How To Make Your Loved One Say "Wow!" 

Proper Planning Is The Key: When you're thinking of surprising your loved one, careful planning is in order. First you'll decide on the mood - do you want wild fun, or a romanticly magical evening for two? Select your restaurant or food ideas carefully. Definitely think ahead and contact the appropriate people well in advance of this popular date. You'll need extra time to be sure any items that you order online are received in time for your night of magic too.

Write down all your details, then highlight the deadlines for decorations, cleaning schedules, going to the bank, contacting the restaurant or violin players, etc.

Restaurant Advice: Go beyond making a reservation for ValentineNight. Visit your dining choice in advance, then choose the exact table that you'd like to reserve - you'll get better results with proper tipping here too.

My hubby made this error on of all days, our 25th wedding anniversary - we had a reservation and yet were seated near the waitress station in a crowded hallway. Learn from our mistake!

Roll Out The Red: You can easily find a redcarpetsquares or rugs at your local store. RedContact Paper is a low cost solution for this dazzler too. Don't actually apply it to your floor, keep the backing on & use it as an inexpensive redroll of psuedo-carpet.

You could also line a walkway, entrance or room with Silk Rose Petals..

Don't like red? For an unusual change, decorate entirely in white lights, balloons and flowers and then feature just one special redheart gift.

Lighting Sets The Mood: Here's your opportunity to get really creative and change the effect of your setting with just a few tricks. Use lightstrings and turn off table and OverheadLights. Romantic Candles are always one of the easiest ways to develop MoodLighting.

The Music Makes It Happen: Select your music for the evening well in advance. If you have a 5-Disc CD Player you're in good shape. Or now's the time to invest in that Ipod Docking System you've been thinking about..

Think about their favorite music - cater to their tastes to envelope your loved one in comfort.

CandleLight Dinner For True Romance: If you've had the idea that you'd like to cook an elegant and refined DinnerFor2 - now's the time. Take advantage of some gourmet steaks online or other prepared meals to impress.

Have your table setup ahead of time with tablecloth, candles, place settings. A quick tip: The diningtable isn't the place for scented candles - they're for the living or other rooms.

Now's also good time to begin thinking of your sparkling dinner conversation too. Every Art of Conversation writer will let you in on the secret of preparing what you're going to say beforehand.

I hope that your SpecialEvening comes off with grand flair and that all your RomanticDreams come true!

Do You Speak The Language of Love to Them? 

When you really want to truly touch someone deeply, there are several clues to discover exactly what captures your loved one's truest interests. Here are some simple techniques to make your feelings known.

Everyone has a different outlook on the world - all of us have characteristics and filters for specific kinds of information. Some of us are sensory beings - feeling and tasting the world around us; others are analytical creatures - quantifying and qualifying all of our experiences, then making assessments and judgements. Other personalities are driven entirely by their emotions or intuition. But how can you know which form of communication is shortest way to their lovingheart?

In author Gary Chapman's book: The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate, he discusses different ways you to effectively communicate to your partner. Thoughtful expressions, quality time, gift giving, the right touch and gestures of kindness all go a long way in fostering growth as a couple.

Another method of deciphering an individual's secret lovelanguage is to listen very carefully to the way that they speak and the words they choose. People that frequently say "I hear what you're saying" or "Listen to this..." are generally auditory learners and interpret the world around them through their hearing and sounds. Choose the words that you use with these types of personalities carefully. Remember to speak their name often and offer encouragement, comfort and emotion in your creative expressions. They'll be more sensitive to your choice of music as well.

Many people are visually oriented. They percieve the world through appearances and often they'll make statements such as: "I see what you mean.." or "Will you take a look at...". It's easy to impress these lovers with gifts of clothing or highly crafted jewelry or other items that dazzle their eyes. When you speak to them, hold their gaze and express yourself through your eyes and smile - they're definitely watching. They'll also take great pride when you notice and compliment their appearance.

About 20 Percent of the population is tuned to intuitive or kinesthetic wavelengths. These are people that live through their feelings. They are the touchers and huggers among us. They'll say these kinds of things: "I feel like I can.." or "Keep in touch..". You'll want to cater to all of their senses when reaching out to these LovedOnes. They'll appreciate your soft touches when you're talking, as well as scented, tactile or romantic gifts.

Understanding auditory, visual and kinesthetic influences is the psychology of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. For a quick overview visit this NLP site, or master these techniques by reading NLP and Relationships.

Visit Chocolate StrawberriesEven beyond NPL, there are still other ways that you can shoot an arrow straight into their lovelight. I have a friend that is a fabulous cook. He often talks about his newest recipes and dishes, yet he's married to a lovely lady that just doesn't revel in his carefully prepared meals. The key to that man's heart is food! If my girlfriend ever asks me for advice on their relationship, I'll definitely advise her to take notice of his delicious preparations and compliment his tasty flavor combinations.

The point of my anecdote is observation. Ask yourself where your partner concentrates their interest. Are they totally into their car, hairstyle, home decor, or their dog? Then target these topics for gift giving, compliments and conversation, and you're sure to win their trueheart.
