Something little to let him/ her know that you love him/ her. \n\nBe creative! Valentine's day is not like Christmas where you have to give actual presents, it's about showing your love for your significant other.\n\nHere are some ideas:\n\n- Visit a local art museum alone, learn about the works with romantic themes, and bring your wife/ girlfriend/ boyfriend/ husband back for a personal tour.\n\n- Go for a mystery ride to an unannounced destination. Keep your husband/ wife/ girlfriend/ boyfriend guessing until you arrive at a favorite beach, ice cream palour, restaurant, theater, sport game, coffee shop, or ice skating/ roller skating rink, etc.\n\n- Fill his/ her whole bedroom closet, garage, coat closet, car, drawer, bathroom cabinet, linen closet, etc. with balloons.\n\n- Woman:  Dress up & act ladylike.  Be polite & appreciate what the man is doing for you.  \n\n- Men:  Act like a real gentleman.  Open the door for her.  Help her with her coat.  Open her car door for her.  Dress nice.  Be on your best behavior.  Smile at her while looking in her eyes.  Tell her how special she is to you & why.\n\nDon't spend a lot of money. Hope this helps you. Have fun!

Introduce yourself and just ask.  Women (some) like a go-getter.  Plus, if you never ask, you'll never know what the possibilities are.  :)

Oh that's so sweet! You don't want to overdue it, keep it simple. Tradition dictates that flowers are a must, but instead of roses try to find out what her favorite flowers are. That show how much you really care, you know something special about her. Find out her favorite desert, and make a moonlight or sunset picnic in a secluded spot.  That way you can talk without being interrupted. Make a mix cd to listen to, with all her favorite song, silly ones along with romantic ones. And most girls are goo-goo over stuff animals, but I think that would be overdoing it a bit. Those are just my suggestions.

WARNING. THIS THREAD IS FULL OF AWFUL ADVICE.\n\nMan to man, let me give you a very important piece of advice. Do NOT ask women about how to deal with women. Women do not want what they say they want. They may think they hate anticipation, but they secretly thrive on it. Anticipation and unpredictability are good. (Although, I think the line about "I wanna ask you out, but right now am not in the mood" is awful - please don't use that.)\n\nThey're probably going to give me thumbs down for this, but I'm telling you from experience, it's the truth. Again, the two points to take from this:\n\n1. Anticipation and unpredictability are good\n2. Don't trust what women SAY, trust how they RESPOND\n\nSorry ladies, I love you, but the guys who actually follow your advice end up being the guys who are too wussy to get a girl.\n\n[See, there go the thumbs down already! Don't believe em, bro! I'm looking out for you.]

i WOULD LIKE RESPECT, AND I LIKE FLOWERS, I LIKE PRIVATE COZY PLACES, I LOVE AFFECTION. JUST A QUICK KISS AND SAY I LOVE YOU FOR NO REASON, A LITTLE RUB, SPENDING TIME TOGETHER. SHOW HER SOME FUN. CONCERTS, FAIRS, WALK ON THE BEACH, NOT STARE AT OTHER WOMEN FOR SURE! BE YOURSELF. MAKE HER LAUGH! LOOK AT HER IN THE EYES WHEN SHE IS TALKING TO YOU. GIVE HER YOUR FULL ATTENTION WHEN YA'LL ARE TALKING. LEAVE HER A NOTE, FIX A NICE BUBBLE BATH WITH CANDLES, TAKE HER TO DINNER. CALL HER DURING THE DAY JUST TO SAY I LOVE YOU OR I AM THINKING OF YOU. SHE WILL LIKE ALL THOSE THINGS! GOOD LUCK!

I love these types of questions.  \n\nBe creative!  Valentine's day is not like Christmas where you have to give actual presents, it's about showing your love for your significant other.\n \nHere are some ideas:\n\n- Mail a week's worth of valentine cards to arrive during the 7 days before valentine's day.\n\n- Fill his sink with little kids valentine cards so when he wakes up in the morning he will go to the sink and not be able to run the water until he reads some of these cards- or moves them.\n\n- Write I Love You with soap on his mirror so when he wakes up he will see this\n\n- Write a love letter & mail it to arrive on Valentine's Day.  Mark it "Personal & Confidential" real big on the envelope.  Talk about your feelings.\n\n- Rent a stretch limo stocked with champagne & hors d'oeuvres to take him to dinner when he least expects it- sometime during Valentine's week.\n\n- Visit a local art museum slone, learn about the works with romantic themes, and bring your boyfriend back for a personal tour.\n\n- Go for a mystery ride to an unannounced destination.  Keep your boyfriend guessing until you arrive at a favorite beach, ice cream palour, restaurant, theater, sport game, coffee shop, or ice skating/ roller skating rink, etc.\n\n- Fill his whole bedroom closet, garage, coat closet, car, drawer, bathroom cabinet, linen closet, etc. with balloons.\n\nHope this helps you.  Have fun!

Just come right out & ask...say, "what are you doing Saturday night?"  And if she doesn't have anything planned, say, "how about going with me to dinner?"  Or whatever or wherever you want to do.  Just don't wait until the last minute, nobody likes to think they're you're last choice (ie, bettter than nothing).

1) Appraoch with a smile\n2) start a conversation with a compliment\n3) Be upfront but ask if this is a good time ("I really would like to get to know more about you if you have the time/interest/wouldn't mind/not busy/etc")  Small ammounts of humility and self deprication are charming, desperation is not.\n4) Ask her about herself\n5) Keep smiling\n6) Be yourself\n7) Ask her to dance/buy her a drink/something where you are\n8) Do that for a while\n9) ask for her number, make a tenative plan ("I would love to take you out for dinner/go to the zoo/call you on Friday"

You: Hey, are you going to the dance? Him: Yes. You: Oh, are you going by yourself? If it's yes, ask if he'd like to go with you, if it's no, ask if he's going with friends or does he have a date. If he has a date, you can just casually say, "Oh,she's nice. Hope to see you both there!" If it's just with friends, you can still ask if he wants to go with you. If he says he's not going at all, ask if he'd like to go with you.\n Keep it casual, light and friendly. If he turns you down completely, there's no reason to be embarrassed. You were just making conversation. Good luck!

You don't always have to buy a present. With most women it's more the thought you put into it than what you buy. A call in the middle of the day just to say hi and your thinking about her. Put a single rose on her car seat or under the windshield wiper of her car while she's at work with a note saying from a secret admirer and tell her to meet you somewhere for dinner. A romantic picnic in the country with candles and wine. When she gets home from work, have a hot bath ready for her surrounded by candles. Good Luck!

Quickie:\nAdd some romance to your day by taking yourself out on a date. Splurge a little!\n\nOverview:\nWhile current circumstances may not paint you in the most flattering light, you know that you'll be vindicated in the end. Let that foreknowledge influence your behavior now. Be compassionate and forgiving.

Why don't you try spending some time with her at work before you ask for a real date? Offer her some small candies when you see her at work. If you leave work at the same time, walk her to the bus stop or her car. See if you can sit with her on lunch break, or try saying hello on coffee break. \n\nIf her reaction to these attentions is positive, then ask her to go somewhere with you after work, instead a more formal date. "On Fridays, I go to Martha's Diner for pie and coffee after work. Do you like pie?" is more likely to get a yes than "Will you go out with me sometime?"
