As we all know Valentine's Day is Thursday, so I thought this might help!  It's four tips for how to avoid a complete disaster!

#1.)  Stereotypical gifts like flowers and chocolate are just 'okay.'  Sure, not many women HATE flowers or chocolate, but it can also look like you put no thought into the gift.  Instead, aim for something a little more personal…. like tickets to see her favorite band!  (Maybe win them listening here? :-)

#2.)  Don't ignore it . . . or over-hype it.  Guys, even if your wife or girlfriend says she doesn't want anything for Valentine's Day . . . GET HER SOMETHING.  Because one in eight women who say they don't want a Valentine's gift secretly DO.

3.)  Make the right plans for YOUR relationship stage.  If you just started dating, it can be tempting to go overboard.  But you're better off making plans based on how long you've been together…

 #4.)  Make plans even if you're single.  Valentine's Day can be tough if you're single.  Instead of sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself, do something that makes you feel good.  Maybe get your single friends together for wine and horror movies . . . splurge on a new gift for yourself . . . or renew your New Year's resolution.
