Yahoo! Over-Complicates Valentine's

By: Monica

He got you: A heart-shaped box of chocolates from the supermarket.
He’s saying: "I forgot it’s Valentine's Day."


... Or he thinks you like chocolate?

He got you: Jewelry or a watch.
He’s saying: "I'm not super-creative, but hey, I tried. Don't worry, I probably won't notice if you exchange it for something that's more your style."


... Or he thinks it will help you stay on time OR he thinks you'll like it?

He got you: A surprise weekend getaway to a quaint little bed-and-breakfast.
He’s saying: "I'm hoping you like me enough to deal with being in the same room as my snoring — I know I like you enough to put up with yours."


... Or he wants to spend quality time with you and/or he thinks you'll like it?

He got you: Every season of your favorite guilty-pleasure TV show.
He’s saying: "I like you more than I hate Ross and Rachel."


... Or he likes it as well and/or he thinks you'll like it?

He got you: Anything homemade.
He’s saying: "I'm crazy about you — and I've got the Krazy Glue-splattered furniture and staple scars on my hands to prove it."


... Or he'll give you furniture not splattered with glue with unscarred hands (which will be just as sweet and cute but maybe more table/mantel appropriate and he thinks you'll like it?

Are we seeing a trend here, ladies?

He got you: A greeting card.
He’s saying: "I don’t think it’s worth spending money on a Hallmark holiday, but, ironically, this Hallmark card is the cheapest thing I could find."


... Okay, yes, he could have gotten you a rose, as well.

He got you: A relationship scrapbook, complete with photos of you together and ticket stubs from all the shows you've seen.
He’s saying: "I’m a cheesy romantic."


... Uhmmm, okay, true, AND slightly creepy.

'He got you: A pet for the two of you.
He’s saying: "Let's pick a name together — I want to make sure you don't choose one that I've reserved for our future children."


... Hopefully atleast a year into your relationship and you are living together... and I am sure that no man has had that specific thought. EVER.

He got you: Kitchen appliances you didn't request.
He’s saying: "These spatulas are as close to a bouquet of flowers as you'll ever get from me."


... Or he thinks you'll like it? He's not good at this romantic bullshit, give him a break!

He got you: A voicemail on Feb. 15, apologizing for forgetting about Valentine's Day.
He’s saying: "When you're done bad-mouthing me to all your friends, please, please give me a call back so I can grovel."


... Uhmm, I assume you are not dating him. Unless he is a buysbusybusybusybeemoneymakerCEO, I don't understand why he even called.
