So SO asks me "What did the ladies on your forum get for Valentine's Day". I tell him "Lots of them got flowers...I never get flowers .." Then he tells me that next time he'll buy me flowers and not textbooks. What do you think?
I think it was good you told him about what others got. Maybe he doesn't really know how to go about choosing gifts. I know my brothers have this problem and I always help them. Your book sounds challenging!
