around valentine’s day, but I’d like to send him something in the mail. Flowers, chocolates, etc. are corny in my opinion, especially for a guy. Anyone got any good ideas?

badmin answers:

A handwritten card can do wonders to tell someone you love them so I would suggest that. I would also suggest sending him two tickets to the opera or something that he loves doing and have him bring something that reminds the two of you of each other. Something romantic and fun that you two share with each other. Then you can use one of the many digital means at the end of the night to have a “happy ending” later at night….

Thomas asks…

What’s a good Valentine’s Day gift for a girl who doesn’t like chocolate or flowers?

She’s a tom-boy, a skater and she doesn’t like chocolate( except for Ferrero Rocher) and she doesn’t like flowers.
Also no candles or girly stuff…or perfume.
What should I get her?!

badmin answers:

Does she like to read? A book is always a nice gift you can write a cute message in it.
Or movies? Gift cards or make a nice dinner or cupcakes?

Mary asks…

Generally, if you get a secret admirer on Valentine’s Day, does it continue?

Generally speaking, if you get a flower or some chocolates for Valentine’s Day like through your school, and there is a nice note attached with no name (so like a secret admirer), is it just a one time thing? Or does it continue? Does the secret admirer typically continue to make contact by putting notes in your locker or something even if they are shy?

badmin answers:

Never had one.

Chris asks…

Where can I buy black roses?

I need to buy an arrangement of black roses and ship them from Massachusetts, USA to London, Ontario in Canada. Where can I order some flowers to have them shipped (aside from my local flower store) by valentines day? And as far as people’s opinions, should I make a custom arrangement of real or fake ones? Silk or Velvet?

You can buy black roses at your local floral store. You can also get them from 1-800-flowers as well. You may need to give them a bit of a notice to ensure they have them in stock.

Charles asks…

Ever had a very expensive meal out?

I was treated to a family meal the Ritz London but missed it! Another time I was treated to a very expensive meal on Valentines Day with two male friends! Seemed to be a lot of flowers on the tables!
Also had a meal in Paris and it was pricey

badmin answers:

There is good food, and there is expensive good food. Is a bottle of Petrus wine so good as to justify a price of £1900?

In some cases, the expense is justified – some of the best sauces in places such as the Ritz are expensively made by reducing top quality meat slowly to add to the base roux. In other cases one is paying for the name of the chef or restaurant. Food critics are often not much help, as they have prejudices for and against chefs and cooking styles. Furthermore, ‘a good meal’ can often be defined by ones social status – celebs who know nothing about food eat at Gordon Ramsay and his ilk, whereas pukka gastronomes may be seen at less-prominent restaurants where the food outshines the bling.

I recently had a very good dinner in the restaurant of the Bull Hotel, Peterborough – a ham and pea potage followed by venison with pureed herbed carrots and a celeriac and potato rosti and an excellent cheeseboard – price £25.

One of my signature dishes is a beef stew whose recipe originates in the Puglia region of Italy. Several people who have eaten it have enthused about it being a good example of Italian High Cuisine. In fact, it is a peasant dish that relies on the slow reduction of cheap cuts of fatty meat to make the rich jus, and is about as close to Italian High Cuisine as a bacon sandwich is. Another dish that I do holds the magnificently patrician title of ‘haricots avec fond tomate au pain grille’, which translates to ‘beans on toast’

The moral that I make is that, unless you are already an epicure, it is wise to do some research before going out for your expensive feed. If you know one, ask a chef – we know the tricks of the trade. You might be surprised at our recommendations.

What can I get my boyfriend for his birthday?

My boyfriend lives at home with his parents and earns a good wage, where as I own my own property and earn an average wage. And so he pays for most things probably 90% of things we do he pays for.

Because he’s got enough money there isn’t anything he wants which he hasn’t got.

For Valentines Day he paid for a hotel in London, took me to a show, out for a meal, shopping for me with his money, flowers etc. In return I bough him a CD.

I’ve asked him what he wants for his birthday (6 days after mine) and he doesn’t give me any ideas because he hasn’t got any himself.

What dya get the guy that’s got everything he wants and who is so generous to me with presents and treats?

I haven’t got much money to spend.
He’s gonna be 24

Your Questions About Valentine’s Day Florist

James asks…

What’s up with that?

