What To Do About Valentine's Day

OK I have a confession to make to you. I have to admit that Valentine's Day has this way of sneaking up on me every year.
So THIS YEAR, I'm going to be intentional about giving you ENOUGH TIME to prepare for this the most infamous of holidays…at least as far as your relationships with women go.
Now sure, you know that deep down I'd love to join in the chorus of "macho" pickup and seduction experts that suggest you "just say no" to Valentine's Day and just tell the chick(s) you're seeing that you don't "celebrate" it.
Man, would I love to join that chorus.
After all, like I've shared in the past (as in, say, maybe a little under a year ago?) this is yet another holiday that appears to have been relegated to little more than a marketing bonanza for the diamond industry. And this no sooner than you swallowed hard and paid the credit card bill from Christmas.
But this time, I've done some thinking. And I'm all but sure that The Leading Man would rather take back Valentine's Day in a brazen coup than surrender it to commercialism and…God forbid…"Mr. Nice Guy".
That's right, instead of whining about how Valentine's Day forces us guys to "put a woman on a pedestal" or something, I exhort you to MAKE YOUR OWN RULES this year.
Embrace Valentine's Day…but make like Frank and do it YOUR WAY.
I say this because you, as a "Big Four" man, need to TAKE CHARGE and build the habit of creating romantic moments that melt women on a regular basis.
I say this because I've gotten a jolt of lightning recently that screamed out, "Wait a minute, stupid, every woman in North America is PRIMED-or make that HARD WIRED--to have her femininity ignited on February 14th."
And I say this because, well, you really have no choice, buddy. Valentine's Day falls on a SATURDAY this year. Oh snap.
Face it, a couple of years ago, when V-day was kind enough to fall on a Thursday, I laid out a step-by-step plan on how you could literally date six or seven women at once and make all of them thrilled with you over a four day period.
This year, you can tear up that game plan. Saturday night is THE night. And there won't be any excuses.
This means several things.
First of all, if you have your sights set on one woman, it's a no brainer. You make plans with her for the night of the 14th. And you go with the flow, enjoying the heck out of a nice romantic evening together with your favorite woman.
And if this describes you, you've been given a MASSIVE GIFT. You see, every single fancy restaurant and swanky dance club in your town is going to be BOOKED SOLID by a bunch of "Mr. Nice Guys" lining up to spend $$$ on that woman they are trying to impress.
If Valentine's Day is on a Monday it's crowded enough out there. But a Saturday, Are you kidding me?
