I've never been in a relationship on valentines day, so I am a bit clueless.I am also worried that he may forget or not even know when it is. Hes never been in a relationship on valentines day either. Is there any subtle ways I can remind him it is coming up soon, just in case he has forgotten, and also what should I get him?

 There are very few things in life a guy can do more wrong than to forget a valentines day. No other omission in life will get you into as much trouble. On the other hand there really is no need for a woman to do anything special. At least in my mind it is all about the guy doing something romantic for her.
For us emotionally retarded / x chromosome deficient males this is quite a tall order. Any hints you can give will be appreciated. Often we will need to do some research. If I have any advice for the guys, it would be to ignore the jewelery store. She wants you to spend a lot of time and emotion on the gift. Not money. For the ladies I counsel patience, remember that guys really have trouble thinking that way. So when he buys you a new set of tailpipes for the Harley just smile and know it is the best he can do. To Him it means love.
Personally I'm going with Flowers, Steak, and an Hour long massage. Not exactly traditional, but after 22 years I've almost got her needs figured out.

More excited the better, will make him feel great trust me, as i posted on another question, you should get a long red ribbon, tie a bow in the middle, grab an end each and go ice skating together, express the love.Romance is the only form of true happiness =)GOOOOD LUCK ^.^

Don't worry about doing anything. Why pick one day out of the year to let someone know how much you love them? Do that every day! Plan a day out of the week or month that you want to do something romantic and surprise him, be spontaneous. That's much more appealing than some corporate cliche holiday. Stop stressing about it. Let your loved one know you love them everyday.