I reminded the guy that Valentine’s Day was coming. I was oh so hoping for anything; a little note even. The door rang and for sure I thought it was the florist. Now, go figure when he sent me a letter slathered in cologne, and hinted about things in it. Give me a break.

badmin answers:

Hmm, well I’m not sure. Is this your bf or someone you like, or like you. I mean, Valentine’s Day is suppose to symbolize love and devotion, but it doesn’t have to be overblown by gifts. He doesn’t have to buy you anything, but maybe he had you at heart and not sure what to give you so he wrote you a letter hoping you’ll hear his feelings for you and fall for him. So don’t get mad at him, boys are sometimes not as romantic as one hopes they might be, but he’ll come around. Good luck.

What is a Croquis flower and where can you buy one?

I live in NYC and want to get my boyfriend a Croquis flower for Valentine’s Day. Does anyone know what this looks like (a picture maybe?) or if you can even find or buy one anywhere? I’ve been searching but haven’t exactly been able to figure out exactly what it is.
(He mentioned liking them a lot and I really would like to find him one).

I went to a local florist and the guy that was working outside didn’t know what I was talking about and tried to sell my a random potted bulb saying it was a croquis flower. I just don’t know where to look!
I’m sorry I think the actual spelling of the flower is Crocus. Thanks!

badmin answers:

A crocus is a lovely flowering bulb, known as one of the heralds of spring. Their bloomtime is somewhere between that of snowdrops and daffodils. You might be able to find them growing in pots at your local nursery (assuming they have nurseries in NYC). The bulbs are usually planted in the fall garden and bloom in late winter. Google it under images, and you will see many examples of crocus. You should be able to find them readily during this time of year if you know what you’re looking for …

Your Questions About Types Of Flowers For Valentine’s Day

Susan asks…

Girls, help me read this girl when we went out!?? (10pts!)?

I (21) just had a first date with a girl (19), and not sure what to think.

At the end she gave me a hug and it seemed rushed and such…but during the date there were few times when I could tell she was having a really good time, and was touching me, laughing and smiling and all those positive signals.

I know she made i known she likes to go really slow with relationships so I don’t think its too bad that she didn’t kiss me, but I’m not sure what to think because she was really smiling a lot and touching me, etc. but other times it was awkward because there was longer silences when we were talking. Is it normal to have silences, or is it a bad signal.

I’m not sure what to do, we’ve been talking mostly through texts because schedules make it hard to call each other, but I am not sure what to think of it overall, and therefore don’t know how to make the after-date contact and when.

Should I just message her saying I had a good time and hope to go out again or something, even if I’m not sure if she liked going out?

Also she asked me about my other relationships in the past…is this a good sign or bad sign (friend zone type of thing)..

BTW: It was a “first date” but we hungout 2 times before talking for almost and hr both times, we ave been texting periodically for the last 2 weeks as well. After each hangout she’d give me a hug..this one was supposed to be for valentine’s day, but 2 days late due to our schedules. I gave her a pink Tulip when we first met-up bc i was valentine’s day and wanted to give her a flower, but not a cliche rose. She sort of put it away in her bag (I think this was a totally stupid move by me to do it I realized)

Thanks a lot for help.

badmin answers:

Not giving away “girl secrets” You’ll have to date her some more to find out.

Maria asks…

Am I too selfish?

