hey i'm a guy and have a girlfriend, i love her and everything. i was wondering...i havn't asked her yet, but would it be a bad thing if i sent valentines day cards to my friends that are girls? some of them i'm really good friends with and i wouldn't want to do it if it offended my girlfriend or let her think the wrong idea. should i just ask her about it, or am i over-analyzing things? i am getting my girlfriend a gift, but would it be wrong to send a few cards to my friends as well? what do you think, thanks in advance.
Then, make sure you ask your gf about it, telling her that you really love her but you have some friends that are girls too and don't want them to feel left out. And if she doesn't feel OK with you sending Valentine's to these ladies, respect her if you wanna keep her.

My best friend's boyfriend gave us all flowers for Valentine's day. Of fourse, he got his girlfriend a present but he acknowledged us too.
I dont think you have to explain anything to your girlfriend. She'll probably understand. If she doesn't, just explain to her that you want to show -all- your friends some appreciation.
It's nice that you're thinking of other girls. I've been single on Valentine's day too and I know how good it feels when someone random just decides to share the love :) [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]

t0xicParadiSe answered Sunday February 12 2006, 1:54 pm: Hey, I think that is a good idea and very sweet of you too do that.
I also think that you should talk to your girlfriend about it so she isn't the last one to find out and so she doesn't take it the wrong way.
Teza answered Sunday February 12 2006, 1:30 pm: It would not be bad at all! You should tell her about it so she doesn't get the wrong idea. When you write the cards to your friends, just write happy Valentines Day ____, have a great one, Love ____. If she really was a good girlfriend she wouldn't get mad and she wouldn't care that you would do that. She would understand that you have really good girl/friends. Just tell her so she knows but anyways, I think it's a really cute thing to do. Your friends will appriciate it. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

Heartwhisper answered Sunday February 12 2006, 1:21 pm: My first thought on this issue would be.... if she really is your girlfriend, and you have done your part to let her know you are a good and loyal guy.... then she shouldn't be 'bothered' by you sharing valentines card with your female friends. If you can't have both male and female friends, there is something not quite right about your relationship with your girlfriend. Why would she deny you having both m & f friends, the rest or most of us do!
If this issue causes problems with your girlfriend, I'd have to say, you already had problems. I wouldn't give it a second thought, I would give valentines to all my friends, I use to, but at this age(61) well, I've slowed down a bit, ha!
Don't worry about it. If your relationship with her is soooo fragile, you'd best look at it closer and either speak up about it and work it out between you, or find another girlfriend!
duce answered Sunday February 12 2006, 1:05 pm: If i was your gf, i dont think i would be too happy. Valentines Day symbolizes LOVE.
Would you like it if she sent her guy friends valentine cards?
It would be different if you werent involved with anyone.
I dont think ive ever came across a card that just had something about friendship.
Ive received cards, but i wasnt with anyone and neither were they.
Its your choice though!
Good Luck! [ duce's advice column | Ask duce A Question ]
lucretia answered Sunday February 12 2006, 12:52 pm: What a lovely idea! I'm quite sure that if you explain it to her, she wouldn't be offended;in fact I would go so far as to say if she was(I mean after discussion) you would need to rethink your relationship, for it would show a mean spirit on her part. But I'm sure she won't. Of course you should get her more than you get your friends, but I think sending something to everyone is more truly in keeping with the spirit of the day than all this exclusive lovey-dovey stuff.
Good on you! [ lucretia's advice column | Ask lucretia A Question ]
