<p>One day that most modern girls look forward is Valentine&#8217;s Day. Coming once a year, a romantic moment to look forward to can sometimes be the best moment in your life that you could never forget. Here are a few things that could spice things up&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Exchange really, really romantic love notes</strong>: This is the most common and popular way of expressing your feeling to the one who sets your heart on fire. Nothing too corny like the lines you get off the internet and nothing too outdated( might work, but not always). Think of how you feel and try to be as honest about your feelings as possible and come up with something catchy.</p>
<p><strong>Get some red roses and few gifts: </strong>Get a bouquet of red roses. The most romantic thing that you could come up with. It&#8217;s sure to bring a big smile and a long hug and a kiss if you give it to her at the right time and at the right moment. Get her a box of her favorite chocolates. Maybe something small and cute can also be added, like a small teddy bear or a cute key-chain or a small flower-vase. Anything to give a little extra something to say that you care.</p>
<p><strong>S</strong><strong>pend the day together</strong>: Hang out. Set out a list of things to do together and set a time to meet up. Don&#8217;t oversleep (worst thing you could ever do&#8230;). Brush those pearly whites, take a shower, a little deo, something smooth and comfy to wear and you&#8217;re set. But before you go, don&#8217;t forget to check your wallet. You can never say how the day might turn out. Meet up and roam around your favorite hang out spots that you two share. It could be the beach or a walk in your favorite park. Or go for a road trip to somewhere close by, like a hill overlooking the city or the sea. Watch the sunset together if it&#8217;s possible. Or go to the top most floor of your apartment and watch the sun set( that is if you don&#8217;t have an ocean next to you).</p>
<p><strong>Spend time in each others apartment</strong>: This is for those who live in apartments, obviously. Spend time cleaning up each others place, or cook each others meal. Take a nap listening to music or looking at old photo albums. Order take out and watch a late night movie. Type of movie is of your choice, something that both of you are comfortable watching. Doze off in each others arms if the movie get&#8217;s too boring.</p>
<p><strong>Go out for dinner: </strong>Think of the most romantic restaurant within your budget. But then again, why not go a little extra special by taking her to a really classy restaurant? After all, Valentines Day comes only once in a year. Tell her that you have something special planned out in the evening and tell her to put on the favorite and prettiest dress. Plan every moment carefully leaving no room for mistakes, cause you wanna make this really special, see? Pick out your outfit for the evening, something either really snazzy or something that gives out a calm look, something that say&#8217;s,&#8217; I&#8217;m in for a easy, smooth evening&#8217;. Pick her up. Not to early or too late. You shouldn&#8217;t make her panic by reaching too early, nor make her wait by reaching too late. Leave early if you feel you might get late on the way.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Be a Gentleman</strong>. Open and close the door for her. Let her lead the way. Pull the chair out for her( don&#8217;t forget to push it back for her to sit&#8230;). If it&#8217;s possible to arrange something with the hotel manager to arrange something like a special cake or a well decorated table with scented candles of a bowl with flowers floating around. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Make special effort with your table manners.</strong> Do take care that you don&#8217;t do anything rather offensive or particularly nasty, like a big burp that could blow away her makeup. But don&#8217;t make it obvious by handling the cutlery in a very careful manner or anything of that sort. Either have dessert there or take her to Baskin-Robbins or Cold Stones for her to have her favorite ice cream. Go for a spin in the city and then finally take her back home. One final kiss to end the day. What comes after is up to you&#8230;</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s pretty much everything, i guess. Have a romantic and safe Valentine&#8217;s Day. Make it your best and most of all, have fun doing it&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/psykochatter/2265129972/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t310/maina231/2265129972_8715d8b6d0.jpg" alt="10 things NOT to do on Valentines Day" width="500" height="382" title="10 things NOT to do on Valentines Day" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s that time of year when love is in the air and people are constantly shot down by cupids arrow. People celebrate Valentines Day to pay tribute to Saint Valentines undying love for his mistress. While many guys succeed in winning over girls heart, there are some who only manage to make fools of themselves. Here&#8217;s a funny take on 10 things NOT to do on Valentines day.</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> We all have someone who we secretly love and on valentines day cards are the best way to express it. But do not sent a card to him/her through a common friend, especially if the card says &#8220;CALL ME (in red with your number next to it).</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Its good to send intimate cards to your girlfriend, but DON&#8217;T send cards like:-</p>
<p>&#8220;Roses are red, violets are blue.</p>
<p>Since the time i saw you, i knew i was in love with you&#8221;</p>
<p>P.S. Wana try anal?</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Don&#8217;t buy her a bunch of carnations and say &#8220;My bad. But the red roses were too damn expensive!!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Take her out for an expensive dinner but when the bill arrives then DON&#8217;T say &#8220;God damn!! I could have drunk 5 beers for this much! And I&#8217;m not even getting laid tonight!!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>5. </strong>When you spend the day with her or take her out for dinner then DON&#8217;T wear a t-shirt reading &#8220;I&#8217;M WITH STUPID&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> Guys love to give girls sexy thongs with an intimate note. But avoid notes like &#8220;Your sister looked really sexy in it, so I thought you would too! Hope you like it. And don&#8217;t worry, I washed it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>7.</strong> DON&#8217;T give 10 different girls the same card and think that they will never find out, because trust me. They will, they ALWAYS do!</p>
<p><strong>8.</strong> It&#8217;s great to have music on while having sex, it makes things even more sensual then before. But avoid playing bands like Cannibal Corpse or Lamb Of God, it wont make her have multiple orgasms.</p>
<p><strong>9.</strong> You should always be a gentleman when you&#8217;re with her on this special day. If she accidentally slips on a wet floor then it&#8217;s best not to say &#8220;You got served, Biatch!!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>10.</strong> It goes without saying that you should always use a condom while having sex. But for fucks sake DON&#8217;T buy cherry flavored condoms. It&#8217;s not romantic, it&#8217;s just wrong&#8230;plain damn WRONG!</p>
<p>These are just some of the things that you should not do on this special day, but i guess its up to you to screw things up and find out for yourself. And please find out things you can add to this blog. If nothing goes right then you can always look yourself in the mirror and say &#8220;Well&#8230;Shit happens!! I always have my right hand&#8230;&#8221;</p>
