It’s that time again! Just when you are getting over Christmas, the New Year party and football playoffs, here comes Valentine’s day. A day that strikes fear in the hearts of men, pours love in the hearts of women, and makes singles cry or rejoice that they don’t have to put forth anything.

If you are tired with the boring old flowers and candy routine, I have some Valentine’s day ideas that might interest you and put some spark into that relationship.

Propose! Just kidding, although romantic it’s too cliched and women would expect it more then than any other day most likely.

This day is mainly for the women so i’ll lean more towards that aspect. Men are simple and are more worried about pleasing the woman so here we go…

Jewelry! There is only a few women that I have known that didn’t actually wear it, and of course the more expensive the better and better the meaning behind it.

Romantic dinner. Guys, no drive thrus or take out unless you both agree, but a nice dinner out at a classy place with candlelight and maybe dancing will melt her heart. Bonus points goes to the guys who go out and buy her a nice dress to wear for the occasion.

Pampering. Ladies love to be pampered. Whether it would be to send them to a spa, pedicure, manicure, massage or even just a makeover. Anything to make them look or feel good.

Surprise her at work. Bring a dozen roses to her while she is at work. It would make her feel really special and important in front of her co-workers. Either that or stalked if you aren’t really a couple.

Whatever you do, don’t get her unthoughtful gifts like cleaning items or diet stuff. That’s like saying “hey fatso clean the house”. Unless you are in to that kind of thing.

I hope this helped and have a good holiday.
