When your girlfriend/wife says she doesn't want you to bother for Valentine's

[Red Ram]

Should you take her at her word? Or is it a ploy to see what you'll do?

[TruckDriver]

If it was me, I'd still get her something. 

[Brock Samson]

just hope she aint got another lover that is bothering her ..

I call BS usually.  They tell you that and then end up buying you a small present to really put the trip on. 

[Red Ram]

Trying to avoid the "trip"!

[Orange_Crush]

When my wife and I started dating, she pulled that one me...I didn't want to have to deal with the games for the rest of my life so I took her at her word.  She got mad at me and I told her that if she wanted me to get her something, she should've told me.  That was the last time she did that.

[tan top]

i think it is a ploy  just to  see if you  was going to do something because you G-f was expecting you to do some thing & not because you wanted to ,     i know what i am trying to say but it does not look right when written down .
  or it   might be what  (Brock) said   

[71ChallengeHer]

From a girl's point of view, get them something no matter what she says. Come on guys it's Valentine's Day. And if you buy them an appliance it better have jewelry attached. Just a word of advice.

[Silver R/T]

she probably has someone else to spend it with lol

I did away with gift buying in my house years ago 

No birthday presents.
No Valentine's day gifts.
No Christmas presents.
No anniversary presents.
Zip.
Nothin'.
Nada.

I told the Ol' lady   "You want something, go buy it yourself 'Cause you're going to bitch at me if I try to get you something, anyway."

I want something, I go buy it, since she would get it wrong, anyway.

Don't buy into that Bro. More than anything else, Your Lady loves Quality time, not expensive gifts. Spend a quiet evening together, make her dinner, etc......

[Old Moparz]

Yeah, buy her something, those poor Hallmark executives might not be able to vacation this year in their 3rd home on that ocean front property. 

My wife actually doesn't care about that kind of thing. She'd rather have me white out an old Christmas card & get someone to babysit our daughter so we can go see some live music on a Saturday night.

Its a trap....don't fall for it.


I would put this on the same level as that loaded question...do I look fat in this dress.

Careful careful careful

Now that's some good advice. Thanks for the advice everyone! I'd cook for her but that would be no gift to her...unless she really wants soup and sandwiches for dinner. I'm going to make dinner plans and a few flowers and perhaps "desert"!

[bull]

Take her at her word. See what happens.

[Arthu®]

Just give her a present (no teddybear with hearts (no offence) but something personal, most of the time cheaper but also more effective) if she is anything like a regular girl/woman she will want to celebrate, for some reasons women love to celebrate anything and ofcourse with presents. I myself could do without...

Like most people said, its a trap.

Its the ole I dont want to seem like I need it or want it thing. Shes trying to be easy going

and not a little money grubber.

The reality is they want a present, they LOVE to show and tell their friends about it.

Woman love standing at the water cooler and telling her buddys, "my man got me.... "


This is happend to me before. I was told she didnt want something. So I didnt get it for her.

Guess what..... she was really disappointed. And when I asked her about it she said

that I should have figured out she really did want something.  WTF

The 100 or 200 bucks isnt worth the torment later on. Just cough up the money lol.

[Nacho-RT74]

I just do what I want to do, no matter about what it says the rest of ppl, close or not

[my73charger]

Don't fall for it!!  Bad trap!  Danger ahead!  Go back!  Proceed at your own risk!  don't bother means you better buy her something!!

[MichaelRW]

Get her something, but pretend you didn't. But when the SHTF, pull the gift out and tell her "I thought you didn't want anything".

Sounds like you need a refresher on --->GIRL RULES

[mikepmcs]

Don't even fall for that one!

Now I'm in the dog house because I didn't come up with a plan before she had to ask! With all the response to this subject, I get the feeling I'm not alone! The "Woman Rules" seems more like a coping tool than a tool to avoid danger!

next time my "ol' lady" lips me off, I am going to show her your post...  

and red ram, when your lady says "don't bother" for V day, you should tell her that you would love to slide down a 60 foot razor blade on your balls and land in a bucket of iodine.  This way, you can both be lying...Not saying that she's a liar by nature and in fact she may have even believed it when she said that to you.  but....when V day comes  I gotta go with at least a card with some mushy shit written in it.  Or you could teach her a lesson and go out and buy one of your buddies a car part he's been wanting.  then tell her since she did not want a gift, you used the money you saved to help out your friend....
