It'll be snow shovels and Skidoo suits for my wife and me today. Romantic, n'est pas?

Shared physical labor, very romantic! Especially if followed by a candlelit dinner.

This post brings back memories. I am of the age where I can look back on many Valentines days before marriage and the funny thing is I had usually had just as much fun when I was unattached as when I had a date. I had a group of friends and at least 50% of us were unattached at any given time, and we would go out and hang out with other people who were also unattached. Restaurants for those with a date, clubs for the singles. Fun times but thankfully in the past. Much happier now with a few chocolate truffles and a good nights sleep.

Andrew, yup, chocolate and later on sleep is precisely what my wife and I are planning on!

Well yes, but all is better with kisses. While others’ decision to engage with you are not strictly up to you, there’s a lot you can do to make mutual osculatory events more likely. I assume our mentors don’t expect lovers to knock, unsolicited, upon our barrel.

Brian, yes, that's the point: what is up to us is to act appropriately, thus maximizing the chances that the other person will be interested and reciprocate. But to do or not to do so is entirely up to them.
