Teenager praised for what might be the grandest Valentine’s Day gesture ever

This takes confidence, fearlessness and a chunk of cash, but fair play for pulling it off.

If you’re in a relationship, you’re probably hoping your best-laid plans for Valentine’s Day are up to scratch.

You’ve probably planned a meal out, or perhaps offered to cook dinner, while flowers and chocolates will also be on the agenda for many of you.

But Hayden Godfrey, a 17-year-old student from Utah in the United States, went a few steps further.

He celebrated Valentine’s weekend by buying flowers for every single girl in his school on the last schoolday before Valentine’s Day.

The teenager has naturally received plenty of responses to his grand gesture, which set him back $450 (£310).

“I firmly believe no girl should feel excluded on Valentine’s day,” he told Mashable.

With replies ranging from people calling his gesture “awesome”, “incredible” and “the most amazing thing in the world,” it’s fair to day it was received how he’d hopes.