Okay, so we all know that V-Day is coming up and I’ve been with my b/f for over two years. Im not really expecting a lot, I just really love the cliched valentine’s gifts. I know my b/f is not rich and I am not expecting diamond jewelry or anything, but sometimes his gifts are a little cheap. Last year he got me a dozen roses from a fundraiser at his school. And I was fine with that, in fact I was thrilled because it was more than the usual one rose. Then when i got them they were kind of wilted and smooshed, I guess it was because the people who put them together weren’t professional’s. They died the next day. I was okay with that and I didn’t say anything because I didnt want to hurt his feelings, this year he’s getting me the same thing again from his school. I was really hoping to get daisies or some other type of flower from a aflower shop. I dont need the expensive $50 dollar rose bouquet, I just want something a little special. I found out that he bought me a $5 box of candy
I just we he would go the extra mile sometimes. I bought him a nice box of chocolates and a b-ball hat that he wanted to but, which was a little more expensive than the normal prices for those. Everytime I try to nicely brings it up and he just sighs and I think that he thinks I’m spoiled. I just want a little more when it comes to v-day. I’m not expecting him to spend a whole lot, just make it special. Am I too selfish?
I’m back again sorry. Some other things popped into my mind. I know that he doesn’t have a lot of money. I would love to get balloons, or just a few flowers that he picked out and put together. It seems like he always tries to find the cheapest way to make me happy. This past Christmas he bought me a necklace because I really wanted jewelry for xmas. I was hoping for like real gold. He got me a necklace that was engraved, but it wasn’t real, it was only 30 dollars. I know at the place he got it, he could have a gotten a rea gold one for like a hundred which is what he was planning on spending. I was happy with the present, but I wish that he would have gone the extra mile. He wanted a guitar amp for xmas that was 30 watts whih is kind of pricey. He has more money than I do and I saved up to buy it for him. It was 200 dollars. What do u guys think.
Hey again, okay so yea here is an answer to some of ur questions. He always asks for sexual pleasures and it gets on my nerves. Yes, on V-day i do get out the lingerie. Second I just dont want him to buy me something because he feels compelled. I guess I just want v-day to be special because every other day of the week he’s busy with his school work from college. He’s such a asweetheart though.

badmin answers:

You’re not spoiled, and you’re not selfish. You’re entitled to nice gifts, even if he can’t afford expensive stuff, at least he could do is to put a little effort into that. What really bothers you is that his gifts don’t come from the heart, isn’t it?

Mary asks…

What should I get this girl for Valentine’s Day?

I have a girl who has been a good friend mine for the past couple years, and I’m trying to decide what to get her for V-day. I’m not usually the type of guy at all who would do this so it’s a tough situation. Also, we hooked up a couple times, but nothing really ever came of it so I don’t think she’s that interested in me so it all could be a waste of money, but who knows. Anyway, I would probably send it annoymously just to keep her on her toes, but does anyone have any ideas of what to get her, or whether I should get her anything at all? I thought about some flowers/roses etc, but I think that could be over doing it big time. eh any input would be appreciated i feel like a dipshit doing this.

badmin answers:

Okay, first and foremost decide if you dig her enough for a relationship or not. If the answer is yes to that then continue reading, because let’s face it, a friend with benefits isn’t worth the outrageous price of anything on V-day, period.

Now then, if you’re still reading here’s what you do. DON’T be anonymous, that will be the death of it then and there, some other dude will get the credit because her mind is going to jump to some other guy I can almost guaranty it. Also, don’t go with roses, they are old, boring the usual ho-hum. If you know what her favorite flower is go with some of those. If you don’t know what that is then go with a floral bouquet that isn’t just roses. With it a note that simply says “Thinking of you. – your name” why? Because then she’ll associate the thoughtful gift of something not stereotypical with you and that’s a plus in any girl’s brain.

If she doesn’t go for that sorta thing and wants the dozen long stemmed red roses, you don’t want that kinda high maintenance chick anyways.

Your Questions About Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas For Kids

Laura asks…

Help with Valentines Day gift for him?

I was wondering if anyone had an orginal Valentine’s Day gift ideas for my husband.

He likes video games and I was going to buy him a new PS3 with these 2 games that he was wanting, but he went ahead and bought that for himself so that is out.

He is not into sports, and he doesn’t drink. He is very picky about food items and doesn’t like alot of sweets. He is a tech type guy, but he pretty much has everything that he wants in that department. I tend to buy him things all year long and this makes it really hard, and if I haven’t bought the stuff he talks about already then he buys it.

I am going crazy trying to think of something orginal that wouldn’t be found at your local Wal-marts and places like that.

In the past I have:
bought personalized items with the family pictures on them
made his favorite meal and had a romantic night
bought video games
bought tools
The kids and I have made handmade items

I am looking for something new and different this year. Does anyone have any ideas?

Oh, and I know that the first notion that comes to most guys is a night in the bedroom. Please don’t respond with that. I am looking for something that he can have for years to come, not something that last for a short time and is done. Thank you!

badmin answers:

Why do so many women and girls make this more difficut than it is?

Do you know why he buys those things for himself all the time, instead of letting you do it? TAKE THE HINT. That’s not what he wants from you!

