		<description><![CDATA[The whole point of "playing hard to get" is to demonstrate your VALUE to others.  Find out how to get it right.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many men and women in an attempt to create that sense of mystery, unfamiliarity, and the thrill of the chase end up becoming too elusive (playing impossible to get) that the other person assumes they&#8217;re not interested or the other person after a while gets tired, gives up and moves on.</p>
<p>The whole point of &#8220;playing hard to get&#8221; is to demonstrate your VALUE to others and you can&#8217;t do that by being too available (clingy, needy or eager to please) nor by simply making yourself unavailable (saying &#8220;no&#8221; all the time or making yourself too scarce) or even by being overly aggressive ( being manipulative, demanding or controlling).</p>
<p>You demonstrate VALUE by creating a sense of exclusiveness (exceptional and extraordinary).</p>
<h2>Creating that sense of &#8220;exclusiveness&#8221; requires:</h2>
<ol>
<li><b>A wise and intelligent awareness about what you are doing</b>
<p>Look at it this way &#8211; you&#8217;re the owner of a luxurious brand who wants to confer an image of superior quality to a buyer. You are not going to achieve this by using ?open house,&#8221; (I&#8217;m desperate, I will take anyone) or &#8220;permanently out of stock&#8221; (don&#8217;t take calls, cancel dates, try to make him or her jealous etc) methods. You confer an image of superior quality by a good understanding of yourself first and foremost.</p>
<p>Self-awareness is the key. I cannot stress this enough. Self-awareness especially awareness of your sexual imprint (why you are attracted to certain people and not others, why you behave the way you behave, why you fear what you fear, why you believe what you believe and do what you do etc) will enable you direct your energy in positive ways, make the right decisions and maintain balance and moderation.</p>
</li>
<li><b>Knowledge of what appeals to a particular man or woman</b>
<p>Each and everyone of us has a uniquely personalized set of things that naturally attract or repel us sexually and erotically. How do you figure out what attracts or repels a particular man or woman?</p>
<p>One, by asking questions&#8230; lots of them. Ask questions with the intention of finding out what makes him or her tick &#8211; his or her own sexual imprint. And two, by doing things that make him or her feel that you truly and genuinely understand him or her as a unique individual.</p>
<p>When you tap into the deepest and sometimes most forbidden desires, fantasies, and passions of a person, it is possible to spend just five minutes with him or her and create such strong attraction that he or she later on, on their own, recalls the experience with good feelings about seeing and being with you again. It&#8217;s this &#8220;good feelings&#8221; that fuel the chase.</p>
</li>
<li><b>Ability to make someone feel special without seeming too needy or eager to please</b>
<p>If somebody is going to chase you, they want to know with some degree of certainty that you are worth the chase. There&#8217;s nothing that is a bigger turnoff for both men and women than someone who is predictable, not much of a challenge, too rigid or controlling, desperate or too eager to please, incurably negative and downright boring. </p>
<p>The person must feel that you&#8217;re worth his or her time and energy and what he or she is chasing is not something he or she can easily get on the street corner but rather something offered to only a &#8220;privileged&#8221; few.</p>
<p>Men and women want to feel that you&#8217;re valuable and only those who deserve it will earn you as a reward. It&#8217;s kind of like a &#8220;members only&#8221; exclusive club where the person being allowed in feels &#8220;they must be special&#8221;. When you make someone feel special, they in return will feel you are also special.</p>
</li>
<li><b>Capacity to impact on someone&#8217;s life so much that they are positively transformed as a result of knowing you</b>
