Valentines Day Panic: Save my relationship

Damn the OP's girlfriend sounds shallow. "You'd better take me out"

Me and my wonderful wife don't fall into the comercial trap of Valentines Day. We do romantic things on other days as a surprise. I always get asked when buying flowers "Oh what have you done wrong?" Nowt love now give me the change.

Sure I may get her a card I'm not totally stupid but
that's all.
 
It's sorted :D Pulled in a favour from a friend - got a table for two booked at a nice restaurant in the middle of the city :)

And yep, she is shallow. I'll dump her as soon as the meals over. :D

Yes, I've left it late. Far, far too late.

Every restaurant I've tried (around 15) are fully booked, with the only half decent one having a single table available at 10.30PM.

I've even tried the theatre, there's four seats available, spread out throughout the whole venue.

I'm in Sheffield by the way. Has anyone any recommendations for restaurants? Or something else that can replace a restaurant?

HELP! :p :(

what does she like?

Do something stupid like in all those RomComs, get some blankets umbrellas decent food and booze and radio/musicin the boot find the most scenic beach or spot you can (get some suggestions and then take some drives an walks alone to check em out) find the best place and take her our for some seculded picnic.

or if you know she wont like that, try to remember any strange whim she once said she'd like to induldge and do it.
 
Best way to cheer her up on that day is to do something unexpected and nice that you know she would like (depending on how long you have been together) It could be something really small that she just won't expect and all is well ;)
 
How about cook for your missus?

Or.... convince her that valentines are invented by evil corporations and it's too commerical. You and her as higher beings shall never celebrate such foul day

Because it gives a bit of justification. a lot of people might like to make romantic gestures etc at times but be worried how the other peron would perceve it (ie coming on too strong, just a bit weird etc) it may just be in thier head but a oliday just for thease types of things gives tem a green light to try it, if only in thier minds.

Why not?

I have a very hectic calendar and so does my girlfriend... valentines day (be it right or wrong) just gives us some respite...

Granted theres no stopping us doing whatever we had planned any other time of the year, but I work by a calendar so there we go.

I used to think valentines day was a waste of time and energy but I was single... I now enjoy it ;)
 
I can't think what the name of the place is, but there's a great little restaurant in the Devonshire quarter just by the Bedroom & Bears pub that is usually quite empty - although that might have changed for Valentine's Day as it's quite a nice cozy place!

You'd better.

Any woman who demands the pair of you go to a restaurant rather than you spend the day slaving over a meal for her isn't worth much more than a punch in the face.

Unless you're a total mongoloid.
 
la tasca on eccesall road said they still had availability at about 10pm when i went the other day to confirm my booking, give them a ring maybe ?

I just really dont get it. My brother and his missus have been having huge rows because the 6 nations England game is on at half 5 on Saturday night, and he wants to watch it. Any other time she'd be like "Yeah course you can" but because its Valentines, shes turned into this she-devil demanding he miss the rugby and take her out "because of what day it is!" What like its a Saturday?

I would much rather someone made a fuss of me and took me out for a nice dinner because they wanted to, rather than because someone decided thats the day you have to show someone you care.

I'm lucky my other half happens to like rugby :)

Come on Wales! ;)
 
Why is it your problem? What's she doing for you...
Valentines day is just more ammo for women to use against us ;) I say we turn the tables! Nobody do anything then when they complain say "Well I thought you might make some effort for a change!!" :p
