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.
