Valentine's Day, February 14th, is the day that's set aside for telling those you love that you do love them.
It's not a bad idea if you think about it...
We get so busy and so involved in all of our various activities that it's easy to forget to tell that special someone just how special they really are to us.
Celebrating love on a special day is the perfect solution.
There are many ways to say "I love you.
" A romantic dinner for two...
a quiet evening with Champagne toasts to eternal love with beautiful romantic music playing in the background...
a magical vacation to an exotic spot...
sending red roses, chocolates and a romantic card...
giving a gift of heart shaped jewelry...
all of these are special ways to tell your one special love just how much you love them.
One of the secrets of successfully showing your feelings of true love on Valentine's Day (or any other day) is knowing the other person well enough to know exactly what gift to choose.
Showing up on the doorstep of your lady love with a bottle of wine or champagne only to discover that she doesn't drink won't convey romantic feelings.
Giving a gift of large dangling earrings when she would never wear anything but small studs isn't romantic either.
Sending her a large box of chocolates if she's allergic to chocolate isn't going to tell her that you love her.
Instead, these things will tell her that you don't know anything about her and you don't care enough to find out.
By the same token, hastily picking a gift off the shelf at the storetells him or her that you don't find them special enough to take the time to find a truly appropriate and unique gift.
Remember, Valentine's Day is a day for expressing love and love means caring enough to know the other person well enough to choose a giftthat will truly please them.
The more unique and appropriate the gift is, the more you're telling your true love that they really are your one true love.