He’s a guy, and its Valentines Day. Its not his birthday, its not Christmas, he doesn’t want a gift. He wants sex… Some special, not-what-he-gets-everyday sex. And I bet you know exactly what that means. That’s what Valentines Day is all about. He does something romantic for you, you do something filthy for him. And maybe get him a sandwich. Men are simple creatures, even your man.

Linda asks…

What to do on Valentine’s day. My wife doesnt like gifts anymore. Any ideas?

We have 2 young kids for whom we can arrange a baby-sitter for a while, but can’t really take a long time off. Any ideas will be helpful.
One of the suggestions I received was to make love under moonlight. Terrific idea! I live in the US. Has anyone found places and good spots to do this (or rather, how do I choose discreet locations)? I know parks (and public places) are not good for this. Rocking cars invite attention (and cops). Any creative ideas would be welcome. I am sure lots of men want to please thier wives, but sometimes hit a wall, when it comes to creativity. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

badmin answers:

Hire the babysitter to take the kids out of the house a while, bring home some roses, light a few cndles, run a hot bath for your wife, and cook dinner for her. A relaxing evening at home without the worry of having to dress up, be back on time, figthing with traffic or spending excess money would be the perfect gift for me.

Chris asks…

Sour Patch Kids Gift?

My girlfriend likes the only the red Sour Patch Kids so for Valentine’s Day I was going to buy the Costco-sized Sour Patch Kids bag (2 lbs) and fish out all the red ones. But I need an idea of how to present it or make it into a small gift because obviously I am not going to just give her a Ziploc bag ;) So, any creative ideas?

(We have always agreed that we both like small, cheap, thoughtful gifts so I we never do anything too expensive/extravagant.)

Thanks

badmin answers:

You could put them in a little glass fish bowl with some swedish fish on the top then wrap a ribbon around the top with a little note that says “out of all the fish in the sea, youre the one for me.” Then she will be surprised to find the sour patch kids when she gets past the fish layer :)

You could also take out all the red sour patch kids from the big 2 lbs bags and then buy one of the little bags. Empty out the little bag and put in only red ones then close it back up with a hot glue gun. Then you can go to the movies just to buy one of those hard pop corn tubs (like not the bags) and take it home and fill it with other bags of regular candy (kisses, ring pops, movie candy… Buy it at walmart though not the movies). You can also add microwave popcorn bags, a gift card to blockbuster, or like a cute romantic movie on dvd (you could even add a little love letter inside the dvd case. The idea is just to make like a movies gift basket, and when she sees the love letter in the dvd case and the only red sour patch kids she will most likely love it!

Whatever you end up doing, remember LOVE is the best gift.

Robert asks…

Valentine’s Day for the kids?

After watching a V-day special of Jon and Kate Plus 8 last year, I decided it would be nice to do some similar activities with the kids. In the past I’ve given them special heart shaped snacks, mini gifts and such but I really want to have a whole day ‘game plan’ this year since it falls on a Saturday and all 4 kids will be home. Any ideas?

badmin answers:

Well you could always take them out to a children’s museum or to the zoo. You could also go see a movie together. Another good idea would be to bake Valentine’s treats together, like heart shaped sugar cookies and then each kid can decorate them. You can also do Valentine crafts like making cards. If you live where there is snow then go sledding and come back and have hot chocolate and some of the cookies you mad. Curl up on the couch with them and watch a movie.
Here are some craft sites:

Ruth asks…

What can I do for parent gifts for Valentine’s Day?

I am a 4-k teacher. I need a really cute craft that my kids can take home to their parents. I am first year teacher and need something that will be a total hit. I prefer ideas over websites as I have looked at a ton. Thanks!

badmin answers:

Here is a good project I saw it on the Carol Duval HGTV show. I downloaded the directions for you, but you can go to her site for a visual. We are doing these this week for Valentines day. I used Elmer’s glue and plastic glitter and construction paper. It is working out quite well. The children work in groups and the glittering is supervised carefully.
Sugared” Heart Banner
These “sugared” hearts look good enough to eat! To create banner, print this PDF onto card stock and cut out hearts. Lay the hearts on a flat, disposable surface, such as newspaper or a plastic drop cloth, and coat the patterned side with spray adhesive. While the glue is still wet, dust each heart with crystal glitter and allow to dry. Gently tap hearts to remove the excess glitter and glue them to grosgrain ribbon. The banner can be as long as you wish by adding more hearts and the hearts can be attached so the banner hangs hang either vertically or horizontally.

