Does anyone else NOT celebrate Valentines day?

After my board post about how I ruined my first proposal, and with Valentine's day being tomorrow, I'm thinking about doing something special for my man. But it's for my enjoyment too, am I being selfish?

Groupon has a deal (http://www.groupon.com/ch/getaways/deals/ga-m-gaylord-national-resort?c=all&p=0) for a stay at the Gaylord Hotel in National Harbor DC. Now we were there for a New Years party, but didn't stay the night. The hotel is fantastic. Amazing really. It would be a lovely stay, but it only includes the suite ($200), so everything else we do would be extra.

Not that my boyfriend would necessarily propose on this night, but I'm sort of taking the person's advice that told me to plan something for him. Definitely I'm NOT planning a proposal, but contributing to a great night and it might take the stress off of him.

And even if he doesn't propose, he's payed for many a vacation. I could pay for one.

Any thoughts on this? Or is it being too forward like "Hey here's the room now ask me?"

All opinions appreciated..

I think it's a nice thing to do, but without any expectations from him.

I understand that it's not at all your intention to ''Fish for a proposal'' by doing this and that you would just be doing it out of the kindness of your heart....but since you're asking opinions mine is: Don't do it. I'm worried your guy might see it as a ploy or stunt, even though it's not ment to be.

I know how difficult it is to wait!! My SO and I have been planning and making bookings ect. for over a month and I was so scared I'd end up getting ''The ring crazies'' after we picked it out. I've managed pretty good so far, I'm not going to tell you I don't think about it, cause I look at the picture of it every other day and think about it EVERYDAY. I keep telling myself ''I have the rest of my life to look at it, now just chill and wait for him to find the right moment to give it to you''

I know that second part was a little bit side tracked from you question, but I thought it might help you to know that you're not alone.
