Should I cook for a girl on Valentine's if we're not officially Bf/Gf?

Hey guys,

Basically I know it's still quite a way from Valentine's day but i'm going to try and be organised for this :P

I've been meeting up/dating(if you like) a girl for about 5 months now and we're basically going out together just without the label. We haven't had the 'talk' yet about whether we're going to be bf/gf and at the moment we just kinda know we both like eachother(well I hope she does!). We're both near enough 17 and see each other every weekend and text/call very often.

I just wanted your opinion on whether it would be too weird for me to cook for her on valentines day in a kind of romantic way(candles, food, drink e.t.c or should I leave the candles out? :S). I thought about taking her out but I don't really want to spend lots of money since I would want to pay for it all as I'm the guy and it's Valentine's day on 14 February?

So we are really good friends. We have kissed before and both know/hint occasionally that we like each other. Am I being a fool by trying to cook for her when we're not officially boyfriend and girlfriend(By not official I mean I haven't had the balls to enquire about anything more...).

P.S. I might talk to her before Valentine's day about how we feel about each other and maybe be more than friends

Thanks for reading guys, any opinions would be welcomed :D

Hola from México,

Here we call Valentine's Day ''El día del amor y la amistad'' (love and friendship day)... why is a friend any less important than a boyfriend or girlfriend? You can cook for whoever you want. Just make sure that your feelings toward her, whatever they are, are clear.

YouWish agony auntThat would be AWESOME for you to cook for her!

That is, if you're a good cook. ;)

Cooking isn't a sign of commitment. It's just something ultra-romantic, especially if you have candles and nice dishes and you do it up good!

Yes, though, make sure you both like each other as more than friends. If that's in question, you might want to settle that before the dinner, as cooking in house is really intimate and romantic. If you're not sure if she likes you as more than friends, and she doesn't, it could be awkward.

You don't have to give her any promise rings or anything, but 5 months is plenty of time, and if you've kissed and you both are into each other, than YEAH! Do the cooking!

One word of advice though...covertly find out what kind of food she likes! No sense making steak and lobster if she's a vegetarian, and likewise, if you're making portabella mushrooms if she doesn't like 'em.

Think about what she orders from restaurants when you go out...what she says she likes and doesn't like when it comes to food. Of course, if she's allergic to food or certain foods mess up her stomach, having the romantic Valentine's day dinner ending up with her in the bathroom for 2 hours might dampen things a little!

How old are both of you? If you're under 21, a good bottle of non-alcoholic wine is also romantic. :)

Any girl would have to be extremely ungrateful not to appreciate your idea. It makes us feel spoiled for a day and pampered.
