With Valentines Day today, some may still be panicking to come up with a cute idea. These quick few steps might just make your day a little bit easier.

Step one- First, you need a girlfriend, that’s key.  But no, seriously.

Step two- You need to surprise your lady friend.  One of the best ways to do this is to show up to school and bring her a dozen roses and a box of chocolate.  Yes it may be cheesy, but girls love that romantic stuff.

Step three- Throughout the day, tell her she looks fabulous, compliment her on her hair and outfit.  Just to make her smile, remember, girls expect this day to be special.

Step four-  After school, tell her you have a surprise planned later on in the night, and refuse to tell her, no matter what.  Girls love when you have actually taken time and thought about how you want to spend the evening together.

Step five- If you want to make it really special, you can set up dinner reservations for a restaurant that she has always wanted to go to.
(optional) You can also go the cheaper and more heartfelt route, and cook her a nice dinner, or set up a picnic at your favorite romantic spot.  Even if you are a terrible cook, your lady will appreciate your effort to make it special.

Step six- Take time to clean up nice before you take her out to dinner, showering is a must.  Wear a nice dressy shirt, and make sure you smell nice. Deodorant and cologne is recommended.

Step seven- Arrive at her house on time, don’t ruin the night by being late, and be patient if your date is not quite ready.  It just means that she wants to look perfect for you.

Step eight- During dinner, don’t be messy. Its important to eat like a civilized person, especially if you are eating at a fancy restaurant.  Let your date order whatever she wants, even if it is a little expensive, it will make her happy.  And be sure to leave your waiter/waitress a reasonable tip, you don’t want your date thinking you are cheap.

Step nine- Now its time for the movie.  I would suggest a romantic movie, such as Safe Haven which comes out on Valentines date.

Step ten- When you drop your date off at her house, you can never go wrong with a goodnight kiss.
