Ohh come one... No one is really so selfless, giving over and over and not receiving will fustrate everyone...

Of course...it will..!! I fully agree...

Aw, c'mon guys! Don't tell me that you're helping around here at CG expecting something (like ratings) in return, or that you're getting tired/frustrated because you're always giving/helping?

What is so special about this day, anyway? Why not have such day all the days in a year??? I don't understand the need of it... it's just a day of wastage of money and time...

You're right. I totally agree.

CG is more of like a hobby.. u know.. like watching movies... watching soccer... you are not going to ask Tom Cruise or David Beckham to pay you because you are watching their movies and matches.. would you..?? You just give your time towards your hobby..

[gurleygirl]

Ameri, are you saying you've found someone?! That's soo nice! I'm happy for you.

EDIT:
Sorry if my question is too personal.
Its just that last time we spoke, you seemed available.
Anyways, I really think its nice. Cook dinner for you.. really cool.

yah well... we've been seeing eachother for awhile now. Guess I've never really given an absolute either way...

[gurleygirl]

Do you expect the dinner to be nice as in "nice looking" or as in "yummy"? My wife keeps telling me that what I cook looks like s...t and tastes like heaven.

Both... He's a pretty good cook!

[Deniz]

Both... He's a pretty good cook!

Is he good at washing the dishes too?

@GremlinSA: I concur with what Ideru said plus, a little creativity. You can ask us girls here for tips, if you want.

Thanks..

I'm Asking

BTW.. the wife and I have been together almost 10 years. 4 years ago she wanted a holiday for valentines week, I took her to the coast. 3 years ago, it was flowers, i had 4 dozen White and Yellow roses delivered to her. 2 years ago, she was on a Fruit diet, I had a Fruit basket madeup with so much fruit, it took two guys to carry.. Last year, we were a bit broke, so it was rented DVD's and popcorn... This year, shes just not hinting at anything, Even when i asked her 'What do you want?' she replied with 'What ever you feel like doing..' This year we not broke but i dont have the savings anymore.. )

PLEASE HELP.....

Hmmm, let me see...

First of all, I think you're a sweet guy. I guess, you do those things because you want to show her how much she means to you, and/or you want to make her happy. That's the important thing. Keep it up.

Depending on how well you know your wife, why not do something that will surprise her. If you're a good cook, try making her favorite dish/dessert, etc. It doesn't have to be expensive or extravagant. In short, a personalized gift (so that she knows its solely intended for her) would be nice.

Try doing something you two haven't tried doing together. Or, instead of going out for dinner, why not make one for her. (If you can't cook that well, maybe buy foods but prepare everything else?). Anyways, these are just suggestions from me. I'm no expert, ofcourse. But this is what I think. Ofcourse, the usual Card and flowers should still be present.

Maybe the other guys here have tips to give too. I for one would like to hear/see what they would do in your situation.

Well that's nice.

Exactly. You give time/effort towards your hobby because you love doing it. You give time to your hobby, and your hobby gives you satisfaction/happiness. So you see, you still receive something with the effort you gave.

Same in gift-giving, or other things you do for someone else. When you give something to someone, even if you don't receive any tangible things in return... what you receive is the satisfaction/happiness that you have made someone else happy. IMHO, if one feels forced in giving someone something, then that shows they truly don't care about the other.
