Ok question for everyone !
What is the best Valentine's day you ever had ? i.e what did SHE do for YOU that made it special ?
I have 2. First one:
First was with my 2nd LTR (long term relationship). I told her I'll cook for her something special. She's European, and she was pretty ignorant about Eastern food at that time, even though she loved it. Her Mom accused me of poisoning her palette, that she wouldn't eat her Mom's Euro food anymore ! I woke up at 05:00 to cook her an exquisite Farsi dish from Mumbai, chicken with apricots, potato sticks and vegetable polo (rice), took forever and I had to do it in the morning or else I wouldn't have time in the evening. Then I rushed the gym and a full day of classes, got back showered and waited for her. We had a great dinner and I thought that was it, when she said we have to go, that she had a surprise for me. I bought her some chocolates and all of course, excellent bottle of wine. Surely bought her a nice gift but ofc I've completely forgotten what it was. I had no idea where we were going and we got on a train to another city. Then went to a Saxophone quartet concert, playing Philip Glass. It was in one of the best halls in Belgium, totally breathtaking architecture. I was completely in love with her. She was dressed SO ELEGANTLY like a real lady, she behaved like a real lady, she was romantic beyond any measure, she blew me away that evening. She paid for everything of course, that too on a very meagre student budget (think 20 Euro a week or even less, in 1997) she must have saved for a couple of months to afford those tickets.
It wasn't that she paid or what it cost her, it was that she knew I love great architecture, I love saxophones, and I love Phillip Glass's music, I love travelling even if it's jus a hop on the train, and she knew I love her. And she combined everything into one awesome evening. Of course it made a huge difference that she saved for this. It meant a lot to me, she sacrificied to make that evening special.
It was one of the best nights of my life. I'll never forget it.
