She loved it, and I won huge brownie points.

Fast forward a year, and I realize the error in my ways. She's already talking about how amazing last year was, and can't wait to see what I have in store this year. I currently have no idea what I'm going to do this year, but know that I'm going to have to at least match what I did last year so shes not let down.

Moral of Story?
Don't Overdo Valentines Day.
Don't do it. Do something simple. The longer she goes expecting balls out Valentines the bigger the letdown will be when you fail to deliver. Bring her back to reality this year.
