B a Valentine: FOR THE FELLAS

Valentine's Day Tutorial: FOR THE FELLAS

Ladies, forward this to your man, your brothers, uncles, friends, foes and the like. Fellas, take notes. No matter what your girl says, she wants to celebrate this Hallmark holiday with the rest of them. It's not about breaking the bank or planning for months, but it's about doing a small gesture to say "I'm happy you're in my life." Plus, V-Day is the perfect holiday to earn a few brownie points whether you're married, engaged, dating, or just in that "I want to get to know you better" phase. Here are a few ideas...

GIVE INTO ANYTHING, AT LEAST ONCE...

One of my best V-Day’s was when my then-boyfriend gave in to my many pleas to watch The Notebook (for my 4th time) on DVD. It was sweet, and it was the only gift I wanted that that year.

BOOK A ROOM...

Don’t have enough vacation days to fly away? Woo your boo with a night away from home in a luxury hotel suite. Spring for room service and just enjoy a romantic night in your hotel-provided terry-cloth robes.

TEACH HER A LESSON...

Put your girl on to something new. There’s nothing sexier than a man who can show you a thing or two. Dance lessons, a wine tasting, or even a cute potting class will allow you both to discover something new – together.

INDULGE HER FETISH

Ever give your girl a hard time for her addiction to Sex and The City or even her affinity for red bottom’s. Succumbing in to your girl’s main fetish is the ultimate way to say I love EVERYTHING about you, including the crazy, quirky things that don’t make any sense. You might as well jump off the deep end with her now!

MAKE HER A SWEET TREAT...

Baking a homemade sweet treat is a delicious and unexpected way to put a smile on your girls face. The most manly of men look the sexiest when stepping outside the box (even if it’s Betty Crocker) for their girls.


V-DAY STANDARD: FLOWERS

I said it last year, and I’ll say it again. Flowers are a mandate. Fellas, please shower your lady with something fresh and colorful in the form of a flower. Please don’t let your girl be the one at work with no flowers. All her co-workers will be like “oh, damn, I thought she had a man.” But really, there’s no better feeling than seeing your mail guy come down the hall with a fresh vase of buds with your name on it. It never gets old!!
