Step 2: Love her friends and family
No matter how great you think you are, you’re not the only person in her life. Her family and friends are also important to her. Remember key facts about them, such as their names – so you avoid saying things like ‘oh her, the fat one with the hair’

Try and make them your friends too. This way, when you screw up and she runs crying to them, you’ve got someone on the inside. Remember hell hath no fury like a woman’s friends.

Step 3: Be a man
In the olden days, it was all about be a mans man, then it was briefly about being a woman’s man, now its about being the perfect man. The operative word here is ‘man’.
Sure you can carry her bag, open doors, and pump iron,
But can you be supportive and facilitate her ability to achieve? Has she got a new job? Give her a call. Has she written a poem? Read it. And if she’s afraid of the dark? Be the one who turns on the light.

Step 4: In the bedroom
When it comes to bedtime, and matters of the night you need to be play your woman like a piano – you can play a soft sonata, some freeform jazz, or a drive time power ballad. Whatever song she’s in the mood for, play it well and you’re bound to get an encore.

Step 5: Surprise her
Take her out for dinner! Buy her some flowers! If it’s been a good month treat her to a mini-break! This last option is fantastic, as it gives her ample opportunity to reward you.

Step 6: Be hygienic
The perfect man is the wind beneath her wings not the wind beneath the duvet. Be respectful, contain and disguise your bodily odours. She does it, why can’t you?
Shower regularly, always brush your teeth and stay well groomed.

Top Tip: Deodorant is for after the shower, not instead of it.

Step 7: Be faithful
If you’re with this girl it’s for a reason, decide early if you’re serious about her, and then never ever mess around.
Done
Have fun with your girlfriend.

Calling up your other single friends and going dancing is a great way for a single girl to celebrate Valentine’s Day in style. You and your friends can get dressed up and head out to a local nightclub together to spend the evening dancing. Many women will actually find they have a better time doing this than going dancing with their boyfriends because their friends are more likely to want to dance all night long. When they go out with a boyfriend the boyfriend may want to spend more time eating or drinking than he wants to spend on the dance floor. However, single girls who are out on the town often spend hours and hours dancing when they go out and barely take a break all evening.

Another fun idea for single girls on Valentine’s Day is to host a movie night at your place. You can invite over all of your single friends and rent a few romantic comedies. Instead of being sad and depressed you and your friends can watch the movies and make fun of all of the couples in the movie. It may not be the nicest or the most mature thing to do but it will help to prevent you and your friends from feeling depressed during the evening. Or if you prefer you can rent other types of movies such as horror movies or comedies. These will help to keep your mind of the fact that you are single on Valentine’s Day.

Single girls on Valentine’s Day can also have a great time by organizing a matchmaking game. You can call up all of your single friends and ask each of them to bring a single guy to your house for a get together. You can serve light appetizers and have music playing to keep the guests entertained. You can also purchase board games designed for use by couples and match up your single couples to play the game. Answering the questions will probably be pretty hard because the couples will not really know each other but it will be a fun way for some of your single friends and the friends of your friends to get to know each other.

Another way for single girls to celebrate Valentine’s Day is to simply go out to dinner. Restaurants can be extremely crowded on Valentine’s Day because going out to dinner is a very popular idea for couples. However, even single girls have to eat on Valentine’s Day. You and your single friends can plan ahead and make reservations for dinner at one of the nicest restaurants in town. You will likely be surrounded by couples celebrating Valentine’s Day but it does not mean you still can’t have a good time. Get all dressed up and maybe even organize an outing to a spa beforehand so you and all your friends can get manicures and pedicures before you head out for the evening. This will help to make your dinner together even more fun because you will have a great bonding experience beforehand. While you are out to dinner with your single friends, start out with some great appetizers, order a few great dishes to share and don’t forget to finish your meal with an awesome dessert. Leave the dinners of salad and water to your friends who are trying to impress their dates and feel free to indulge in some great food while you are out with your single friends.

Couples in a committed relationship, do not usually find themselves alone on Valentine’s Day. For these couples it is generally assumed that unless work or other obligations interfere, they will be spending Valentine’s Day together. However, just because it is assumed does not always mean everything works out as planned. In fact it can be the source of problems for couples around Valentine’s Day. Couples who assume they will be spending Valentine’s Day together may also assume their partner is taking care of making plans for the special day. However, if both of the partners make this assumption, the couple may find themselves spending Valentine’s Day alone because neither of them made plans. To avoid this problem, couples should avoid making assumptions and verbalize their plans for the day.

Couples who have only been dating for a short time may have a great deal of difficulty getting a date for Valentine’s Day and making plans for the day. This is because the partners may not yet feel secure enough in the relationship to know whether or not their partner will want to celebrate the day with them. This can be a turning point in a relationship as the couple tries to determine how they feel about each other and whether or not they want to spend Valentine’s Day together. Couples in this type of relationship should carefully evaluate their own feelings and determine what they are looking for in the relationship before bringing up the subject with the partner. This is a good idea because it helps to ensure the couple is not simply getting caught up in the spirit of the holiday and that they really love each other. If you have only been dating someone for a short time but feel strongly about going on a date with her on Valentine’s Day, go ahead and ask her out. The worst that can happen is she says no. While this may ruin your plans for the big day, it will give you a better understanding of where your relationship stands.

