Guys, it's never too early to start preparing how to show your love for her on Valentine's Day. Don't buy a card the night before and expect her to be thrilled. Here are five simple things you can do that will make her day.

Too often, we guys treat Valentine's Day too lightly, and our last minute shopping and lack of planning does not go over well. Want to knock her socks off? Here are five simple things you can try.

1. Write a Love Journal: As far in advance as you can, start a journal of love notes to your significant other. Keep it secret, of course, but give it to her on Valentine's Day. This will show her that you've been loving her all along and that Valentine's Day isn't just a one day thing.

2. Homemade Coupons: Give her a stack of hand-written notes -- "coupons" -- that list things you will do for her and that she can redeem at any time. These can include household chores, yard work, back massages, nights out with the ladies, or whatever. Pick things that you know she will appreciate.

3. Make Today Special: Think about something that you would normally do for her on Valentine's Day, and then do it today instead. Repeat tomorrow, and then the next day, etc. On the one hand, this might make Valentine's Day less special, but at some point she'll realize that you're treating her to Valentine's Day every day.

4. What She Wants: Skip the chocolate and flowers unless you KNOW that she REALLY likes that. What does she really want? For you to cook the dinner? For you to give her a foot rub? For you to take the daughter to ballet? This of course means that you've got to have an inkling of what's important to her.

5. No Strings Attached: In all these things, show her that your love for her is unconditional. Don't demand or expect anything in return. She wants to be loved for who she is, not because of what she'll do for you.

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all.

男同胞们,现在开始准备情人节如何向你的她示爱不算太早。不要在情人节之前买卡片并期望她会很激动。你可以做5件简单的事情,让她高兴。

我们男同胞对情人节很轻率,常常没有计划而且在最后时刻才去购买礼物,这样把事情搞得一团糟。想占有她吗?这里有5件小事你可以尝试一下。

1.写爱情日记:尽可能早地开始写记录你重要另一半的爱情日记。当然,你要把日记保密起来,在情人节那天交给她。这样会让她觉得你一直以来爱着她,并不是仅仅情人节这一天。

2.自制优惠券:给她一堆已经写好的便签纸---“优惠券”—上面罗列着你想为她做的事情而且她可以任何时候使用它。这些可以包括家务、园艺、背部按摩、晚上与女性朋友出去约会以及其他任何东西。收集一些她会喜欢的东西。

3.让每天变得特别:考虑一下你想在情人节为她做什么,那么就把今天当作情人节来过。明天也这么做,后天也一样。另一方面,这样做就会使得情人节显得没那么特别,然而重要的是这会让她觉得天天都在过情人节。

4.她想要什么:除非她真得很喜欢巧克力和鲜花,要不你就不要买。她真正想要什么呢?让你做一顿晚餐?让你帮她揉揉脚底?让你像父亲一样带着她去看芭蕾舞?当然,这意味着你首先应该知道什么东西对她来说是重要的。

5.无任何附带条件:这所做的一切让她认为你对她的爱是无条件的。不要要求或希望有任何的回报。她希望她被爱是因为她是谁,而不是她能为你做什么。

祝大家情人节快乐!