Paul asks…

Romantic ways to deliver roses for valentines?

I would like to do something a little different than just pulling out a bouquet from behind my back and stand there grinning and blushing like an idiot.

The problem is, Valentines is on a Sunday this year, and having a company deliver it isn’t going to be an option where I live. It’s also very hard to find something I don’t feel is gawdy… like a giant $60 bouquet.

So, I’m looking for a way for her to find them as a surprise, and at the same time not be creepy about it. I was thinking leave them on her doorstep, but I think the rose will wilt in the cold. We have only gone on a few dates so I want to do something romantic, cute, and not be too over bearing about it.

Any Idea’s?

badmin answers:

Women appreciate it when they know that the man has made an effort.
It all very nice having some company deliver the flowers BUT we see that as you just paying the company and not actually doing anything.
Try something like romantic clues around the house, like a treasure hunt. Something that you actually have to make an effort to pull off. Hope it all goes ok!:)x

Donna asks…

roses for guys on valentines day?

there’s this guy i went out on a date with about a week ago. we see each other at school and it was kinda awkward at first. i like him a lot but his friend told me that he’s the kinda guy that gets cloe to a girl but never goes through with it. at my school, we can get roses delivered to people on valentines day while in class. i sent him one that said: i was trying to think of the funniest/most embarassing thing to give a guy in his german class. this is it. XO. i thought it was funny/cute at first…and my friends agreed. but from what his friend told me, i’m afraid it’ll only push him away further.
advice?
awesome answers you guys.

badmin answers:

I got rose’s once. I was working as a bartender in a very busy nightclub. I was teased all night, SO I was embarrassed and flatered. It was a totally cool thing. I couldnt let my guy’s friends know though.

Your Questions About Valentine’s Day Flowers Deals

Jenny asks…

Question regarding Valentine’s day?

I sent a girl that I like flowers today for Valentine’s day, but the flower company messed up on spelling her last name. Do you think its a big deal? Thank you for your answers!

badmin answers:

Some times it matters, depending on how familiar you are with this girl. Because if you’re not familiar, maybe she will blame this on you.

Robert asks…

Moms of girls, do your daughters get flowers from their dad on Valentine’s Day?

My husband got both our girls a dozen and my 2 year old has been sitting for over an hour with hers (still in the plastic sleeve) next to her on the couch with her arm around them, leaning over every once in awhile to smell them and “ahhhh” lol

PQ: When your kids are old enough to actually date and have a legit girlfriend/boyfriend, will you help pay for dates or is it more of a “if you want a bf/gf you have to work for the money to go out” deal?
Yeah Olivia my husband must love them more then I do, I guess…..*eye roll*

badmin answers:

I have two sons who hijacked my Valentine’s day balloons this morning, but as a young girl I remember my dad always bought me and my two sisters tiny boxes of candy on V-day.

Linda asks…

Why Is Valentine’s Day such a big deal?

Its supposed to be a day of romantic expression of love, yet if you’re in a relationship, romantic expressions are shared most everyday. So is it nothing more then a retailers dream? Look at the money spent for flowers…which die within a week, chocolates….which lets face it a lot of people really dont need, lingerie….ladies you should have pretty lingerie anytime without an holiday excuse. All in all it just seems like a scheme to get people to spend more money.
Opinions please?
rkeith03……you shouldnt need Vday as an excuse to get laid lmao
Jennifer….lonely and bitter is in my opinion the people..nay…women who seek out men to buy them flowers and gifts one day of the year….Love should be shown in a relationship all year long adn if you need the holiday as an excuse for romance maybe you are with the wrong person.

badmin answers:

It is a commercially created holiday that has brainwashed men over the last 100 years that they have to spend lots of money on their wives and/or girlfriends on that day. It is a good example of the power commercialism, which is secondary only to Christmas. Now they are working on Easter.

Lizzie asks…

HE SAID VALENTINE’S DAY WAS STUPID?

My boyfriend has surprised me with flowers and dinner for Valentine’s Day the last 2 years. I knew he didn’t really like V-Day, so I never pressured him or anything about it, and never expected him to do anything, hence why I was always surprised.

Again this year he hasn’t mentioned tomorrow or anything at all (he does that every year.) I mentioned on Friday that I had a present for him this year for Valentine’s Day, and he said “Oh, for that stupid corporate holiday? That’s cool.”

