DON'T FORGET VALENTINE'S DAY

Steve Cole warns:

Guys, don't forget Valentine's Day. Don't blow it off. Don't ignore it. Girls like that day, and expect to be treated nicely and specially that day, and get upset if you don't. A nice card, flowers, and a nice dinner are required. A present (perfume, jewelry, a Victoria's Secret gift card) are ... well, not required, but worth doing.

LONG-MARRIED GUYS: Use Valentine's as an excuse to rekindle a spark that has long grown into a habit. Maybe you are both too old for that silly kid stuff, but heck, try being a kid just one evening and see how much fun it was.

RECENTLY-MARRIED GUYS: Sorry to tell you, but you NEVER get off of this hook.

IN A RELATIONSHIP: Guys, if you've been with the girl a year or more, put a ring on her finger or admit you are never going to and let her move on. Cosmopolitan tells girls to give guys 15 months to produce or ring or they'll dump you. If she's a keeper, KEEP HER.

CASUALLY DATING: Time to make it special and see if there is another level to go to, or if you both need to look elsewhere.

SINGLE AND LONELY: Look around. Is there a girl in the office who is single? Go to her and say "Look, I'm alone, and if you're alone, let's get some dinner together and have a nice chat. It doesn't have to go any further, but if we both get back into the dating pool, maybe next year we can double date with real dates. It's got to be better than watching television by yourself." You never know. You might discover something you didn't know. Maybe in an hour of pleasant conversation, she will realize you'd be just perfect for a friend of hers. Don't go into it hoping to get lucky and you won't be disappointed, but girls are kinda fun to talk to even if no romance is involved.