<p>Really savvy and skilled brand creators take &#8220;exclusivity&#8221; one step further. They just don&#8217;t stop at &#8220;by invitation only&#8221; phase, but instead create an entire lifestyle. That is, they challenge a man or woman pursing them to become more of themselves and do more than they&#8217;d dared to do before. If your words, actions, and behaviours can actually make the person experience a very strong state of arousal, excitement or deep sense of peace creating strong memories those memories will be added to the person?s sexual imprint and so will you &#8211; forever.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Playing hard to get done the right way can be the most powerful form of seduction there is. And we all have the ability to craft transcendent experiences that can make our dates, lovers, and spouses feel they are flirting (literally!) with the unpredictable and the unknown in a most intense, agreeable, pleasing, charming, endearing, enticing, enlivening, and reality altering way.</p>
<p>Who wouldn&#8217;t want to spend eternity with someone like that?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Try #24 right now...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Bury a &#8220;Time Capsule&#8221; together with trinkets, love letters or other romantic sentimental items. Then, draw up a simple map and store it in your safe deposit box. Date the map and decide together when you&#8217;ll dig up your romantic treasure.</p>
<p>2. Create a special music disk together of love or fun songs. Have them ready for those special times together.</p>
<p>3. Plant a romantic note in a book your love is reading. It can be as simple as: &#8220;I love you,&#8221; &#8220;I want you&#8221; or just XOXOXOXO.</p>
<p>4. Next time you&#8217;re at the mall together, jump into a photo booth and take some fun pictures. Keep in your car or in your desk for a quick pick-me-up during the day.</p>
<p>5. Plant a tree together and plan to carve your names in it when it grows big. This can be a fun place to have a picnic or just hang out together; watching the clouds or stars.</p>
<p>6. Stop at a local coffee shop and spend some &#8220;two-gether&#8221; time there, or take a long walk or scenic drive in the county.</p>
<p>7. Send your love a letter at work. You can disguise it in a regular business envelope and it can be funny or/and romantic. Or even a little naughty if you&#8217;re planning a special evening together.</p>
<p>8. Use heart-shaped sticky notes, one or a bunch to post little messages throughout the house or garage to add a little thrill to your love&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>9. Pick up some dipping chocolate and fresh strawberries, cherries or bananas and make tonight&#8217;s dessert incredibly romantic.</p>
<p>10. Take a long drive and stop at a new restaurant, or a deli to pick up a picnic lunch. Spend this time really listening to each other.</p>
<p>11. Name a star together and when you&#8217;re apart; you can look at it and know that your love is waiting for your safe return.</p>
<p>12. Use glow-in-the-dark stars and black lights to create a romantic night sky inside.</p>
<p>13. Create a spa atmosphere at home with candles, essential oils, incense burners, mood music, massagers or other relaxation products.</p>
<p>14. Chocolate, the flavor of romance! Serve chocolate liquor in small glassware as dessert to vamp up a romantic dinner.</p>
<p>15. On a special night, dim the lights and put on some soft music. Then undress leaving a trail of your clothes from the front door to the bedroom.</p>
<p>16. Spend a quiet evening by the fire together. Roast marshmallows or have drinks available.</p>
<p>17. While your love is showering, sneak in and write, &#8220;I love you&#8221; on the steamed mirror.</p>
<p>18. Take a love letter or romantic vacation brochure and cut it into a puzzle. Mail a piece of the puzzle to your love every day or place each puzzle piece on table or dresser.</p>
<p>19. Make a romantic tape recording asking your love to meet you somewhere. You&#8217;ll need confirmation that they can make it so be sure to leave a return number.</p>
<p>20. Next time you&#8217;re walking together, grab your love&#8217;s hand or walk arm-and-arm.</p>
<p>21. Make a &#8220;Prescription for Love&#8221; form on the computer. Then hand write each prescription using words like&#8230;take two doses of love and come see me now, make it more creative and intimate. Re-label an empty prescription bottle with heart stickers and set the blank prescriptions next to the bottle with a pen so you can both play doctor.</p>
<p>22. Create a romantic slideshow using old photos of you and your love. Sort pictures by years and events starting from when you first met until present. Add some romantic music then set a date for both of you to enjoy.</p>
