Some story that stands out to me would be the first time that I ever did anything romantic,
00:06
which made me feel, it was very awkward. I'm not that kind of guy generally, but I'd been
00:10
with my partner for a number of years, and well, maybe a couple of years, and I thought,
00:15
you know, I better make, better try and make an effort here, ain't I? So I went and, you
00:19
know, got some jewellery and a big, big thing of roses. And I remember, I remember the feeling
00:25
in my stomach, and I'm like, I was so nervous. And I remember going into the house, I almost
00:30
didn't want to turn the corner into the room. And, but yeah, I felt, it made me feel really
00:35
good that I did it, and I know that she very much appreciated it. But the thing that I
00:39
may have messed up on was getting such a big bunch of roses for the first time, because
00:44
then I felt like I was competing every other year. But one good little tip of what I've
00:48
done now, I got her a charm bracelet, so now I can just get her a new charm.
00:52
Well, I'm Madeline Love. I'm basically on Valentine's Day. I'd like to give him a special
00:58
surprise as well, which I won't say until the day.
01:04
I'm just compiling a playlist of all the gigs we've been to this year. So, you know, I think
01:09
that's quite nice. It's also quite, I'd say free, that makes me sound tight, doesn't it?
01:15
I'm not a fan of enforced spending on Valentine's Day. I've had a holiday bought for me, that
01:24
was quite nice as a surprise, yeah. And I know my girlfriend's just bought me a load
01:28
of books that I like. So yeah, that's it.
01:31
Most romantic, probably a couple of years ago, I took my son's mother to Blackpool and
01:38
got her to go up Blackpool Tower and surprise her with some chocolates and flowers. And
01:45
it was a big surprise for her because I'm not really a romantic person, but this year
01:51
I just felt like I needed to do something special for her.
01:54
The most romantic thing I've done for someone ever is I took my girlfriend on her first
02:00
date to a nice restaurant and we had a good time and ate carbonara and then went back
02:08
to my house and walked my dogs.
02:09
Do you know the scene from Lady and the Tramp? I've recreated that with someone. Really cute.
02:15
That is cute, man.
02:17
Sculpture, little sculpture for the couple, romantic with a heart, typical, was years
02:26
ago with my hands and yes, it was this. And I received yes, it was a very nice dinner
02:41
with something special for me.
02:42
I think that Valentine's Day is a bit of a consumerist thing along with, I think, the
02:47
consumerism of Easter and Christmas. I feel like it's blown up a lot more than it should
02:52
do really. I feel like it's just something to get us through the year, something to spike
02:55
us to get us to spend money more than anything.
02:57
I feel like Valentine's Day is a bit silly because it's one date to show love to people.
03:01
You should be doing that all the time.
