I'm a guy. I explain guy things for you.
Valentines Day, like many holidays, is performance event. Many of these performance events exist. Just about every "Date" is one. Meeting parents. Anniversaries. Birthdays. Why do I call them "performance events?"
Simple. Girls like it when we perform. They like gifts, they like it when we put on our little monkey suits and dance for their pleasure. We don't particularly, but we do it anyway. Why? Because Girls Like it, and we like Girls!
Sound oversimplified? It is, but not by much. I'm not just talking about "liking girls" in a "we wanna get our rocks off" kinda sense, either. The point is, Ladies... Your guy wants *you*. He doesn't care about "stuff" so much. He goes through all that song and dance, all the gifts, the dinners, the "acting civilized", etc.. to get YOU. Maybe some guys are just "to get you in the sack", but a lot of us are in for more than that.
99% of all men have never given a damn about cutesy, kitchy "Stuff".. We don't care about cards, fancy candy, flowers, etc. What we care about is making sure you're happy with us, that we have performed our monkey dance adequately, and that the "relationship" is going in a suitably positive direction.. one where we "have you."
Sometimes it's testosterone driven, sometimes it's not.. but one way or another, WHAT WE WANT is sitting across the table from us, or next to us on the couch. That's why we bother with holidays at all. Because the women in our lives value them, and we value the women in our lives.
Ladies, Dinner's fine.. we like good food. It's practical, and enjoyable. If you *insist* on gifts of stuff, give your fella something he personally finds useful, or enjoyable.. a case of his favorite beer, some kind of tool widget, some component for one of his hobbies or interests, or a gift certificate to someplace that sells such.. But honestly.. We don't generally care about "Stuff".. and romance, to those of us who are interested in it, isn't about *stuff".. it's about the performance.
So show your man you appreciate his performance, and he'll be quite happy. That's what guys want, to know their labors are valued, and that "things are good" where we want them to be.

I agree with dazed_'s answer. I have also been married for 3 years and my husband would much prefer having me for Valentines Day over flowers or teddy bears and such. A good dinner is great, but I say lose the flowers

If you want a boyfriend so bad, then I highly recommend following this https://biturl.im/aU06f Since you've never dated or been kissed before, it's going to be hard to get a boyfriend if you don't know what to do but once you know what to do, you'll be able to get a boyfriend pretty easily and can share your dating stories with your friends and experience those feelings yourself. You'll even be able to attract guys you might feel is out of your league. I suggest going on a bunch of dates before choosing one guy to be your boyfriend. Have fun.

Guys usually do not care about flowers and all that. I have been married for 3 years and with my man for 4.
He would rather me buy a nightie and knock his socks off *wink wink* if you know what I mean then anything else.
Guys are just different then women.
Your the best present you can give. Go get a nightie and practice a sexy dance, it will be perfect! (dinner sounds good too men love to eat)

FOOOD! i always cook/bake for my bf and he absolutely loves it. they always say the way to a guys heart is through is stomach. last year i baked vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting (his fav) then i got food coloring and made the icing red! he absolutely loved it! this year im making heart shaped sugar cookies, and maybe a romantic dinner. also i made my bf a card, and a scrapbook. i feel as though valentines day is time to show concern for the other not how much money but how much time is spent on that person. homemade cute romantic gifts are the best way to go!

Girls, guys are not into material things like girls are. We are different. We do not work the same way. We have different operating system. Please get that through your head.
That being said, dinner is a very good choice. Man are simple beings. Agod diner is an excelent gift. Remember is valentines day not x-mas or his birthday. Optionally you could get naked andput a little bow anywhee on your body. That wil work 1,000,000,000 better than anything else you could possibly buy at any store.

One thing I did was I got him a Buffalo Wild Wings Gift Card along with his other presents and wrote…"I didn't know what to get you, so I figured I would just WING it"

Hey this year I do not know what to get my sweetheart since I pretty much have gotten him everything since we have been together for a while already. If your man likes sports he will definatly like tickets to go watch his favorite basketball, or baseball team. I know last year I got my boyfriend tickets to see his favorite basketball team and he loved it!

Hun, I think most of the guys have pretty much said it, Make him that dinner (steak always wins their hearts!) and then throw on something cute and tiny! Give him you for dessert, he'll love it.
