I'm going on my first trail ride of 2026. My instructor's fiancee won't be around that day, so she's taking me, her friend, and one of her younger students on a trail ride.

We intend to be out for 2 hours, but may make the ride longer if we collectively want to lol. I'll be riding the horse named Ginger and I'm stoked. She's so fun to ride and is so pretty.

Same as every Valentine's Day: play video games until I pass out.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 points 7 hours ago

We were supposed to go to a Mardi Gras parade with family, but thankfully they cancelled. So now we're awake early, have valentines day off together with no plans... and we're gonna go fishing for a bit. Packing a cooler now and about to head out, then we'll see where the day takes us! Just excited to have the day with my best friend (aka wife)

Wait for the better holiday, Feb 15th, aka cheap chocolate day.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I find some places now wait a few days to kick in the good sales. Then stagger it to by 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%

Its a game to figure out the sweet spot between discount and selection.

Sitting at home with my kids while my wife takes another course about horses. I think this time is for license to be a judge at competitions.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Cleaning in the morning, Cozy series binging with my ex this afternoon and tonight I've made a reservation at a Lebanese restaurant for me and my fiance, after which were going to a Valentine's themed ballroom dancing night 😊

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm going to keep up my tradition and send an unsolicited duck pic (yes, quack quack) to a friend.

Then going to the science museum with a different friend.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

What kind of duck tho? I have some ducks, so you gave me introgued

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I've no idea what kind of duct this is, I just thought it was a good looking duck.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

It's a call duck! I love them!

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Not much. I woke up to do some dragonboating while he slept in, and now he's just finished at the gun range and is going out for dinner with one of his best friends. I know where I sit in this bromance. 😭

Jokes aside, I know he loves me to death, but we don't really do anything for Valentine's day. His birthday was last week and we went on a day-long bike ride, had an epic sourdough sandwich half way through, and I surprised him with a travel pin board.

This afternoon, I have been reading, journalling, nursing sore muscles, and will be having a miso salmon bowl for dinner.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

The wife and I will be playing Project Zomboid all day. It's going to be glorious!

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

I’m going out with a girl who confesses she always looks up to me and always feels at ease around me, even when I’m not saying anything.

Then, once I’ve finished playing that gacha game, I’ll drink a beer and go to bed.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 18 hours ago

Crying alone. 😭

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Single old dude here, some friends convinced me to go to Goth night at a local club on Saturday

My partner and I are getting haircuts and beautifying ourselves before getting fuckin gakked on drugs all night at home with our cats. I’m very excited.

Edit: oh and eating pieces of sushi whenever we can throughout the night

As god intended

[–] zeb420@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I confessed to my situationship of almost 2 years that I had feelings the other day, she didn’t feel the same way. So probably not doing anything fun, all my close friends are in relationships and have plans for V-Day.

Probably journaling and watching YouTube all day unfortunately. It’s been a rough week.

However, I hope you enjoy your trail ride! What got you into horse riding?

[–] Bassman27@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The fact you confessed is a lot more than other guys in your position. Be proud you made yourself vulnerable and bring that confidence to the next person you are attracted to. You’ve got this king! 👑

[–] zeb420@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

Thank you for the kind words!

Despite how empty I feel, I am still proud of myself for finally getting that off my chest. I was wanting to ask for months, but held off because I was scared it wouldn’t work out. As soon as I asked her, I felt like a pallet of bricks was lifted off my shoulders.

My wife managed to get an appointment for an MRI on Saturday morning, so we'll be driving into the city for that on Valentine's Day.

She'll be in there, and I'll be sitting in the car with the service-dog-in-training, Leo. Someday I would expect him to go in with her, but he's not ready yet.

Then we'll come home and she'll fall asleep while I watch movies.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 hours ago

This right here is true love. Rock on.

Please give Leo a little positive attention on behalf of all of us Internet randos who appreciate a good dog doing good dog work, even the rookie ones.

[–] Theatomictruth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nothing much, my wife and I don’t really care about the holiday. We might pull some wild duck out of the freezer for a nice dinner

We got a hotel room with a hot tub. We'll go out for dinner, pick up some drinks, smoke some weed, and soak in the tub.

Taking bae to the vintage computer fair this Sunday then getting dinner after

That is the sexiest plan in this whole thread full of sexy plans.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

Gonna be Carnaval in Brazil (also, we don't care about Valentine's day for whatever reason, our lovers' day is June 12), so I plan on sleeping
