Women, how would you take it if a man gave you a valentine's gift?

If we’d been close for over a decade and it had always clearly lived in that safe, platonic lane, a Valentine’s gift would feel like a shift. Valentine’s Day isn’t neutral. It’s culturally loaded. So even if the gift itself were small or sweet, I would automatically wonder, Why now? What is this meant to signal?

It wouldn’t necessarily offend me. But it would absolutely make me reassess the dynamic.

I’d think it was a really nice gesture. I don’t romanticize Valentine’s Day or Valentine’s Day gifts. I think it’s something that can be celebrated between friends

Friends are allowed to give friends gifts. That by itself is not a big deal.

But being that the occasion is Singles Awareness Day, you must be careful. Make sure it is not a romantic gift (stay away from jewelry, etc).

Valentines Day for most women is an open door 🚪
The right man could come along.
And even if they are taken..if they like the guy that one gift is significant. Trust me. I've seen it a thousand times. A woman's nature is underrated and a complex thing.☺

I'd take it as friendship.

No I'd think it was just sweet as long as it's not mushy.

Valentines day is all about romance - a gift on that day is saying you have some sort of romantic intentions towards the recipient
