The mere mention of the word “Valentine” creates tension and anxiety in most of us men along with visions of cash vanishing from our wallets. If done wrong, Valentine’s Day could end a great relationship or force you into one you don’t want to be in. The following are 5 Tips to making your Valentine’s Day void of drama.
Tip1: Do Something Thoughtful…Not Something Expensive
Most guys get lazy and just do the standard roses and some expensive gift. This is both a waste of money and a missed opportunity to shine. Take a second and think about what your woman really loves and get that for her. I know this is not really what comes naturally to us guys but a few minutes spent here will score you lots of bonus requests in bed, on the couch, on the kitchen floor…or wherever it is you do that nasty thing you do.
Tip2: Make Dinner
Avoid the overpriced Valentine’s Day Price-Fixe Dinner and cook dinner for the two of you. Even if you’re not an amazing cook, choosing something easy that you can handle will make you a star. Women respond to the effort you put in more than the money you spent. Even if the meal sucks she’ll remember that you took time out of your day to do something special for her.
Tip3: Incorporate Her in the Preparation
When you’re making said dinner, have a small part of the preparation in mind for her to do. Before she arrives for your masterpiece you should already be working in the kitchen and have the majority of the things you’ll need laid out. Have some chopping ready for her to do while you enjoy some wine together during prep time. She’ll feel closer to you and more a part of a great evening.
Tip4: If You’re Not In For the Long Haul Don’t Overdo It
This is key. If you just started dating someone and it’s not all that serious yet, don’t feel compelled to make a big deal of Valentine’s Day. Say you’ve got a big presentation to work on that night, a friend’s child that you have to visit in the hospital, a beached whale that you need to rescue, or whatever you need to say but don’t artificially accelerate your entry level relationship because Hallmark Inc. decided this is the time to do it. Enter a relationship only when you’re both ready.
Tip5: Have Fun With It
Make Valentine’s Day whatever you want it to be. Laugh with your girl about the ridiculous extremes that people go to. As long as you’re doing something that’s meaningful to both of you and you take care of your woman throughout the year, you are golden.

Nice. My wife and I married recently and we try to incorporate tips #1-3 into our relationship very often. I feel that I love her more and more each day. I better enjoy that feeling because that feeling isn’t going to last forever, haha.
