Should I get him something?
I'm 20/f, he's 22m, I always like opinions on this kind of thing.
Our situation's pretty complicated - we're not actually going out, but we act like it. He's also my best friend. We actually dated two years ago for seven months. We still like each other, and we're still involved.
He also hates Valentine's Day. (Though when we were going out, he picked me up from work with a card, a rose, and took me out to dinner. Sweetest thing ever.)
I was thinking about getting him something like a card - but he already knows how I feel, and reiterating it might just make him feel caged, and that's not what I want.
So I was thinking about getting him a small container of my favorite cologne - but he doesn't really wear cologne much anymore.
I've given him stuffed animals in the past (he's a sensitive sweet guy with a tough exterior =P), and a framed drawing for his last birthday...so I dunno. I love to personalize my gifts to my friends, but I'm not sure where to go with this one.
I was also thinking of suggesting we go to Melting Pot (Amazing fondue restaurant that you need reservations like a week in advance for), but I dunno how he'd take it.
What do you guys think?

Getting a guy a gift for valentines day?
New one on me.
Honestly, without knowing the full dynamic of the relationship its hard to say whats appropriate. You mentioned that he might feel caged so I'd say no gift but just doing something with him should be enough. Go out for dinner and a movie. Get a hotel room if you are going to spend the night together.

Well ask him to be your Valentine, so he knows that you'll be getting him something. Make plans to go out to dinner, and get him a card, and if you guys are sexually involve with each other, then make him like sexy coupons that he can use.(if you know what I mean.) Or maybe even ask him out that night. To date each other. If you guys aren't sexually involved, then maybe get him a gift card to his favorite sports place, or game tickets. I hope I helped!<3

I believe instead of trying to give him something tangible, you should just watch a movie with him at your house and talk. It would be nice if both of you just got together and made dinner together, not you making dinner before he came over of anything, just hang out in your place with a bunch of movies and making dinner together, not only will you have fun but it's something to look back upon, not some item that can be lost or destroyed in a house fire if you know what I mean. Also maybe a personalised picture of you and him would be nice too to remind him of the great friendship you have and how much you appreciate it.
Hope all goes well. ♥
If your place is taken up, maybe you can do it at his.
