I went to the store to pick up a card and something else. Never seen so many unaccompanied guys in a grocery store in my life, and they were all clustered around the flowers and cards and holiday aisle with the chocolates.
To be fair, I was one of them. For the card section, anyway.
I skipped past the VD specialty cards and went to the more standard card rack of birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, romance, friendship. I found a nice "love you" one.
No flowers. I already bring home flowers on occasion, so it wouldn't be special. I went to the gift card section and got a movie gift card. We hardly go out anymore, because money and crowds and general bother. I wrote my standard love note in the card and on the bottom put (will you go out with me?), stuck the gift card in it, and sealed it up.
It was well received.
