Valentines Day Panic: Save my relationship

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.

If you need a day to justify it then that makes it a bit weird anyway, just my opinion of course. If someone did something that was OTT it wouldn't matter what day it was on, coming on too strong is coming on too strong. If couples want to enjoy it I'm not going to stop them though.

Though people demanding things like the OPs lady... that just completely sucks all the romance out of it. I've heard quite a few guys saying they are doing things to keep their other halves happy otherwise they will never hear the end of it, they aren't doing it becuase they want to. Seriously what is that all about? That above all else is what I don't get.

It keeps them quiet, all you really want is a bit of peace. I'd rather go out for a pint on Saturday, instead it'll be flowers and a day of the weekend down the pan.

It would still be meaningless to me if they hadnt done it because they wanted to.
I'd rather they did nothing if it was because they just wanted "a bit of peace and quiet."
 
It's just another day though, one with hyper inflated card/chocolate prices where you're expected to buy gifts.
Valentines Day is the worst "occasion" on the calendar.

Then that just says to me that there are thousands of unromantic men out there, who will only do something like buy some flowers or take their good lady for a meal when Valentines day tells them to, and not because they think something like that would be a nice gesture.

Their ladies just cling to the fact that there might be some hope of romance on one day in the year, when really the men could make it much easier for themselves by doing little things at any random time throughout the year.

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 :(

At least you still have a gf (well until the day comes if you don't find somewhere:D), I think me and mine have just amicably broken up. Oh well saved me a couple of hundred quid or so :p
 
Tell her that your love shouldnt be shown on just one night.

All restauraunts up the prices, restrict the menu, cram the tables in and get you out ASAP. How romantic! Cant stand restauraunts on Valentines.

Apologise you couldnt get a booking and tell her you will go out the day after instead. Have a nice meal with a nice bottle of wine at home.

Remember that Valantines day is just a marketing ploy for retailers. Simple.

edit - No im not single and my missus agrees wholeheartedly to the above :)
