YOUR GUIDE TO A ROMANTIC EVENING

Surprise her.
A romantic evening doesn’t have to begin at sunset. Surprise your special someone with a gift during the day. And if she works, even better; that way she can flaunt you to all her jealous co-workers. Not only does an early surprise leave her feeling lovey-dovey, but it also builds anticipation to see you later on.

What should you send? Clichés aside, flowers are an ideal choice because most women appreciate a nice floral arrangement. But be sure to put some thought into the bouquet you choose.

If she’s got a sweet tooth, chocolates or candy are another option (Godiva works better than Hershey).

If you’re feeling really motivated, get her something that she mentioned in passing, like that little antique necklace she noticed in the thrift shop window, or a bottle of her favorite perfume that she just finished. Keep your ears open and the ideas will flow.

And the card? Keep it short and sweet with a hint of what’s to come. Something simple like, “Just thinking of you, can’t wait to see you tonight…”

Create a romantic setting at home.
The next phase of Operation Romance will be in the house, and you’ll want to put some time aside to create an ambience that exudes romance. This involves selecting the perfect music, menu and lighting. If you’re married or live with your woman, it may take some work to plan this out. Just pick a day when you know she has a lot of errands to run.

Personalize the music selection.
The best way is a custom-made CD. So break out the burner on your PC, and pick a variety of songs that you know she’ll be into. She’ll appreciate the extra thought and effort.

Prepare the meal yourself.
The most important rule about a romantic dinner can be summed up in three words — cook, cook and cook. Sure, many women would love a meal at an uber-chic bistro. But when a woman wants to be romanced, she’ll almost always prefer a fine dish cooked by her beau to one cooked by a stranger in a puffy, white hat. It’s just more intimate and personal.

Mango Chicken and Penne à la Vodka are some examples of romantic dishes that are easy to prepare, and various websites offer a plethora of simple recipes. So get your hands dirty, and if the oven bursts into flames, you have permission to eat out.

Listen up
Most women love a good listener, so when you’re trying to be romantic, make sure you’re attentive to what she says. You have to engage in the conversation by asking her questions and encouraging her to share her thoughts.

And that doesn’t mean you have to keep quiet — romantic talk should by no means be a one-way street. Just be conscious that you’re paying close attention and not dominating the conversation.

Here are some examples of conversation ideas that will keep the mood romantic and sensual:

Ask her what she’s thinking about. Yep, just like that. It’s simple, to the point and will steer the conversation in a deep direction.

Be nostalgic. Reminisce about the first time you met or your first kiss.

Talk about your turn-ons. Is there something she did or said recently that really got you in the mood? Is there something you recently did that got her hot and bothered?

And remember be clever, witty and deeply attentive to her every need…

‘A Woman’s Worth’

(Verse 1)
You could buy me diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby, you know I’m worth it
Dinner light by candles
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last, and last
Baby, you know I’m worth it

(Bridge)
Wanna’ please; wanna’ keep; wanna’ treat your
woman right?
Not just told, but to show, that she knows she’s
worth your time
You will loose, if you choose, to refuse to put her first
She will and she can find a man who knows her worth!
Mmmmmmmmm

(Chorus)
‘Cause a real man knows a real woman when he
sees her (when he sees her)
And a real woman knows a real man
Ain’t ‘fraid to please her (please her)
And a real woman knows a real man always
comes first (first)
And a real man just can’t deny
A woman’s worth

Mmmmmm hmmmmm (x1), Mmmmmm hmmmmm (x1), Mmmmmm hmmmmm (x1), Mmm

(Hold up)

(Verse 2)
If you treat me fairly
I’ll give you all my goods…
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby, I know you’re worth it
If you never play me
Promise not to bluff
I’ll hold you down when it gets rough
‘Cause baby, I know you’re worth it

(Bridge 2)
She rolls the mile; makes you smile, all the while
being true
Don’t take for granted the passions that she has
for you
You will lose, if you choose, to refuse to put her first
She will and she can find a man who knows
her worth!
…OH!

(Chorus)
‘Cause a real man knows a real woman when he
sees her (when he sees her)
And a real woman knows a real man
Ain’t ‘fraid to please her (please me)
And a real woman knows a real man always
comes first (first, baby)
And a real man just can’t deny
A woman’s worth

[Breakdown]
No need to read in between the lines
Spell it out for you (spell it out for you)
Just hear this song
‘Cause you can’t go wrong when you value(Better value…)
A woman’s, woman’s, woman’s, woman’s Worth! (yeah)

[Chorus (x2)]
‘Cause a real man knows a real woman when he
sees her (when he sees her[1st time]) (nothin’ like a woman’s worth [2nd time])
And a real woman knows a real man
Ain’t ‘fraid to please her (please me [1st time]) (ohhh, ooh [2nd time])
And a real woman knows a real man always
comes first (first, baby [1st time]) (comes first [2nd time])
And a real man just can’t deny
A woman’s worth (a woman’s worth)
