Chill for Valentine’s Day?

Question

For context my bf and I are both 25 working adults. He’s never been in a relationship before. 
My bf and I would be together for 6 months in February.  He got my bday wrong…and when I told him again for the 4th time he mentioned his moms bday and my bday all being before and after Valentine’s Day i joked and said “you surely got a lot to do that month”. He laughed and said “yeah maybe we can do something chill for Valentine’s Day” and then proceeds to say it doesn’t have to be a huge roses, dinner, and chocolate kinda thing…..
Y’all….I replied and said “what? I like flowers, I like chocolate, I like dinner”. He’s never celebrated Valentine’s Day before because I’m his first gf. I would think he’d want to go on in for it. Idk if that’s concerning or not. I immediately corrected him and said I love flowers and all of that. I like romance. 
I’m not saying he has to break the bank but 5 dollar flowers, 2 dollar KitKats, and cooking dinner at home sounds pretty romantic to me….I guess we’ll see what happens when it comes down to it. 
Also….would it be mean of me to be mad if he forgot my birthday? We would be 6 months together by the time my bday comes in Feb…..he seems like he just can’t remember it. When he told me his bday 1-2 months into us just going on dates, it was drilled in my head. 
What do you think?

Answer

I think you're borrowing trouble....you're 2+ months out from your birthday and this holiday.

Answer

Girl he's already probably sweating Christmas and you're bringing up birthday's and Valentines. Would I be mad if a boyfriend forgot my bday? No because it's just a birthday. It's any other day. And I'd honestly probably forget his anyways lol. I've been married forn6 years and barely just remembered my husband's 2 years ago. Some people are bad at that stuff. As far as Valentines day, why can't yall do a nice dinner at home and watch a movie or even order in? You're getting your dinner and it's in a chill environment? Win-win. It'll only be 6 months in so I personally wouldn't expect much.

Answer

So this whole post is selfish. Valentine’s Day isn’t “spoil my girlfriend day”. It’s for relationships and love. Maybe HE also wants to feel special on that day. Maybe he wants to plan something together, so he doesn’t have to risk fudging it up if it’s not exactly what you want. 
Holidays are great and all, but I would NEVER get upset with my husband if he just wanted us to have a chill Valentine’s Day/birthday/anniversary at home. Because gifts aren’t what matters, and grand gestures aren’t what matter.

Answer

My husband and I met on Valentine’s Day and he told me how much he hates it. Luckily I do too so we work but some people just don’t like the forced romance feel it gives them. I understand other people view it differently but maybe that’s how he feels. He could also just be overwhelmed if it’s first relationship with all those things landing at once. My husband and I had a talk about our expectations for Valentine’s, birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas so we’d be all on the same page. Now we can just look and say “we’re doing the usual?”

Answer

Some guys don't like doing romantic things,maybe he is one of them.You can talk to him and plan together something.About birthday,some people are not good remembering it,so you can remind him a week before.It will be much easier and noone will be mad 😊
