Valentines Day date advice

The night went awesome actually. Cliff Notes version is she loved the Bath and Body stuff I got her and yeah we did end up making out when I dropped her back off at her car. She slipped me the tongue first and then did as well. :)
 
I played it easy; got her some flowers and a card. Nothing fancy, some gummy life savers. While at the store I picked up a small cheesecake and some shock top honeycrisp apple wheat beer she tried and liked.

She hit me after saying I wasnt supposed to do anything, but I could tell she liked it.

Then, I told her I had another present for her, I left the room, and came back with this:

She laughed for a solid 3 minutes. Perhaps I should have used a smaller box.

I'd high five you if I could, probably after seeing you wash your hands though :hiding:

How is that? To play video games with your lady, who actually knows what she's doing. Seems like a dream.

Ha! She had no idea what she was doing (or she put up a great ruse!).
I had to show her how to use the D-pad and press X for character selection. It took a minute, because she kept choosing players she didnt want to be. Because she was trying to change their outfits. Of course, it was my fault for telling her that different outfits were available.
When we got past that, though, she seemed to learn special moves, and was able to repeat them enough to beat me.

But, being able to play video games with her was/is fun.
My exwife only liked old Nintendo/Sega games.

So, who used any of my (or matticus') brilliant advises?

I did!

The best part is that she didnt have to actually open the box, so I can use it again and again.

I came into the room (hehe) in my boxer shorts and shirt, holding the box as one would. It took her a few seconds to register, and then she shouted "A Penis!" before proceeding to laugh.
 
I took my girlfriend to Dave and Buster's where we got shrimp dinner and then played games. I won the ticket jackpot 4 out of 9 times on the game where the light spins around and you have to press a button to stop it between an arch (it's like a big metronome really). The guy exchanging tickets was new and put our tickets on multiple times so we ended up with 3,600 instead of like 1,500. She got a plush pickachu, ice trays that freeze ice cubes in the shape of koi, and a domo keychain. In addition to the Mickey/Minnie valentine's gift bag and Companion Cube pandora charm. This is what a companion cube looks like for non-gamers: Invalid Link Removed

Between Pokemon and Portal I easily won her over. It had nothing to do with the fact that we've already been dating since July 2011 :hiding:
 
No cold sores so far?

Nope. I secretly planned most of the night but never would let her know that and acted with a just regular go with the flow attitude up until when I gave her the Valentines gift as she never expected that either. She felt bad she did not get me anything but I told her to not worry about that as I did not expect anything (nor wanted her to get me anything as I wanted to make it about her.) I did really enjoy our make out session. She may of been expecting it as she said she really liked me and It felt right so I took the reins and went in for it. To me I knew I liked her too and I wanted to go in for the kiss because who knows what would of happened if I chickened out. Some will say kiss when it feels right or even the second date, dare say the first? However the third date is usually the sh*t or get off the pot date, especially if she is kind of expecting it.
