Valentine's Day.

As I write this it's bit past midnight and there are probably quite a few guys thinking that they need to do something for Valentine's Day.

Please don't be the idiot that calls up the nice restaurant after work and thinks that you can get a reservation, even when you tell them it's for Valentine's Day we still don't care enough to bump the person that reserved weeks ago.

Chocolates and flowers are good but do be careful, I've seen some people get bored with the standbys, make sure that your significant other doesn't get bored with them.  We'll use chocolate (because chocolate is proof of so much that is good in the world) as an example.  If your SO likes lusts after chocolate in a rather unnatural and deviant way then you should be happy that you have them in your life and strive to make everyday one of wonder and beauty for them.  Also you can change up the kind of chocolate you get for them, I've seen chocolate covered potato chips (my first thought was "ewww" then I tried some on a whim and I couldn't stop stuffing them in my mouth), some good quality chocolate toffee; what the hell, get some chocolate syrup and pour it on yourself and let them lick it off or vice versa.

You could do a double boiler set-up (very easy, see picture) in your kitchen and dip your own fruit in it (mind out of the gutter if you please), strawberries, cherries (real not maraschino), bananas, apples, peaches (awesome if firm enough), pound cake or angel food cake, you could even do jalapeno's or Pringles if you swing that way.

You forgot Valentine's Day and it's okay, read my blog and you can get recipes for a pizza (your SO will appreciate the home cooked aspect) and here's a fun way to end the evening.
