First step, don't panic or stress, visualize the situation, and envision exactly how you want the outcome to occur. Now if your married, or have been in a fairly long relationship you might think this doesn't apply, but your absolutely wrong. If this is your first Valentines Day with a person, you want everything to go smoothly, and as planned. Valentines Day was designed to get men to spend money, as well as exploit those who fail to comply. Envision you and your partner at a restaurant in a long line waiting for hours mad you came here, and as brisk as breeze the smooth, young guy passes you up with a reservation for two that just got there. What do you THINK your partners thinking in the back of her mind? So in order to avoid that as well as other major pitfalls follow these instructions precisely. Remember Life is 10% motivation, 90% Preparation. Can't decide where to take your main squeeze for the dinner date? Remember, When thinking elegance in an dinning atmosphere... think scenery! Therefore even if the food, or service isn't up to standards at least there's something to look at, besides your hot date to take your mind off of it.

So by this time you should be searching..searching...searching for a place that has not been completely booked to capacity by all the other overachievers. Here is the solution, call the restaurant and ask them what is the expected wait time, they will respond back an hour or two, cool. Depending on when you want to take your date out plan accordingly, if you want to be eating around 8:30 pm you go to the restaurant at 6:30 pm check in by yourself, the host will tell you its going to be 2 hours, but you already knew that. Within this time frame is your chance to run your errands (i.e. pick up cards, stuffed teddy bears, chocolate, and roses) Go back home and get dressed around 7:15-7:30 pm, the goal is to be leaving her place no later than 8:00 pm, and arriving at the restaurant at 8:15 pm. You guys will arrive at the door with a long line, and she will think damn he didn't get a reservation we're going to be here for awhile. Dont worry, that is exactly what you want her to think!


Cordially walk up to the host/hostess by yourself, and ask has (name) party of two been called, they will say no, that's when you go back and wait with her for awhile playing the dumb role. A couple of minutes should pass and next thing you know you hear "(name) party of two." With a cute, but devious smile you take her hand and walk her to the table, she will be thinking awww he did make reservations how sweet...

Your in there... HAPPY VALENTINES
