“At different times during the work day I was surprised with deliveries ranging from roses to balloon arrangements. Then going home after work, I had found a rose attached to the front door with a note telling me to go relax in the tub. I found a candle lit bathroom and hot water with rose petals floating. (Petals were on the bed as well.) Turned out to be a most romantic Valentine’s.” -Karla
“It would have to be the year my boyfriend took me out and surprised me. The restaurant we ended up at was the same one I had told my girlfriend about 6 months prior. After a luxurious dinner he took me to Griffith Park Observatory to watch the stars and gave me a beautiful watch and robe. After that he took me home and the next morning he sneaked into my house and gave me breakfast in bed.” -Melissa
“Mine was when I used to work nights and my boyfriend worked days. I came home that morning and went straight to bed and was woken up by him with a dozen yellow roses and a box of chocolates. I was really surprised. But not as surprised as I was the rest of the day. After lunch, I had a delivery from the flower shop with another dozen roses, but this time they were red! And I received a teddy bear. Then that evening he picked me up and told me we were going to have a romantic evening and dinner. He took me to his house and he made me fondue and for dessert, he made peaches and cream!!! It was fabulous!!! And the rest of the night… well you can use your imagination! LOL!” -Renee
“…My family and I went on vacation in Pismo Beach and I didn’t want to go because I’d miss seeing my boyfriend over Valentine’s Day. He knew I was stuck going so, without me knowing, he bought a plane ticket and rented some horses. He came to the hotel around sunset and we went riding on the beach. It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for me.” -Jennifer
“When my boyfriend took 4 dozen roses and tied little tags to each rose and wrote why he loved me on each little tag. Then he spread them all over my room so when I got home my room was covered in roses and all of the reasons why he loves me. He then he took me out to a very romantic dinner.” -Kristin
When things haven’t been as intimate as you’d like in the bedroom a sensual Valentine’s Day can definitely leave a lasting impression.
“I returned home from a military operation. I had been in the field for over 6 months. When I walked in my home I found rose petals all over the floor. There was a warm tub of water waiting for me. My wife didn’t say a word. She washed me and dried me off. She then led me to the kitchen where my favorite meals was waiting. After dinner she took me to the bedroom and gave me a long massage. I drifted off to sleep. In the middle of the night she woke me up and we made soft smooth love.” -Parris
“I created a Valentine (bed)room. Walls were decorated with hearts and cupids and a large banner over the bedposts read, ‘HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY.’ A canopy of red and white streamers was formed over the bed. Red satin sheets covered the king size bed, complimented with pink pillow cases. The furnishings were covered with red lace cloth. The dresser mirror reflected the glow of candles adorned on one side by a cassette player with selected love songs. On the other side an ice bucket holding an exotic wine. Nearby were two crystal goblets. The fragrance of red, white and pink flowers permeated the room. On the pillows, her Valentine gift: a heart shaped box containing a silk négligée minus the panties…” -Zorba
Even the best laid plans can have glitches or complete disaster. Fortunately, this doesn’t mean the odds of a memorable Valentine’s are against you. In fact, it’s more likely to be the exact opposite.
“1995, we spent one night in a hotel near where we live. On Valentine’s Day we were supposed to drive to Bar Harbor, 3 hours away, but my girlfriend (now my wife) got sick. As a result, we stayed in the same hotel and I just took care of her, rented movies and just enjoyed the day together.” -David Hill
“I was cooking spaghetti and my boyfriend was running late from work. I burned the garlic toast and ruined the noodles. When he got to my house he was the only one to eat, but not that much. He handed me a box with a gold bracelet inside, of little daises, representing our relationship, always growing and changing. While enjoying our candle lit dinner, we played ‘Lady and Tramp.’ My advice is not to cook for a chef, but the night was one I won’t forget.”” -Kristin Walker
My husband was trying to rush me out of the house to do some errands and I got irritated with him for being so pushy. After I had been a nasty old witch to him and started a major fight about how he was trying to control me, I stormed out of the house. I had gotten about 2 miles down the road when I realized I had forgotten my driver’s license. I went home to get it and as I stormed through the front door, intent on continuing my anger, I noticed that the table had been decorated with champagne and roses and a dozen cards. All for sweet little old me. I couldn’t stop crying at how my husband still had room in his heart to carry out his extra special Valentine’s celebration. We have been together 15 years and he still surprises me regularly. Howard, you are truly my soul mate. I love you.” -Penny Barr
Just because you might find yourself without a date on this day of hearts, doesn’t mean you can’t have a memorable, loving holiday!
“Me and all of my girlfriend’s got together and threw an ‘Anti-Valentine’s Day party.’ We had a progressive dinner, watched movies and played games… having fun being girls. It was the best Valentine’s Day ever.” -Star
“I’ve never really had a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day, but a few of my guy friends felt bad for me. So they got a big box, painted hearts all over it and inside it had a box of chocolates and a package of flower seeds. It was the best present I’ve ever gotten.” -Lindsey
“My most memorable Valentine’s is a little different from everyone else. I have never had a Valentine until this year. I used to wear all black on Valentine’s Day. Last year I broke down and decided to join them because I couldn’t beat them… LOL. My best friend and I made over 50 decorated cookies for close friends. It was well appreciated and I actually enjoyed Valentine’s. I learned that just because you don’t have a Valentine doesn’t mean that Valentine’s can’t be a special day. =} Happy Valentines and God bless!!” -Kelli