Those who are single may have the most difficult time finding a date for Valentine’s Day. In one scenario and individual may be single but also secretly pining for another they would love to spend Valentine’s Day. In this case, if the person they admire is also single, it is worthwhile to just go ahead and ask her out. Again, she may say no but she also might say yes. If she says yes, you may end up having a great time on your Valentine’s Day date and it may lead to future dates. On the other hand, if she says no, you haven’t really lost anything because you didn’t have plans anyway and you can still plan on getting together with friends for Valentine’s Day.

Finally, if you are single and do not really have someone you want to spend a romantic Valentine’s Day; you can just plan to get together with a good friend or a group of friends on this day instead. Going out to dinner or to a movie is a fun way to spend Valentine’s Day even if you aren’t actually on a date. Valentine’s Day is about love but it doesn’t always have to be a romantic kind of love. You can have a great time on Valentine’s Day with a really good friend and do not always have to plan a romantic date for Valentine’s Day.

A great rule of thumb to go by is if you are not sure where your relationship is going then it is a good idea not to bring your children into the relationship.

When you have started dating through online dating websites and have communicated with your online love in ways other then through the computer and you have met in person more the a couple of times then it is at this point where it would be a good idea to tell your kids that you are in a relationship.

You should fill your kids in on the basic information concerning your online partner. You could tell them about what they do for a living or about their favorite hobbies or a favorite sport they may have in common with one of your kids. You should however refrain from discussing any plans that you might have for the future with your online love. Internet relationships can be wonderful things but unfortunately plans that have been made can literally come apart at the very last minute so do not let your kids in on any future plans unless you are completely certain that nothing will stand in the way of them actually happening.

When you are a single parent your top priority should be making your kids feel safe and loved. If you have a rocky personal life then this is something that your kids should not be involved with. Your kids should not have their world turned on its ear just because something falls through with your Internet romance.

So should you tell your kids about your online relationship? Absolutely not! That is of course unless you and your online partner have a stable relationship and are able to make solid plans together.

1. A meal and a movie – While this is a traditional date and does cost some money, there are ways to make it more budget friendly. Go to a matinee showing of a movie and go to lunch. Lunch is typically lighter and lest costly than dinner and matinees are usually available at discount prices
2. Picnic in the park – This is a great way to have some fun, get some exercise and enjoy one another’s company. You can play football, toss around a Frisbee or hold hands and take a walk. Pack some light snacks and drinks and you have a romantic and fun date.
3. Zoo – Going to the zoo is fun for people of all ages and makes an ideal date. You have plenty to look at and discuss in case you need conversation starters. Also, most zoos have an admission charge but it is generally pretty affordable.
4. School sports – Support your teams by attending school sporting events with your date. Students at the school usually get in for free or at discounted prices. Not only can you have fun enjoying the spectacle of a sporting event but you can show your team spirit.
5. Ice or roller skating – If you are lucky enough to have an ice rink, there is nothing more romantic than holding hands while skating and warming up with a cup of cocoa afterward. If there’s no ice rink available in your location, roller skating is great too. If you are more into outdoor activities, try roller blades in the park.
6. Rent a movie – While you may have to contend with other family members who may be present, imagine how relieved your parents will feel when they know you are comfortable with spending time with them while on a date. You can rent a movie and fix some popcorn. Warn your parents, though, not to be too obtrusive!
7. Study – While studying or doing homework together may not sound like the most fun time you can have, imagine how much faster you will get it done if you do it together. Go to the library, quiz each other and critique one another’s work. You can improve your grades while spending time together. When you’re done doing your studying, reward yourselves with a trip to an ice cream parlor.
8. Arcade – Nowadays there are some fun arcades that have carnival type games, video games and virtual games. This can be a great way to play and have fun. You may also be able to win some prizes as mementos of your time.
9. Bowling – Bowling can be a fun and competitive game on a single date or a group date. It’s not very expensive and can provide hours of entertainment. There are even neon bowling venues for night time bowling with laser lights and pounding music that is great for the younger crowd.
10. Miniature golf – See which one of you is the better putter and can get a hole in one. This is a fun past time and it’s also competitive. You can think of a prize for the winner. Perhaps the loser has to buy the winner dinner.

Time: You can go through hundreds of online profiles and look at hundreds of pictures in the same length of time only one real world date takes and the screening is already done for you. You can tell right away if a guy is only looking for casual relationships or long term commitments. How many times have you worked 8 hours, gone home and spent another hour getting ready to go out then gone to the local hang-out for singles only to see the same old jerks, losers and drunks that are always there?

Money: For the price of one evening out on the town you can enjoy an entire month of meeting men from the safety of your own home….do it in your jammies or sweats and with a beauty facial working its magic.

It works. It really does work if you are willing to do the right things. Write a profile that grabs attention, post recent pictures of yourself, be fun and interesting while chatting with the men you meet on line, answering emails promptly and being on time for a pre-arranged online meeting.
