I admit it, Lion has very little romance in his soul. One year for Valentines Day he gave me a perpetual motion sculpture, and that was only after I threatened his life if he forgot again.
So I thought if I outlined my dream Valentines Day, and several other dopers did the same thing he might get a clue.
Morning- A cup of coffee ,and a cigarette and sex.
Afternoon- presants (a nice mini rose bush is top on my list) candy , sex.
Evening- Dinner, someplace that serves a wonderful cheese cake, sex.
I would say…go by after work…pick up something really good from carry-out…maybe chinese…and have a nice quiet peaceful evening at home with a good book
the dream:
Awakening from a dream of passionate lovemaking to find it in progress. Coffee and chocolate croissants for breakfast. A hot steamy shower with a back wash. A morning walk along the beach stopping to watch the sunrise. A day spent playing whatever the mood delegates. A candle lit dinner on the living room floor complete with a bottle of good wine, music, and exotic finger foods. A bubble bath with a personal bath attendant to satisfy every whim. A sensual massage with warmed scented oils, feathers and popsicles. Saying I love you and falling asleep with a smile.
the reality: a 5 minute phone call talking about life…
and I listen because I love him more than anything that is of this earth.
I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
*To wake her up with kisses and flowers, followed by breakfast in bed.
*Ahem, “Desert” in bed!
*“A hot steamy shower with a back wash.” ← Can’t say it better than that.
*A day spent exploring new places, talking and learning about each other(gratuitous hand holding and making out included).
*A special dinner out, or a private dinner in, doesn’t really matter as long as I am with her.
*More talking, touching, loving, being happy.
*More, Ahem, Desert…
Oh well, I can dream, can’t I?

Here’s what I don’t want, repeat, don’t want: NO carnations, NO coffee mugs, NO box of cheapass drugstore candy , NO big ugly card with a lurid photo of roses and “To My Wife” in gold on the front. If I get ANY of these things, I will - smile sweetly and say “OH, you shouldn’t have, thank you!!!” I know I’m lucky.
Don’t get me wrong–I love my husband very much. But every so often, one just needs a bit of time to oneself. My husband needs it too. He’s a stay-at-home dad, and if anyone needs a Calgon moment, it is him.
Heyyyyy…maybe that’s what I’ll give him for Valentine’s Day!
