Okay ~ back to the topic at hand.
It's nice to do a bunch of little things leading up to something sweet and romantic. Maybe doing a countdown to V-Day starting a few days in advance. A little note here, a small token gift there... make it a treasure hunt, or a multiple surprise kinda thing. Maybe 1/2 doz. roses on the 12th, then a full doz. on the 13th, then two dozen delivered personally on the 14th with the request of their company that evening for dinner or a bottle of wine.
Then whatever you two do that night doesn't really have to be a huge event because the build up has kept your Valentine feeling special for longer than just that one day, or the few hours from them getting home to passing out to great oral...
But Valentine's day is about making that one person you most want to appreciate (or all the special people in your life) feel that you recognize their beautiful qualities, and want to celebrate them.
oh God, hold on
I hate when that happends.
