I'm not sure what to do in this situation. For Valentines I have always gotten my Best Friend a lot of stuff. Huge bouquet of Lavender or Regular Red roses, a teddy Bear, Chocolates, and Perfume. Always a combination of that.She finally got her first boyfriend now that we are in college though. Should I still get her that stuff for Valentines or is it inappropriate. I'm not sure how I should handle the situation. I feel that I've been her friend a lot longer before that guy even showed his face so I shouldn't have to change my habits, but I don't want to cause trouble.And just so you know we've never been romantically involved, nor do I like her, and I'm pretty sure that the boyfriend doesn't know who I am or that I even exist as they just started going out.And theirs no worries about me one upping him because that guys parents are frickin billionaires. And so he has a lot money to use when Valentines comes.So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Personally, I say go ahead. She has always been a friend, and to stop suddenly may seem a bit weird. If the boyfriend actually approaches you about it, just tell him that there is nothing between you. You just like giving her gifts, and it is a common ritual from when you were younger (or voice it as you please, lol)But I don't see why you should stop. Some people may have other opinions, but I wouldn't look at it as a major issue.

I think you should talk to her about it and see how she feels and if she thinks the new beau will mind.

she's your best friend. you should treat her like it and not change what you've always done because of some new guy. i'm sure she feels the same way... if the guy doesn't understand, then she'll just have to explain that you've always done this because you're her best friend and that you're no threat to him. he might at first be jealous or feel weird about it, but i'm sure it won't take him long to see that you're her best friend and nothing more

well if new boyfriend in the picture and long term bf it should be easy to explain that you have a bf and strictly friends. but i think i would omit the roses since that is more of a romantic approach and if new boyfriend also gets roses than it looks more of a competition than a simple friendly gesture and also, i would limit it to chocolate and card teddy and that's it. And as long if sincere in friendship with her and no otteratriative motives than fine and dandy should be no complaints
