11 BE INSPRED, FEBRUARY 2014 value- pictures, keep sakes, handwritten love letter (if you’re going to propose), hand written compliment letter (a way of expressing your appreciation), crafts, anything you’ve planned, or collected. Try to make some keepsakes of your own; it puts more love into your box. Design it with colorful wrapping paper. Fill the box with the stuff that won’t look damaged when it is opened. Stick a couple of red roses or other flowers on the box after you close it. There you have it, you’re very own- Box of Love. Propose or Compliment: Make Him Surprised If he is the only man you’ve been dating, let him know how much you trust him, love him and care him. Tell him about all the great things he does that always keep you happy and satisfied. Making compliments makes him appreciate you more. You know, proposing is a man’s game. Try to read his mind first. If you’re determined that you’re going to propose to him on this Valentine’s Day, keep it secret. If it’s your first time in the universe of love, I suspect, you might feel a kind of sheepish. But don’t worry; you’re going to do it. Oh, remember your gift box. Best of luck! Outing: Stay Close, Stay Together Valentine’s Day is the perfect day for going out with your guy. The lovely, loving-environment in this day would be great to spend some alone time with your Valentine. Chose a place where you can have some intimate time together. Usually, the woman relies on the guy to choose the getaway and make all the travel arrangements. But you can also share your thoughts and ideas; it lets you inform each other what really turns you on. You can go for ice skating, a culinary trip to an exotic destination, or you can take a long walk together if you do not have an outdoor plan in this Valentine’s Day.