<p>23. Don&#8217;t put those photos away just yet! Pick out the best ones and frame as many as you want to display on the mantel, coffee table or dresser. This grouping will bring back wonderful memories every day.</p>
<p>24. Email greetings. They can surprise, create fun, show affection or entice your love. Send a free greeting anytime; why not send one right now!</p>
<p>25. Purchase an inexpensive romance calendar. Keep track of upcoming romantic dates and events; don&#8217;t use it as your everyday calendar. You can, however, mark a black &#8220;x&#8221; on days that there&#8217;s a family or other event so you don&#8217;t overbook days. Likewise mark your regular calendar with a red &#8220;x&#8221; for romance days. Keep this calendar as a special keepsake when the year is done.</p>
<p>26. Sometimes changing your normal routine can spark romance. Like using candles or mood lighting or bringing home a bouquet of flowers to set the stage for romance.</p>
<p>27. Date night is a must! Maybe a picnic for two or tickets to a ballgame, movie or play. Consider mutual interests so you both have fun or take turns picking the entertainment. Remember, a date doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive; get creative. The idea is to have fun and talk. Schedule a month in advance and don&#8217;t cancel, as it&#8217;s the most important appointment of the month.</p>
<p>28. Each one makes a list of romantic fantasies to share during a upcoming romantic evening.</p>
<p>29. Happy Birthday Banner. You don&#8217;t have to buy one; it&#8217;ll be better when you&#8217;ve created it.</p>
<p>30. A candlelight dinner for two is very romantic.</p>
<p>31. Splurge on some new, sexy lingerie which could be just the thing to give your love the urge.</p>
<p>32. You&#8217;re the star. Have a personalized romance novel created where you star and he&#8217;s the hero.</p>
<p>33. Alone away from home. Send a small gift or flowers to your love&#8217;s destination to be received upon arrival.</p>
<p>34. For a personalized keepsake, consign a local artist to sketch you and your love doing something fun or romantic together.</p>
<p>35. Keep some coins handy so when you pass a fountain, you can both make an impromptu wish.</p>
<p>36. Slip a love note in your love&#8217;s pants or coat pocket.</p>
<p>37. Acknowledge your love&#8217;s interests. Get tickets to an event, i.e., game, opera or concert, you know your love is interested in. Keep the location a secret, however, mark your romance calendar so you both keep this date open.</p>
<p>38. Be extra understanding when you&#8217;re love has a down-in-the-dumps day.</p>
<p>39. Cut small, heart shapes from colored paper and jot down a romantic message on each. Then, take them to a party store and ask the clerk to put one in each balloon before it&#8217;s inflated. Tell your love to pop them as they deflate to find a surprise.</p>
<p>40. Buy a box of Lucky Charms and remove all the marshmallows except the heart-shaped ones.</p>
<p>41. At the mall, split $20 and plan a time and place to meet later. Then split to find secret romantic or seductive items for a special evening.</p>
<p>42. Fill a scrapbook with souvenirs and special mementos of your times together, such as concert ticket stubs, a napkin from a restaurant where you had a special evening together, romantic photos, etc.</p>
<p>43. Take your camera or use the picture option of your cell phone to record your special dates. Lots of people will take your picture if you ask and many times, they are looking for someone to take their picture.</p>
<p>44. Get a hammock, make some lemonade and spend a warm sunny date being lazy together.</p>
<p>45. Design and install a small sitting area at home where you can both enjoy the day and each other.</p>
<p>46. Take a trip to a winery. Don&#8217;t forget to take the tour and buy a bottle for reminiscing at a later date.</p>

<p>48. Rent a funny movie.</p>

<p>50. Pamper your love by warming bath towels in the dryer for a few minutes.</p>
<p>51. Move those candles into the bathroom for a candlelit shower.</p>
<p>52. Put a note on the remote. &#8220;Come, turn me on,&#8221; may be the start of a special evening.</p>
<p>53. Pamper her and go to a chick flick; hold hands and let her cry if she wants to.</p>
<p>54. Plan a romantic trip and you&#8217;ll find that half the fun is in the planning.</p>
<p>55. Spend a day at the beach&#8230;.at home. Decorate an area with a beach or Hawaiian theme. Get some coconuts, lounge chairs, beach towels and maybe even some sand. Don&#8217;t forget the tropical drinks and food.</p>
