What everyone else said, a necklace or a bracelet BUT i wouldn't engrave anything on it....too early in the relationship for that imo. don't just hand it to her either, make a moment out of it, kiss her from behind or something, give her a moment she can remember

if you don't want to blow a wad on flowers, just buy one red rose and handwrite a note to go with it - and spent the rest on her gift. One flower is classy anyways

Get some rose petals, vanilla candles, and velvet scarf/rope too, you KNOW something is gonna happen after dinner on v-day

Have fun

Hehe the name is a decoy =)

3months, yah I plan on taking her out to some dessert place but where's good?

Buy some nice cheescake and bring over two plates and two forks and eat. It says happy valentines day, without being over bearing. I've been dating the girl for 3 months and this is what i plan on doing.

Any suggestions on where to buy good cheesecake?

i concur!

Or keep it nice and simple by cooking a meal together =]

then go play some connect four.
or hungry hungry hippo.

:D

if going out for cheesecake, the only place i've had them were at Cheesecake Etc.
They never fail to please my taste buds!

as for fondue.. i only know of one place, but i haven't been there for a while
it's that place that has all-you-can-eat fondue on Robson St right by Hapa.
It's not really romantic per se b/c it's bright in there, but fondue's good :)

my chick can whatever she wants.

^ LOL

"you can haaa whatevaaa u likeeeee~"

EDIT: On a more serious note. I wouldn't blow over $80 on the present/flowers if you've only been going out for 3 months. And i try not to get jewelery until probably 6 months into the relationship. You're only setting a precedent for yourself and you're gona have to keep topping yourself as you go along. I agree with what ENDLESS was saying, don't blow too much on the gifts and dinner but try to make the night special by the mood / what you guys do instead of what you get her.

as for flowers ... there was a place called vins flowers that put up ads on RS for a few years now but this year i dont know where they are... but they are fairly priced and are nice people..

as for present id say a bracelet is a good idea and maybe a teddy bear.

as for dinner, i say dine out is a good idea.. la terraza is a nice restaurant... foods pretty good.

its better to stay home rather than call up all your friends.
makes you seem desperate because you are so lonely

^ Yeah, stay home and just eat and sleep the depressing day away.. Then tomorrow is just like any other day ^^

make a card.

use all the letters in HAPPY VALENTINE'S and for each letter you can describe somehting fantastic about her or something. hand make something's always better =)

Dinner wise......take her somewhere with a nice setting, but not necessarily expensive

Lookout points? Burnaby mountain, near hastings and willingdon. There's a really nice one up there. or Cyprus, but I don't know how if it'll be foggy.

what if no fds at all?

if you ahve no friends then stay at home... have you heard of the "stranger"? :):):)always fun.

Girls love cake! I say bring her to a dessert place! sOO she can enjoy all the sweets she wants! or suprise her with something. Im pretty sure girls love suprises!

^ I'd rather just receive 2 slices, 1 for each of us at home... That way, I won't feel bad about ordering something bigger than him, and end up feeling like Ms. Piggy after :P

Personally, a lot of the girls I know like hand-made stuff as opposed to J
jewelry or expensive things.

So just take them out on a nice dinner, nothing too fancy, do something that she likes, take a lot of pictures and cuddle up and watch a movie at home.

^ Most girls are fine with that. But it of course, it's not everyone's piece of cake.

there's a really good dessert place in yaletown called Ganache.

Try it out.

do nothing. It's just any other day. ;)
