Five Things for Men NOT to Do On Valentine's Day


1. DON'T expect that giving a nice card and a gift or two should definitely lead to a hot night in bed. They should be the start to a nice evening, not a guarantee.

2. DON'T give a generic card, with just your signature. Instead, write specific reasons you care about and appreciate your "Valentine".

3. DON'T expect that giving a Valentine card to a woman you like is going to move the relationship from "just friends" to "you're the one".

4. DON'T buy generic gifts for the special woman you love, e.g., a Vermont Teddy Bear for a woman who doesn't like stuffed animals; perfume if she doesn't like the scent; chocolate if she's on a diet. Take the time to get something special for her. (And if you don’t know what she wants, there’s no shame in asking for suggestions.)

5. DON’T underestimate how important romance may be for your woman—even if you think it’s silly.