<p>56. Spray a heart shape in the grass so your love knows you care. Or use your lawn mower to cut one out.</p>
<p>57. Stargazing is fun, so buy an easy-to-follow book so you can both enjoy the sparkling sky.</p>
<p>58. Buy a smoothie maker and make a couple Pina Coladas or Daiquiris (alcohol or non), then pick a spot in the yard, throw down a blanket and enjoy your very own deserted island.</p>
<p>59. Drive to a nearby town and walk hand-in-hand to enjoy the sights, shops, restaurants or nightlife.</p>
<p>60. A moonlight picnic for two might be just what you need to set the stage for romance.</p>
<p>61. Plant some favorite flowers and when they bloom, you can pick them for your love.</p>

<p>65. Stock up on hot cocoa, tea and popcorn for the cooler months when you just want to snuggle up together.</p>

<p>67. Gently blindfold your love and lead into the bedroom for some soft, sensual pleasure.</p>
<p>68. Resolve to become more romantic and you will.</p>
<p>69. Get a small box and decorate with hearts and flowers. Then start throwing in your small bills and change so you will have lots of &#8220;fun money&#8221; to spend when the mood is right.</p>
<p>70. Jot down those romantic ideas as you think of them for future reference.</p>

<p>76. Write a love note and place in plastic bottle to slip into her bubble bath.</p>
<p>77. Spice up your notes and love letters by referencing a Thesaurus. For example, other words for &#8220;love&#8221; could be devotion, passion and affection.</p>
<p>78. Mail a postcard to your love with a hand-drawn &#8220;I Love You&#8221; heart.</p>

<p>81. No matter how bad your day was, always give a smile or kiss to your love.</p>

<p>83. Give your love a compliment when you can. Some example; that was a great dinner, you&#8217;re really good at balancing the checkbook, I couldn&#8217;t have done it without you or you look good in that outfit.</p>
<p>84. If you aren&#8217;t, get healthy together. Take that evening walk together, find out what healthy foods you both like and plan some healthy meals together.</p>
<p>85. Spend some time in the kitchen together preparing a meal or cleaning up.</p>

<p>87. Surprise your love with a kiss when least expected. Say, &#8220;I Love You.&#8221;</p>
<p>88. When using massage oil, pour on hands and rub them together to warm up the oil before applying.</p>
<p>89. If you&#8217;re not sure of what romantic things your love would like to do, start off with some things you would find romantic.</p>
<p>90. Take your love dancing and ask the DJ to dedicate a slow romantic song to your love from you. Then dance the night away. Or, call in to the radio station to dedicate a special love song to your love.</p>
<p>91. Leave a love note in your love&#8217;s car where it will be readily seen.</p>
<p>92. If you have a &#8220;Honey Do List,&#8221; add some &#8220;special&#8221; things you would like your honey to do with you.</p>
<p>93. If possible, offer to help your love when it comes to home repairs or general fix-it projects that might have been a one-person job before. This is quality time spent together and will reduce the time it takes to get the job done.</p>
<p>94. Make a &#8220;Why I Love You&#8221; list of your love&#8217;s best qualities and jot down in a simple, handmade birthday, anniversary or other card.</p>
<p>95. Spend a few minutes daydreaming about your love and the romantic things you want to do together.</p>
<p>96. Invite your love to join you for a drink and talk about a romantic vacation that you would both like to take if money was no objective. Be as detailed as possible and maybe you will find that you could enjoy some of those dreamy plans without spending big bucks.</p>
<p>97. Don&#8217;t forget to say, &#8220;Thank You&#8221; when your love does those little things for you.</p>
<p>98. Start each day by thinking about all the good things in your life. Then keep that positive feeling flowing throughout the day by staying upbeat and helpful.</p>
<p>99. Always be considerate of your love when at a social or other type of event. Plan to spend some time together during the event.</p>
<p>100. When your love is sick, take some extra time to make things as comfortable as possible. If a doctor appointment is made, offer to drive and to stop at the pharmacy if a drug is required. Make sure there are plenty of liquids available and offer to put together a simple meal, like toast and soup.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[She will never forget a kiss like this!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More often than not, the first kiss is the clincher for couples; it is the one that helps them make up their mind on whether they wish to kiss the opposite person again. Here are seven great kissing tips to help young men make their first kiss a memorable one and then build upon that success. </p>
