Fast Five: Valentine's Tips

You know it's coming. This happens every year. Don't mess it up. Your sweetie wants you to celebrate this date. Here.... I'll help.

1. Ladies... don't stress with trying to craft something or buy something. There's only one thing he wants. Ok, two things. And the first one is a steak. You know the other. A cute t-shirt that says "mine" will NOT cut it.  But the good news is... really, all the pressure is on him this day. And dress to impress.

2. Get a card. It needs to say more than "You're nice. I like you." Don't wait until the 14th to buy that card. Last minute cards are lame. They say "You're nice. I like you."

3. Guys...this is the one day it's cool to be possessive. Yes, it's ok to buy those cheeky panties for her that say "mine."

4. Chocolates. Seriously, don't even think about not buying chocolates. Lots of chocolate. Chocolate is good. Buy chocolates for your kids, your wife, your mother.

5. Dinner**. YOU NEED TO CALL FOR RESERVATIONS NOW. The 14th does not change. Reservations will not be available at the last minute. Take her out for dinner. Call the babysitter now. You are a week away.  Should you get a crappy reservation time... like 5:15pm take it!! Smile, be happy and thank the hostess. Then tell your sweetie you wanted time to take her to a movie after. Or go bowling. Anything. Just be together.  Dinner on the 12th, is NOT VALENTINE'S DAY.

** If your gal says she's taking care of dinner.... you lucky devil. See #1. Enjoy the steak. (But buy her a bigger gift asap)

Notice I did not mention flowers or jewellery. These are not must-do on Valentine's Day, since, of course, you do this on anniversaries & that type of thing... right?
You're welcome ;)
