My wife and i don't and we stopped while we were dating. We go to a nice diner and exchange a card with each other. We don't see the day as being that important compared to our aniversary or something

It's so over rated anyway. I've been married 10 years and every once in a while we will exchange a small gift. I would rather get something for our anniversary....or save that money for a trip somewhere! It's not a big deal anymore. I agree with you.

You dont have to give gifts, but wen it is valentines day, give her a big kiss.
10. Flirting is an attitude:
A good flirt is self-confident and not afraid to take risks.
Be enthusiastic and positive, it works!
9. Start a conversation:
The best opening line is saying hello.
Talk about the surroundings, ask a question, ask for help, state an opinion.
8. Have fun:
Be playful, light-hearted and spontaneous.
Show your vulnerability.
7. Use props:
Never leave home without a prop.
Props are natural conversation starters. They encourage conversation and others will be compelled to start talking to you.
Great props include: dogs, kids, unusual jewelry, a irresistable scent, a sweatshirt with your favorite passion, interesting ties, hats, or an interesting book or newspaper.
6. Be the host:
Change your behavior from the role of guest to host.
You are not the passive person in waiting, but rather the welcome committee.
5. Make the first move: Move closer to the person you want to meet.
Say hello!
4. Listen:
You have two ears and one mouth because you should listen twice as much as you speak.
Listening is a true art. Your flirting partner will be drawn to you.
Everyone loves to be heard.
3. Eye contact:
Make eye contact, but please look your partner in the eye gently (no more than 2-4 seconds) and then glance away.
Don�t stare � it�s a turn off.
2. Compliment:
Compliment your flirting partner. The best compliments have the element of surprise.
The "flirtee" will know that you really noticed them.
Remember, your compliments must be honest, sincere and genuine.
When you receive a compliment the best response is merely, Thank You!
1. Smile:
It is contagious.
It will make you so much more approachable.
A smile lights up your face and draws people to you. You will be a people magnet.

Sometimes we use Valentine's Day as an excuse to buy each other something we've been eyeing for awhile. Otherwise, no, we just plan a nice dinner together, maybe a movie. If there's a gift it's something small, like a flower or tiny chocolates.

I think as long as the two of you talk about it and you feel like you know what times are important to her, then who cares what other people do? However, my hubby continually suprises me, after we have agreed that a certain holiday isn't that important....and I LOVE that he does that. So, I guess it's your call. Don't you want to make her feel REALLY special? Maybe Vday isn't the time, maybe just pick a random day and surprise her with something really romantic, just 'cause.

We decided this year not to do the V-Day exchange either. We have pretty much bought every card that's possible for each other. So instead, he promised he would take me bowling that day. Corny, but I just wanted to do something together. :)

I've been with my bf for 6 years now, and we still do, or should I say that I do, and he gives up his mandatory offerings to the goddess to prevent his beheading. Our anniversary is 3 days before Valentine's Day, so we usually do somthing big as a combination celebration of the two.

Some of have even matured beyond fighting for dinner reservations and supporting the Hallmark shareholders.
Every day of our lives are special, you did need a stinking card to signify that you appreacate the person you are with.

A gift is not exclusively something in a box. A nice evening together, and/or a card carefully chosen for your mate - both of these are wonderful gifts!

My husband and I stopped once we had our son. We have too much else going on to worry about giving gifts. We focus on birthdays, Christmas, and our anniversary as well. Valentines Day is such a pathetic day to exchange gifts. Why not CELEBRATE your annivesary instead?