<p>
<ol>
<h3>
<li>Make it Romantic</li>
</h3>
<p>Women prefer the charms of a seductive and romantic kiss that takes place in seclusion rather than a quick one in a situation that may lead to embarrassment. The kiss need not always start with a lip-lock. Small kisses on the eyelids, nose, and cheeks can set the mood for a sweet French kiss. </p>
<h3>
<li>Keep the Momentum</li>
</h3>
<p>This can mean a lot of things, all of them guaranteed to heighten the kissing experience. Either partner can be the tease and break away from a kiss just that bit early leaving the other one asking for more. </p>
<h3>
<li>Caress Her</li>
</h3>
<p>Women often like to be caressed while kissing. You can start by caressing her hair from her forehead to her neck behind her ear and then gently feel her back. Alternate between using the full face of the palm and your fingertips. </p>
<h3>
<li>Use your Tongue</li>
</h3>
<p>Learn to use your tongue skillfully while kissing. Circling the tip of your partner?s tongue with your tongue lightly takes both partners further down the road to intimacy. Flick your tongue over hers; surprise her with your dexterity with your tongue. Sucking your partner?s tongue while kissing is considered incredibly erotic by some (But be careful! Some women don?t like it). </p>
<h3>
<li>Experiment</li>
</h3>
<p>There are several ways in which couples can add spice to their kissing experiences. Peppermint and chocolates add flavor to a kiss; partners can try to pass a small ice cube between their mouths while kissing; the roof of your partner?s mouth is highly sensitive and feeling it lightly with the tip of your tongue is bound to offer a pleasant surprise to your partner. </p>
<h3>
<li>Ask your Partner</li>
</h3>
<p>The most important aspect of any intimate experience is the comfort level with your partner and kissing is no different. Ask your partner about what constitutes her dream kiss, learn about what she likes in a kiss and try to give it to her in your personalized way.</p>
<h3>
<li>Hygiene</li>
</h3>
<p>The importance of oral hygiene cannot be overstated. For all your kissing skills, it is critical that your breath is clean. This assumes greater significance if you plan to get romantic with your partner after eating. It is best to have a breath freshener at hand for such occasions. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Telltale signs that he's probably very interested.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you actively flirting with a guy you see frequently but having trouble knowing for sure whether he might want to get together? It can be frustrating not knowing whether he may feel the same way as you do. Wouldn?t it be great to be able to read his mind? While that may not be possible, there are a number of telltale signs that he is probably very interested. Here are 7 of those signs: </p>
<p><b>Sign #1: He uses your name often when he speaks to you:</b> If he likes you, your name is literally music to his ears and he will want to say it often. It makes him feel good to say your name. </p>
<p><b>Sign #2: He tends to brush up against or touch you:</b> Those little innocent brushes in the hallway or light touches on the shoulder at your desk are not by accident. They are ways of being closer to you and are a prelude to more intimate physical touching. </p>
<p><b>Sign #3: He ignores you at odd times:</b> If he is unsure about how you feel about him, he may actually try ignoring you at certain times. He may be nervous about what to say, or he could be afraid that you will catch a glimpse in his eyes of how he really feels about you. </p>
<p><b>Sign #4: You are good friends but he avoids talking about his love life:</b> If you two are friends but he wants more, he may conspicuously avoid telling you about whom he is dating or he may leave key details out. This is a classic sign that he is trying to protect your feelings and also that he is trying not hamper the possibility of dating you in the future. </p>
<p><b>Sign #5: He tends to ignore other women when you are around:</b> For example, if there are three attractive women in the room and he is giving you by far the most attention, that is a huge sign that he likes you. </p>
