[BELCH]
Just give her a smack on the ass and say “Happy Valentines day bitch!”
I’m kidding of course…
Just throw her a card and say something to the effect of “Hey look, I’m not a stalker or anything I just wasn’t sure what the proper protocall is for this situation. So I figured I’d play it safe and get you a card becuase I really dug our last two get-togethers.”
Anything else besides this would be a game by your own admition; as you already said “I don’t know what to do…”
Definitely no stuffed animals…they take up room and they end up being cute for all of five minutes.
I’m also a girl who’s not real into Valentine’s…in fact this is the first time every I’m actually going to DO anything for it…
I’m with everyone on flowers…a small bright bouquet shows that you’re aware of the date and also aware of the newness of a relationship thingie that you’re enjoying…
Jeez, I hope that made sense grin
Wow, thanks everyone for all your hints and ideas. After talking with a couple of friends’ wives too, I think the best way to go is as some of you said, with just a simple card to show that I realize what day it is. I was leaning toward some kind of flowers, but then I remembered that she told me her last boyfriend WAY overdid stuff like this, in fact he told her he loved her on the second date! She was (understandably) a little freaked out by this, so I want to handle this VERY carefully.
I will of course let you know how it goes. But I now have another problem!!! I’ll make a new post.

Flowers? Aren’t they the sex organ of a plant? Why give her a bunch of sex organs for VD?
Chocolates!
Once when I was the girl in this situation a guy bought be coloring books, and crayons. He also took me to Pizza Hut.
It sounds totally cheesy, but it really was one of the nicest v-day gifts I’d ever been given.
It was clever, he obviously came up with the idea himself. He wasn’t going overboard, so I didn’t get freaked out by it. It was just really thoughtful and clever!!
