Injecting some sense into this post...
Lol, at first I thought this thread was going to be discussing how "AFC" this holiday was because it has a bad habit of pandering to women.
To Alpha King and GOL:
I can't answer how to handle multiple girls on valentines day, as that's not my specialty. You probably know a bit more about juggling love interests than I so I'm not going to put my two cents in as it wouldn't be worth even that much. But I will say this...a DJ doesn't run from anything. Least of all a girl or two seeking his affections, so this "get out of town" mentality is beneath you guys. Mice flee when problems arise, men stand and face the challenge. Of mice and men, which are you?
To LionFox:
You still have what? 3 weeks left? Don't let it get to you. You've got plenty of time, and there's nothing you can do on valentines day that you couldn't do any other day of the year...Why assign it such vaulted significance?
To mystik:
Some good ideas there, but I would suggest bringing some champagne, some glasses, and a few warm blankets when you go star gazing. Hitting a bar afterwards might hinder the personal aura you strove all evening to create, and how much more romantic would it be to make love under the stars?
Best wishes and suggestions aside, you sound like you're going through this grand production in order to garner her favor and get laid at the end. How long have you been with her that you're still having to worry about playing your cards right? I won't be one to knock you're style, but the gift giving rule of thumb for me is how long/attached I've been with her. To go through all that for someone I haven't been seeing/married to for at least a year would be incredibly vane on my part, and at the same time more than a bit insecure. Unless of course you do these things for her regularly...
To rev:
Again, why assign valentines day such a hallowed position in the annals of the human experience? In other words, why would you only show your affections on valentines day? I'm not saying shower her with gifts and gusshiness year-round, or even every other week. Forgive my asumption here, but to withhold your appreciation for a person's company because you think it might make you look weak? How weak is that? When a friend of your's has been there for you, you let them know you appreciate them by word or by gesture whether it be spending time with your buds, or buying them a round. Why would your woman be any different?
To Ali_g:
If your woman's respect for you is based on how romantic and grandiose a production you can stage for her on valentines day, dump the b1tch. (Are you listening mystik??) A casual night on the town sounds about right. Maybe hit a comedy club and go glow bowling.
The only difference between what you do now already should be at most a small token of your esteem.
Lastly to Chuckles and corndowg:
Again I have to cite the gift giving rule here. A gift is an expression of your appreciation for the recipient. A gift can be a word or gesture even as mundane as spending time with her. (As a DJ's time is very precious) So the first question you need to ask youself is how long have I been with her and how close have we become? All that's left is figure out a way of expressing this to her.
Granted, the inflated importance often on valentines day makes it easy to go fullblown AFC. But then again nothing in itself is 'AFC' or even 'DJ'. Its the mentality behind it which distinguishes the man from the moron. All you need to do to keep your AFC tendencies in check is ask " What am I doing, and what am I doing this for?" You can tell if you're being a Champ or a Chump. You'll be fine.
Forgive the length of the post as I think my two cents just turned into a nickel.
Best of luck in life and love to you brothers on valentines and the other 364 days in a year...
