Watching basketball on tv with girlfriends instead of going out for a Valentine's dinner? She isn't that into you, and going on a V-Day date would suggest more to the relationship than she wants to commit to.

I would start dating other women. Sorry, OP.

V day is a lot of pressure and it’s only been 2 months.

OP here. Yes, this is the case. I’m realizing I wrote 2 months but it’s actually been 3 months. I’m not sure if I should wait more or just figure we don’t want the same thing.


Seems like an overreaction to breakup over Valentine’s Day. She could have made these plans a few weeks ago, when you first started dating and she didn’t want to presume you’d do something big that early on. Is it really that big of a deal to celebrate it on a different day?


She shouldn’t have assumed they’d do something on Vday. But once she got the invite she should’ve accepted. I would if I liked someone. I can watch tv with my friends anytime.

Sorry, I don't think she likes you that much.

Ask her out to dinner on the 15th. See what she says.

Just watching on tv. I don’t want to be a baby about it, but I do try really hard to make her happy to show I’m serious and I wanted to spend some couple time together.

Schedule something for Sunday. Easy, done. You should be happy she has friends and a life. They probably planned this when you were in the early stages of dating. Plus as a woman I would think spending Valentine’s Day with someone in the few months of a relationship would be way too intense.

I think it’s ok. If it was important to you asking sooner would have made more sense. She made plans.

She’s married, or dating, and you’re the backup plan.

Curious if others would be bummed by this. I asked the woman that I’ve been seeing for the past two months if she’d like to go out for Valentines. Told her I’d like to plan a surprise date for her. She told me she has plans to watch women’s basketball with her friends V day night and could we do it some other time.

She has a full life with a nice support system of friends, which I’ve always thought is great. We don’t get to spend as much time together as I’d like because she’s with them a lot, but I don’t mind compromising. For V day though this kinda bothers me. She likes romance and I always take her on thoughtful dates. I was really hoping to spend V-day together. I’m feeling like she isn’t prioritizing dating when I’m looking to settle down.