<p><b>Sign #6: He looks for your reaction first when he tells a joke:</b> If you are in a group situation and he tells what he thinks is a funny joke, he will give his first eye contact after the punch line to the person on whom he has a crush. </p>
<p><b>Sign #7: His close friends ask you about whom you are dating:</b> Do you find that his friends have asked you about your love life? They may be trying to find out more information and then feeding it back to him so that he can stay informed. </p>
<p>Once you know are fairly sure that he likes you, it is time to take action. Put together a step-by-step plan for <a href="http://www.getromantic.com/singles/for_women/the_key_to_attracting_men.html">getting him to fall for you</a>. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your plans for a special date night involve a home-cooked romantic dinner for two, don&#8217;t miss our guide to romantic dinners below.  Keep in mind that romantic dinners aren&#8217;t just for Valentine&#8217;s day and anniversaries&#8230;with our guide you can make any meal romantic!</p>
<p><b>Part 1:</b>  <a href="#plan">Planning and Preparation</a></p>
<p><b>Part 2:</b>  <a href="#atmosphere">A Romantic Atmosphere</a></p>
<p></p>
<p><a name="plan"><br />
<h2>Planning and Preparation</h2>
<p></a></p>
<p><b>Impress Her With an Invitation</b><br />
Send an invitation to your sweetheart instead of calling them up and inviting them over the phone.  Create this by hand with a fancy piece of stationary or a blank card.  Be sure to include the date, time, location and dress code.  You may be tempted to surprise your honey by not telling him or her what you have planned, but that could spell disaster.  If they don&#8217;t expect food to be served they may eat a full meal before meeting you.  So make sure they know that this night will include dinner.</p>
<p><b>The Secret to Choosing What to Make</b><br />
Instead of consulting &#8220;romantic meal&#8221; menus when deciding what to cook, ask your partner what his or her favorite meals are.  It doesn&#8217;t matter how much of an aphrodisiac oysters are, if your sweetheart doesn&#8217;t like oysters, your plan won&#8217;t work.  Once you find out what their favorite meals are you can search the Internet to find the recipe.  Try <a href="http://www.cooking.com">cooking.com</a>, they test all their recipes and usually include a picture.  If her favorite meal is a childhood favorite, call her mother for the recipe.  Keep in mind that preparing their favorite meal will score you more points than a recipe randomly chosen out of a book.</p>
<p><b>What To Wear</b><br />
Dress to impress.  If the room, the table and the meal is going to be fancy shouldn&#8217;t your attire also fit the bill?  Tell your sweatheart to wear something extra nice (such as a skirt, a cocktail dress, a suit, khakis and a sweater).</p>
<p><b>More Food Tips</b><br />
Plan ahead so that everything on your plate is ready to be served at once.  Jumping up throughout the meal to stir your vegetables just isn&#8217;t romantic.</p>
<p>If you will be serving a dessert, we suggest preparing it earlier in the day so that it will be ready to eat whenever the meal is over.</p>
<p>Wine is a traditional compliment to a romantic dinner&#8230;but not everyone drinks wine.  Optionally replace it with cider or an immitation wine that is alcohol free.  These can be found in the grocery store and in some liquor stores, they are usually quite nice.</p>
<p>Finally, cooking together isn&#8217;t all that unromantic.  Imagine kissing your partner&#8217;s neck while they chop veggies, hugging him from behind while he stirs the pasta and stealing kisses during idle time.  Throw in some mood music and great conversation&#8230;now cooking together doesn&#8217;t sound too bad does it?  For a really special occasion, such as Valentine&#8217;s Day or an Anniversary I would stick with you serving and pampering her and nix on this idea.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a name="atmosphere"><br />
<h2>A Romantic Atmosphere</h2>
<p></a></p>
<ul>
<li>String white christmas lights wherever you can:  along the fireplace, around a door or window frame&#8230;but don&#8217;t string them around something you don&#8217;t want to draw attention to, such as the kitchen cupboards, a cluttered shelf, etc.
</li>
<li>If your romantic dinner has to take place while it is still light out, cover your windows with black bags and close the blinds so that no light will seep through.
