Hold it, Buddy. Hold it, Lady. When’s the last time you did something special for that special someone? Not just any old thing. Something that showed you were interested only in pleasing him or her. Something that took some thought, some time to get it together, some energy to pull it off. Something only you could do to make only your partner feel special.

Chances are, life being what it is, that it’s been some time. Think about it. It has been awhile. Well, there’s no time like today to get it together to show him or her that they’re something special, that they’re important to you, that you love them. It’s always a good idea to show the one you’re with that he or she’s the one and only.

Need some help? A well-turned romantic evening is always a winner. Do everything yourself. Start off with some invitations. You know, the kind you send through the mail, or even email. (But a real invitation through snail mail gets extra points!) Title it with something along these lines: “Enjoy a Night of Fun, Love, and Romance!” Include some coupons that you’ve made in PhotoShop using a favorite picture of yours. Call them “Love Coupons.” Or, if you lack those skills, you can always find something in a local card or gift shop to fill the bill.

As for the “love coupons,” put something on them such as “you may redeem these coupons on the evening of —” and enter the date. Add something like “you may request any such act that makes you happy when it comes to intimacy or romance.” That allows your partner to bring some things to the party, maybe something new and exciting.

Have some fun yourself and write suggestions on the coupons. One for a foot massage, perhaps. Or one for necking. Or one for … you can figure them out. Just be playful and creative, maybe even explore new possibilities. Almost anything that will make him or her feel special and loved will do.

Don’t forget the dinner to make the evening a success. Making it yourself will certainly score extra points. But, if you’re not a chef, ordering it in shouldn’t hurt at all. The point is to share an intimate time with your lover. Do whatever makes the most sense, that makes you feel the most comfortable.

But, should you order dinner, personalize the meal with some fresh flowers on the table, light some favorite scented candles, and open a special bottle of wine you know will be enjoyed. These touches will add that extra bit of thoughtfulness that’s so important.

Watch out for those “love coupons”! Of course, your partner can redeem them at any time. But, things may take a turn toward the intensely romantic and you may end up with a rather cool meal eaten at a rather late time of the evening. But, remember, loves conquers all.

Pulling together a smashing evening as above, will be a part of your fond memories together. Your partner will remember it for a long time. Your relationship will find new ground for flourishing. Your imagination, your creativity, will deepen your understanding and love of each other. And, who knows, you might find out some surprising new side of your lover, a side that will intrigue you and keep your time together fresh.
