A Valentines Day You Can Both Enjoy

By Jay Schultz

Are you prepared for the most romantic holiday of the year?

Valentines days is the day that most men dread and most women love.

In this article we have solved your questions for you and mapped out what you can do to make it a Valentines day both of you will remember.

Let this article be your guide to Valentines day. From the perfect gift, to the perfect dinner, we've got you covered.

Valentine's Day can feel like a potential minefield, especially if you are in the very early stages of a relationship or going on a first date. This article will provide some advice on just how you can successfully navigate the challenges and have a perfect evening.

THE GIFT

Start by selecting the right gift. The right gift symbolizes that you pay attention to the person you care about. The wrong gift symbolizes laziness and not much thought.

If this is one of the very first dates, you don't have to give her a gift. If you invite her out, you should pay for dinner and buy a nice bottle of wine or champagne if your budget allows it (and you choose to drink). If you still feel you must give her something, a small box of chocolates will be appreciated.

Pick out a gift that shows depth. Women know when a man chooses a gift that was not thought out. Being lazy is never a good thing, especially when it comes to Valentines day.

You should know where you are in your relationship and what type of personality the person your dating has. Valentines day is a way to use gifts to heighten romantic situations. Ask yourself the question, "Is this person fun and adventurous and would they enjoy a simple gift like flowers?" "Or is this person risque or wild, someone who would enjoy the fun not-quite-Victoria's-Secret lingerie?" Knowing the person your with, helps when choosing the right gift to give. Think carefully and you will be rewarded for your well chosen gift.

Note: For those readers who are in a more serious relationship, the above gifts are fine as well, but only as a bonus, not the main gift. When it a long term situation, be sure to put some real thought and effort into getting something personal that you know your woman would appreciate.

THE DATE

With your gift in hand, its time to start the rest of your Valentines Day journey. One of the most important things to remember is that the date does not just start at night when you get to her door. Build up romantic tension by appeasing her senses, by sending well though out text messages. Let her know how much you are looking forward to seeing her tonight. Use each text as a count down. Make her excited by telling her that this is not just any date, and that the though of her brings a smile to your face.

You are the exception to the rule. This is the Valentines day you are going to get right. Any guy out there can give flowers and chocolates, and plan a simple dinner. But you are not any guy. You are the guy that made all the right plans. Now you are going to be the guy with all the right moves.

For flowers, an alternative to roses is daisies. Tie them with bright colored spring ribbons and attach tickets for the date. The tickets can vary from inexpensive to lavish depending on your relationship and financial situation. It could be a getaway beach weekend, a concert, play, or just a movie.

THE PERFECT DINNER

Valentines Day is the perfect holiday to bring women over to your house. Tell her that you have something romantic planned. Once she agrees, bring her over and take the romantic aspect of Valentine's Day to a whole new level.

Cooking for a women is one of the most powerful things that a man can do to show that he cares. Choose your ingredients carefully and you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams.

Once the meal is over, surprise her by bringing out a dessert tray. Here are some ideas to consider when choosing a dessert to serve:

Chocolate bars, marshmallows and graham crackers! You can rarely go wrong with making S'mores in the microwave. Even better, cook them over a fire. They're easy to make, taste great, and are just messy enough to provide finger licking opportunities.

Chocolate is one of the most fun and flavorful pieces of food you can use in your dessert for Valentines Day. Mix it up by adding fruit to any melted chocolate and you have a recipe for a night she will remember for a long time.

ON TO THE ROMANCE

After the meal, the time comes for your final surprises. Some of this stuff can be pretty intense - so unless you have been seeing each other a while, use these moves sparingly and wisely. You are about to blow her mind and make this a night she will never forget.

Give her a body massage: sensual, loving, and warm, with special oils (get those flowers and bring them to the massage table). Also provide a warm sheet so she can cover any areas of her body that get cold.

Take time before Valentines Day to plan ahead. A well planned out Valentines Day will be remembered for a long time.