</li>
<li>Use candles, but avoid the scented kind so as not to overwhelm the wonderful aromas of your meal.
</li>
<li>Have music playing softly in the background.  Have a few CD&#8217;s preprogammed into your stereo, or set out so you don&#8217;t have to riffle through your collection when one finishes playing.
</li>
<li>Set up the table in the most romantic room of your house.  Often this is not the kitchen, not to mention that looking at all those dirty pots and pans can be distracting.  Your first choice should be in front of the fireplace if you have one.
</li>
<li>Use your nicest dishes.
</li>
<li>Use fabric napkins if possible, and make sure they are free of stains.  For a nice added touch, roll each napkin losely, put a small rose on top of it then tie them together with a piece of ribbon.
</li>
<li>Turn off the phone, cellphone and pager.
</li>
<li>Use a clean table cloth and sprinkle it with rose petals or heart shaped confetti.
</li>
<li>Fill two wine glasses almost to the top with water and place a floating candle on top.  This makes a nice table decoration
</li>
<li>If you think your after dinner plans may end up in the bedroom then have it prepped with rose petals on the bed, unlit candles by the bed with matches within reach, white Christmas lights strung along the bed posts.  And make sure the bedroom is clean and there are fresh sheets on the bed.
</li>
</ul>

		<description><![CDATA[Every woman in North America is PRIMED to have her femininity ignited on February 14th - are you ready?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK I have a confession to make to you. I have to admit that Valentine&#8217;s Day has this way of sneaking up on me every year. So THIS YEAR, I&#8217;m going to be intentional about giving you ENOUGH TIME to prepare for this the most infamous of holidays &#8211; at least as far as your relationships with women go.</p>
<p>Now sure, you know that deep down I&#8217;d love to join in the chorus of &#8220;macho&#8221; pickup and seduction experts that suggest you &#8220;just say no&#8221; to Valentine&#8217;s Day and just tell the chick(s) you&#8217;re seeing that you don&#8217;t &#8220;celebrate&#8221; it.</p>
<p>Man, would I love to join that chorus.</p>
<p>After all, like I&#8217;ve shared in the past (as in, say, maybe a little under a year ago?) this is yet another holiday that appears to have been relegated to little more than a marketing bonanza for the diamond industry. And this no sooner than you swallowed hard and paid the credit card bill from Christmas.</p>
<p>But this time, I&#8217;ve done some thinking. And I&#8217;m all but sure that The Leading Man would rather take back Valentine&#8217;s Day in a brazen coup than surrender it to commercialism andâ€¦God forbidâ€¦&#8221;Mr. Nice Guy&#8221;.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right, instead of whining about how Valentine&#8217;s Day forces us guys to &#8220;put a woman on a pedestal&#8221; or something, I exhort you to MAKE YOUR OWN RULES this year.</p>
<p>Embrace Valentine&#8217;s Dayâ€¦but make like Frank and do it YOUR WAY.</p>
<p>I say this because you, as a &#8220;Big Four&#8221; man, need to TAKE CHARGE and build the habit of creating romantic moments that melt women on a regular basis.</p>
<p>I say this because I&#8217;ve gotten a jolt of lightning recently that screamed out, &#8220;Wait a minute, stupid, every woman in North America is PRIMED-or make that HARD WIRED&#8211;to have her femininity ignited on February 14th.&#8221;</p>
<p>And I say this because, well, you really have no choice, buddy. Valentine&#8217;s Day falls on a SATURDAY this year. Oh snap.</p>
<p>Face it, a couple of years ago, when V-day was kind enough to fall on a Thursday, I laid out a step-by-step plan on how you could literally date six or seven women at once and make all of them thrilled with you over a four day period.</p>
<p>This year, you can tear up that game plan. Saturday night is THE night. And there won&#8217;t be any excuses.</p>
<p>This means several things.</p>
