Valentine's day
What will you get to your significant other?
Do you prefer more some material present or showing an affection?
What kind of a love mister/mistresses are you?
Have you made your significant other jealous (in a funny way) while romancing Baldur's gate character ?

A mental note of 'little things' as you hear them, to later use for little surprises, makes it Valentines Day all year. We don't need a day to remind us to, recognize the things they cherish and celebrate it.
I need a gf. It's been too long. Looooooool
I think it is more appreciated to display random unexpected gifts of affection at times other than the major holidays. Of course this does not excuse one from needing to do something on the major holidays also, at least from my personal experience...
But knowing my luck and history with attempting relationships in the past, I expect a rejection honestly.
Sorry to put a downer on things. I just feel like romantic gestures get wasted on people you were rocky with any other time of the year. If you didn't do much for V-Day, but you are happy with your significant other in the 365 collective days, that's a better deal, in my opinion.
So the trick is: "Don't make it important."
And really, do romantic stuff AFTER you get into a relationship. Don't follow the movies or series advices.
Before getting into a relationship, you just need confidence and being fun to be around.
Not the "I must do something romantic to impress her" movie nonsense.
"Hey, let's go out sometime. It's gonna be fun."
Don't her me wrong, I don't dwell on rejections, while I do try to learn from the past, I don't cling to it.
Plus, I'm actually not the romantic type of person The drawing is the closest I've ever come to being romantic in my life... its kind of sad actual.
Then again, I tend to avoid most people, I'm not the most social person in life... despite my career choice...
One can argue walking the artist path has forced me to be more social. Wait I think I just pulled a red herring here...
What do you mean by artist path has forced you to be more social? You can respond to me in PM.
You know, fine artist usually have to interact with people at their gallery opening and social events that they are in. Illustrators like many other careers have to go out to other peoples shows and events to get known and notice. I've been in 2 show, about to be in a third and each one I had to go out and be a around a very uncomfortable number of people and social activity. I'm also constantly told by my professors that I should be hitting all the shows trying to make connections, get my face and name known among the art scene. -shiver-
While being stuck in a gallery is far from my end game, even professional illustrators, comic artist, concept designers should be going out to art events trying to make the connections. We may have the internet in this day and age but believe me, from my experience and the experience of many others I've talked to; its just a tool and it doesn't ave you from having to get up and go out.
Fortunately for me I'm not at the point where I have to draw and paint famous musician posters that are coming to my city, make 10-20 prints and then get to the stadium a little before the show ends and try to sell the prints for like 20 usd per pop. I'm close, but not there just yet.
God, the mount of people I'd have to deal with then, my energy would be drained like a I met a vampire by the end of it.
However I think the smug and married brigade have taken it over. It has caused me to experience to much pressure... I did not have as much fun as I thought I would. Plus, I'm not sure I like my girls getting so many cards...
...
This may be a Dad thing...
Plus, there were tons of single geeky women there to hang out with.
i'm a romantic kind of guy and like valentine's day, but as stated above, it doesn't mean anything if you don't appreciate each other year round
