bassinhole Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 So I was discussing our complete lack of plans for this weekend with my lady. She isn't typically the valentines day type and gets rather indigent when presented with gifts on that particular day. She tells me I should go fishing on V-day and she can sleep in... Is it a trap? Should I go? Should I do the exact opposite? I'm so confused... 6 Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted February 9, 2016 Super User Posted February 9, 2016 Once you admit to yourself that you cannot win, you'll be closer to finding peace. Go fishing. Get flowers on the way home. Bonus: The flowers might already be on sale by Sun afternoon. 6 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted February 9, 2016 Super User Posted February 9, 2016 If it's an option at all ~ Send her flowers At Work on Friday. Always a fan favorite . . . . . It's early , It'll catch her by surprise and she'll be the E N V Y of the Office. And don't skimp ~ Go Big ! That move may just buy you fishing Saturday & Sunday . . . and she can sleep in both days. Win ~ Win ! A-Jay 9 Quote

Super User soflabasser Posted February 9, 2016 Super User Posted February 9, 2016 You can invite her to join you fishing and offer to make a picnic so both of you can enjoy the outdoors. 1 Quote
warrior1 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I say make it look like you went fishing by keeping it quiet and letting her sleep in; then surprise her and spend the day doing something else with her. I think flowerers with a card that says something like "i went fishing and caught you" would get you a lot more fishing days in the future. 2 Quote
Phil_NH Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Incoming 3 months from now when she gets upset : " and you went fishing on Valentine's day!" good luck 10 Quote

okiangler Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Funny post. Why not try taking her fishing? Who doesn't want something good to look at on their boat while their fishing? 1 Quote

Fishinthefish Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 My wife trapped me once, same sort of thing. Luckily I caught it before I was out of cell service. I called and had flowers sent to her, ever since then she never gives me a hard about going when she tells me I can go she doesn't give me a hard time. Quote
JustinU1X Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I see it as the same thing when my girlfriend says don't get me anything for Christmas or a random holiday. I'll always end up getting something no matter what. Or go hang out with your friend's ..I always do the opposite to avoid the inevitable arguing. And it's just the nice thing to do for that special someone. Plus, women have the memory of 10 elephants. You may not hear about it the next day, or month, but believe me you'll hear about it. 1 Quote

Never put the word elephant in the same sentence as your significant other either, I left an argument once almost believing that I actually called her an elephant and was thoroughly confused. 4 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 10, 2016 Super User Posted February 10, 2016 Tell her that she more important than a fishing trip, and then tell her that you're going to buy flowers, and take her out to dinner. If she still says that you should go fishing, then you are in the clear. Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted February 10, 2016 Super User Posted February 10, 2016 Then again if you have to ask...hmmmm maybe your heart is telling you to do something nice. I'm believing your in this for the long haul right? So thinking of others goes a long way.......just sayin 2 Quote
KDW96 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 When she told you this, DID YOU MAKE EYE CONTACT ? If so , well i think you know what you gotta do. Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted February 10, 2016 Super User Posted February 10, 2016 A trap? That's 2 3700s full of JDM lipless cranks, with hooks all tangled up. Flowers, chocolate (the good stuff) and jewelry for sure. Tickets to something she likes, and knows you don't is the icing on the cake. "You don't need to get me anything" is chick speak for "If you really loved me" Don't do it... 2 Quote

ward131 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I've been married for 35 years. If she says go fishing, I go Fishing! If she didn't want me to go she shouldn't say stupid things! 8 Quote
