How was your valentines day weekend?

I think the receptionist is interested but I'm not gonna hit on her at work like a skeevy fuck.

Seeing someone get hit on is like watching someone take their dick out in public.

A very mature take on the matter.
I wish i had a good solution for this.
Maybe write your number on the receipt?

I spent valentines day cranking my hog (literally. I ground pork, and stuffed 25 pounds into casings to make bratwurst.)

Nice, pâtés galore for next winter. Me, I spent the evening jamming my log. And I don't own a fireplace....

honestly pretty good

Been seeing a woman for a month. On Friday I picked her up from the airport, we went to my house, cooked food together, had some really good sex. I wanted to make it slightly more romantic but the fancy vegan cheeses I ordered so we could have wine and cheese in front of a fireplace didn't arrive. So just homemade pizza and wine. The next day she had some errands but we went to her place in the evening. Sunday we stayed at her place, but went out to the gym together during the day, otherwise mostly lazy with movies and stuff.

We enjoy each other's company and it's been nice so far. We will see how it goes, but the valentine's weekend was really chill.

Dud. After years of having to remind, plan and remind the other half again and again, I gave up and said nothing last year. Nothing happened. Nothing happened again this year. Next up - Mother's Day, which I expect to be equally nothing, just like last year.

I can't wait for the complaints that I planned nothing for birthdays or Father's Day.

Have you talked to your SO about how that makes you feel?
- I have, many times, and nothing changes, always an excuse, they forgot or were distracted by something more important. Hence why I have completely given up trying to plan anything. Like talking to a brick wall. Things only happen when I take the initiative. Special days, house repairs, appointments...
- Wow I am open jaw surprised this top comment wasn't a "get divorced" comment and instead was actively constructive and empathetic.
  
  I agree that there could be something else going on. Especially the way OP is phrasing things. Could be ADD or other issues that make these days not priority even if they do love OP. could also be that OP is feeling some sort of way and their actions make the partner not feel confident enough to do things for them like it'll be a waste. Hopefully they can find the root cause. Maybe needs a shared calendar to help remind.
I'm sorry you're going through that. I'm currently reforming myself of those same tendencies.

My excuse was and is money but, it's only that, an excuse. So I started making construction paper cards and origami flowers. It's not the flowers and restaurants they used to be but, she seems to appreciate it.

P.s. the origami lily folds refuse to sink into my smooth brain. I gotta watch the same YT vid Everytime 😞
- Origami and handmade cards are very thoughtful. :)
  
  Keep trying with the folds, one day you'll forget to check the videoguide!

  I'm glad I'm not the only one. I would think it would stick eventually, but not so far.
Never take advice from internet strangers. But it nonetheless will be given, so here goes.

Tell your partner your relationship will not last without change, and that you want to have small, short conversations with takeaway actions more regularly. My guess is that's the truth, and communication, even a little, can help tremendously when both parties engage.

Saying your relationship will fail and end bluntly will make them scared of that actually happening, because they most likely currently feel secure enough in the relationship to ignore your needs. This is common unfortunately, often born of time and repetitiveness.

Make sure they ubderstand that conversation doesn't have to he daunting (that will scare then), but simple and easy single topics at a time. The first few may be longer, but they will get shorter, and tell them that you are open to talking to someone together if they feel it is warranted or have trouble having those conversations on their own (that alone may spur them to engage).

Peppering in positive commentary or actions, like what you enjoy from them (especially what they do for you) and positive actions (like planning a weekend away or a night out) can also help take the strain out of the conversations, too.

Sorry you are going through this, mental and/or emotional dissatisfaction in a relationship is rough, but assuming you really want to work through it, it is possible to get brick walls to move.
- No. I am in a relationship now and we both didn't really care that it was valentines. We played boardgames I think, I am not sure which day it was. Don't get idiotic over presents or which number in the roman calendar represents the current tilt of the planet. Live life instead.
  
  If it sucks to be with someone, it's because you don't fit. Don't blame. Don't try to change them. Don't sink into anger. Then you're the asshole. Leave. It should be fun and feel nice to live with someone. Don't let the assholes win.
Oof, I fear I become like your SO

I just non chalantly opened a rule 34 link on the train. Just send me to horny jail.

I'm alone but have been playing Sekiro all weekend so that makes up for it

Hell yeah Sekiro is awesome
- Hesitation is defeat

Internal ultrasound scan for me.

It's exactly what it sounds like.

Did the probe buy you dinner first? I imagine it was awkward with the radiologist being a third wheel the whole time.
- No, but I did pay $400 for the privilege!
I don't know what it sounds like, I'm not a dog
