With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, many individuals all over the U.S. are looking for ways to go the extra mile when it comes to their love life. Whether it is in the online dating world, getting out of the friends zone with your crush, or spending the day with your significant other.. There tends to be an emphasis on making the night as romantic as possible for the girl, in return for a little of the dirty later on. As a female with a high sex drive, I can guarantee that my boyfriend will always be getting some, regardless of the holiday. But the hopeless romantic inside of me is here to help give you some tips & tricks which are almost a sure fire way to get you laid this Valentine’s Day.

Don't Be Shy

If you’ve already been to the dating sites, and through the process of finding a date for the night, or multiple ones, then you have already taken the first big step towards getting laid. But choosing the right person for the night may be quite impossible when it comes closer to the date. Especially when everyone is rushing to find a last minute option to not be alone. If you are really in it just for a casual hook-up ladies, don’t be shy about it. There are plenty of men who would be more than happy to reciprocate the act of sex with someone else who just wants a simple fling. And while men can’t take the same approach as blatantly as the women can, it just means they are going to be a lot more diplomatic with the wording they choose.

Location Is Everything

As a man, you are going to want to pull out all the stops. What a woman desires is pretty much every little thing she has seen in romance films from the past decade. This means a candle lit dinner before a movie, followed by a walk on the beach. Unless she is a bit more of the athletic type, chicks dig the cheese in life. So be sure to try to top off the evening with a bit of it by asking her back to wine at your place. This is the perfect timing for some cuddling by candles & then some. This may not be something you guys may enjoy, but putting up with the romance of ‘wining & dining’ is sure to have her putting out later that night.

Get The Home Fires Burning

A great way to make her jaw drop, as well as a surefire way to have her where you want her is stay at home. This may be a bit creepy for a first date, so leave this pointer for the love birds. As a woman, nothing is sexier to me than a man cooking a home made meal, followed by a combo of the steps above. Be extravagant. Start with a light salad that is laced with tons of vegetables, almonds or cashews, maybe even some mandarin oranges, and a nice light dressing. Follow that with an exotic main course, like maybe a Thai flank steak, or even make a light Carbonara pasta for the both of you to share. After finishing, take it back to the couch for some dessert wine with a blanket for a romantic comedy & you are pretty much ready for a home run at this point!

While getting laid shouldn’t be your only motive for the evening, it is definitely a lot easier to make a move on this night than others. With expectations for sexual encounters heightened on this day for both male & females, it’s a great start to blossoming your beautiful relationship or to even find a new FWB (Friend With Benefits). If you plan on being sexually active this Valentine’s Day, for everyone’s sake, please protect yourself & your partner by choosing to practice safe sex with a condom.

Valentine’s Day can be enjoyed at all ages, stages, and income levels of life.  But what can you do that says, “I love you,” when you’re on a tight budget? Here are six loving and affordable acts that prove that love never needs to be spelled: m-o-n-e-y!

1. Home Cooking

Make a special celebration at home. Candles, flowers, a good meal, and a great wine can say I love you for less than the cost of two appetizers and drinks at a lot of today’s high-end restaurants. What’s your love’s favorite dish? Make it. (Yes, you can!) Going out quite often means compromising your favorite foods for what someone else puts on the menu. Best of all, you can snuggle up in each other’s arms, and kiss the night away.

2. Agree to Exchange Intimate Gifts

No, I don’t mean edible underwear, but rather token gifts of love. Perhaps for $25 or less, these gifts are a result of the intimate knowledge you have of one another. The object here is to give something from the heart that connects with some aspect of your relationship. Maybe it’s a DVD of his favorite film as a kid, or a special item from an experience you both shared. Get creative, and put in a lot of thought. The time you took to think about this gift is what makes it so special.

3. Be Naughty and Nice

Christmas was so yesterday. It’s no longer about being naughty or nice. Valentine’s Day is the best time to be a little bit of both. Get him something sexy that you want him to wear, just for you. He can do the same for you. This is the best day in which to enjoy being the object of each other’s love--and it’s so much more fun being an object of lust.

4. Bubble Baths and Candles

Run a warm tub, get out the fluffiest towels, light those candles and make sure those bubbles have a delicious scent. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination…

5. Run away Together

We do so much for others on just about every day of the year; consider making Valentine’s Day a special occasion, just for the two of you. Perhaps it can’t be on that special day, but that’s okay. You’ll find better travel deals on the Sunday before, or the Saturday after, so jump in the car, hop on a train, or get on take the bus and make it a one day getaway. In fact, most travel and lodging prices have not been this affordable in years. So go somewhere you love to go or have always wanted to see, and make it a special time, just for the two of you!

6. Best Valentine’s Card Ever

For couples who hope to celebrate this and all future Valentine’s Days together, nothing means more than a love note inside a card. The meals, the candy, the token gifts all fade in time, but those handwritten notes passed between two lovers are tucked away and forever saved. A simple heart is the symbolic image of Valentine’s Day and loving words that come from the heart are treasures we keep for a lifetime.
