It matters not if you are in New York, Los Angeles, or any place in the country or the world. February is one of the most dangerous months of the year for American men. In most cases, forgetting Valentine’s Day could result in chills cooling the warmest of hearts. Not yours Mr. Man but, heart of the woman you are supposed to love and admire. Failure to acknowledge this special day of romance is a cardinal sin (in some circles). This is an attempt to rescue wayward male attention spans from a rude awakening on “V – Day”, before frost bite strikes at bedtime.
Plan “V – Day” for her.
Reasons to make such plans are simple; she wants to know she is not taken for granted. Much too often too many men assume their spouses, or significant other, will take care of it. Women do dozens of little things that add up to a successful house hold operation. Many of these small and easily ignored tasks are not necessarily in their best interest. They perform them in the interest of their man. One of the best ways to show your appreciation is to plan and execute something for her.
It is understood today’s economic climate may require monitoring the out flow of every dime but, much can be accomplished, at little expense. If you can afford it, by all means hop a jet, and celebrate “V – Day” in London, Sydney, or perhaps Hong Kong, or someplace she would deem romantic. However, if finances are limited, restricted, or strained try listening to what she has to say.
I understand making a suggestion like this, is nearing the ranking of unforgiveable coming from a man but, try to consider something. “V –Day” ain’t about you. It’s about her; the better half of you. Now, get over yourself and make her feel like a queen for a while.
A few minor suggestions are in order, if you want positive results. Turn off your blackberry. You are not Barack Obama. You do not need to tell Pelosi and Reid everything you are doing. If you think you can’t be disconnected for a few hours consider this. If you were in a coma, what would the other people do? Get the point. Turn the little sucker off, and pay attention to her.
Next, don’t talk politics or sports to her unless she is really, really into it. If she is, it may lead to where you want to go. Let her talk, and act like you are listening; even if you hate the subject. She may have a better focus on the issue than you.
Don’t talk about things you know little about, unless you are asking her questions and seeking her advice. For example, stay away from literature if you are not a reader and she is. A wrong step in areas of her enjoyment could result in undesired consequences.
Keep a couple of key things in mind. Be creative within the confines of what you think she might like. If she likes it, you will be a special sweet heart. Do not concern yourself about global public health. Your primary objective is her romantic health.
And finally, try to be part of the civil society of humanity. You can embarrass her some other time.

I have tried to offer a few pieces of advice and suggestions. Do with it what you will but, when darkness covers you world on Valentine’s Day – night; let global warming flourish at your house.
