going out to a restaurant on valentines day is stupid as a first date. but having a one on one thing wouldnt be a bad idea. he could do take out and a movie at his place (if he has his own community space)

i think a gift may be a little pre mature considering they have not been on a single date with each other.

1) 26 and 23
2) They met through a friend a while back but have just recently started talking
3) They live in different towns so it's been mainly just hanging out with each others friends. They have spent the night with each other but he says they haven't hooked up.
4) He was hanging with this one chick but since this girl has come along he cut her loose. That's how I know he really likes her.

He's thinking about sending flowers to her work cause they won't be able to be together on VDay. Too much?


Better hope she's really into him because this is totally handing over the upper hand.

he should invite her back over and do something low key like grill with a bottle of wine and maybe get her a small thing like flowers or something little

He won't be able to see her VDay cause he'll be at work. That's why he is wanting to send her something.

flowers with a card that says i cant wait to see you again would be enough, i think.

Yep, something low key is the best way to go.

this changes things. You made it sound like they have been dating for 3 weeks.

he shouldn't get her anything. especially if he isn't going to see her on Valentine's day.

something small. mix flowers. something colorful.

and, he should have her over and do the one on one date thing next time she can.

dude im hanging out with is in another city. we did vday yesteday. he got me a little something. it wasnt big, but the gesture was greatly appreciated. if she's not a spoiled count, she will appreciate a small gesture.

My now husband and I started dating late January our junior year of college, so a few weeks into dating we were in Vday purgatory because you don't want to not care, but you don't want to come off too strong. We ended up renting a movie and ordering in Chinese takeout, and 7 years later that's what we do every Valentine's Day and I love it.

I'd say if anything, just get her some flowers and call it a day. If you want to incorporate food, pick up a couple of steaks at the grocery store and cook together at home.

They have future plans like going to some concerts and dates so he says that validates his reasoning to get a gift. He says he also wants to show that he likes her. I told him to just ride it out and show her he likes her when they go on the dates. He thinks sending flowers will help better his chances of success in the long run.

he is right. and, if it can be something meaningful that he knows she likes, that would be even better. if her fav color is purple, get her purple flowers. etc
