To ask what you're doing for Valentines?

[bartelbyfinnegan]

I am a bit of a romantic at heart but my partner, unfortunately, isn't (although he'd insist he is because he bought me flowers once )
His idea of a date night whether pandemic or not is a takeaway and a film, but we do that ALOT and I'd like it if we did something a bit different if possible.

Pre crazy covid times it would usually be me who'd book/ arrange something but obviously, we won't be going out to celebrate this year. We don't usually go crazy, just maybe a small cute/ funny gift and a "date night" (not on actual V day as it's always overpriced ) but I like to do something and I'd love it even more if he put the effort in for once

I have mentioned a couple of times to my OH that maybe he could light some candles/ cook for a change and we could have a romantic meal-out-but-in type thing, but I imagine he'll completely forget and then order a takeaway so I was just hoping to hear others' ideas on how to have a romantic lockdown Valentines?

Do your OH's spoil you? Do you have plans? If so what are they?

Thanks

We won’t be doing anything and I do t remember that we ever have, maybe our first year together. It is DH’s birthday next month and I am going to get a meal delivered from one of the nice restaurants that are currently doing deliveries.

The M&S valentines dine in for two was good last year so will probably go for that again.

My dh is not romantic in the slightest. I've bought a nice bar of chocolate to stash away and I'll buy myself some flowers.

I love cooking and usually cook us a really nice 3 course meal, my dh pissed me off yesterday and left me feeling unappreciated so right now I might just make the 3 course meal for myself, although I'm sure I'll be put of my mood by lunchtime 😂

I've ordered a Rick Stein at home three course meal. Been wanting to try it and Valentine's seemed like a good opportunity. I think it is a.sunday so we'll likely have a walk first, probably just us two as it's getting harder and harder to get the kids outside.

Haha, hopefully you'll have made up by then!

I love cooking too but I do all the cooking every day and I'd love it if he'd go to the effort of cooking for me every now and then. I'd appreciate beans on toast if he stuck a candle on the table and told me to get dressed up 😂

He has cooked for me a handful of times but only when I've asked him to. I think I fantasise about him doing something off his own back for once

@bartelbyfinnegan my husband is a rubbish cook, my desire for a special tasty meal trumps my desire for my husband to make the (hopeless) effort and cook 😂

I'll get DH a rude card, he'll do the same for and maybe some flowers then probably a takeaway and possibly even a shag if we can be bothered

@Peanutbutterblood haha! On the few occasions my OH has cooked, it's been edible!
I wouldn't say he's the greatest cook, but it certainly wasn't terrible.
I make tasty meals every day, I'm craving effort and romance 😂
