Today, I planned a romantic dinner with rose petals, the whole lot, for my ex-girlfriend to win her back. When I took her to my house I told her to guess what I had planned, to which she replied "I hope it's not a stupid romantic dinner with rose petals and shit." FML

I'm so glad someone else is saying these things! Everytime I hear a guy on Valentine's Day or something complain that his girlfriend didn't like a stuffed animal or flowers, I wonder, do they really expect women to swoon over such generic sentiment? Or just expect us to be grateful for the effort? It really is thoughtless... even if she might have been a bitch about it.

YDI for not knowing your ex-girlfriend very well. it really annoys me when guys assume all girls like that cheesy type of romance crap (no offense if you do) and don't bother to pay attention to what the girl actually likes. cheese makes me naseous.

well that's your fault for trying to win back your ex. No matter what you do, you are both the same people, so the same problems that existed when you were together will still be there. Believe me, I know from experience.
