Girls girls girls, this is not YM, I say bring me some long stem long red roses, a giant heart shape box of chocolates and some yummy smelling candles cuz I'm worth it!!! I love me some chocolates and/or chocolate covered strawberries, champagne, steamed crab legs for dinner... That's my idea of romance.

Tina, you're cheap. I'm the same way. Bring me some cheap flowers just because you thought of me, they're gonna die why spend a fortune?? Exactly...and to be honest, I don't appreciate getting flowers just because he feels he's supposed to get them on Valentine's Day. I would much rather a $5 boquet of carnations just because he wanted to brighten my day. Same here. And if he got me a new pair of sneakers, or a sports bra, or a gift certificate for a pedicure, or tickets to a baseball game, I'd be all over him.

::He also once ordered a "stromboni" instead of a stromboli.::
At least he didn't order a zamboni! Look at me, Miss Positivity!
I was gonna say "no fuglies", but MoneyJenny's list sounds more sensible.
A mexican restaurant I used to enjoy in Miami had Guacamole at MP. I shit you not, people! It did take me a moment to reason out that they wanted to charge me "market price" for guacamole. Uh, people hand out avocados on street corners in Miami.....there's a freaking avocado tree next to a mango tree everywhere you turn your head!

My DH just brought two gorgeous pots of red Geraniums for my patio urns out back. I told him that I thought that was WAY better than a dozen long stem roses! My DH rocks!! That's exactly the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Something thoughtful like that means much more to me that a dozen roses on a forced holiday. I was going to repaint the urns and he did that for me too. That speaks even louder to me than "stuff" especially when I didn't have to ask him to do that for me. ETA: He probably thought he can do a better job of it, but I like to think it's because he loves me so much. LOL!!

LOL, you are describing the kind of guys I always went for Seriously, I have always been attracted to the manly men. I work with a bunch of CPA's and 99.98% of them are just too "soft" for me. I don't want a soft-spoken, romantic guy. Soft spoken and not overly manly doesn't always mean romantic, kwim? Good point...I guess in my head I stereotype people....just like being an outdoorsy guy doesn't mean you can't be romantic.

Nor does an outdoorsy guy mean "red neck".

I guess an outdoorsy guy could be romantic, but since I run screaming from romance, I wouldn't know!

Let them try to sell guac at market price HERE and there would be a riot (started by me). I can buy an avocado for 99 cents at the farmer's market, and they've been that price since summer.

BF will buy me flowers from the grocery store. Some of those bouquets are nice! His boss gave everyone $50 grocery store gift cards for Thanksgiving (he wanted to help one guy but didn't want to single him out) and BF bought me flowers with it. Not the whole $50, just an extra purchase when he went there to buy himself lunch. So what if they were free flowers, the sentiment is still there: I F%$ up and I'm sorry!

I like me a manly man, too. But if he's seriously afraid to put on a pink shirt because he believes it would somehow compromise his masculinity, that's a problem for me! Have some faith in your dick, dude.
I don't like flowers on valentine's day, either. It's so cliche and Tina's right, they charge a fortune for them. The whole thing gives me the willies. I don't dislike romance, I just define it differently.

When DH was in grad school, he had a purple rugby shirt, and whenever he wore it, he got hit on by guys. It happened several times, so it wasn't just a fluke. he got rid of the shirt.

That is so funny. My dh doesn't typically wears darker colors, but he has one shirt that I call "the gay man shirt" because of the collar...of course, we were watching Blue Mountain State (a very juvenile show that we both like) and the Captain of the football team had the exact same shirt, but in a different color. I hate the damn shirt, and I was really hoping he would get rid of it by me calling it a gay man shirt..I guess he's not as homophobic as I thought

LOL Tina. he's keeping it so spite you! My sugarsnap bought a pink button down shirt a few years ago and wears it proudly (after asking me if it was okay, ha). I cannot imagine any guy hitting on him. But if they did, I hope he would be flattered, not offended. And certainly not interested!

I told DH he should be flattered that a male co-worker of mine thought he was cute. I said it is one thing for someone of the opposite sex to think you are cute, another for the same sex to think you are cute. After all he has everything that you have, so he's judging you on more even footing than I do as a chick.

It happened several times, so it wasn't just a fluke. he got rid of the shirt. When I was in college, one of my friends had this purplish/bluish polo shirt. We, of course, always ragged on him about it. One day, he got really frustrated and blurted out "it's not purple! it's periwinkle blue!" It didn't help his cause.
