When Jake and I were dating, I told him I wasn't the biggest fan of Valentine's Day. I'm just not. I'd rather he do something cute and tender on a day he isn't obligated to. He didn't believe me so he bought me some roses and candy and we watched the waves break at Pipeline. I remember walking out of the dorm where I lived for a semester and there he was standing next to Benny the Burb all "Hope Floats" style with roses and there was a group of girls watching me.

This year, however, we did something uber romantic. Upon my request...
We had dinner at Costco.
We shopped at Costco and Wal-Mart.
And then we came home and watched a gushy movie.
On the drive back he kept telling me that he felt he didn't do anything special for me but I shared with him my thoughts from above... I would love it if he did something nice, just not on a day where everyone tries to outdo each other.
I completely agree with your view on this! And I love Hope Floats!
