I'm a simple girl, I' like simple stuff.
Make dinner. Nothing major, just maybe a baked potato and a grilled steak or chicken.
Rent a cool movie. (And personally, I think chick-flicks suck. can we rent "Fall of the House of Usher" or "The Pit and the Pendulum"? I like Vincent Price/Poe)
Forget the champagne. Go for sparkling cider. Yum yum.
If she's into shiney trinkets, get a nice tennis bracelet, not big, but still pretty. The one that I wanted is actually at WalMart for $40. Rubies and 14k gold.
Make slow love until she's begging you for something harder and faster. (In my case, that takes about...five minutes. I bore easily)
And for fuck's sake, if nothing else, get her a nice teddy bear and a small box of candy with a single red rose. If she likes the traditional route, anyway, she'll like it. No candy for me, though, but I like the single rose and the teddy bear. (and no, the ugly goddamn gorilla that sings whatever stupid song does NOT count.)
Hope that helps.
(Try this, too, if you think red roses are too cliche...a "Melody" rose is my personal favorite, it's a peach rose with red tips. It's beautiful and smells soft and sweet. Love 'em!)
