    Screw restaurants on that day. Do the cooking yourself and show what's up.

    I'm taking the lady to either Wendy's or Benihana. Her choice.

    In lieu of cards and candy, I just get three tables dances, she's happy and I'm happy.

    Better yet, have her do it. When she complains, tell her, "OK, now slip off your shoes so we can get to the other half of barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen."

    Wait, aren't we talking about the day that pitchers and catchers report?

    So, figured I'd update with the plans, because SJ-nation has been waiting on pins and needles:

    We're going to head out to an up-scale outdoor mall place that's having a special day -- ice carving competitions/races, free movies, free samples of chocolate, then heading home for dinner.
    Been busting my tail last night and today to get as much prepped before hand as possible, so we'll just have to slide things in the oven when we get back home.
    The menu:
    Toasted french bread topped with a cream cheese/salsa spread and some fresh basil as an appetizer
    A salad, mashed potatoes and stuffed pork tenderloin for dinner (a raspberry marinade, stuffed with cheese, roasted almond pieces and slivers of pineapple).
    Mint Oreos (one of her faves) dipped in chocolate for desert.

    I feel like it's a solid plan, as long as I don't screw up the cooking :)

    Dude, can I come over for dinner? I'll even pleasure your girlfriend if you don't want to. That meal sounds delicious.

    It should be great if I don't screw it up -- worried about cooking the pork too long.

    I think I can handle the duties with my gf myself, though. I appreciate the thought.

    Those were exactly my thoughts.

    Then again, I have no room to talk. My valentine doesn't need flowers or a fancy meal ... just an air pump and some TreyLC.

    Oh, just get a fancy carrying case for your fleshlight; that should suffice.

    Valentine's Day... should be great opportunity.

    Three consecutive years in college, I would dump my girlfriend on February 11 or 12, just so that a) I wouldn't have to buy her anything and b) I'd get to go out to the bars on February 14.

    Going out to a bar on Valentine's Day is the easiest day of the year. You'll pick up more rebounds than Michael Cage.

    No stupid lines or stories needed.

    Two of those three years, I got back together with the dumped girlfriend on the 17th or 18th. But, ah, those Valentine's nights were magical.