<p>First of all, if you have your sights set on one woman, it&#8217;s a no brainer. You make plans with her for the night of the 14th. And you go with the flow, enjoying the heck out of a nice romantic evening together with your favorite woman.</p>
<p>And if this describes you, you&#8217;ve been given a MASSIVE GIFT. You see, every single fancy restaurant and swanky dance club in your town is going to be BOOKED SOLID by a bunch of &#8220;Mr. Nice Guys&#8221; lining up to spend $$$ on that woman they are trying to impress.</p>
<p>If Valentine&#8217;s Day is on a Monday it&#8217;s crowded enough out there. But a Saturday? Are you kidding me?</p>
<p>This trumps even Valentine&#8217;s Day on a Friday. After all, were that the case you might be able to get away with planning something for Saturday with her instead. But it&#8217;s not like you can substitute Friday the 13th for Valentine&#8217;s Day and expect to get away with it. Bummer.</p>
<p>So you may be thinking you have to gut it out and fight the crowds for the sake of &#8220;tradition&#8221; or something. Forgettaboutit. Like I said, this is the year you&#8217;re going to TAKE CHARGE and MAKE YOUR OWN RULES. Instead of &#8220;celebrating&#8221; Valentine&#8217;s Day, start &#8220;celebrating&#8221; the woman in your life.</p>
<p>The year I met Emily, I did this to a certain degree by planning a BACKWARDS evening. That&#8217;s right. I took her dancing at 7pm, hours before the crowds arrivedâ€¦and caught dinner at 10.30 or so, long after everyone else was finished eating. All she remembers nowadays are the memories themselves, not at what time they happened.</p>
<p>But really, I think you can be even more creative than that.</p>
<p>If you live somewhere reasonably warm this time of year (like Australia, for instance) why not take it outdoors? Have you ever planned a moonlight picnic? If not, do it. You&#8217;re only five days off from a full moon this year. Get away from other people and ignite that femininity in private.</p>
<p>And I don&#8217;t want any e-mails asking, &#8220;But Scot, how do I ignite femininity? What does that MEAN?&#8221; Moonlight + Picnic + Feminine Woman + Masculine Guy = Ignition. That&#8217;s all it takes.</p>
<p>And even if you live in the northern peninsula of Michigan (or even you, that one guy on my list who is somewhere in the friggin&#8217; Yukon Territory), you can find a place indoors where it&#8217;s just YOU and HER and a bottle of red wine. Even if that&#8217;s at YOUR place, Cook For Your Date fans.</p>
<p>This year, YOU&#8217;RE going to make the rules. You&#8217;re going to take back Valentine&#8217;s Day and replace commercialism with the REAL meaning: ROMANCE. Just you, herâ€¦the momentâ€¦and the memory. Take charge, make a creative plan that bypasses the massesâ€¦and enjoy the ride.</p>
<p>But what if you&#8217;re dating more than one woman these days? Simple. Get out of town. Go on a weekend snowboarding trip to Sun Valley, ID. Send every woman a card and tell them you&#8217;ll spend some &#8220;quality time&#8221; with them when you get back. And yesâ€¦considering Valentine&#8217;s Day is on Saturday this year, I&#8217;m dead serious.</p>
<p>Finally, some of you are undoubtedly asking, &#8220;Well, what about me? I don&#8217;t even have a date for Valentine&#8217;s Day.&#8221; Well guess what? Your concern is NOTHING compared to the myriad of women out there who are SCARED STIFFLESS that Valentine&#8217;s Day is going to leave them dateless in its wake.</p>
<p>Women romanticize the living tofu out of February 14th. And this is GREAT NEWS for you. Why? Because this means you have a few days to get your act together and make a difference.</p>
<p>And without a doubt, the best place to get that job done is ONLINE.</p>
<p>Seriously, gentlemen. Every single woman with an online dating profile is EXTRA MOTIVATED about now to make some serious time with a great guy online. This guy needs to be YOU. But here it isâ€¦it&#8217;s like the lottery. You&#8217;ve got to PLAY to WIN.</p>
<p>Have you been considering online dating? If you have, then why not give it a try now&#8230;at what may be the perfect time of the year to see great success.</p>
