Get your sweetheart thinking!

There are so many people out there hoping right now that their significant other is thinking about what to do for them for V-Day. Unfortunately, even if he/she is contemplating options it may not be something that you would like.
Have you considered that your SO (significant other) doesn't have a clue of what to do?  Even if you have been together for years and he knows what you like, there is still a possibility that he is afraid of rejection if he does something out of the ordinary.  But I am confident that he still wants to impress you!


Try this to get ideas going in his head:
Write down 10-20 things that you love about your sweet heart.  It can be anything from a physical attribute that you can't resist to the way he laughs.  Also, write down the things that you would love to do with him.  These could include restaurants that you would like to go to or movies that you would like to see, or even sitting by a pond feeding ducks together.  Any activity that you think would be fun to do with him.  If the two of you once did something that you would enjoy doing again write that down.

Try to interlink the two.  Here are some examples:

If your SO gives great hugs and one of your activities is a picnic you could say:
"I've always thought it would be romantic to take an evening picnic in the park.  Your amazing hugs could keep me warm in any weather as we watched the stars come out.

If you love the way he laughs and one of your activities is watching a movie, you could say something like
"I love watching movies with you and hearing you laugh!"

If you have always wanted to go to the Melting Pot and you love his lips,

"We should go to the Melting Pot sometime so I could see your perfect lips get covered in chocolate!"

Obviously these are cheesy but it will be a lot of fun.  Everyone loves getting sincere compliments.
If I were to write them for MY husband I would say things a bit differently (if you know what I mean).  Nevertheless, you get the drift.

Write these down on something other than notebook paper (my style would be to cut out hearts and write it on the hearts). Hide these hearts (or whatever you choose) in places he will easily find them.  For instance, on his pillow, in a book he reads every night, if you pack his lunch throw it in there, tape one to the steering wheel of his car...etc.  Make sure that you do it at least a few days in advance so that he has some time to prepare.  You can do one a day or all in the same day.  Either way, he will look forward to the next message and hopefully it will inspire something other than flowers and chocolates for Valentine's day!

Keep in mind that the goal here is to improve your relationship regardless of how Valentine's Day turns out!
