- by Julie Hunt
Forget the mass marketed, red
hearted Valentine Day pressure that starts heating up about now.
Steer clear of high priced flowers, tasteless candy hearts and
stuffed bears. Follow these tips to make the woman you love feel
cherished.

Tell her Valentine's Day means
more than romance and gifts. It means she'll be the focus of
your caring attention, dutiful doting and loving affection.
1. Concentration is the Name
of the Game. Guys, you have an amazing ability to focus and solve
problems! Focus on how special she is to you. Instead of stressing
about the perfect Valentine’s gift, think about all the
fun, silly, spunky, sexy, serious and loving things that she
does for you. Chances are she’s doing exactly what she wants
you to do in return. Think about who she is. What makes her smile?
What she is truly passionate about? What small little things
could you do at home every day that would make her feel more
loved?
2. Under Promise and Over Deliver.
Make promises early and make them often…just keep them.
No emergency is more important than her love. Show your love
and respect for her by honoring your time together and your commitments.
Leave work early and call her on the way home and tell her you
just couldn’t wait to see her. Ask her if she’d like
you to pick up something special before you get there. |

3. Be a Mirror. We reflect the world
around us… the good, the bad and the ugly. Be mindful of
her moods. When she approaches you with love and joy, mirror
it back to her and she’ll feel especially loved and close
to you.
4. Note It. Love notes are a
sure way to inspire a loving connection everyday of the year.
They don’t all have to be sappy poems. Buy a calendar, keep
it in the bathroom and write a reason a day that you appreciate
and admire her. Follow her to the store or the dry cleaners and
leave a note on her car in the parking lot. Drop them in her
purse or write them on the bathroom mirror with a dry erase pen
for her to wake up to.
5. Dream Date. Take her on a
dream date that won’t cost you a dime. Tell her the only
topic of conversation is to hear about her dreams. What she loves.
What she wants to do before she leaves the planet. What she’d
like to learn. Where she’d like to travel. Who she most
admires. Let her talk freely without stopping then write a few
down later and help her create her dreams.
6. Use Actions and Words. Show
her how much you love her by going out of your way to do little
things and then reinforce it by telling her. "I’d be
happy to _____ because I want to show you how much I appreciate
you" or… "I knew you’d feel special coming
home to _____" or… "I wanted to show you how much
I love by _____"
7. Hugs for Health. 4 hugs for
survival. 8 hugs for maintenance. 12 hugs for growth. Each and
everyday.
8. Bon Appetite. Cook her favorite
food. Pick up restaurant delivery on the way home or have one
of the online gourmet delivery options deliver a 5 course meal
to your doorstep. Dim the lights. Play Sinatra or another one
of her favorites and tidy the kitchen up too!
9. Sleep Tight Wishes and Bedtime
Kisses. Make the very last moment of her day special by kissing
her softly, accommodating a simple request like water or Kleenex,
pull the covers up to her chin, touch her forehead and tell her
you love her. Give her a kiss on the shoulder first thing in
the morning too.
