Valentine's Day anxieties.

[AchromaticRainbow]

I have the sweetest boyfriend ever.  My mother likes him, he opens doors for me, I feel an emotional connection to him, and I think he's a guy I could fall in love with.  He's also a romantic. 

I'm not.

If he had no opinion on it, I would skip Valentine's Day like I try to avoid every other holiday.  But he's really looking forward to it, so I want to make it a great holiday for him.  But I'm not sure what to do.  I'm not a romantic, and I think that he's going to try to make this really sweet and romantic, and I'm not good at that.  What I want to get him is a collector's shirt to replace one that some chick stole from him that he laments about, but I don't feel like this is romantic.  I mean, it's a shirt. 

Do you guys have any recommendations on a cute little romantic gift to get him?  And does anyone have tips for dealing with holiday-related anxiety?

Hi

It might just be a shirt, but it sounds that to him, that kind of shirt is very special. I think it would be a great gift for him as it shows that you know what he wants and it is special to him.

As for anxiety on the day. You might have some before hand, but once you are together you will forget about the anxious feelings and focus on having a good time.

Thanks, camel, that means a lot.  This is my first Valentine's with someone in a few years, and I think that's just getting to me.  I really appreciate the support.  :)

T-shirt sounds good =) you could always find a really special way to wrap it!

Like once I gave a friend (who I had a crush on) a DVD of Office space because it was his favorite movie & didn't have it & I covered it in post it notes that had little messages in them - like little inside jokes =]

Hope this helps

Hi rainbow, glad I could help a bit.
That is a great idea from star about wrapping it in a special way, or write him a nice note to go with it.

Good luck and let us know how it goes :-)

That is such a cute idea, Star, thank you for sharing!
