It is that time of the year again. It is the time when every man in existence begins to cringe. It is that time when they feel extreme pressure to make a romantic day for their loved one.
This year, why not take some of the pressure off your man and make him feel special. It is only right that you go beyond the standard gift of boxers or chocolate and make it a day of romancing him. After all, guys like being romanced as well.
Go for the stomach
Remember how your mom always said that a way to a man's heart was through his stomach. Take note and make the day a day of delicious food for him. Start with heart shaped pancakes or chocolate chip pancakes. You can even just cook his favorite breakfast in bed, it will set a sweet romantic tone for the rest of the day.
Plan surprises
Guys love surprises too. These can be simple little sentiments throughout the day. You can scheme with co-workers to decorate his office the night before with balloons and streamers to add another shock. You can have his favorite coffee or lunch delivered to his office. Be sure to not get him fired in the process and only do appropriate surprises. You can even talk with his boss to arrange for a day off and plan a whole day of romance.
Plan some adventure
Guys love getting away from reality. Let's face it, they spend most days facing four walls in an office or cubicle. Make them feel appreciated by getting them out. Go to the local party place or arcade. Bring lots of quarters to let him lose himself in video games. If you are lucky, maybe he will buy you something with his tickets. Challenge him to a game of paintball or laser tag. He will like the adventure side of you.
Plan a massage
You know your man the best. If you think he would be uncomfortable, then don't schedule one. However, couples massages have become a good bonding time for couples as they relax their troubles away.
Rent a hotel room
Sometimes guys feel the need to get away as well. Hotels can be a cheap way to get a change of scenery. Book one with a indoor pool and hot tub so you can have some fun relaxing in the water. Order room service for dessert to make the night fulfilling.
Plan a romantic dinner
Guys like to be romanced too. You can plan a picnic in the part or candlelight dinner at home or in his favorite restaurant. Instead of showing with flowers, shower with itunes gift cards, chocolate, coupons for favors, or whatever he loves.
These are just a few suggestions. You know what makes your guy tick. Think back to when you first dated and his likes. Be sure to let him know he is loved and appreciated!
