What are you and your significant other doing for Valentines Day?
Any gifts?
To start off,
My girlfriend of over a year has something planned for me (I believe she is going to try and take me somewhere)
I, however, purchased her a coffee mug with her favorite TV show character (Daemon Salvatore from "The Vampire Diaries") printed on it (Vampire Diaries "Damon" Mug: WBshop.com - The Official Online Store of Warner Bros. Studios (http://www.wbshop.com/Vampire-Diaries-Damon-Mug/VDEZPMUGDAM,default,pd.html?cgid=vdvday)). I will be purchasing some lingerie for her tomorrow, as well as ordering some roses. I will also make my own card.
We have Friday as our day to celebrate V-Day (conflicts with school and work on Monday). But, I will be giving her the roses on Monday (surprise at school).
So far those are whats set and stone for my plans, still debating on the dinner :)
What are your plans for V-Day?

I am also trying to figure something out.
Our one year anniversary is this week and with Valentine's day next week, I figured she prob. shouldn't get a double whammy. Haha.
I am taking her out to a very nice Steakhouse out here for our one year. I think I will be working on Valentine's day anyways so I will go ahead and send her some roses.
I did end up making her a valentine's day card/anniversary one. It's pretty cool. Also got her some earrings from Tiffany.
Figured I spent a hefty amount already so that's what she gets.

This will sound SO weird, but we have been together for about 2 and a half years.
Every year around Valentines is when the circus comes to town here.
So THAT is our Valentines "date" every year, 3 years running.

i WANT to do something on the 12th only since that's our 'month'iversary and with the 14th being a monday that totally sucks with work/school.
that being said, i do plan on taking my girlfriend to this awesome (in my opinion) restaurant in the city. which one, i don't know yet (haha) but i know that the wait time is going to be like 5 hours. roses + card are mandatory obviously.

Since I'm broke and neither my gf and I have time to spend together on a Monday, she works during the day and I have class at night, I will just make her a V-day card and whatever budget stuff I can make from scratch.

I absolutely hate going out on Valentines day.
IF you can even get into a restaurant, they usually have limited menus and the service is fucking terrible. Not to mention all of the crazies that are out and about, and I really dont want to see a bunch of 18 year olds making out at their dinner tables.
With that being said, my girl and I usually stay in and make a nice dinner ourselves. Its nice to have a few drinks, chill out, and just be alone. Cooking is a pretty fun way to interact and have a good time, and then we can actually have a good meal in a nice environment thats usually far more enjoyable and romantic than going out to a restaurant.

Made dinner for an ex a few years back, maybe time for a repeat. Bought a fancy folding table, chairs, etc and planned on having dinner in this park overlooking DT Seattle, but was raining so it was in the living room :(
-King Salmon with Bento sauce
-Homemade hummus
-From scratch chocolate cake with from scratch Mocha buttercream frosting. The cake took 3 hours to make. I say go big or go home, dinner at home is way more romantic than going to some steakhouse

take her to NINJA or jeckyll and hyde. nyc has some really cool themed restaurants. i took my gf to ninja last year and we both loved it.
anyway my gf didnt really like v-day but our 1.5 year anniversary is on the 12th also so we're going to this cool little place i found in nj called archetypus. gift wise im just gonna get her some flowers. ill try and differ from the typical red roses

Well my GF and I are cool about Valentines Day, she's taking me out to this restaurant some where in the city. I got her some flowers that are being delivered tomorrow. And I also got her something from Tiffany & Co.
Tomorrow because her cousin is coming over for the weekend and they're going to have girl time together; which I don't mind. But Sunday we're going out. Glad that the day is almost here. It's not even over yet, our Birthday's are both in March.

Just bought the lingerie for my gf today, damn $75 didn't think it was going to be THAT much. Oh well, in the long run it will be worth it :)
Also bought her some pens I found that she was looking for. Turned out those were $4.99 a piece! For a little Japanese pen, "Rilakkuma" pens. I was about to order roses off of ProFlowers, but they wanted a grand total of like $63, screw that I'm going to go buy a dozen for like $20 or less and show up at her house before class on Monday!

My gf and I are going out to a nicer seafood tasting dinner on Fri to avoid some of the crowds.
Sat, we will go on a day-trip maybe in Huntington Library & gardens in Pasadena, CA.
Mon just isn't practical for any sort of celebration for us with work & school.

More than likely taking my girlfriend out to dinner at our favorite Japanese BBQ place. Shit is expensive as hell, but so worth it.
Not really one to buy her presents and such for Valentines day. I save the real presents for birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas. Bought her a diamond necklace for Christmas. Took her to Vegas on her Birthday.
I've been with her for 6+ years now. We both decided to keep things simple a long time ago. I never listen though. So, my presents always end up costing several hundred dollars. Haha.

Gyu Kaku isn't that expensive.
If you do their 'All You Can Eat' lunch menu, that's their best deal.
Not every branch offers this, so you have to check on their site.
I like the Pasadena (socal) branch "Big Value" lunch menu for $26/person
http://www.gyu-kaku.com/menu/ca_pd/pd_ayce.pdf
If you want 'expensive' Japanese BBQ, that would be Totoraku in West LA.
$100-$200/head, it's NOT AYCE.
Good luck with getting a reservation too.
Been here once a few years ago, and it totally blows Gyu Kaku or any other J-BBQ place away.

Ohh it is when you go twice every other week not just getting food but cocktails as well. i usually order the geisha plate. I have TRIED the lunch menu but the rancho location gets wayyyy overcrowded. Totoraku i have been with my manager for our employee dinner. I agree with blowing kaku out of shore. Reeeeall good!

Nah, I was referring to Tsuruhashi.
Last time we were there, bill came out to be above $200.
I have seen Gyu Kaku though. Might try it out sometime next month with a friend of mine.

Totoraku - West Los Angeles - Los Angeles, CA (http://www.yelp.com/biz/totoraku-los-angeles)
Sheesh. That's pretty pricey. Definitely worth trying though.

You might as well cut your balls off if your going to that.
Dont be the guy at Vagina Monologes, Lilith Fair, Margaret Cho, or any other demasculating events.
Getting her a I phone or Black Berry, which ever one we decide when she is there. Prolly a movie, bike ride, or a hike.
We do have our Universal passes and live downt he road from there.
Most likely stay in and make food and hang out.
maybe let her sleep in for awhile, or maybe go get her up now, lol.

Gyu Kaku is good...small portions but very good quality.
Didn't do much this year...girly had a rough day and wanted to relax at home and read so I surprised her with some killer roses and the most expensive heart shaped box of candy i could find...oh, and a card with a message in it...she was happy. Simple things work well.

Tsuruhashi is great, but it can get pricey if you work up an appetite.
I loved their beef tongue, their raw beef dish, and how they open a little later.
It's nice to live close to the Torrance area, as they have some of the best & most authentic Japanese food in the US.
You'll probably not be impressed with Gyu-Kyaku aside from their AYCE value if you're used to Tsuruhashi.
Gyu Kaku is good...small portions but very good quality.
.
That's why I think it's a good idea to avoid their 'a la carte menu', and shoot for their 'all you can eat' lunches.
If you're paying that price, I would suggest trying out Tsuruhashi or some of the other nicer J-BBQ places.
