1 year anniv - next saturday

[winchester3]

Info about us, we're both 18 and both live at home with our parents. Her parents are strict so i cant keep her out longer then 11pm. Neither of us have our g2 (drivers license for those of you who don't know) however i have my test for it on dec4 and should pass thus enabling me to drive us for our evening instead of taking a bus/cab. So far what i have planned is:

 

1) Afternoon ice skating or Some us time cuddled together in front of her favorite chick flick (Pride & Prejudice, I've never seen it but don't really like chick flicks, guys is it a tolerable watch?). Depending on what the weather will be like during the afternoon.

2) Dinner booked at a traditional Spanish restaurant (She's Spanish and I've been told that she really liked it there by her mom and sister). Plan to blind fold her on the way there to make it a bigger surprise.

3) Followed by a theater show interpretation of the movie high school musical, preformed by a local high school.

 

Also what i have in mind to throw in is.

We count how long we've been going out since the first kiss. Last dec8 when i finally almost told her how i felt about her, i was too nervous and couldn't do it but managed to give her a kiss right smack dab on the lips and she didn't reject it. My actions that night spoke louder and more clear then any words could have. Anyways thing is i never actually asked her "will you be my girlfriend?". Prior to dec8/06 i told her over msn or the phone (cant remember) that i had something to tell her "I have something that i really need to tell you but it would mean a lot more to me if i could tell you in person". This time i will tell her something similar over the phone or msn. And in two Saturdays (dec8/07) I will finally ask her to be my girlfriend. Although we've been going out this entire year, it should have some "Aweee i Love You" sentimental value.

 

Tell me what you think and if throw me some ideas if you think it could be better. Thanks

Highschool play is alright.

 

My suggestion. Go hiking for the day. Then throw a classic checkered red and white plaid picnic blanket complete with straw basket. Then cuddle and enjoy the view/stream. Go someplace with shade to set under though. Take hardcore amount of water.

 

Dunno if it works, but I'll try it soon as I can.

I'm not sure that's a good idea to do in Ontario at this time of year... maybe for the summer

[winchester3]

Yeah, little too cold for picnic. Good idea though. I'm a pretty creative person and I've tried lots and lots of different date ideas. What do you think of my anniversary one?

[leo_s84]

I think it's well thought out...she'll like it, but be careful with the "i need to tell you something" line, she might take it the wrong way (that you want to break up with her)

[ftheunion]

Oh, ontario. Wheres that. If its snowy than go to a hot tub. Or the other options you presented. Like a restaurant that feels like a den or cabin. Some place with atmosphere.

 

Good luck. I just mutter random junk.

I've used the "I need to tell you" before, and so far she's guessed them correctly. Even if the thought of "OMG I think he's going to break up with me!!" pops into her mind, thats ok. I know i'm not breaking up with her Plus it puts some stress on the guessing of it. She should keep guessing and be thinking about it non stop until i tell her. Or is that somthing i should try to be careful of?

you can get a hotel room. probably a $100 deposit though. you get it back after.

[boo121]

Sounds good, keep us posted

[winchester3]

Tonight I'm going to do the "I have something i really need to ask you" over the phone. She's told me that she hates it when i tell her that but she has to wait until next time she sees me. I like it though, because i know that until i tell her she is going to be constantly thinking about what i have to tell/ask her.

[winchester3]

Days coming closer and I'm not feeling very motivated to get her a gift. I know what would be nice and what she'd like but I'm having trouble motivating my self to act upon it.

[ghost69]

why? something up?

[winchester3]

I dunno. Maybe just a bad few days i get like that every now and then. But shiza the tickets to the musical performance are all sold out. I have a friend that knows some people that go to the school thats putting it on and I'm hoping either the school is holding all the ticket rights and it has nothing to do with the theater it's being performed in. And that it's not actually all sold out. Normally 15$/ticket, i told my bud that I'd give 50$ for 2. It was weird, last night when i checked online for availability it was all good. Then today i checked to order and all sold out. I'm not getting a bad vibe about this so i think things are going to work out. If not anyone got any back up ideas they could throw my way?

[ghost69]

find something else to do.

[winchester3]

Great suggestion, man I'd be lost with out you. Anyone throw me some suggestions?

Are you the only one that responds to this thread? Thanks for the suggestions, I've got a decent evening planned out, even with the loss of the musical show.

i don't know. so what did you decide to do?

[winchester3]

All is good. Went ice skating, she grabbed her sisters skates by mistake and they didn't fit her too well so her feet where hurting. She tried to play it off as if her feet where perfect, but i could tell she was hurting. We walked about 20 minutes to the Spanish restaurant and had our dinner. With deep fried ice cream for dessert. It was delicious, i recommend trying it some time.

 

Caught a bus back to my place, watched some comedy this comedy program on TV. Got her some flowers and a movie, told her she had to look for the gift. Anyways the flowers came with one of those mini cards, so i scratched something into it. She opens it, reads the little card and i could tell that she was disappointed with it but told me she loved it anyways. We watch the movie, well i watch it and she just laying there with her arm around me enjoying my company, half awake listening to the movie.

 

I'll admit i was bored, but idle hands helped the movie get by. Movie ends and we fool around for a bit then i told her to keep looking. Guess she wasn't in the mood so i had to get her the real gift. A very pretty photo album with a message inscribed onto the front along with a card i made for her myself and the worst chocolate I've ever tasted. It was this 83% coca Belgium chocolate, the packaging looked really cool so i figured it would be good. Boy was i ever wrong. She got me a very nice silver watch with a green backdrop + custom card. Overall a pretty good evening, no complaints from my end. Her mom picked her up around 11 and that concluded our 1 year anniv.

[ghost69]

nice. but she got disappointed? she was being a snot. you being there and being romantic is all that should have been needed.

[winchester3]

A snot? Not at all, the flowers/card that came with the flowers i didn't really care about they where the work up gift/decoy. Her face lit up when i told her to "keep looking". It was a good saturday, looking forward for her to out do it.
