Is it normal that my boyfriend of did not get anything for me for vday

I know Valentine's day is a quote-on-quote "stupid, materialistic commercial holiday", but this year my bf did not get me anything. We both had a midterm on Thursday (I had the same one plus another), so I told him we should post pone whatever till Friday. I still got him a little teddy and chocolates, but I kinda felt bad about not getting more.
Well Friday came, and he stayed late at work. When he finally came back, I asked where we were going. He said IDK, because he didn't have a car. I am used to the no car deal, but he has a service that he can rent a car for like 5$ per hour which he usually uses. The thing is you usually have to reserve them in advance, and he did not. He suggested Moe's, which for you that are familiar, is a fast food burrito place. I started holding back my tears. I was just so disappointed, it was silly of me, but in the back of my mind I was expected something, a card even, but it really did not seem like he wanted to do anything for me. I guess why it made me feel so bad was because he went alllll out last year. He got me a bear, chocolates, made me a candle-light dinner, got me a bracelet, we had a picnic, martineli's, and he even sprinkled rose petals on the stairway. I was not expecting anything remotely as nice as that seeing we just had a test, but I sure wasn't expecting nothing on top of his demeanor. When he asked me what was wrong, I told him and he said "Oh well, IDK, its just Valentine's.." To top it off, it was too late when we arrived at the restaurant and it closed, so we ate chinese. Is it normal for a boyfriend of 1 year 4 months to not care about Valentine's day like he did before?

    Moe's? Omg that's kind of..uh, horrible. X\

    (Personally I love Chipotle more, Moe's is good though.)

    For some reason this reminds me of A Christmas Story when they end up going to a Chinese restaurant and eat duck instead of ham.

    You can't go all out one year and then think it'll be okay to skip the next 2 Valentines Days. XD It's not hard to go out and get a card and some chocolate, or at least treat you nice! Tell him it bothered you and see what he says. I would feel like a horrible person if my boyfriend got me something/did something for me and I didn't get him anything.

    So boring could not even read it.

    You are probably really boring too.

    Maybe suck his cock evey day and give him yr ass as often as possible and possibly he will buy u a cheeseburger.

    Please don't be so boring.

    It is wrecking the Internet.

    This relationship is fading for him and he is losing interest in you :o( Sorry.

    I understand why you are hurt coz most of us feel the need to play the game of VDay. To tell you the truth, I think he's trying to give you a giant hint that he's no longer interested and is hoping that you will dump him, saving him from dumping you. He can then play the victim that you had a silly reason but in reality he is a miserly coward.

    I think that I might approach him and let him know that you wished you could have done something a little nicer for Valentine's Day. I mean, I'm not big on the holiday, so I've always made it quite clear that I don't need anything special. But if this is something that is bothering you and something that is important to you, you should really talk to him about it. :)

    More than you know... But,sometimes you'll get surprise gifts. Just because your you and he loves, not because it's your birthday or a holiday.
