Valentines Day. What should I make/write her? Really apprehensive.

[Demonblade]

I like my friend and I she likes me, but she says she doesn't want to be in a relationship until after graduation (which is this June). She said that we could be together then if I were still interested. It's almost Valentine's Day and I don't know what to get her. I don't want it to seem too much like what a BF would give to his GF. I want to give her something that shows how much I care for her.

 

I don't want to buy her something. I already bought her a gift from the heart for Christmas (I bought her a necklace). I want to give her something made from my heart. I used to write love poetry. Should I try to write her a love poem? Or should I write her a letter letting her know how much she has affected my life, how much I appreciate her and how I feel about her. But I don't know how. I don't know what to do. I know what I want to say, but I am afraid it might be too much too soon. How can I avoid doing this? What else can I do? I don't know. I'm racking my brain for something I can do or write that won't freak her out or make her feel awkward or something. Any help? Please? ](*,)

Firstly keep it light hearted, valentines day is a bit of fun so you want to make something fun with a personal touch, perhaps reminders of the good times you have both had, and why you both enjoy each others company so much. I made a card for my b/f for valentines by writing a list of top ten memories and finding pictures online, printing and cutting them out and making a collage by sticking them in a card. Example we met in a supermarket so put a pic of a trolley in it! This is cute and personal but also light hearted. Keep the poems for next valentines when you're going out

Well, the thing is. We met at school. I was depressed one day and I got up from where I was sitting (because the people sitting next to me were real annoying) and sat at another table, not knowing that there were a bunch of other people sitting there. I looked up and that's when we first saw each other. We didn't talk until the next semester, but that was small talk. Then summer vacation came up, I got happy and when school started back up I asked her out and she said yes.

 

But I can't think of anything to make or write. I know what I want to say, but I can't get any of it into words. I'm getting headaches from thinking about how to get them into words and I've been thinking for the past 3 weeks.

My vote is for a handmade cartoon of you both, I made a guy one once and he loveeed it.

I can't draw at all. I don't think I can draw a cartoon. I'm more of a writer. I want to write her something, but I can't figure out how to get anything into words. This is the first time I've ever dealt with not knowing what to write (and I know it's not writer's block because I just wrote a random poem yesterday). Why can't I write anything?

 

Kind of third grade but, maybe I should make a heart valentine?

Writing her a poem would definitely appeal, are you musical at all? A song would have a similar effect.

The thing about valentine's day is that you can get away with doing very lame things and it's seen as cute.
