As if relationships and dating these days is not complicated enough, we have an entire commercial holiday coming around once a year to just fuck with us even more. THANKS CORPORATE AMERICA!

Anywho, I'm in a FWB arrangement with this girl. Shes great, I like her, I have zero interest in committing to her, marrying her, etc. She was made aware that I would be seeing other girls and that she should be seeing other guys. She was cool with that (granted I don't think shes seeing other guys but that aint my problem.)

So up comes the first valentines day since this arrangement has happened. I will have friends in town so I will NOT be spending 1 on 1 time with her.

Options:
1) Do nothing, result- she'll likely be sad.
2) Send her a "Happy Valentines" text--she'll likely be a little less sad.
3) Send her flowers to her work --she'll likely be extremely happy but might get the wrong idea....

I'm currently in between 2 and 3 but wanted the advice of some wiser, more experienced people than I. But I guess I'll have to settle for you lot instead

Who pays for the date?

if youre not in an actual relationship dont give her a gift.

Take the attention off valentines day.

Text her the day before or the day of "Hey silly, you're going to have the night of your life this Friday"

When people ask her what she's doing for V day, she will just say that she's going out on Friday instead.

Ehhh.. I tend to make a point to see FB's around Valentine's Day. Just see her earlier in the week and explain that you will have friends in town. Don't send flowers. Maybe call her on Valentine's Day if you're that worried about it.

I am in a similar situation and was would like to know if the same advice holds true.

I've been seeing this girl for 3 weeks and we have only hung out on the weekends. Obviously too early to decide whether or not to start steering what we have towards a LTR. I am obviously not going to buy her anything but she knows I will be out of town this Friday and Saturday with friends so with V-Day on Thursday should I make plans with her on V-Day or leave her hanging and wanting me until I return on Sunday? I feel like taking her out to a V-Day dinner would be over the top given that we recently started seeing each other on the weekends. So if I were to make plans with her on Thursday it would be ordering take-out and renting a movie. Thoughts?

Cheers
