what to get

LegacyUser

Would a friend think it a lil' weird if I bought them a valentines day present?
Was thinking about just getting something small, but Im pretty sure it would come across a lilttle weird!

If the friend is in a relationship then DO NOT get them a Valentine's Day present.

PS A box of Roses is OK, just make sure you buy enough boxes for everyone.

I wouldn't normally get a friend anything, maybe a box of chocolates to share. Win win.

ok, ok neeed advice

I think since I met this friend I am actually falling in love with them!

So getting them a present may end up being the best thing ive ever done, or might ruin a firendship!!!

Victor, bouncing this one back over as it seems to be becoming more of a personal issue now (RE: Post #5), send it back if you still feel its not relevant.

I think its more about should they buy the person a present, as opposed to what to buy the person.

Heyes

Do you know if they could feel the same ?

Well if it was me I would take the following course of action:

1. Lock up all bunnies
2. Hide all saucepans

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?:rolleyes: (:eek: )

It is not a good idea. AT ALL. Valentines is for lovers. You are mates. Don't go there. Seriously.

Seconded!!!

I would think it VERY weird, unless the two of ye have been flirting etc & both know the other is keen.
Then yes, maybe it could be the ice breaker.
But if you're just pals & this comes out of the blue, I'd be running for the hills if I was your mate.

If the friend is the male, then no, don't get anything.
Most fella's (in my opinion) think Valentines is twee

If confused do nothing

disregard my first post entirely, ive lied to myself long enough, i am in love!

and I think it could be mutual, but i am TERRIBLE at trying to figure out what women are thinking (to the point i dont try anymore)
But cant ask her cause i might be wrong, and then the friendship could get screwed up! and cause im the guy (and i know her well enough to know this) she expects the guy to do the chasing! but what if i am wrong? theres gotta be a way of finding out if its safe to pursue this or not

seriously though disregard my first post - i was living in denile

any advice? i will see her again at least twice before valentines day

Well it depends...

On one hand it could backfire horribly.

On the other, if u have the impression they like you, but ye have been side-stepping the issue, then maybe it's just the thing you need to break the ice and get things going.
Could be the best thing you ever did in that case.
(Being in a similar situation myself I'd love if something like that happened, but I've already missed the boat methinks)

I probably wouldn't go so far as a present, but maybe a not-so-anonymous card or something? (i.e. they might be able to figure out it's from you, by a process of elimination, but they're still not 100% sure?)
That would only work if they have some idea you might be interested though.

hmmm why does life have to be so complicated

I honestly wouldn't get her a gift. Why don't you suggest that you spend Valentines evening together seeing as you are both single and suggest going for a few drinks to bemoan the fact your both single (;) )

How about getting someone to post her a card from another area? That way she will know someone is interested in her, but not who!

I did it a few yrs ago in the UK, I even got someone from Japan to send back a valentine card, took a bit of forward planning though!

if ya wanna declare you love, tis the best time to do it, just don't half do it in that case, i'm talking ten things i hate about you style, tux, stadium, microphone, and can't take my eyes of you kareoke style, or a nice card and teddy with ones feelings written inside ( the card not the teddy, in the teddy is a bit weird, unless she likes that...then go for the teddy thing):D

In fact this is a great idea!

I'll second Miss Fluff's idea.

Do NOT get her a present.

Skip the present. Is there something you both really like? Music? Theatre? Ballet? Film? Sports? "Hey! I've got these grand tickets and knew you liked (whatever) too! Want to go? Oh, we could get a bite on the way, too..."
