10) Talk to him. Make plans beforehand about this holiday. Don’t put all the pressure on him. To avoid disappointments, have a game plan. Men love someone who can take charge.

9) Wake him up to breakfast in bed. Bacon, sausage, ham; these are a man’s three basic food groups.

8) Don’t worry about him. Men are tough. Sure, show him you care, but he knows this day is for you.

7) Cling to him. But don’t be a tumor, give him space. Men need to breathe, and they can’t always do that with you around. Just because it’s Valentines Day doesn’t mean every second of the day needs to be spent ensemble.

6) Tease him. Men love the thrill of the chase, and if you have been in a relationship for a while it will refresh things in the bedroom.

5) Pamper him. Give him a massage, those muscles get tense. Women aren’t the only ones who need extra care.

4) Challenge him. Men love competition. If you can perform better in some field than he does, it’ll drive him crazy. Let him win most of the time, so he doesn’t go insane.

3) Understand him. Men are like dogs. Give him something to chase, lick, and chew on. Roll around on the ground and go play.

2) Display affection. Demonstrate your fondness with subtle exchanges of public love. Gah-gah couples who call each other “Googlie Bear” and “Sugar Bunny” disgust the world so try casually pinching his bottom and he’ll return the favor or blow him kisses, tough kisses.

1) Take it easy. If he hasn’t said it already, don’t pressure for ‘I love you’ simply because it’s Valentine’s Day. That’s not what the day is for; his actions should speak louder than his words.
