ok, a bit of background, my Girlfriend & I have been togather for a little over 2 months now and it apears that she finds all things romantic to be cheesy. (our relationship was built on sarcasm, go figure) anyway, as all of you would know, Valentine's day is aproaching fast and I feel like that I should give her something or do somthing for her, but it's kinda hard to do anything without apearing cheesy to her, so any ideas?
ohyes, and if this helps, I'm 20 and she's 16.

i think ul find its her age thats making her thing like this. At 16 most girls still think romance is cheesy because of thier immaturity. There pretty much still chosing boyfriends ( and i use this term in the loosest sense!) on thier 'hottie' potential rather than how they will treat them, financial security, romance, kindness etc.
Suggestion? A nice card and a teddy bear. Shes too young to take to a nice resteraunt for a nice romantic meal and some wine...and in my opinion shes definetly too young for you to book a nice hotel room with jacuzzi etc...******* 7 Times World Champion Michael Schumacher - the ultimate sporting hero *******

Well being a 16 year old myself i dont know wether i am too mature for my age,i havent had all that many boyfriends but i knew that my current boyfriend was the one for me,he is also 20 the same as you and we both take eachother seriously and dont look at eachother as an age,were both people who enjoy being accepted as adults and take situations seriously that need to be.Although some may think 16 year olds dont know what love is ...well then arises the question 'what is love' and the feeling i experience with my boyfriend feels what i believe to be love.Anyway...jewelery is always a good choice ,no need to go overboard on price just something you think would suit her,chocolates you cant go wrong with lol unless shes allergic.Just remember its not all about the presents its a day to celebrate what you have together.Nothing wrong with going to the movies to see ssomething you both enjoy while enjoying eachothers company.

All good ideas sarah, the point i was making was that seen as she finds romantic stuff cheesy not to go too overboard just yet, and also they havent been together that long really. I know a few 16 year olds who are very immature and find nice gestures by their boyfriends embarressing no matter what age they are and get a bit 'scared off' if they come to strong.
On the other hand i do know 2 girls (ones just turned 17) who as a whole are very mature and both have relationships with older guys, and definetly appreciate what they have
How about going to the movies, (if you drive get a nice cd and play it in the car) tell her how beautiful she looks, and get her a necklace or bracelet, a card and cute teddy bear
Or you could even ask her what she wants to do...unless your going for the suprise element hehe

well, at the begining i didn't know she was 16, She's a first year in my Uni, so I thought she was around 18-19 but any way, these ideas sounds interesting, I might go with chocolate & bracelet/necklace, and about movies, we either go to the movie or hangout and my place or her place all the time anyway, there's not much things to do here in the big durian (Bangkok). but that doesn't really matter, I'm suppose to be helping out with my Club's booth at the Uni's Valentine's day fair anyway, hmm, prehaps I should try to get her to help me out...

The chocolate/bracelet idea seemed kind of unromantic, seeing as this is the thing almost everyone gives their girlfriends when they couldn't think of anything better. (News flash; that equals bad.) Try to find something personal, which represent your relationship.
Once I got a card eight days in advance, and it had only one letter. Yes, you guessed it, the letter "I". The next day came the "L" and after that the "O" and so forth. (At the end it spells I love you.) Put the card in an envelope filled with feathers or something, chicks dig that kind of shit.
You could also start nine days ahead, which means she'll get the final letter the day before valentines, and then on valentines you give her the bracelet. This way it gets sort of personal including the boring bracelet (since she'll probably want it if she's another statistic).
Good luck, dude.