Why would he say that and buy me flowers anyway? Is he trying to get me to think he isn’t getting me anything, but will surprise me anyway, or did he only do those things in the past just to shut me up or that he felt obligated?

Should I prepare to be disappointed? I know Valentine’s Day isn’t a huge deal, but every girl secretly loves it. I’m not sure what to think :(
I’m 24, he’s 29, if it matters.

badmin answers:

Sweetie, if he does this every year he’s probably just trying to throw you off. He might also be joking. Just don’t put too much thought into it, he obviously cares about you if he doesn’t like the holiday but still indulges your liking for it. Sit back and enjoy it :)

Carol asks…

Sent her flowers for V-Day but now she has a boyfriend!?!?!?!?

I have known this girl forever and I’m absolutely in love with her. She knows I love her and sometimes she feels the same way so we have been very close one and off. But recently we haven’t seen each other or talked much because all of our classes (Wwe’re in college) so I decided that I would send her flowers and things for Valentine’s Day. So I made a custom order of everything she likes back in early January. Then, the day before classes, she went out with a guy that we’ve both known for a while but she hadn’t seen in months. I figured it was nothing, but the next morning I work up to find out that they were a couple. It definitely hurts that I kind of got played, but I can deal with that. My real question is what do I do about the flowers. I tried to cancel them but the company said that custom orders are difficult to cancel. I know her boyfriend will get upset and I think she will be a little upset too (Maybe thinking I’m trying to break them up.) What do I do? Help!

badmin answers:

If you can’t cancel the order, change the address so they don’t go to her. Keep them or give them to your mother.

Your Questions About Flowers For Valentines

Robert asks…

How to send Valentines Flowers to Vietnam?

I wonder any additional charge for sending flowers to Vietnam during Valentine’s Day.

badmin answers:

I believe just small fee added during this even, anywhere, not only in Vietnam. If you order several days in advance, the price should be the same as in normal days. But it’s never an issues since it is Valentine’s Day. Beautiful flowers to your sweetheart is most important

James asks…

Is it lame to give a guy flowers for valentines?

I have a notion that he is sending me flowers just by hints he has been dropping. and my friend and i are dating guys who are best friends also so we were going to drop a flower off at each of their houses. is that lame? just as something little to do on valentines day. and if we should do it what kind of flower?

badmin answers:

Girls like flowers because they’re pretty and romantic. I don’t think guys like them too. Chocolates are much better.

Sandra asks…

What is the best place to buy flowers for Valentines Day?

I would like to order my girlfriend flowers to her job. Please fill me in on the best deals!

badmin answers:

You can go online to different florists. I feel this is expensive. Go to your local florist. There you can explain what you want and your budget..it’s person to person and you will get a great valentine’s flowers for your girl friend. Good for you and your girlfriend will feel good too.

Chris asks…

Is it appropriate to give a girl that has a boyfriend, flowers for valentines?

Well, as we all know valentines day is coming around.
I would like to give this girl I like pink roses (not red though).
But the thing is, we aren’t dating or anything and at the same time.she has a boyfriend (long distance boyfriend), but I like her. Sigh
we have been talking for about 3-4 months now, but I really don’t know if its appropriate to give a girl that you like, but not dating flowers! Ladies. Any comments on what I should do?

badmin answers:

Maybe if you put in a card “to my fav. Friend” or something like that.

If she has a bf and you send her flowers on valentines day 3 things might happen

34% – she’ll be sad or pissed cause she might like you only as a friend and then once you open those can of worms your friendship might take a turn for a worse

64% – she’ll view it as thoughtful gift from a friend and say thanks

2% – she’ll love it and start thinking about you as a potential bf seeing hers is miles away.

Its a big risk just stick the friend card and thats it. She has a bf, let her make the move

Thomas asks…

Is it wrong to give a guy flowers for Valentines Day?

I wanna give my boyfriend flowers but I don’t know if that’s acceptable or not. If so what kind of Flower should I get him? Would roses be appropriate?

badmin answers:

It’s not wrong but guys may have a different feeling for flowers than women do. The cheapest and most romantic gift you could offer is a nice poem sealed in a fancy envelop. You may customize it to fit his name or what he likes. That’s very unique and will last more than all the flowers than most people will buy this time around. Good luck.
