What to Do? Top 5 Recommendations for Valentine's Day

It's that time of year again when love is in the air.  You have the opportunity to show your special someone just how special they truly are.  It can be the beginning of the rest of a wonderful life you will share with the person you love.  Or it can mean the end of what you thought would be the rest of your life with that one whom you felt was special.

Don't blow it!  Yes, Valentine's Day is but one day out of the year.  However, as a woman let me tell you I haven't once ever liked hearing nobody say that.  If you're married always remember happy wife, happy life.  If you're thinking about it this is a great time to get a feel for making your better half happier. 

1.  Dinner:  Yes the bare minimum you can do is dinner.  Me personally, my top choice for Valentine's Day is a romantic dinner at home alone.  I like to put a nice lace tablecloth on the table, candles, chilled wine in a bucket of ice.  The entree to include steaks, salad, baked potatoes, broccoli, rolls, either a cheesecake with cherry topping or a red velvet cake for dessert.  The attire for me, a romantic negligee.  Too bad I don't have a Valentine.  I just know what I like.  It is not a good practice to get into a relationship or friendship just so you won't spend the holiday alone. 


2.  Gift:  You don't really need to be too extravagant everyone is aware of what's going on with the economy.  Now if you're a brother with a whole lot of money we know your money just grew during these tough economic times. 

A ring always tops the list as a great gift for Valentine's Day.  However, if it is just someone special and not someone for the long haul a diamond pendant necklace will do.  You should be able to find one to fit any budget.  Now if you're trying to hook her up with the ring make it a some good bait.

3.  No interruptions.  Does this even have to be stated.  No interruptions means no children, no text messages, no phone calls, no television, no ball games, no best friends, no distractions what so ever.

4.  An element of surprise.  Okay dinner and a gift are normally a given.  However, a little surprise always adds a whole lot of flavor to a romantic evening.  How about a hidden box of chocolates, chocolate covered strawberries, or something underneath a pillow whether it be on the loveseat or on the bed.  Something to show you did a little extra planning to make this evening special.  Maybe put on something special to let her know you were thinking only of her like some black satin pajama pants.  Or solicit the services of  a professional photographer to take a nice romantic photo of the two of you together she can have as a keepsake.  Use your imagination to have something done with class.

5.  Seal it with a kiss.  Not just a kiss on the lips like you've probably already done numerous times before.  Choose to kiss her in a way it will have a last effect by adding a little element of surprise.  Women are emotional beings, we feel, touch, and smell with our heart.  An endearing kiss like somewhere on her face in a spot where you've never kissed her before.  If you have kissed her on the forehead, the cheek, on the lips previously kiss her on her neckline, midway between the nose and the cheek, just anywhere on the face just make it somewhere different.  Make it somewhere you can give her a short sweet peck to show a little spontaneity.  You will probably get a whole lot of kudos for doing something you've never done before.  And on top of that it has a romantic twist to it, short and sweet. 

Whatever you do outdo yourself!  Isn't she worth it?  Don't wait until the last minute to get it together Valentine's Day will be here before you know it.  It is your one day unlike every other day to show your love it is all about the love you have for them and only them.

It's not just another day.  You're not just another man are you?  Get my drift.  Make it happen captain.  Show you woman she's your world.
